LAYOUT (see floor plans) Through the neat and spacious staircase, you reach the apartment on the third floor. Upon entering through the hallway, you step into a wonderfully bright space, thanks to the open layout created by breaking down walls between the living room, kitchen, and dining area, along with the presence of a bay window in the living room. The former third bedroom has been transformed into a spacious dining area added to the living room. This can easily be converted back into a third bedroom by installing a wall and door from the hallway. The modern handleless kitchen is fully equipped with a dishwasher, induction cooktop, combination oven, and a separate freezer. There's also space for a wine cooler or bar stool. Two French doors provide access to the balcony from the kitchen. The wide balcony, measuring 6 m2 and finished with high-quality scaffolding wood flooring, a custom-made bench with storage, electricity, and outdoor lighting, offers ample space for outdoor dining, barbecuing, and overlooks the beautifully landscaped inner courtyard. Since the upstairs neighbors don't have a balcony, it receives sunlight early in the year and remains sunny until late in the evening! At the rear, you'll find the large bedroom and a second children's room, which can also be used as a study. The modern bathroom with walk-in shower and vanity unit, as well as the separate toilet, are accessible from the hallway. There is a private storage room on the ground floor with access to the inner courtyard, complete with electricity and lighting. You can walk "behind" through the gate to the storage, for example, with your bike or stroller. The inner courtyard is a peaceful place with picnic tables and benches for all neighbors, ideal for relaxation.
