The ground floor of the residence immediately presents an impressive void that creates a spatial and playful effect throughout the interior.

The floor is finished with underfloor heating, a neat floor covering, and smoothly plastered walls. Visible wooden beams and a decorative open fireplace add character and warmth to the living space. Underneath the staircase, a playfully arranged corner has been created, currently functioning as a play area but offering versatility for other purposes as well.

At the rear of the ground floor, the kitchen is located, which is fully equipped with various built-in appliances. The kitchen includes a Boretti oven and gas stove, an extractor hood, a dishwasher, and a refrigerator. From the kitchen, direct access is provided to the outdoor area at the back of the property.

The outdoor space consists of a side garden measuring 32 square meters, with dimensions of 8 meters in depth and 4 meters in width. The garden is oriented towards the south, which is favorable for sunlight exposure during the day. In the garden, a free-standing wooden storage shed is present, along with an additional smaller storage unit. These spaces are practical for storage purposes or can serve as a hobby area.

A staircase leads from the ground floor to a generous intermediate landing that connects the floors in an interesting manner. This transitional space adds to the unique character of the home's layout.

The first floor contains two spacious bedrooms and a large walk-in closet. This walk-in closet can relatively easily be converted into an additional bedroom if desired, which would increase the sleeping accommodation to five rooms. The first bathroom is also situated on this floor. Air conditioning has been installed on this level for climate comfort. The finishing on this floor is consistent with the ground floor, featuring plastered walls, visible wooden beams, and a neat floor covering.

The second floor of the residence has a distinct atmosphere due to the visible beam construction, which gives this level a warm and authentic appearance. On this floor, a spacious bedroom is present, also equipped with air conditioning. The second bathroom is located here as well and is fully equipped with all necessary facilities.
