What a delightful 1930s home in a fantastic location in the beloved Ramplaankwartier neighborhood! This charming and well-maintained home combines the cozy atmosphere of the 1930s with a surprising amount of space and modern living comfort. The home has been expanded at the rear and on the side, creating a surprisingly spacious and bright living room. In addition, a full roof extension was completed about ten years ago, adding a full-fledged extra living floor. With two bedrooms on the first floor and plenty of possibilities on the top floor, this is a wonderful home that will easily adapt to your changing living needs. The entryway leads into the foyer, which features a meter cupboard, a restroom, a stairwell closet, and a practical built-in closet with connections for the washing machine and dryer. From the foyer, you walk into the living room, where the 1930s ambiance blends beautifully with modern living comfort. Here, living, cooking, and dining come together naturally. The kitchen can be closed off from the living room and offers plenty of cupboard space. It is equipped with an induction hob, oven and fridge-freezer combination. Both the living room and kitchen benefit from underfloor heating. Authentic details, such as the wooden window frames and characteristic sliding ensuite doors, further enhance the home's charm and atmosphere. French doors connect the living room seamlessly to the rear garden. Facing west, the garden is a wonderful place to enjoy the afternoon and evening sun. The garden was completely landscaped in 2020 and features a practical storage shed and rear access. On the first floor, a spacious landing provides access to two generously sized bedrooms and the bathroom. One bedroom is located at the front of the property and the other at the rear. Additional side windows allow plenty of natural light to enter, creating a particularly bright and pleasant atmosphere. The well-maintained bathroom features a spacious walk-in shower, toilet and vanity unit. The top floor was created by adding a complete roof extension. A staircase installed in 2016 leads to this bright and versatile living space. Currently arranged as one generous open-plan room with a beautifully designed wall of built-in wardrobes, this floor offers plenty of possibilities. Thanks to the thoughtfully designed roof extension, the space can easily be divided into two fully functional bedrooms if desired.
