This exceptional property enjoys a prime location just 500 metres from Syntagma Square and its metro station, which provides a direct connection between Athens International Airport and the port of Piraeus. Situated on one of Athens’ major and elegant avenues, the apartment lies on the doorstep of Plaka, the city’s historic neighbourhood, renowned for its charming tavernas, boutique shops, and remarkable archaeological sites.
The apartment is housed in an iconic 1932 interwar building designed by Greek architect Emmanuel Lazaridis, who also designed the Monument to the Unknown Soldier in Syntagma Square. Recognised for its outstanding architectural and historical significance, the building has been officially designated a historic monument ( diatiriteo) and listed in the Archive of Modern Monuments, owing both to its distinctive architectural character and its direct connection to the events of the December Uprising. Its façade retains authentic features that bear witness to the building’s rich history.
Occupying an elevated ground-floor position, the apartment offers a generous 135 m² of interior space. It is currently used as an office and comprises three rooms, one WC, one small kitchen and one bathroom. Original elements such as the beautiful wooden doors and floors have been kept whilst modern features have been added like double pain windows and fan coils.
The main living area is bathed in natural light, thanks to seven windows that surround the space. The apartment enjoys remarkable, unobstructed views of some of Athens’ most important landmarks, including the Temple of Olympian Zeus, Hadrian’s Arch, Ardittos Hill, Mount Hymettus, the Zappeion, and the National Garden.
An additional highlight is the building’s communal rooftop terrace, which offers panoramic views across the city. From here, one can admire Lycabettus Hill, Syntagma Square, the National Garden, the Panathenaic Stadium, Ardittos Hill, Mount Hymettus, Hadrian’s Arch, the Temple of Olympian Zeus, Philopappos Hill, and the Acropolis, with the sea visible on the distant horizon.
Combining a prestigious central location, generous proportions, abundant natural light, exceptional views, and the character of a historically significant building, this property presents a rare opportunity in the very heart of Athens.
