Description
A two-level residence with a private rooftop and open Mediterranean views, in the heart of one of the world’s oldest living cities.
Wake to the sound of the Mediterranean against the sea wall. This is a rare first-line-to-the-sea home in the heart of Old Acre (Akko), built centuries ago and painstakingly restored by craftsmen specializing in ancient stone, so that every vault, arch, and wall preserves its story while offering thoroughly modern comforts.
The home unfolds over two levels and a private rooftop:
Lower level: Entrance foyer, bedroom, kitchenette, en-suite shower, and WC.
Upper level: Light-filled living room, second bedroom, kitchenette, en-suite shower, and WC.
Rooftop: A private terrace overlooking the sea, perfect for morning coffee, sunsets over the water, and long evenings under the stars.
Inside, original stone vaults and graceful arches meet thoughtful design: hand-laid mosaic bathrooms that shimmer in the light, warm concealed lighting, encaustic tile floors, bespoke glazed partitions, and tall casement windows framing the honey-colored stone of the Old City. With each level featuring its own kitchenette and en-suite bathroom, the layout is equally suited as a private residence or a boutique guesthouse in one of Israel’s most visited heritage destinations.
A city like no other. Few places carry the spiritual significance of Acre. A UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the oldest continuously inhabited port cities in the world, its streets preserve the sacred heritage of four faiths. Just to the north lie Bahjí and the Shrine of Bahá'u'lláh, the holiest site in the Bahá’í Faith. Within the city walls stands the great Al-Jazzar Mosque, home to a relic believed to be a hair of the Prophet Muhammad. This is also the biblical city of Ptolemais from the New Testament, where the Apostle Paul came ashore, and the Crusader capital of Saint Jean d’Acre, with its vast underground halls. In Jewish tradition, Acre marks an ancient border of the Land of Israel, commemorated today by the Ramchal Synagogue and the remarkable mosaics of the Or Torah Synagogue. To live here is to wake each day surrounded by living history.
