Heading north from Athens Centre along Kifissias Avenue, we encounter a series of affluent districts each one with its own distinctive identity.
Psychiko and Filothei suburbs developed during the 1920s for the Athenian aristocracy of the time have been influenced by the architectural style of English garden cities. No wonder why many of the streets here are named after flowers. Besides hosting a significant number of foreign embassies they are also known for their elite private schools: Arsakeio Tositseio School, Moraitis School and Athens College.
Further north Kifisia, Kastri, Kefalari, Ekali, Dionysos and Politia are all idyllic districts developed amongst vast city parks that one feels being in the mountains. As they are slightly elevated from the sea level and in close proximity to the countryside the air is much cleaner and cooler. Their centres are buzzing around vibrant cafes, elegant restaurants and sophisticated boutique shopping malls.
Goulandris Natural History Museum founded in 1964 and villa Kazouli are two of Kifissia’s landmarks housed in imposing neoclassical building. Kifissia’s Park, a unique space that was created in 1885 and features sky-tall trees, wonderful design, a café and playground.
For passionate tennis players, two of Greece’s elite private clubs are based in the northern suburbs. Ekali club and Tatoi club that offers a variety of wellness services and top-class restaurants to their members.
Stunning classical architecture and regal furnishings set Utopia apart. Located in the exclusive northern suburb of Athens this residence offers spacious living with refined elegance.
Spread over three levels and 1,488 square metres are majestic and beautifully furnished living quarters.
A take-your-breath-away white marble circular staircase leads up to the first level. From there one can admire a beautiful wall tapestry reminiscent of the Parisian Gobelin style.
Natural light cascades into the room through a stunning sky light. Classical color themes including burgundy, seafoam blue, soft cream, and light green carry throughout the mansion. Arched glass doorways and windows, plush period furnishing and rich wood paneling are some of the decorative elements evoking an aristocratic feel. There is plenty of space to relax and entertain, be it by the fireplace in the sitting room or library or in the living and dining rooms.
On the upper two levels there are eleven airy and spacious bedrooms each tastefully decorated. Just below the main level beautifully hand painted walls depicting landscapes decorate the game room and home theater. A fitness room and sauna are also located on this level.
An auxiliary area comprising 904 square meters houses the garage, storage room and security center. The buyer should note that it is possible to build an extra building of 700 square meters on the property.
Located in Ekali, Utopia is within close proximity to upscale shopping centers, fine dining, art galleries, private country clubs and private international schools.
