Upon entering the property through the deep entrance hall, you reach the staircase leading to the first floor and the living room. The living room is designed as a through-living room, meaning it spans the full depth of the house with large windows at both the front and rear, allowing plenty of natural light to enter throughout the day. The walls are finished with smooth plasterwork, and the floor features a stylish oak hardwood floor. At the rear of the living room, French doors open directly onto the backyard, creating a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living spaces.

The open corner kitchen connects directly to the living room and is equipped with various built-in appliances. These include a gas hob, a combination oven, a dishwasher, an extractor hood, and a sink. The kitchen offers ample storage space with numerous upper and lower cabinets. Furthermore, there is a cellar accessible from the kitchen area, providing additional storage options for groceries and household items.

Adjacent to the kitchen is a practical utility room that serves as a laundry area. This space provides convenient access for washing machines and dryers, keeping these appliances out of the main living areas. Also located on the ground floor is the bathroom, which has been neatly finished and features a walk-in shower, a floating toilet, and a washbasin with a vanity unit. Having the bathroom on the ground floor is a practical layout choice that can be convenient for residents and visitors alike.

The first floor contains two spacious bedrooms, which were originally configured as three rooms. Both bedrooms have been finished with laminate flooring, plastered walls, and built-in closets that offer useful storage space for clothing and personal belongings. A steep staircase leads from the first floor to the second floor.

The second floor consists of the attic space, which is surprisingly spacious given the size of the house. The ridge height is excellent, meaning there is considerable headroom in the center of the space. This area presents an excellent opportunity to create an additional bedroom or hobby room, for example by installing a dormer window at the front or rear. The attic currently has a skylight installed, bringing some natural light into the space, and a TV cable connection is present.

One of the standout features of this property is the deep and low-maintenance backyard. Measuring 56 square meters, the garden extends 12.46 meters in depth with a width of 4.51 meters. The garden is positioned on the north side of the property. At the rear of the garden stands a freestestone storage building that has electricity connected. This storage building has an additional upper level, making it suitable for storing larger items or even serving as a small hobby space. From the storage building, you can access the wide back passage, which is notably broad enough to accommodate a motorcycle, providing convenient rear access to the property.

In terms of parking, the property is located in an area with paid parking, public parking spaces, and the possibility of obtaining parking permits.
