A restored traditional house, sold fully furnished with Cypriot antiques, in a charming village near Nicosia, with a separate external building that can serve as a home office, extra bedroom, or maid’s room. This property is eligible for government subsidies that cover up to 50% of the cost of any further renovations or changes.
Built of traditional stone and adobe with indoor space of 230 square metres, the house has 2/3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, with the possibility of a second bath. The plot of 314 square metres includes an established garden with mature fruit trees and many flowers, and features sweeping views of the village and the mountains beyond.
The house is inside the historic centre of the village, only 30 minutes from Nicosia and within walking distance of Mahairas forest. Kapedes has a popular restaurant on the edge of the village, 2 coffeeshops and a grocery store. It is also close to historical monasteries as well as the ancient site of Tamassos.
There are two bedrooms on the upper level, including a master bedroom with a balcony featuring views of the village and mountains. A third bedroom and/or an additional bathroom could be added in the spacious open area currently used as a study. A large bathroom with a sunken bath is downstairs.
The house features two living rooms: a lovely covered arched patio that faces the garden leads to a very large room with a fireplace and traditional archway, and there is a second cosy room with stone walls and a cast iron fireplace.
The kitchen includes a dining area and is equipped with a cooker, oven and fridge.
An external stone-built room with loft in the garden has electricity and could be used as a home office, extra bedroom, or maid’s room.
The selling price includes unique antique Cypriot furniture lovingly collected over many decades, allowing the new owners to move in immediately.

· 50% of the cost of any new renovations/changes
