Behind the charming façade lies a home that has been lovingly maintained and updated over the years with great attention and craftsmanship. Upon entering, you are immediately struck by the beautiful natural light, enhanced by the opening doors (with luxurious espagnolette fittings) that lead to the sunny south-facing backyard. The living room forms the heart of the home, featuring a gorgeous wooden floor, exposed beams, and a cozy wood-burning stove that creates warmth and a welcoming atmosphere. The open kitchen flows seamlessly from the living area and is equipped with high-end appliances, including a luxurious SMEG stove with six burners and a double oven, a Quooker, and stylish brass-fronted finishes. Upstairs, you’ll find three comfortable bedrooms. Two of these feature custom built-in wardrobes that perfectly complement the home’s style. The modern and well-appointed bathroom boasts a spacious shower, contemporary sanitary ware, and a warm, harmonious ambiance. Every detail has clearly been considered with care. The current owners have thoroughly improved and optimized the property. The roofs have been renewed and insulated, and the ground floor was insulated in 2019. Thanks to features such as solar panels, HR++ glazing, and additional insulation measures, the home holds an energy label C and offers a very comfortable indoor climate. Air conditioning on both floors provides extra comfort throughout the year, both for cooling and heating. The backyard is a true extension of the home, carefully redesigned after ground remediation. Here you will enjoy luxurious terrace tiles, hardwood fencing, an outdoor shower, and a particularly stylish outdoor pavilion complete with a veranda and adjustable slatted roofing—a place where the indoors and outdoors merge effortlessly. In addition, the former barn has been expanded with a multifunctional space that is ideal as an office or relaxation area, equipped with electricity and pre-wiring for heating. At the front, living quality has also been taken into consideration with a charming, retractable façade bench, where you can enjoy the lively yet peaceful street in the evening sun.
