Rare
Hydriot shipping family's house in
original condition to renovate with large garden. Built at the beginning
of the last century, the property consists of a detached main house constructed
of stone over two storeys situated in a large pleasant garden. Whilst Perivoli
can be lived in as is, it does need careful renovation work to bring it
up to comfortable standards and expert restoration work to preserve the
original stencilwork, floorboards, ceilings, etc. The main attraction is
the large level walled garden with many mature trees and stone sheds for
keeping chickens, tools, etc. It features a large fresh water well and
an original washing trough, once used for the laundry.
Perivoli would make a handsome
family residence or even a non-profit organization conference centre with
its large outdoor spaces and substantial rooms to hold many people.
RESTORATION
: We can also undertake the restoration of
the property. We have 35 years experience in Greece conserving historical
buildings. Our team of master builders and craftsmen would restore the
Perivoli Property to its former brilliance. We have worked with conservationists
and artisans on the Miaoulis Ketseas Mansion, the Argyropoulos Mansion
etc, and have the expertise and sensitivity to respect the original
beauty of the property.
LOCATION
: No steps! This property is in the heart of the main port of Hydra
with a private walled elevated entrance off a wide, shaded street planted
with tall trees. It has views to the surrounding mountains and over the
town and of course, over the beautiful garden. It is approximately a 5
minute walk (all flat) to the harbour and a 10 minute walk to swimming
area.
