Appreciating Assets are delighted to offer for sale this extremely spacious and fully-furnished 2-bedroom + 2-bathroom apartment with gorgeous sea views, located on the fifth floor of Block B in the highly desirable Garden of Eden resort in up-market St. Vlas, now on the market with an asking price of 115,000 euros.

Property Description

First and foremost this is one of the best holiday resorts along the Black Sea coast. Secondly, Sveti Vlas or St. Vlas is a truly stunning beach-side location. Thirdly, this particular property enjoys spectacular views of the sea as well as the surrounding area. Fourthly, this property is both spacious and fully-furnished to a very high standard and is in impeccable condition. Therefore this specific 2-bedroom apartment with very aesthetically pleasing wood-panelled balcony and matching wooden balustrade, has just about everything going for it and thus has tremendous appeal. The property interior is classically stylish yet thoroughly modern with wood-effect laminate flooring, brightly coloured walls (neutral magnolia shade), with lighter wooden internal doors and door frames, along with contrasting darker wooden dining furniture and even vintage-style pine bedroom furniture, ranging from free-standing sleek closets to bedside lockers, matching headboards and simple pine drawer cabinets. This apartment is furnished to a very high standard for a holiday home. Even the kitchen cabinets blend into the rest of the décor with the two-tone colouring matching both the walls as well as the floors and the rest of the apartment. Wood also adds a huge degree of warmth to the feel of a property, as well as being easy to clean and maintain. Another nice feature is the en-suite bathroom off the master bedroom with classic black n' white wall tiles and shower-tub where one can sit or stand. The main bathroom too is decorated in a similar style, but has a larger bathtub as well as large porcelain wash-hand basin plus vanity wall mirror. Having a second bathroom makes it very convenient for adults sharing or even for a small family as the occupants of the second bedroom can make use of the main bathroom, whilst the owners have their own personal en-suite facilities. Not many holiday apartments off this benefit. The master bedroom has a large double-bed plus all of the requisite bedroom furniture mentioned. The second bedroom is slightly smaller in size, as one would expect, but has two single beds (that could be combined as twins to make one king-sized bed) and this bedroom is also well furnished with double closet (with full-length vanity mirror) and even a nice wooden dressing table with matching cushioned stool and wooden framed wall mirror. Both bedrooms are accessed separately from the main living space. The living-cum-dining room is open plan and also contains the adjacent kitchen area. The kitchen is compact but very functional with large free-standing fridge-freezer, as well as stainless steel oven/hob and overhead extractor fan hood. The kitchen area is also part-recessed with a partial wall separating it from the rest of the main living room. As our recent photographs show there is a lovely wooden dining table with six matching wooden chairs with plain (off-white) soft cushions that match the cream leather-type sofa and armchair. The living room also has a sleek modern coffee table and of course a wooden TV stand. The balcony area is accessed from the TV/Living room via a smart wood-framed glass door beside which is a floor-to-ceiling glass double glazed window, thus providing an abundance of natural light when required, whilst the cream coloured drapes provide shade if the sunlight becomes too much. Above the sofa is one of the wall air-conditioning units, so plenty of cool air during doing balmy summer evenings when relaxing in front of the television. This is a superb property in fantastic condition and as the pictures show, there are also some nice wooden deck/patio chairs (stacked against the wall in the living room) that are intended for balcony use during the fine weather - for sunbathing, reading outside or even dining al fresco and enjoying the beautiful sea views.

St Vlas  is located at the foot of the southern slopes of the Balkan Mountains, in the northern part of Burgas Bay. A settlement was founded at the present place of St Vlas in the 2nd century AD by Thracians and Greeks, then called Larissa. It acquired the name St Vlas in the 14th century after Saint Blaise, a monastery dedicated to whom existed in the region, but was burnt down in the 14th-18th century by consecutive pirate raids. During the Ottoman rule of Bulgaria, it was known as Kücük manastir or simply Manastir ("monastery"), while the name St Vlas became official after 1886. Until 1920 the population of St Vlas was predominantly Greek. After 1920 as a result of the exchange of population between Greece and Bulgaria most of the local Greeks emigrated to Western Thrace (ceded to Greece in 1920) Greece and found their new home in the village of Strymi (until 1920 Chadarli), Sapes municipality. Less than 10 Greek families remained in St Vlas. After 1912 and especially after 1920 tens of Bulgarian families emigrated from Greece, predominantly from Greek Macedonia and established themselves in St Vlas. The settlement became a climatic sea resort in 1963 and a town on 2 February 2006. St Vlas is the only place on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast where the beaches are facing directly south.

St Vlas has grown as a very popular  tourist resort in recent times, serving as a quieter alternative to nearby Sunny Beach. The gap between the two places is shrinking as more hotels and holiday apartments are built along the coast. St Vlas lies at the northern end of a bay which has Sunny Beach in its middle and the ancient town of Nesebar at its southern end. Sunny Beach and Nesebar are easily accessible by bus or taxi, and there are also boats going between St Vlas and Nesebar.

The resort was mainly popular amongst inland Bulgarian tourists, but recently there is rapid growth in the number of foreign tourists, mainly from Russia, but also from  Poland, Romania and Scandinavia. Even though St Vlas was heavily developed in 2000's it remained pretty quiet and calm down place, making it good place to have a rest. Due to that fact the typical visitors in the resort are families with children.
