PEACEFUL RESIDENCE: The house sits on the shore like a bird pausing in flight. A rarity in Greece, it is located only 10 meters from the water. Offering an interior of 165 square meters, approximately 1,776 square feet, it is based on an older island home and was completely renovated in 2000. The elemental, unfussy Cycladic design features large spaces connected by high rounded arches. Rooms include a very spacious central salon and dining area, a deluxe kitchen, two bedrooms with en suite bathrooms, and a guest bathroom. The floors and bathrooms are made of fine, subtly colored brushed marble from Naxos. Unique sinks carved from marble pieces are a special feature. All technical elements of the residence including the roof, doors, windows, electricity, plumbing and heating are new. Stereo sound, video, and Internet wiring have been installed throughout. The house thus combines the charm of a traditional island home with the comforts of a new one. It is offered fully furnished and equipped. All of the furniture was hand-built to order for this residence. In front of the garden wall is a small secluded beach, and a larger beach with a seaside taverna is easily accessible.

DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL: The land area of 12,051 square meters, almost three acres, is divided into two parcels. The parcel on the sea measuring 2,757 square meters holds the existing house and has a shoreline of more than 175 meters. Directly behind it is the second parcel of 9,294 square meters, nearly 2.3 acres, of clear land, which offers the possibility of constructing a new private villa of about 300 square meters, approximately 3,229 square feet, or an eventual higher-density touristic development.

CONVENIENT LOCATION: The airport may be reached by car in less than 10 minutes. The property is within walking distance of the historic harbor town of Paroikia, which is built around an old Venetian castle. From here, frequent ferry boats and hydrofoils link Paros to other nearby islands and to Athens. The picturesque port area with its intricate maze of pedestrian-only streets provides a full range of boutiques, restaurants, and nightlife. The island hosts an active resident population of Greek and international artists, and many cultural events are on offer throughout the year.
