Maisonette Building

The Maisonette Building is a modern marble mansion at the junction of Athanasiadou and Tsakona streets in Penteli, on the northern edge of Athens. Its polished stone facade places it firmly in the region's long building tradition, where Mount Penteli's famous marble has been quarried since antiquity. The broader area rewards curiosity: excavations at the Ekali Cave on the mountain's slopes, reported in 2012, revealed use across the Early and Final Neolithic periods and later Roman and Byzantine times, with artifacts to match. Together they trace thousands of years of habitation beneath the modern suburbs.
