Gastouri, Corfu, Ionian Islands, Greece

Incredible house with unique architecture in the traditional settlement of Gastouri, next to Achillion, is available for purchase.

The house consists of two buildings which are joined together and from one to the other there is internal access, the first one measuring 80,01 sq.m. which was purchased and renovated and the second one measuring 90,13 sq.m. which was  newly built and extended. The view of the house is organized by the projection of the hexagonal roof in the center of the second building. The entrance invites us right into the second  building. Internally, the largest part is the open-plan reception area with its distinctive interior decoration and the raised roof of the living room with its circular perimeter openings and small skylight at the top of the roof. The fireplace is located in the centre of the living room, while to the right and left we find recesses that have been converted into a library. If we continue we will find a bedroom with its own bathroom which is temporarily used as a space for painting , inspiration and creativity and to the left of the main entrance we will find another comfortable bathroom.

As we continue to the left we enter the second building which hosts on the ground floor the kitchen and a living-dining room with its own fireplace. A wooden internal staircase leads us upstairs to the 2 bedrooms and a bathroom. The house faces the lovely garden, which the owner has landscaped with great love and attention to detail. The glass pyramid-shaped skylight allows the entrance to the abundant natural light, which creates a feeling of uplifting in the interior ,which is replenished at night by the peripheral lighting of the ceiling.

A unique home that is sure to surprise even the most discerning tastes. The house is located just meters away from the famous Achilleius Palace, which was built at the request of Empress Elizabeth of Austria aka Sissy in the 19th century. The city centre and the airport are only 9 km away.
