Entering the property through the front door, you are welcomed into an entrance hall that provides access to a deep storage cupboard which can serve as a wardrobe or cloakroom. The meter cupboard is located here as well, housing a renewed electrical distribution board and a fiber optic connection for fast internet access. Adjacent to the entrance is a toilet room that is tiled halfway up the walls and equipped with a small sink.
The living room is arranged in a Z-shape and spans approximately 34 square meters. This configuration creates distinct areas within the room, allowing for flexible furniture arrangement. A hardwood staircase leads to the upper floor, adding a touch of character to the space. Large windows in both the front and rear facades ensure excellent natural light penetration throughout the day. The fireplace with an all-burner insert serves as a focal point and can provide additional warmth and ambiance during cooler months.
