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 refined first-floor residence in nea erythraia, positioned close to the border with kifisia within a discreet complex of only four homes. spanning 240 sqm (2,583 sq ft), the apartment combines generous reception areas with unusually large outdoor spaces for an urban property, including a landscaped private garden of approximately 70 sqm and a broad marble-fronted balcony running along the façade beneath mature pine trees.
the interiors follow a more classical approach to contemporary athenian living, with warm oak flooring, elegant proportions, and reception rooms designed for both formal entertaining and everyday family life. the principal living and dining spaces unfold in sequence, connected by wide openings that allow natural light to move easily throughout the apartment during the day. a fireplace anchors the main sitting area, while full-height openings connect directly to the terrace, extending the living spaces outdoors.
the kitchen introduces a softer palette, with sage-green cabinetry, pale stone surfaces, and informal dining space positioned beside large windows overlooking the greenery outside. throughout the property, the atmosphere feels calm and residential rather than overly formal, supported by natural materials and balanced proportions.
the bedroom wing is arranged separately for privacy. the principal suite includes a walk-in wardrobe and en-suite bathroom finished in light marble tones, while two additional bedrooms share a second bathroom. one of the secondary bedrooms opens onto its own smaller balcony and private garden area, creating a quieter outdoor retreat within the apartment.
the outdoor spaces give the property a more house-like character uncommon for the area. deep balconies shaded by surrounding trees create usable exterior living areas through much of the year, while the private garden adds further privacy and greenery to the residence. a book left open on the terrace beside the late afternoon light would not feel out of place here.
additional features include private parking, storage, air conditioning, elevator access, alarm system, fireplace, and dedicated office space.
located in one of northern athens’ most established residential districts, the apartment sits close to the boutiques, cafés, schools, and parks of both nea erythraia and kifisia, while maintaining a quieter residential atmosphere.
