Description
Step into a Piece of History. That’s the feeling you get as soon as you enter this characteristic monumental home, built around 1900. With its high ceilings, stained-glass windows, and south-facing green garden, this house offers an atmosphere of elegance and space that is rarely found these days. Recently, a few modern elements have been added to enhance living comfort. This home not only exudes charm but also offers practical convenience. The various living spaces on the ground floor and the six bedrooms upstairs make it ideal for a family seeking space or for those wanting to work or practice a profession from home.
A Fantastic Location Close to Everything
Situated in a prime location, within walking distance of daily amenities and just minutes from the A59 motorway. The Biesbosch National Park and the Loonse and Drunense Dunes are also nearby.
Authentic Charm with a Modern Touch
In recent years, great care has been taken to preserve and improve the home. For instance, a new kitchen was installed in 2022, and some of the window frames were replaced. The original ceilings have been restored with respect for the home’s history. This means you can enjoy the authentic character while benefiting from modern comfort.
An Ideal Layout
On either side of the stately hallway, you’ll find multiple spacious living areas suited for various purposes. All rooms feature beautiful wooden floors, freshly plastered white walls, high ceilings, and stained-glass windows. The living room connects to the backyard and boasts French doors as well as a wood stove with a natural stone mantel. The separate, modern kitchen is fully equipped and offers direct access to the practical utility room. Upstairs, there are no fewer than six bedrooms, a bathroom, and a separate toilet.
A Green Oasis of Peace and Privacy
The south-facing backyard features multiple terraces and an elegant covered seating area. It’s the perfect spot to enjoy outdoor living in complete privacy. The spacious front yard is also lush with greenery, and there is plenty of room to park your car. There’s even a driveway and an exit ramp, so there’s no need to reverse out onto the street.
Technical Improvements
Several technical upgrades have been made to further enhance living comfort. The electrical panel has been completely renewed, as has the pump for the central heating system. Most of the windows are now double-glazed.
Room for Improvement?
While this home is already very complete, there are a few areas that could use some attention. The dormer windows on the west and front sides need replacing, and sustainability could be improved by installing solar panels on the garage roof, which was replaced last year.
