This unpretentious residence is characterised above all by the charm and tranquillity it exudes, as well as by the originality of its unique half-façade of exposed stone. Despite being more or less the same size as the other houses in the area, its two-storey living space is impressive. So much space!
What's more, this property has real potential for development and improvement, with a few changes to the interior and exterior layout. This is the family home par excellence, which can also accommodate a part dedicated to the exercise of an independent profession, or even a craft.
It's all the more attractive because it's located on a large tree-lined square that can accommodate a large number of vehicles without the need for paid parking. Three or four cars can park right in front of it without any difficulty. There's no need to manoeuvre to park and no problem finding a space nearby.
Apart from the street façade, this house is only semi-detached on one side. The other two overlook the garden. A wicket gate gives direct access from the property to the street.

The house currently comprises six rooms and four bedrooms, one of which is on the ground floor, with 111 m2 of living space (Loi Carrez). However, with a few changes to the layout, the house could be extended by four or five rooms, increasing the living space by a further 20 to 30 m2, depending on the choices made. Three of the bedrooms have parquet flooring, while the rest are covered with modern, light and bright tiled floors. Most of the walls and ceilings need freshening up.
On the ground floor, this residence already boasts a very beautiful and somewhat atypical entrance hall. This opens onto a bright, sumptuous tiled hallway leading to the staircase upstairs, a small bathroom with shower and washbasin, a separate toilet and a vestibule leading to a bedroom on the garden level and the garage. The hallway could be used for a dressing room or other storage space.
Upstairs, a central landing leads to three bedrooms, another bathroom with washbasin and bath, and a large through living room with fireplace and functional wood burner. From this living room, there is access to a fitted kitchen and, from this kitchen, to a veranda overlooking part of the garden.
From this veranda, you can descend directly into the garden via an outside staircase, under which there is a very small cellar. The garden is walled and requires very little maintenance. The rear door of the garage also provides access to the outside.
A large attic, with a retractable ladder and a velux window, can be converted in a variety of ways, for example into a small room in its central part and with plenty of storage space around the edges under the roof.

The property as a whole, and the shell in particular, is in good condition. However, some refurbishment work is required, if only to bring the property into line with the buyers' tastes or to replace the somewhat outdated kitchen and bathrooms. And, as with many houses that are more than ten or twenty years old, the electricity and insulation will also have to be brought up to standard in the not too distant future. That's all there is to it.

Double glazing, electric shutters
Gas central heating, fireplace with insert, mains drainage up to standard
Fibre, 4G, double doorbell, 1 with infrared video phone and recorder
Garage with automatic opening and remote control

This increasingly rare and sought-after property is well worth a visit.
