Modi, Chania, Crete, Greece

The property is located in a beautiful village of the municipality Platanias, just 5 minutes southwest from its center. It has very good access as within a short distance there is the entrance at the junction of the highway to Kissamos-Chania, from where you can go to the city center in just 20 minutes. It is an old stone residence, which was completely restored in 2018 and has been divided into two independent floors that are used independently but can also be connected in order to become one large house.

The plot is corner and the building has a west orientation. Therefore, it offers beautiful views over a verdant valley and up to the sea in the background. On the back, eastern side there is a fenced yard with covered parking space, built barbecue and a storeroom of 8 m², where the boiler room is located.

The ground floor is 91 m². The main entrance opens onto an open-plan living and kitchen area that is separated by a stone arch. In this space there is a traditional-style fireplace while plasterboard partitions with concealed lighting have been placed on the ceiling that create a warm atmosphere. A wide hallway leads to the back to a bathroom with shower, a storage-laundry room and a bedroom with a built-in wardrobe. In the corridor that leads to the private areas there was a wooden staircase that was leading to the upper floor, which can be re-installed before or after the purchase of the building.

The upper floor is currently accessible by an external staircase. It has an area of 66 m² and consists of an open-plan living and kitchen area, a bathroom with shower and a large bedroom. The kitchen is separated by a breakfast bar and there is a loft above, where you can possibly host relatives and friends or it may be converted into a storage room. The bedroom is large enough in order to accommodate a small living space and a wood-burning stove while it also has an exit to a large covered balcony with impressive panoramic views.

The building has been restored for personal purposes and not for other use or resale. Therefore, it has high-quality materials and there is great care for all the details. In almost all areas the ceilings have beautiful wooden lining while many of the wooden beams that were separating the two floors have been preserved. The entire house has central heating with radiators and an oil boiler, air conditioners on the upper floor as well as air conditioning lines ready for connection on the ground floor. In addition, there is provision for the installation of a solar panel as well as a photovoltaic system.

The village is beautiful and has hospitable inhabitants, many new and many traditional residences. There are also a mini market and a coffee shop. Within less than 5 minutes' drive there are all kinds of shops, supermarkets, bakery, pharmacy, taverns, cafes and much more. Within less than 10 minutes' drive there are also wonderful sandy beaches, ideal for swimming and walking.
