M1268 - (Modernisation) 173m2 4-bed house, garage, store, garden, sea & mountain views, 1500m beach

This property is a fantastic opportunity to create a spacious high-quality residence for personal use and/or rental income. It lies in a small village on Kissamos plain which enjoys sea and mountain views, and is just 1500 metres from sandy beaches. The town of Kissamos, with its shops and beaches, is only 5 minutes away, and the beautiful Venetian city of Chania can be reached within 25 minutes. The house is ideally located for exploring west and south-west Crete.

The property is on two levels: the ground floor was built around 1985, and the first floor was added around 2000.

The ground floor has two entrances: one into the spacious wood-panelled kitchen, and another into the huge living room which has a working fireplace. There is a large family bathroom, and a main bedroom with timber floor, fitted wardrobe and balcony door to the rear of the property.

Outside, there is a garage with an additional vine-shaded parking space, a front garden and shaded courtyard, a large vine-shaded parking area, a shaded external kitchen with bread oven, sink and BBQ, and a spacious rear garden with fruit trees. The whole property is fenced or gated all around. To the rear of the house is a store room which contains the diesel central heating boiler, and a large covered store of corrugated steel (omitted from the house size) with a caged area previously used for livestock. To the front, external tiled steps lead up to the first floor.

The first floor comprises 3 spacious and well-lit bedrooms, each with timber ceilings and floors, fitted wardrobe and balcony door, and a large family bathroom. Outside, there are balconies all around with sea, mountain and rural views, and a large sea-facing terrace to the rear.

There is an additional 66m2 of building allowance for accommodation if the rear corrugated steel store is demolished. The ground floor has central heating and single-glazed timber doors and windows with shutters. The living room fireplace is plumbed to contribute additional heat to the central heating system. The first floor has timber and aluminium double-glazed doors / windows with shutters. The rear garden has ample space for a swimming pool if desired.

Today, some 40 years after initial construction, the decor seems dated and the property needs some repairs and full modernisation. For high-quality finishes, we estimate this will cost around €100,000 and this has been reflected in the price. We believe this is an excellent investment for such a large property with potential to extend, in an ideal location close to beaches and all amenities.
