Anyone looking for space, character, and urban vibrancy will find a surprisingly spacious home with a warm soul at Jan Sonjéstraat 18. This classic house from 1903 combines original details with contemporary comforts. Think stained glass windows, wooden floors, high ceilings, a laneway network, a brand-new kitchen (2024), and modern split air conditioning (2023) in both attic rooms. Situated on a quiet side street in the popular Oude Westen neighborhood, close to Brancopark, you'll live here on freehold land, with the city center, charming restaurants, and the central station within walking distance. Jan Sonjéstraat is named after Johannes Gabriëlsz Sonjé, a 17th-century landscape painter. One of his paintings hangs at the beginning of the street. The street still exudes history, with its characteristic facades and charming streetscape so typical of this neighborhood. Moreover, the residents form a welcoming community with various shared activities, creating an almost village-like sense of community in the heart of the city. Ground Floor The entrance with a stained-glass skylight leads to a charming, light-filled living room with an open-plan kitchen, totaling approximately 55 m² with high ceilings and abundant natural light. At the front, the stained glass, incorporated into modern double-glazed frames, is immediately striking; at the rear, two large sliding doors in the living room and kitchen connect to the veranda and the greenery beyond. The open-plan kitchen, recently renovated in 2024 (NOBILIA brand) with German appliances (Bosch/AEG/Siemens), is finished in a modern gray with a durable linoleum floor and a granite countertop. It is fully equipped with an oven, dishwasher, CERAN cooktop, and extractor hood. The steel-covered veranda extends from the living room and offers additional seating from spring to autumn, bathed in light and greenery. First Floor The first floor has two spacious bedrooms, the rear of which opens onto a second balcony. On this balcony, a vertical vegetable garden can provide herbs, lettuce, and delicious strawberries in the summer. The bathroom, with its fresh blue tiles, is spacious and equipped with a bathtub, shower, double sink, a heated towel rail, and a second toilet. The height is also striking on this floor: with a ceiling of over three meters, the atmosphere is light and airy. Second Floor The attic floor houses two more bedrooms, each with its own character. The large bedroom at the front boasts a charming ridge height and two skylights that provide plenty of natural light. The room at the rear has a partition wall, making it ideal for a combined study and bedroom. In both rooms, a modern and energy-efficient split air conditioning system ensures a very pleasant temperature even in the height of summer. Both rooms are ideal for guests, children, or a home office. LAN connections are also available on this floor, as in all the other rooms.
