The garden includes storage space and offers numerous possibilities for landscaping, including the installation of a canopy or outdoor living area. Additionally, there is a balcony on the upper floor, which lends itself excellently to a generous master bedroom with French doors opening to the outside. An additional lounge or sitting room on this level is also among the possibilities, as sufficient bedrooms would remain on the other floors.
