On the atmospheric Dinsdagstraat, in the heart of Sluis, stands this characteristic house from 1948, designed by architect Jos Bedaux. The property has been well-maintained and features a bright through-living room with an open kitchen, two bedrooms, and a bathroom with a shower and a second toilet. At the back, there is a secluded garden facing southeast with a stone storage shed and a rear entrance. The central heating boiler was renewed in 2024. Shops, restaurants, and the greenery of the surroundings are within walking distance. A lovely home for starters, small households, or as a pied-à-terre in this beloved fortified town.
A Piece of Reconstruction History
The Tilburg architect Jos Bedaux (1910–1989) made a significant contribution to the reconstruction of Sluis after World War II. The Dinsdagstraat was built between 1946 and 1948 according to his design, in several phases and with deliberately varied facades. This created a street scene with both unity and diversity, reflecting the atmosphere of that time. This house is also one of his designs. Living here means residing in a piece of architectural history of Sluis.
