In 1914, the current brick building was constructed, featuring two side windows and a central double-door entrance, later replaced by a three-part garage door and separate entry. The property remained in use as a blacksmith's workshop until the end of 1992. The horse-post remained outside until recently, removed during street renovation. The original house was approx. 14 meters deep, with a rear plot and an outhouse suspended above the canal. Around 1960, a 25-meter-deep rear workshop was added. The home is freestanding, with a charming connection to the neighboring structure on one side, and a gate with walkway on the other. There's also a private access to the garden at the rear. ________________________________________ Interested?
