Our house is a beautiful old town house, built in 1896 and fully renovated in 2009. When we bought the house, almost all historic details were still available and off course we kept as many details as possible, but also modernized it to the current standards. The house is in a quit street with many families with young children.
The house has a small front garden with nice morning sun and garden in the back (9 x 6 meters), with a dining table, a BBQ area and a lounge bench.
On the ground floor there is the living area separated by antique sliding doors from the open kitchen / dining room. In the kitchen 90 cm prof gas stove, big oven, microwave, dishwasher and various kitchen machines. There is a small cellar under the kitchen. In the hallway there is a toilet.
On the first floor there are two large bedrooms. One is used as study but has a comfortable double-bed/couch. There is a spacey bathroom with shower and separate bathtub. On the hallway again a toilet and a walk-in closet.
On the second floor there are two large bedrooms with beds for young children, a second bathroom with bathtub and toilet and a washing-room.
We like very much the contrast of an historic house and contemporary furniture. We also like art and our house is full with modern art paintings.
