The property is available for transfer through negotiation, and the transaction will be on a costs koper basis, meaning the buyer is responsible for transfer taxes and notary fees.
The home is set on a generous plot measuring 540 square meters, offering a garden that surrounds the entire property. A notable feature of the outdoor space is the unobstructed view across the adjacent meadowlands at the rear of the dwelling. The covered terrace extends across the full width of the residence, providing an outdoor living area that takes advantage of this pastoral vista. Additional structures in the garden include a dovecote, a chicken coop, and a gazebo, which contribute to the rural character of the property.
The total living area amounts to 269 square meters, distributed across two main living levels plus an attic space. The building has a volume of 1,160 cubic meters. In addition to the main living quarters, there is 26 square meters of indoor auxiliary space, 37 square meters of attached outdoor space, and a separate 20 square meter storage facility. Parking is available on the property itself as well as on the public road.
Access to the home is through an entrance hall featuring a void that extends upward, a tiled floor, and a practical coat closet. The electrical installation consists of a two by four circuit breaker panel equipped with an earth leakage switch. This setup may require updating to meet contemporary electrical demands.
The ground floor comprises an L-shaped living room characterized by a hardwood floor and two authentic fireplace mantels with period stoves. These fireplaces serve as focal points within the space and contribute to the historic atmosphere of the interior. The half-open kitchen dates from 1989 and features an oak built-in installation with various integrated appliances and a fixed pantry cupboard. Adjacent to the kitchen is a utility room with a tiled floor and connections for laundry appliances.
From the utility room, one accesses a garden room that also has a tiled floor and includes a built-in seating and storage bench. This room provides a view of the garden and the covered terrace. A connecting passage leads from the kitchen area to a spacious toilet room and a large hobby room. The hobby room provides internal access to the attached garage, which has an automatic door, electrical connections, and running water. A fixed staircase in the hobby room leads to the attic above the extension.
The first floor is reached via a hardwood staircase that opens onto the void and a spacious landing. On this level there are two bedrooms and a storage area. The master bedroom is of a size that would allow for straightforward division into two separate rooms, which would bring the total bedroom count to three if desired. The bathroom is finished with marble and includes a bathtub, a shower, a bidet, a second toilet, and a double vanity unit with mirror and lighting.
The property has an energy label rating of F. Insulation measures that have been implemented include partial roof insulation and partial double glazing. Some windows are fitted with shutters. The heating system consists of a gas-fired combi boiler manufactured by Top Line HRC, installed in 2011, which is owned by the current sellers.
