Located in a tranquil, leafy avenue directly adjacent to the center, the train station (within walking distance), (international) schools, extensive natural areas, and highways A1 and A27, this beautifully spacious family home from 1904 offers exceptional living. This generously sized half of a double, characteristic villa is in good condition. The current owners purchased the house in 1998 and have since lovingly inhabited and maintained it, continuously improving and insulating it over time. It features an attached garage currently serving as a utility room and storage/shed. Behind the garage is a guest or au pair accommodation with a spacious sitting/bedroom and a simple bathroom with toilet, sink, and shower. This guest accommodation is the only area with single glazing, contrasting with the rest of the house, which boasts plenty of HR++ and HR +++ glazing. This delightful family home also lends itself well to home office or practice use.
