In the historic neighbourhood of Thiseio, within walking distance of the Acropolis, the Observatory, and the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, this meticulously preserved neoclassical mansion dates back to 1920 and unfolds across four levels in one of central Athens’ most distinguished residential settings. Combining original architectural details with carefully integrated modern comforts, the residence maintains the scale and atmosphere of an important Athenian townhouse while remaining entirely suited to contemporary living.
The façade and internal courtyard retain the symmetry and elegance of the period, with high ceilings, marble staircases, decorative plasterwork, tall French doors, and original timber flooring preserved throughout much of the house. The interiors are arranged around a central paved courtyard that brings natural light into the surrounding rooms while creating a sense of privacy rarely found in the centre of the city. Sculptural caryatid figures line part of the courtyard walls, reinforcing the classical character of the architecture without overwhelming the space.
The principal reception rooms occupy the main levels of the house and include formal sitting rooms and two dining areas connected directly to the courtyard through large openings. The proportions throughout are generous, with ceiling heights and full-length windows creating bright interiors that shift gently throughout the day as the sunlight moves across the house. Ornate detailing remains intact in the formal spaces, while softer neutral tones allow the original craftsmanship to remain the focus.
The residence currently contains four bedrooms and six bathrooms, alongside two kitchens and several flexible ancillary rooms that could function as additional bedrooms, a library, study, or private office. A separate entrance allows part of the property to operate independently as a studio, guest accommodation, or workspace while remaining connected to the main house internally.
The upper levels lead toward a private rooftop terrace with open panoramic views across Athens. From here, the Acropolis, Philopappou Hill, Pnyx, and the National Observatory become part of the daily landscape, particularly in the quieter hours of early morning and evening when the city light softens across the historic centre. The elevated position of the property gives the house an unusual sense of openness despite its central location.
Additional features include a private outdoor swimming pool, autonomous natural gas heating, air conditioning, fireplaces, extensive storage areas, and a combination of marble, tiled, and hardwood flooring throughout the interiors.
