Upon entering the property, the historical character of the home becomes immediately apparent. The entrance features an original terrazzo floor that sets the tone for the rest of the interior. This entrance area also presents the possibility of installing a toilet if desired. Through the hallway, also fitted with terrazzo flooring, one reaches the modern meter cupboard and a practical cellar that provides excellent additional storage space.
The ground floor of the main residence is characterized by a beautiful en-suite living room where authentic period elements have been tastefully preserved. The front room boasts a decorative fireplace, built-in cupboards, and attractive en-suite sliding doors with stained glass panels, all contributing to a warm and characterful ambiance. The dining room at the rear equally features a decorative fireplace and built-in cabinets, creating an inviting space for extended meals and gatherings. Sliding doors connect the dining room to a garden room, which is a pleasant and light-filled space with double doors opening directly onto the backyard. The high ceilings with ornamental moldings throughout the ground floor reinforce the sense of spaciousness and give the property its distinctive pre-war charm.
The open kitchen has been practically arranged and offers ample storage capacity along with various built-in appliances. These include a four-burner gas cooktop, an extractor hood, a combination oven, and a refrigerator. Adjacent to the kitchen, a hallway provides access to the first bathroom on this level. This bathroom has been finished with light-colored tiles and is comprehensively equipped with a shower enclosure, a vanity unit with washbasin, a toilet, a designer radiator, and a connection point for a washing machine.
The first floor of the main residence offers a surprising amount of space and flexibility. The landing with a built-in cupboard provides access to three generously proportioned bedrooms. One of these bedrooms features a door leading to a large roof terrace, which serves as a wonderful spot to enjoy the outdoors in privacy. Furthermore, there is a fixed cupboard housing the central heating boiler installation, and one of the bedrooms is equipped with a roller shutter. A fourth room on this floor has been furnished with a pantry unit, offering additional possibilities for use. The second bathroom on this level has also been finished with light tiles and comes with a vanity unit, a toilet, a shower, a designer radiator, and a washing machine connection.
The property benefits from a deep backyard facing east, which has been paved and includes a simple wooden storage shed as well as a second, very spacious storage building. Via the rear section of the garden, one can access an additional part of the outdoor space with a back entrance, providing considerable practical utility and ease of use.
The back house, referred to in Dutch as a kangoeroewoning, adds significant versatility to this property. On the ground floor of this annex, there is a room with a light tile floor and a pantry unit, along with its own bathroom featuring a vanity unit, a walk-in shower, and a designer radiator. On the first floor of the back house, there is an attic space with a dormer window and a washing machine connection. This entire section makes the back house highly suitable for use as a separate living space for elderly parents or adult children, as a guest accommodation, a practice room, or a home office.
Throughout the entire property, various authentic elements have been carefully preserved, including panel doors, terrazzo floors, and en-suite sliding doors with stained glass, all contributing to a unique and atmospheric appearance. At the same time, the home offers contemporary comfort, partly due to the presence of plastic window frames with insulating glazing.
