Original en-suite doors with stained glass provide an atmospheric separation between the front and back rooms, enhancing the classic character of the home. Moving towards the rear, the space widens, presenting possibilities for realizing a large dining kitchen with a big dining table. French doors connect the interior seamlessly with the exterior, inviting the integration of the garden into the living space.

The French doors lead to the backyard. Although the garden is located on the north, its length ensures there are moments of both sun and shade throughout the day.

Returning inside, the staircase leads to the first floor, where the character of the home is again evident.

Additionally, there is a third, smaller bedroom at the rear with access to a balcony, suitable for starting the day quietly or relaxing. The bathroom is situated at the front and requires modernization to the new owner's taste, similar to the rest of the property.

A fixed staircase provides access to the attic floor. This spacious room currently accommodates one bedroom, but the layout offers significant potential. With relatively simple adjustments, two full-fledged rooms could be realized here. This makes the space ideal for a larger family, a home office, or a combination of guest and hobby rooms. The listing highlights that this is a home with character, space, and unlimited possibilities, ready to be transformed into a contemporary and personal residence.
