Through the characteristic front door you enter the spacious entrance hall, where the high ceilings and original details are immediately apparent. From here you have access to the dining room, the staircase and the hallway leading to the practice space. At the front of the house is the impressive dining room, featuring multiple windows, a working fireplace and a beautifully detailed ceiling that further enhances the historic character of the property. The living kitchen, fully renovated in 2024, forms the modern heart of the home. It is equipped with high-end Miele built-in appliances, including multiple ovens, an induction cooktop with integrated teppanyaki plate, two dishwashers, a large fridge and freezer, and a Quooker tap with sparkling water function. Natural stone countertops and a wooden floor give the space a timeless and high-quality finish. French doors connect the kitchen directly to the backyard. The living room exudes character thanks to its wooden flooring, decorative beams and high ceilings. A true eye-catcher is the original fireplace with built-in cabinetry — formerly the study of Anton Verkade. Authentic wood panelling, built-in cigar cabinets and original tiling have been preserved, giving the room a remarkable historic charm. The front windows feature original stained glass, creating a warm and atmospheric light. From the entrance hall you also reach the separate toilet, the utility cupboard and the practice space. From the utility cupboard there is access to the approximately 4 m² basement with standing height — ideal for storage or use as a pantry. The practice space features underfloor heating, a kitchenette and a private side entrance, making it perfectly suited for working from home, a studio or informal care accommodation. The additional storage area behind it is fitted with washing machine and dryer connections (with external ventilation). First floor The staircase leads to the spacious landing on the first floor. The hall is fully insulated and fitted with new window frames and insulating double glazing. A second washing machine connection is also located here. This floor offers four full-sized bedrooms, a separate toilet and a bathroom. All bedrooms are well-proportioned and benefit from pleasant natural light. The two largest bedrooms feature practical built-in wardrobes and are equipped with air conditioning (cooling and heating), ensuring a comfortable indoor climate throughout the year. The bathroom is generously sized and practically laid out with a vanity unit, bathtub and separate shower. It also benefits from electric underfloor heating. Second floor A fixed staircase leads to the spacious second floor of approximately 70 m². This bright, open space features a large dormer window and multiple windows, allowing for abundant natural light. The floor offers numerous possibilities, such as creating additional bedrooms, a home office or hobby space. Garden The generous backyard provides ample space to relax, play and entertain. Thanks to its sheltered position, you can enjoy a great deal of privacy and tranquillity here. There is plenty of room for a large dining table as well as a comfortable lounge area, with additional space to landscape the garden to your own taste.
