Maleme, Crete 73014

A house with the most spectacular view in Maleme. This detached house in one of the most gifted areas of the Platanias region, sits right above the village of Maleme where dozens of new villas have recently been built. If one considers the view of the whole bay of Chania and the proximity to the coast, to the bustling resorts of the touristy north coast of Platanias, Gerani and Kolymvari then one easily understands why. The area is just 15 to 20 minutes from the center of Chania, it is graced with lengthy sandy beaches, all sorts of restaurants, hotels, bars, just about everything one needs. The house itself sits on a private plot of 1,245 sqm. It is a two-level construction with the upper level being a fully functional house of 83,48 sqm and the lower level of 65 sqm working as a sheltered garage today. The upper level is arranged into an open space of kitchen, living and dining room, two bedrooms and one bathroom. It is graced with a wrap-around terrace that surrounds the whole house, offering ample space to enjoy the breathtaking sea views. All sides of the house have large windows / window doors so that the striking view of the sea is visible at all times from all angles of the interior. Overall the house does need a renovation but offers amazing prospects especially if one considers the view and the location, especially as a short-term rental. One can easily turn the ground level into a second, independent apartment, the roof top terrace and the views from it are simply spectacular and one can easily make use of it with a pergola on top. There is ample space inside the plot for a swimming pool, that will be surrounded by well-developed olive trees. The house also features aluminum frames, central heating with an oil boiler and radiators to all rooms and solar heating for its water. Overall a great investment property.
