Rare opportunity to buy a truly authentic Hydra house that is very comfortable, in good working order but hasn't been over modernised so has retained it's original character and atmosphere. This gorgeous property for sale epitomises the fantasy that many people have for their dream Greek island home.

Some maintenance work is necessary (a few windows need replacing and some painting required) but otherwise the structure is very sound. The current owner is an avid gardener and so you will find hundreds of terracotta and ceramic garden pots/tubs which along with the furniture and fittings are included in the price.

The owner's personal belongings and many of the ornaments/books/paintings which have been collected over the years and have sentimental value will not be included. You can comfortably move in tomorrow and start your own collection of memories. The conservatory piano (which is in perfect condition) is available for purchase under separate negotiation so the buyer has the option to buy it or not. This property cannot be considered as merely 170sqm of real estate - instead it must be viewed as a genuine collectors item, a living gem to be cherished - a romantic, peaceful, inspirational oasis where you can fall in love, write a book, paint a masterpiece, make music. It is a place where you can enjoy living your dreams.
