Quiet Designer Home, 2BR, Sunset Balcony • Kypseli

Hidden in a peaceful green courtyard in the heart of vibrant Kypseli, this bright 70m² designer apartment offers something rare in central Athens: genuine quiet, birdsong and natural light. With two queen bedrooms, high-speed fibre Wi-Fi, a dedicated workspace, a large soaking tub and a private sunset balcony, it’s ideal for couples, families, friends or longer stays—all just steps from cafés, galleries, bakeries, local markets and two metro stations.

WELCOME HOME

Originally designed as a private home, this is a place to settle into rather than simply stay. Thoughtfully furnished over time with books, original artwork, vintage finds and carefully chosen design pieces, it has a warmth and character that feels personal rather than staged. Original terrazzo floors, marble details, natural wood and high ceilings create a calm, timeless interior inspired by the best of mid-century Athenian architecture.

Occupying a bright fifth-floor corner position with windows on three sides, the home is filled with natural light throughout the day. As evening falls, spectacular sunsets bathe the interiors in warm shades of gold, pink and orange, transforming the atmosphere of the apartment. The open-plan living area opens onto a private west-facing balcony with open views across the rooftops and treetops of Kypseli—a favourite place for morning coffee, reading or a glass of wine as the city slows down.

Whether you’re visiting Athens for a city break, remote work or a longer stay, you’ll find everything needed to feel at home: two queen bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, high-speed fibre Wi-Fi, a dedicated workspace and a spacious bathroom with a sculptural soaking tub.

THE NEIGHBOURHOOD:

Kypseli is one of Athens’ most vibrant and creative neighbourhoods, where elegant early 20th-century architecture meets an exciting new generation of independent cafés, bakeries, wine bars, restaurants, galleries and neighbourhood shops. It’s a place best explored on foot, offering a more authentic side of the city beyond the usual tourist routes. At the end of the street, the Acropolis comes into view, while Plaka, Monastiraki and the historic centre are all easily reached on foot or by metro.

One of the home’s greatest luxuries, however, is returning at the end of the day. Despite being moments from one of Athens’ liveliest neighbourhoods, the apartment remains remarkably peaceful. As the sun sets over the rooftops and warm evening light fills the rooms, the quiet courtyard offers a rare sense of calm in the heart of the city.

PERFECT FOR:

• Couples seeking a quieter, more authentic Athens experience
• Friends travelling together who appreciate two equal queen bedrooms
• Families with children looking for space, comfort and a fully equipped home
• Remote professionals and digital nomads, with high-speed fibre Wi-Fi and a dedicated workspace
• Longer stays, with everything needed to settle in comfortably
• Lovers of design, architecture, art and local neighbourhood life
