At the front, you have splendid open views over the renovated garden of the historic Town Hall, and at the rear, greenery stretching towards the Vrijheidsdreef. But first: let’s step inside. - Ground floor: Through the authentic front door, we enter a stately vestibule featuring original tiles and a glass-panel door leading to an equally impressive long hallway with staircase. The en-suite living room is spacious (approx. 13 meters deep and 4.50 meters wide) and impressive thanks to the high ceilings (3.30 m). At the front is a sitting area with a fireplace and tall windows with decorative glazing bars. The en-suite section includes built-in cupboards and sliding doors. The rear is divided into a large dining area and an adjoining second sitting area, currently used as a TV area, with French doors opening onto the garden. If desired, this space could be opened up to connect with the kitchen. The kitchen-diner is designed in a classic style and equipped with various built-in appliances. From the dining area, you have a pleasant view of the garden, which is also accessible via a door. The adjoining utility room is, of course, very practical. Extending from the utility room is a storage shed, also accessible from the garden. Back in the hallway, there is access to the cellar, a modern toilet with washbasin (2022), and additional storage space. - First floor: Upstairs, we arrive in another long hallway where the high ceiling immediately stands out. This floor offers three spacious (bed)rooms and a modern bathroom. The front room boasts stunning views of the Town Hall and is currently used as a beautiful home office. The rear rooms overlook the greenery. The bathroom was stylishly renovated in 2021 and features a spacious walk-in shower, second toilet, and washbasin. There are also three large built-in storage cupboards along the hallway. - Second floor: Via the staircase, we reach the second floor. If the ceilings on the lower floors were impressive, this level is truly remarkable, with ceilings reaching 4.30 meters high. This floor also offers three (bed)rooms, two of which are very spacious. The third room features a staircase leading to a playful mezzanine level. The second bathroom was stylishly renovated in 2022 and includes a walk-in shower, freestanding bathtub, third toilet, and washbasin. - Garden: And then there’s the garden. South-facing, meaning sunshine all day long. From morning to evening, you can fully enjoy outdoor living. The garden offers plenty of privacy and a beautiful unobstructed view towards the greenery of the Vrijheidsdreef. A wonderful place for long summer evenings, children playing, or simply relaxing.
