And let’s not forget the nearby park, perfect for Sunday breakfasts, coffee strolls, or walking the dog. In short, Van der Hoevenstraat 11 isn’t just any home — it’s a house with a soul. Let’s start outside, where the cheerful exterior already draws you in. The charming overhanging roof, the bay window stretching across two floors, and the stained-glass windows all add character. Through the sturdy front door, you enter a small, practical hallway with a toilet, a washbasin, and space for coats and shoes. From here, step into the living room. Open the paneled door and – wow – there it is: a warm wooden floor, subtle decorative ceiling details, and beautiful natural light. The bay window at the front is the perfect spot for reading or unwinding on the window bench. At the rear, there’s space for a large dining table where you can enjoy long dinners with friends while looking out over the garden. And that adorable little door under the stairs? A perfect play nook for children. The kitchen is located in the rear extension and features lots of counter space and cabinets. There's room for all your appliances and the washing machine. With windows and a garden door, the kitchen is bright and leads straight to the private, sheltered backyard — a little oasis in the city with space for a lounge area and plenty of privacy. Heading upstairs, the first floor has two bedrooms and a tidy bathroom. The bathroom is fresh, timeless, and equipped with a shower, toilet, sink, and radiator. The large front bedroom – complete with bay window – is surprisingly spacious and offers a pleasant view. The rear bedroom is light and practical. And then there’s the attic: a hidden gem. This spacious, bright top floor has wide dormers on both sides, air conditioning, ample storage under the sloping roof, and custom-built wardrobes. Here, you can create a fantastic master suite or a fourth bedroom. Want to add a small bathroom? That’s possible too. The space is there – all it needs is your vision. This house is anything but standard. From the bright rooms to the timeless charm of its era, you’ll feel the character in every corner.
