Asking price: 280,000 euros

A rare opportunity to purchase a large ground floor apartment of 90 square metres with garden in the centre of Corfu Town.

Located in a sought after area close to the tennis club, the property is found in a street adjoining Alexandras Avenue, and is three minute's walk from the central San Rocco Square; two minutes from the sea-front at Garitsa Bay; and five minutes from Spianada esplanade and the Liston. At the same distances are all the shops and facilities of Corfu's commercial and entertainment hub. Despite its proximity to the town centre the area is quiet.

The apartment is reached by a private gate from the street, through the garden and up a few steps. A covered veranda runs the length of the building. (Access to the upper floors is via a separate entrance.)

On entering the T-shaped hallway and turning right one finds the living room and adjoining dining room with windows (and security shutters) facing the garden and street.

To the left of the hallway is a bedroom. Again with a shuttered garden-side window.

The hallway now turns right. Here is an oil fired heater which warms the apartment in the winter. A little further on, opposite the dining room is the kitchen. This is unusually large, with striking green marble fascias. There is also a walk in larder.

Next to the first bedroom is the bathroom/WC. This contains a full length bath. There are three tall windows. These, together with similar windows in the kitchen, provide a cooling breeze in the summer months.

Opposite the bathroom is a small room currently used as a store room. This could easily be transformed into a study.

The final room, at the end of the hallway, is another bedroom. Like the front bedroom it has parquet flooring. The large windows look out from the rear of the building.

The garden, with its mature orange and lemon trees, could be transformed with a little work into a cool green oasis in the middle of the town. Alternatively half of it could be paved to provide off-street parking.

We would recommend this property for its exceptional location.
