Houses for sale
Villa Kale Thea
Villa Kale Thea is located on the southern edges of the picturesque Old Village. It is situated on the road that leads to one of the island’s most beautiful beaches. The beach is about 20 minutes walk away and has two very good tavernas and excellent swimming and snorkelling.
The house was built to the owners specifications in 2006. It is extremely well maintained and decorated throughout in a most beautiful individualistic style which adds immense status to this house.
The upper floor comprises 2 good sized bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and an enormous kitchen dining area opening onto balconies with stunning clear uncluttered views to the neighbouring islands, sea and the surrounding countryside.
The lower floor has its own entrance to a big living space with bathroom and storage. There are spectacular dual aspect views also from this floor to the sea, sky and valley from both the very private balcony and enormous terrace. This could be turned into guest accommodation or as an extension of the main house.
The house is 137 sq. metres, set within a plot of 219 sq. metres. It has a very spacious feel. The tiled terracing, and small garden areas comprise 82 sq. metres. It is a very easy maintenance property.
The house has a large water storage tank under the house which is fed by the mains water supply. This is standard in all Greek houses although now not so necessary as we have a desalination plant on the island.
Living Area and Kitchen
From the tiled veranda at the front of the house, the front door leads into a huge (51sq. metres) kitchen/dining area. There is a spectacular wooden beamed ceiling of chestnut and pine, and terracotta tiled flooring. Large French windows lead out to a tiled balcony (18 sq. metres) with views to the islands beyond. The balcony has both a tiled roof and a small pergola area, and a park-style bench is included in the sale.
The kitchen area is separated from the dining area by a breakfast bar, with under counter storage, and a halogen hob. Along one wall are plenty of cupboards for storage, a stainless steel oven, fridge and sink unit, and cream coloured work surfaces with lots of power sockets. All white goods and large furnishings (dining tables etc.) are included in the sale.
The living area has ample room for dining, entertaining or relaxing. At the far end are the French doors opening on to the balcony.
There is a small ornamental wood-burner in one corner of the room.
