Kifissia, the undoubted centre of Athens′ northern suburbs is the city′s main upper-class district known for its elegant mansions, extensive parks, foreign schools, gastronomy scene and relaxed lifestyle.
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.
maestro is a first-floor residence in nea erythraia, positioned close to the boundary with kifisia within a discreet development of only four homes. extending across 240 sqm (2,583 sq.ft.), the apartment combines generous interior proportions with outdoor spaces that are rarely found in an urban setting, creating a residence that feels notably private and connected to its surroundings.
the interiors are organised around a sequence of reception spaces that unfold naturally from one room to the next, allowing daylight to move through the apartment throughout the day. warm oak flooring, balanced proportions and carefully considered openings create a calm and welcoming atmosphere, while full-height doors establish a direct relationship between the principal living areas and the terraces beyond. the overall character is residential and understated, with an emphasis on space, natural light and ease of living rather than formality.
the kitchen sits as an integral part of the home, benefiting from open views towards the surrounding greenery and a softer material palette that complements the wider interior architecture. throughout the residence, natural materials and restrained detailing create a sense of continuity between the different living spaces.
the private accommodation is arranged separately from the reception areas, reinforcing a clear distinction between entertaining and everyday living. the principal suite incorporates a dressing area and en-suite bathroom, while two additional bedrooms are served by a second bathroom. large openings bring natural light into each room, and several spaces maintain a direct connection to the outdoor areas, extending the sense of openness found throughout the apartment.
one of the defining characteristics of the property is the relationship between the interiors and the exterior spaces. deep terraces run along the façade, shaded by mature pine trees and providing usable outdoor living areas for much of the year. a private landscaped garden of approximately 70 sqm further enhances the residential character of the home, introducing an uncommon degree of greenery and privacy within this part of northern athens.
additional features include private parking, storage, air conditioning, elevator access, alarm system, fireplace and dedicated office space.
located within one of the capital’s most established residential districts, the apartment enjoys convenient access to the boutiques, cafés, schools and parks of both nea erythraia and kifisia, while retaining a quieter and more residential setting. the combination of generous proportions, mature surroundings and substantial outdoor areas creates a home that feels removed from the pace of the city while remaining closely connected to it.
