Pangrati, Caravel apartment for sale, total area 96 sqm, on the 3rd floor of a building constructed in the early '50s. Upon hearing the construction date, one might immediately think of its age. Justifiably so. However, every coin has two sides. The apartment complex, built in the mid-20th century, possesses all the aristocratic features of the golden era of architecture. It stands as a classic example of modernism with Art Nouveau elements both in its facade and common areas. Observing it from a distance, modern Athenians become acquainted with an old Athens that has almost disappeared, yet scattered elements emerge like beacons in the urban fabric. The aristocratic entrance, the beautiful staircase, the large balconies on each floor, and the ornate features portray the grandeur sought by enthusiasts of classical architecture in their new residence. The 1950s. The new owners have just entered the apartment they purchased in the area that would later be named Caravel. On the walls, the wallpaper chosen by the lady, with oak parquet and mosaic floors, marble in the bathroom and kitchen, and wardrobes adorned with elaborate designs, as preferred by the gentleman. The living room resonates with Verdi's La Traviata, while the aroma of the evening meal wafts in from the kitchen. Confronted with this exact image, a visitor steps into a time capsule transporting them to the urban class of post-war Athens, with only the dusty furniture and absence of its owners distinguishing it. Its significant positive aspect? All spaces arranged precisely where they should be. Opening the door reveals the vestibule providing access to both the day and night areas. Straight ahead is the living room with a large window facing the facade, the dining room to its left, and at the rear, the kitchen overlooking the uncovered space. For practicality, proximity to the dining area was self-evident. To the right of the vestibule is the door leading to the hallway connecting the master bedroom, the corner bedroom with its balcony facing the facade and the beautiful view, and the secondary bedroom at the rear with a window on the side and the bathroom in between. Optimal use of the entire space, correct orientation, impeccable layout. And when one adds its exceptional location, just 600m from Evangelismos metro, it becomes evident that it is an outstanding case. In any other circumstance, one might say that its only drawback is the need for a radical renovation. A not easily overlooked expense for a property of almost 100 sqm where not the slightest detail has changed since its construction. However, in this particular case, a second thought suggesting that the new owner should perhaps renovate with respect to the existing condition makes us consider that the fact it has been maintained in excellent condition, proportionately, for seven decades turns the renovation process into not such a major default but rather a creative endeavor. Perhaps its only negative is the noise from the busy street it faces, yet a minor inconvenience for someone choosing to reside in a Pangrati masterpiece.
