The house dates from 1912 and stands on a sun-oriented plot of 581 m2. It comprises 208 m2 of usable floor space and has four bedrooms, complemented by various practical and multifunctional spaces. Between 2019 and 2023, the owners thoroughly renovated the house with great love, knowledge of its history and respect for its original character. Authentic elements were carefully preserved and combined with contemporary living comfort and energy-efficient interventions.
The striking brick façade with round arched windows, stone accents and decorative balcony immediately indicates that this is not an everyday home. The beautiful wrought iron front garden fence also contributes to the appearance. The black-and-white fence dates back to the first half of the twentieth century and is included in the Property Inventory for its heritage value. Furthermore, the property is exempt from this inventory.
Various characteristic elements remained visible inside. High ceilings, original parquet floors, restored interior doors and richly worked-out mantelpieces provide a warm, alive look.

Through the entrance hall with separate guest toilet you reach the living rooms.

Then there is the dining room with another high ceiling height and a wide window. The sequence of living room and dining room is consistent with the classic layout of the property and at the same time provides sufficient space for daily family life.
The kitchen was completely renovated in 2023 and fits nicely with the style of the house. Dark case fronts, a wooden worktop, brass-colored fittings and striking cookery construction with decorative relief tiles form a special whole. The kitchen is equipped with a ceramic hob, refrigerator with freezer area, dishwasher and separate oven and microwave oven.
At the back is the spacious glass garden room. The glass roof and the wide sliding parts let in a lot of daylight and provide a direct connection to the garden. The original brick back wall remained visible here and forms a characteristic background. This room is heated and can be used all year round as a dining area, second sitting area or place to enjoy the garden quietly.
Furthermore, the ground floor has a practical storage room and a separate laundry room with space for household appliances and supplies.
On the first floor, the landing leads to two bedrooms. Here, too, the high windows, wooden floors and existing mantelpieces provide an atmosphere that resembles a boutique hotel. The bathroom was completely renovated in 2022 and is furnished with a spacious walk-in shower, a bathroom furniture with sink and a toilet. The white finish, glass chandelier and blue tinted decorative tiles give the space a fresh, well-kept look.
A fixed staircase takes you to the furnished upper floor. Here there are two additional rooms, so the house has a total of four bedrooms. Depending on the need these rooms can also be furnished as desk, hobby room, guest room or additional living space.
Especially the open space under the roof is special. The high ceiling, the laid-out wooden binding and the visible parts of the brick structure give this floor a distinct character. The authentic materials make the property's history tangible, while the contemporary finish ensures a personal and comfortable living environment.
The basement of approximately 25 m2 offers additional space for storage and technical installation.
The house was also treated outside. The glass garden room opens completely to the terrace and garden. The pavement and mature green frame ensure a pleasant outdoor space with the necessary privacy. There is a wide driveway on the side and two parking spaces are available in front of the house. As a cherry on the cake, the driveway is still finished with an entrance gate.

The house has a condensing gas boiler from ATAG, a water softener and PVC and aluminum exterior shrapnel with high efficiency glazing. In addition, the roof, walls and a large part of the floors were insulated. These interventions result in an EPC label C with an energy score of 278 kWh/m2 years).
