| What an incredibly unique feature! This house located in the heart of Girne, in the old Turkish quarter, is a part of history. The original house dating back to 1935 was originally built as a servant's quarters for another property, and was a traditional 4-bedroom dwelling. It benefits from a pre-1974 original British title deed. The hotel, which has been expanded into a 380 m² property spread over three floors, was recently renovated and expanded without any expenses spared by a British couple. The house has been successfully and tastefully restored, blending all the charm and elegance of a bygone era with the comfort and luxury of modern living. As you walk through the old streets, surrounded by white-washed buildings with wooden windows and shutters, you feel like you've gone back in time. The atmosphere is truly unique. You arrive at the house located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, facing wrought-iron gates and traditional double front doors leading to a veranda, not yet knowing what lies inside. Upon entering the property, you are welcomed into one of the traditional living rooms with a beautiful archway that now serves as a lounge. The floor features 1940s-style tiles. On the left, a cozy lounge area with stone floors exudes a warm and inviting atmosphere. On the right, another generously sized bedroom with stone floors, marble tiles, a freestanding bathtub, and a double shower completes a modern en-suite bathroom finished to high standards. Beyond the archway, you step into the dining area connected to a spacious and modern kitchen. A ceiling window enriches the room with extra natural light. The kitchen is high quality, custom-designed by Demirbağ, and features a breakfast island with Corian countertops. All appliances are stainless steel and integrated. The windows throughout the house are double glazed with a tilt-and-turn mechanism providing comfort and security. The house is equipped with an integrated electronic heating and cooling system. Underfloor heating has been installed in the master bedroom, en-suite bathroom, and the bathroom on the lower floor. A large heat pump in the utility room provides hot water similar to systems used in hotels. The 300-liter cylinder can operate even at temperatures as low as -25 degrees. The property is connected to mains water supply but also benefits from a 5-ton underground water tank. Additionally, the villa features a mix of ceramic and natural stone flooring, and mosquito nets on windows and doors. From the kitchen-dining area, you enter a spacious lounge with an Invicta log burner, spotlights, and integrated shelves. A full wall consisting of veranda doors opens up to a magnificent garden area with an L-shaped pool and a bar. Wooden stairs with glass and stainless steel railings lead to the first floor where you can find a large bedroom with an en-suite bathroom. The en-suite bathroom is entirely clad in marble and dark wood, featuring a double marble sink, a bathtub, and a shower. The bedroom has a central dividing wall where the bed is placed, allowing for easy access to walk-in closets. Two veranda doors open to a covered terrace offering views of the pool, garden, and St. Hilarion Castle, with ceramic wood-effect floor tiles underfoot. Additionally, there is a double sink material room, plenty of storage space, a toilet on the lower floor, and a door leading to the pool and garden area. The outdoor space is nothing short of an entertainer's paradise. Situated under a series of stunning stone arches completed with a wooden ceiling, the built-in bar and barbecue area not only provide shade but also create an inviting atmosphere enriched with thoughtfully placed lighting. Looking out from the entertainment area, you are greeted with a view of the L-shaped pool featuring a magnificent waterfall. The pool is lined with ceramic tiles and beautifully finished with travertine marble bullnose edges, adding an elegant touch. The travertine seamlessly continues from the house's terrace along the path surrounding the pool, guiding you with lush greens and white stones that enhance the tranquil and luxurious ambiance of this outdoor oasis. The property also boasts a spacious basement area with ceramic tiling, air conditioning, and automatic lighting, offering a versatile space that can serve multiple purposes. Furthermore, the upper level layout provides even more flexibility and accommodation options by potentially converting the property into a 4-bedroom home.
