Matteo Atenas, Attiki Grécia

Set within one of Filothei’s most discreet residential enclaves, this three-level maisonette combines contemporary architecture with the quiet character that defines Athens’ northern suburbs. Designed to follow the natural slope of the terrain, the residence unfolds across 413 sqm (4,445 sq.ft.), balancing generous interior volumes with landscaped outdoor spaces, private terraces and a strong connection to natural light throughout the day.

The architecture is defined by long horizontal lines, pale stone surfaces and broad openings that frame views across mature greenery toward the city beyond. Deep terraces and overhangs provide shade during the warmer months while allowing the interiors to remain bright and naturally cool. The restrained material palette gives the residence a calm and timeless atmosphere.

Arrival is intentionally private. A dedicated entrance and vehicle lift from the underground parking area create a seamless transition into the home, while an internal elevator connects all three levels. The residence includes three parking spaces along with substantial storage and auxiliary areas, allowing the practical elements of daily life to remain discreetly integrated.

The principal living areas are arranged around openness and continuity. Double-height ceilings and full-width glazing allow the main reception spaces to extend directly toward the outdoor terraces and private pool, softening the boundary between interior and exterior living. Pale wood finishes, natural stone textures and carefully filtered light create warmth throughout the contemporary interiors. Large sliding panels draw the landscape inward, while the elevated position gives the main level both privacy and long views across the surrounding neighbourhood.

The kitchen and dining areas form part of the overall living environment rather than separate formal rooms. Integrated cabinetry, clean architectural detailing and understated finishes maintain visual calm throughout the interiors. From the dining terrace, the eye moves across planted gardens, cypress trees and distant city views, particularly striking in the softer light of late afternoon.

The residence contains five bedrooms and five bathrooms, with the upper level dedicated primarily to private family accommodation. The principal suite opens onto its own terrace overlooking the landscaped surroundings, while the remaining bedrooms continue the same restrained design language seen throughout the house. Bathrooms combine stone, timber and muted finishes to create spaces that feel functional and serene.

A lower ground level introduces additional wellness and lifestyle areas including a gym, playroom, guest accommodation, staff quarters and auxiliary rooms. Natural light has been carefully incorporated through courtyards and strategic openings, preventing the level from feeling enclosed despite its more private function.

Outside, landscaped gardens soften the architecture with Mediterranean planting and structured greenery that provide privacy without obstructing light. The private pool sits alongside expansive terraces designed for both quiet daily use and larger-scale outdoor living. Wide openings from the interior create an easy flow between shaded seating areas, dining spaces and the water itself.

Filothei remains one of Athens’ most established residential districts, valued for its low-density character, mature trees and proximity to leading schools, embassies and central Athens. Despite its accessibility, the area retains a notably peaceful atmosphere, removed from the pace of the city below.
