The exterior paintwork is finished in a stylish anthracite color, contributing to a well maintained and polished look. The building conveys a sense of solidity and space from the outside.
The structural foundation of the property is sound. Both the ground floor and the first floor have concrete construction floors, which provides stability and reduces noise transmission between levels. The second floor, which serves as an attic storage space, has a wooden construction floor, which is typical for this type of home.
Entering through the covered entrance, you arrive in a hallway that provides access to the staircase leading to the first floor, a toilet room, and a passage to the kitchen. The kitchen is positioned at the rear of the property and is designed with an island setup that includes a bar area. This arrangement makes the kitchen a central gathering point in the home and allows for interaction while cooking. The placement at the back of the house also provides views of the garden and the water beyond.
The living room is situated at the front of the property, facing the street. This room benefits from numerous windows that allow natural light to enter, creating a bright and pleasant environment. The width of the property gives this space a roomy feel, making it suitable for various furniture arrangements including a sizable seating area and a large dining table. This layout makes the ground floor well suited for families, those who work from home, or anyone who values entertaining space.
From the kitchen, there is access to a utility room, which in turn connects to the garage internally. The garage is insulated and offers a versatile space. The listing suggests several potential uses for this area, including conversion to a ground floor bedroom with bathroom to accommodate age in place living requirements. Other possibilities mentioned include a home office, a hobby room, or even a small business space such as a salon or practice room. This flexibility adds to the long term adaptability of the property.
The first floor contains five bedrooms and one bathroom. This number of bedrooms provides ample accommodation for a large family, guests who stay overnight, or those who need dedicated workspaces. The attic is accessible via a loft ladder and serves as storage space for seasonal items and other belongings that are not needed on a daily basis.
The outdoor space is a significant feature of this property. The backyard is located directly adjacent to the water, providing views and a sense of tranquility despite the central village location. A garden room, or tuinkamer, has been constructed in the backyard. This outdoor structure is finished with a combination of wood and stone materials and includes a wood burning stove. These features raise the comfort level of this space to that of an indoor room, allowing it to be used throughout the year for relaxation and socializing while enjoying the view of the water.
