The atmosphere of 1933, the comfort of 2026 in this terraced house with three bedrooms, a modern kitchen and a wonderfully sunny rear garden This characteristic terraced house dating from 1933 has been modernised and made more sustainable over recent years with great care and attention, while fully preserving the charm of the original home. Think high ceilings, authentic room divisions and a pleasant through living room, combined with a modern kitchen, renovated bathroom, insulated ceilings, renewed electrical installation and a beautifully landscaped west-facing rear garden. Here you do not first have to spend months renovating before you can enjoy a characteristic 1930s home. With approximately 76.9 m² of living space on a plot of 87 m², this property offers a surprising amount of living comfort. In addition, many costly improvements have already been carried out, allowing the next owner to focus mainly on enjoying the home rather than renovating it. LAYOUT Ground floor Through the original front door you enter the hallway, where the terrazzo floor immediately catches the eye. Besides the staircase to the first floor, space for a cloakroom and a door leading to the living room at the rear, the dining room at the front of the house is also accessible. Through the authentic en-suite division with built-in cupboards you reach the living room, which forms the heart of the house. Thanks to the high ceilings, the sliding doors and the connection with the front room, plenty of natural light enters the home. The new hardwood floor, installed in 2025, gives the room a warm and peaceful appearance and fits beautifully with the character of the property. At the rear, the sliding doors open onto the garden, creating a seamless connection between indoors and outdoors. The kitchen was completely renovated in 2023 and features a sleek white design, a stylish worktop and a playful tiled backsplash. Naturally, it is equipped with various built-in appliances, including an oven, induction hob, fridge-freezer combination and dishwasher. In addition, extra wall and floor tiles will remain, should a future owner ever wish to make a minor adjustment. Directly next to the kitchen is the modern bathroom with a shower, toilet and washbasin. For those who may wish to reorganise the layout in the future, preparations have already been made. Connections for hot and cold water as well as the drainage system have been installed on the first floor, allowing the bathroom to be relocated upstairs with relative ease if desired. The rear garden has been carefully landscaped with an attractive combination of greenery, mature planting and paving. The garden offers plenty of privacy and provides a wonderful place to enjoy breakfast outdoors, garden or relax in the afternoon and evening sun. The attached brick storage room is spacious and therefore ideal for bicycles, tools or additional storage. It also houses the connections for the washing equipment. The garden is also easily accessible through the rear entrance. First floor The staircase from the hallway leads to a surprisingly spacious first floor with three full-sized bedrooms. Thanks to the straight walls, high ceilings and large windows, this floor also feels light and spacious. The original 1930s layout has largely been preserved, providing a practical division of the rooms. The main bedroom at the front spans the full width of the house. The large window offers a pleasant view over the street. There is ample space for a double bed and a generous wardrobe. A built-in cupboard is also available. The calm finish and the new laminate flooring provide an excellent basis for any interior style. At the rear are two further bedrooms. These are currently arranged as a study and hobby room, demonstrating the versatility of the space. Whether you work from home, wish to create an artist's studio, need a nursery or would like a comfortable guest room, all options are possible here. In 2025, the original panel doors on this floor were carefully restored to their original appearance. Together with the new window sills and renewed laminate flooring, this creates a first floor that beautifully combines modern comfort with the charm of a 1930s home.
