The layout of the house is practical and spacious over three floors. Upon entering the ground floor, you are greeted by a hallway that provides access to the meter cupboard, a separate toilet, and a spacious staircase closet which offers excellent storage solutions. The living room is undoubtedly the heart of the home. It is royal in size, wonderfully light, and pleasantly wide. A double bay window at the front ensures a beautiful incidence of natural light, while the large windows offer a free and green view over the adjacent plantsoen. This creates a peaceful and pleasant atmosphere in the living area. The kitchen is separate and closed, yet neat and functional, equipped with various built-in appliances. From both the living room and the kitchen, you have direct access to the garden, making indoor and outdoor living seamless.

The outdoor space is a true asset to this property. The backyard is located on the South, meaning you can enjoy the sun throughout the entire day.

It is important to note that a non self occupancy clause applies to this property, meaning the current owner has not lived in the house themselves. This often implies that the property is sold as an investment or by heirs. The delivery date is in consultation, but the property can be transferred quickly. With a volume of 550 cubic meters and a built-up outdoor area of 6 square meters, the house offers a substantial amount of space. The specific dimensions of the backyard are 4.31 meters deep and 5.90 meters wide, providing a manageable yet enjoyable outdoor area. In summary, this is a fantastic light, spacious, and well maintained family home with a sunny backyard in the popular and very child friendly Bomenbuurt, waiting for a new owner to give it a modern touch.
