Who was looking for a house to buy in Athens? A few weeks ago someone posted a question about buying a house in Athens, Greece. I have a friend there who has a home in the heart of the city, literally a few steps from the Marble Stadium, across the street from Zappio Gardens and a 5 minute wald through the gardens to the Syntagma metro station which connects all three lines. This is a home, not an apartment. It has a garden and a rooftop garden. It also has space for parking inside the gate. It's on a very quiet, one-way street. Contact me if you are interested. I'll send you his phone number. He speaks Greek, English, and French. I don't know how much they are asking for the house, but they could vacate within days, I'm sure. The house will need some work, but I'd buy it if I had the money. You really couldn't ask for a better location, and it is probably one of the last homes, not apartments, in central Athens. I haven't seen it in over 4 years. I've spoken to my friend. He said he's asking 850,000 Euro. The house sits on 155 sq. meters of land and has about 135 sq meters of interior space. It is two stories with access. It is totally private, no shared entrance, no shared facilities. It is a single-family dwelling, but it could easily be converted into a restaurant with inside and garden seating downstairs, and an 80 sq meter apartment upstairs. I can't express how much I would like to buy this myself, but no way could I afford it at this point in my life.
