Set within the coastal town of Nea Artaki in Chalkida, just 50 metres from the waterfront, this contemporary residence combines generous internal volumes with uninterrupted views across the Evoikos Gulf. Built as a private summer home in 2007, the property has been carefully maintained and designed around natural light, sea outlooks and the easy rhythm of coastal living.

The house extends across 430 sqm (4,628 sq.ft.) on a 426 sqm plot, with clean architectural lines softened by landscaped gardens, timber decking and shaded outdoor sitting areas. Its elevated positioning allows the principal rooms and terraces to look directly toward the water, while large openings and corner glazing draw daylight deep into the interiors throughout the day.

Arrival is through a double-height entrance hall where a sculptural staircase and full-height glass panels establish the sense of openness that continues across the house. The main reception areas unfold in a series of interconnected living and dining spaces, finished in pale wood flooring and neutral tones that reflect the changing light from outside. A fireplace anchors the principal sitting room, while broad sliding doors connect the interiors directly to the terraces, garden and pool.

The kitchen sits adjacent to the dining area and is designed for both daily use and larger seasonal stays, with extensive preparation surfaces, integrated appliances and direct access to the outdoor barbecue and dining spaces. Throughout the house, the layout balances openness with privacy, allowing the living areas to remain visually connected to the sea while the bedroom suites feel more secluded.

The residence includes four bedrooms, each with its own en suite bathroom. Several bedrooms open onto private terraces overlooking the coastline, while the upper levels maintain clear views toward the sea and the changing evening light over the gulf. An attic level currently functions as an office and study area, benefiting from additional natural light and quieter separation from the main living spaces.

Outdoors, the property is arranged around a long swimming pool bordered by timber decking and narrow strips of lawn. Covered terraces create shaded seating and dining areas facing the water, while the dedicated 46 sqm barbecue area extends the outdoor living spaces for the warmer months. The proximity to the coastline allows the sea air to move naturally through the terraces and interiors, particularly during the evening hours.

Additional practical spaces include linen and laundry rooms, storage areas, a plant room, underfloor heating, alarm system and private parking.

Despite its immediate relationship with the sea, the house remains within easy reach of central Chalkida and mainland connections to Athens, making it suitable both as a permanent residence and as a coastal retreat throughout the year.

As the sun lowers behind the coastline, the terraces and pool begin to reflect the changing colours of the water, while the lights across the gulf gradually appear beyond the garden walls.
