Occupying the fifth floor of an elegant period building in the heart of Kolonaki, Wellington is a refined penthouse residence that combines generous proportions, classical character, and expansive outdoor living in one of Athens’ most established neighbourhoods. Recently renovated, the apartment balances the atmosphere of an aristocratic Athenian residence with the comfort and practicality of contemporary city living.
Extending across 230 sqm, the interiors unfold through a sequence of spacious reception and living areas filled with natural light from wide openings and surrounding terraces. Warm wooden flooring, marble details, high ceilings, and carefully preserved architectural elements give the residence a distinctly residential character, while the scale of the rooms reflects the grandeur of classic Kolonaki apartments. Throughout the day, light moves softly across the interiors, illuminating the textured rugs, library walls, and curated living spaces.
The principal reception rooms centre around a fireplace and open directly onto large terraces planted with mature greenery, creating a rare sense of privacy and calm above the city. From these outdoor spaces, views extend toward Lycabettus Hill and across the rooftops of central Athens, with portions of the Acropolis visible beyond. Pergola-covered seating and dining areas allow the terraces to function as natural extensions of the living spaces for much of the year.
The residence includes two principal bedrooms, among them a generous primary suite, together with two bathrooms finished in marble and natural stone. A separate rooftop service room with its own en suite bathroom adds flexibility for guests, staff, or additional private workspace. Curved architectural details, sculptural staircases, and wide corridors reinforce the apartment’s quietly theatrical character while maintaining a sense of warmth and intimacy throughout.
The kitchen and supporting service areas have been discreetly integrated into the layout, preserving the apartment’s elegant flow while ensuring modern functionality. Additional features include natural gas heating, central VRV air conditioning, double-glazed windows with electric shutters and insect screens, alarm system, boiler, and reinforced security doors. Two storage rooms further support long-term practical living in the city centre.
Located on one of Kolonaki’s prominent residential streets, Wellington sits within immediate reach of cafés, galleries, boutiques, museums, and Athens’ central cultural landmarks, while remaining protected from the intensity of the city below. The residence captures a distinctly Athenian atmosphere — elegant, layered, and deeply connected to the rhythm of central Athens.
