Description

IN OPTION Quiet, central living and yet in the green: quick to the approach roads, but also quick by bike in the city and even quicker in the natural swimming pond of the Boekenberg Park around the corner.

Many authentic elements have been preserved in this house from 1925, as you can see immediately in the façade with its beautiful front door in decorative wrought iron. Through the hallway with original tiles, you enter the living room with beautiful stained-glass window and space for a cosy fireplace.

A double door with another handsome stained-glass window leads to the sunny living kitchen with glass extension. Here the light falls in very nicely and you enjoy the soothing view of the garden (SW). The kitchen could use an upgrade. Because the garden was designed according to the principles of permaculture, you benefit from home-grown fruit and vegetables and biodiversity with a minimum of work. Moreover, you have no backdoor neighbours, so here you can really speak of an oasis of calm. Handy: dry cellar with masses of storage space.

The 1st floor has 3 bedrooms, with a beautiful bay window in the master bedroom that lets in lots of light. There is also a spacious bathroom, which calls for a thorough renovation. On the 2nd floor, you have another 3 spacious bedrooms and room for a 2nd bathroom.

Thanks to the new windows, the necessary insulation and solar panels, the house currently has an EPC of 260, which you can reduce even further with central heating (now separate gas heaters) and a heat pump.

The owners,

owner speaks out

We created a beautiful 'edible' garden, literally buzzing and buzzing with life, after taking a permaculture course. Now we love to welcome our friends with a fresh cup of tea from home-grown herbs in the garden - bliss. Thanks to its perfect south-west orientation, the garden allows you to enjoy the sun all day long. It is also nice and convenient that the city is still nearby. At weekends, we go into town by tram or bike. Not a day goes by without us taking a lovely walk in Boekenberg Park, which is just around the corner. In summer, it's also a dream to have that park so close by, because it has a great, natural swimming pond hidden in it.
