A notable feature of this property is the separate practice space located at split level at the front of the house. This area has its own entrance, a spacious hallway, and two large rooms.

The garden surrounding the property offers significant privacy and a modern appearance. It was designed under architectural supervision and is excellently maintained. The garden is oriented to the southwest, allowing you to find a sunny spot or a cool area depending on your preference throughout the day. Despite its size, the garden is low maintenance and easy to manage. It remains largely green even during winter months. Privacy was a key consideration during the garden design, achieved through green fencing and strategic planting. A covered terrace adjacent to the house allows for outdoor seating early in the season. The front garden is also attractively laid out with planted borders.

The property includes an underground parking garage with an electrically operated sectional door. A large driveway provides space for multiple vehicles. A wooden garden shed offers convenient storage for bicycles and provides access to the rear of the property.
