2 Bed, 2 bath bungalow with roof terrace in Armeni Crete

Description

Entrance to this delightful, renovated property is via a pedestrian gate into the entrance courtyard. There is a further side gate from this courtyard leading the way past the side of the house to the rear, Al-fresco courtyard and outdoor, 2nd bathroom and storage room.

This sweet traditional bungalow has been lovingly renovated by the current owners and is located in a quiet village road within walking distance to village amenities, mini market, renowned Butcher, year-round tavernas/restaurants and coffee shops.

The traditional village of Armeni is less than 5 minutes drive to the larger, seaside village of Kalives where one will find Restaurants & coffee shops, English-speaking doctors, dentist, a laboratory, beauty salons, lawyers, book-keepers, 2 pharmacies, 2 banks, a post office, 3 bakeries/patisseries, 2 butchers, 2 gas stations, school, lawyers, hairdressers, super & mini markets and all further shopping amenities as well as an English-speaking Community Centre, (KEP). There are also two large sandy beaches, East and West, with many tavernas & coffee shops lacing the beaches.

There are daily buses passing through Armeni village to and from Chania city and other neighbouring villages, including Kalives.

The house comprises a spacious living room, a fully fitted kitchen/dining and two bedrooms and modern shower room. The kitchen has a traditional arch over the washing-up area with a window to the rear courtyard. A few steps take one up from the kitchen porch to the private courtyard which is the ideal spot for Al-fresco dining and entertaining. There is an out-building with a further shower room housing the washing machine and also a spacious storage room which would possibly house a future boiler for central heating. Steps rise from the rear courtyard to the spacious roof terrace with covered pergola and seating area. Unobstructed White Mountain and village views are enjoyed from this vantage point. The covered pergola offers shade during the warmer time of day, and is the perfect venue for sitting out on Summer evenings and watching the sunset and enjoying the serene views.

The house is plumbed for central heating and has been fitted with the plumbing as well as central heating wall units, ready for just the boiler to be installed and connected.

The owners have recently refurbished the house by adding a new aluminium kitchen door & window and an aluminium bathroom window.

Being centrally located in the village, this will make the ideal permanent, long term retirement home for those who need one-level living within close walking distance to all amenities and bus stop. The proximity to the sea also makes this property perfectly suited as an affordable, lock-up-and-go holiday home.
