A contemporary “hotel particulier” or private residence that is as unique in its location as it is superlative in its design.
It is directly embraced by the pine forest of Lycabettus Hill along its northern façade - a rare positioning that cannot be duplicated due to the unavailability of any other similar vacant land – yet it adjoins the bustling Kolonaki precinct on the other façade and offers sweeping city skyline and ocean views from the upper levels - having in the frontside a wonderfull city and sea view from the facade (free horizon energy in front)..
In association with one of leading Architects we re-interpreted the Moorish courtyard into an efficient, modern concept to meet the needs of today’s occupant;
The creation was the Zen Oasis – probably the only one of its type in the centre of Athens at the foot of Lycabettus forest.
The residential units configuration is as follows:
1. The Maisonette (Levels 1 and 2)
2. The Executive Apartment (Level 3) and
3. The Penthouse (Levels 4 and 5).
-The Maisonette
The 330(+60m2 office) square metre maisonette generously occupies the first two levels, linked by a wooden staircase. The spacious living room is on both levels with windows and balconies to the enclosed atrium and private, outdoor garden. On the second level, an opaque blue glass wall separates the dining area from the designer kitchen, fully fitted with Gagenau appliances. The master bedroom has an ensuite wardrobe and bathroom. It opens into the atrium’s Zen oasis, which is surrounded by wooden decking and which encloses a mosaic-tiled swimming pool. There are two additional bedrooms.
The maisonette’s flooring is premier quality oak timber throughout. The private garden gate gives direct access into the protected pine forest of Lycabettus Hill. An additional restroom and a storeroom complete the facilities.
-The Executive Apartment
This is situated on the third floor and covers an ample area of 160 square metres. An open plan living/ dining and fully-equipped kitchen space leads onto a sunny private terrace, while the master bedroom with en-suite bathroom looks onto the green slopes of Lycabettus.
Once again, the flooring throughout the apartment is premier oak timber and an additional restroom and storeroom add to the functionality and convenience of this single bedroom luxury apartment.
-The Penthouse
This lavish, one bedroom residence boasts views over the city of Athens and onto Lycabettus Hill that will simply take your breath away.
On the fourth floor is the penthouse living room with its balcony, offering a panoramic view of the city in the foreground, the Saronic Gulf in the background and as far away as the Island of Hydra in the distance. Light streams into the internal walkway that overlooks the atrium, the mosaic-tiled swimming pool and the Zen garden, as it leads you to the split-level master bedroom with en-suite bathroom. An elegant, circular internal staircase leads to the fifth floor: from the dining and kitchen areas, the view is that of a city at your feet.
The west exit on upper level opens onto a majestic roof garden that houses a barbeque, a sun deck partly shaded by sails, and a mosaic-tiled Jacuzzi looking onto the restful green of the hillside. The roof garden is the ultimate daily escape from the pressures of city living. It is also perfect for entertaining business guests, for delighting friends and family or for romantic dinners under the stars on balmy evenings.
The Building’s Amenities
Every detail has been considered and every need answered, from the fully equipped gymnasium and sauna/Hammam to the undercover garage and storage facilities. Please ask us for a full list of amenities later, as there are too many for inclusion in this overview presentation.
Three unique features of this property
- Unparalleled location and positioning are the Hoida Building’s most prideful boasts, as it directly borders the pine forest of Lycabettus Hill along its northern façade, yet touches on the inner city precinct of Kolonaki. Only few lots exist in the finest strip of land touching Lycabettus hill.
- This is an extremely rare opportunity for an entire building to be available for sale in this area. Total ownership brings with it an entirely different level of flexibility and investment leverage.
- The finished product bears all the hallmarks of innovative design and evokes the contemporary style of luxurious minimalism.
