This house offers endless possibilities and therefore appeals to many. Families see this as the ultimate family home, with many spacious bedrooms where everyone has their own place, two bathrooms so the morning rush runs smoothly, and a deep, green backyard where children can play carelessly while the sun shines from morning to evening. The practical basement space and the large, newly built shed with back access offer all the storage space a family needs.

For those who work from home, this house is a true dream. Imagine a workspace with a view of the water, where the light flows beautifully inside and the tranquility of the singel ensures maximum concentration. One or more of the many rooms can easily be furnished as an inspiring home office, studio, or creative workspace. The architect-designed conservatory even offers the opportunity to relax in a light, serene space between work blocks. And after a day of working from home, the city with all its restaurants and cafés is ready for relaxation, or you simply walk to the backyard for a well-deserved break in the green.

What also makes this house so special are the original elements that have been carefully preserved over the years. From beautiful ornaments to authentic details, the house exudes allure and character. At the same time, it has been lovingly maintained in recent years, so the comfort of today goes hand in hand with the charm of yesteryear.
