There was only one entrance to the house from the road. Though this is a farm house, its plan is probably similar to that of many prosperous houses in Athens. I have visited the area with a friend who has a two-story modern house there. The best preserved Athenian house was found in the Attic countryside near the modern town of Vari, a few miles to the southwest of Athens. Somewhat paradoxically, it was not until the fourth century B.C: when Athens' economy was declining that houses began to be constructed in a more luxuriously style.
