Spetses, Saronic Gulf, Greece

In the heart of the enchanting island of Spetses, just a few steps from the famed Dapia square and overlooking the island's central beach of Agios Mamas, lies a rare and elegant residence steeped in history and character. Situated on the first floor of a grand neoclassical building, this 211 sq.m. home offers timeless charm, generous spaces, and uninterrupted sea views that stretch across the coastline and out toward the Peloponnese.

A gracious marble staircase leads to the home's entrance, opening into a spacious hall that sets the tone for the traditional layout that follows. The apartment features five bedrooms, a well-appointed kitchen, one family bathroom, and a guest bathroom, as well as additional storage.

From the northern-facing windows, of the main bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom, the sea reveals itself in all its beauty.

The main veranda, directly accessed by three of the five bedrooms, offers panoramic views of the vibrant promenade and the glistening waters of Agios Mamas beach. The gaze stretches across to the island's port and the distinguished Poseidonion Grand Hotel square, capturing the very soul of Spetses. A second, smaller veranda-also facing the sea-leads directly to the outdoor staircase and offers a more private space from which to enjoy the scenery.

This noble home is not only beautiful, but historically significant. Built over 200 years ago, it was once owned by the notable Leonidas family, heroes of the Greek War of Independence in 1821. It was later purchased by the grandmother of the current owners in 1897, when her family, Greek-Egyptians, returned permanently to Greece and chose Spetses as their cherished home. Over the decades, the house has hosted many prominent figures, from Nobel laureate Odysseas Elytis to celebrated actress Melina Mercouri, and even the former Prime Minister Georgios Rallis, all drawn by its unique charm and the allure of the island.

The veranda offers the perfect setting to experience the vibrant life of the island.

More than just a beautiful and historic building, this home connects you to the very soul of Spetses, at the very heart of the island's most celebrated cultural and sporting events. Enjoy front-row views to everything from the early summer regattas and the Spetsathlon, to the Spetses Mini Marathon in October and the breathtaking Armata in September. Your veranda becomes the perfect place to experience the vibrant life of the island.

Elegant, historical, and embraced by the energy of Spetses' most iconic setting, this exceptional apartment offers a unique opportunity to acquire a home where legacy, beauty, and lifestyle come together in perfect harmony.
