Detached townhouse with large roof-terrace in Heraklion Crete

This exceptional 1990-built, 227 m2, 3-level and five (5) large bedrooms detached townhouse, in the Heraklion neighbourhood of Patelas, renovated in  2008, is characterised by its white marble floor throughout all three floors and by its pergolas' adorned terrace, on the forth level, for al fresco living and stupendous entertainment opportunities.

The house, being newly built, but in traditional architecture lines, is fully anti-earthquake proof, following the Greek anti-earthquake regulations, the toughest in Europe. The traditional Cretan townhouse architecture lines are exemplified by  its white marble floors, giving it, together with the double glazing, but oak-wooden frames and staircase to all floors, a luxurious town-living feeling.  Marble floors are of course probably the easiest to clean and maintain, ready for co-living with one's pets. The house is surrounded by town balconies overlooking a leafy Heraklion street-scape, while the lack of a garden is compensated by its large roof-terrace, offering storage and open-air day living under canopies and flowered pergolas and stupendous Cretan nights under the stars.

The first floor is given to a very large open-plan living and dining space, with an impressive marble fire place and an equally impressive large fully renovated kitchen. The upper floors offer the five (5) large bedrooms and one (1) large bathroom, with the possibility of adding one more, as well as truly and impressively ample storage space. The house is of course centrally heated and offers a large sun heated boiler, affording ample hot water, almost throughout (being in Crete) the entire year.

This townhouse is ideal for a large city-active family, who would enjoy living in the middle of a lively mediterranean city, vibrant with life and city enjoyments.
