Strawberry House in Kinopiastes
This absolutely stunning village house features many details characteristic of Venetian architecture, like the rare stone shelves below the windows. Colour-washed a lovely strawberry colour, delicately faded, the house faces a pretty little garden with flowerbeds and space for sitting out. It is located close to the village square, with two of the island’s best tavernas a few steps away. Three more tavernas are within walking distance, offering a huge variety of different food almost on the doorstep. The village has excellent facilities, among them no less than nine coffee bars! Plus shops for basic requirements, and an excellent bus service. On two floors, the house is in very good structural shape, and the roof appears sound. A new concrete floor has been laid. Renovation is required only internally. The lower and the upper floors each consist of a single space, linked by a wooden internal staircase. Because the upper level has windows on two sides and is light and airy, it is tempting to employ an upside-down arrangement, with the bedroom and bathroom downstairs and an open-plan kitchen and living room upstairs. Since the property has two front doors (one leading into the ground floor and the other opening directly to the stairs) it is easy to create direct access to the living area without having to enter the bedroom . Most internal fittings, such as floorboards and windows, are in excellent condition and can remain in situ or be restored for reuse, minimizing renovation costs. A DIY expert could undertake much of the work. An old kitchen with fireplace stands at the foot of the garden. We suggest removal of its roof to make an outdoor BBQ area, walled off from passers by. A freestanding WC in the garden should be demolished to give more space. The plumbing can easily be linked with the central drainage system so no septic tank is required. A little gem crying out for a caring owner!
