THE PERIVOLI PROPERTY

set on 696,24 m2 of ground with a main house offering 351 m2 living space on two floors

FOR SALE : 287,000,000 GRD

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. 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.
