Design vision
The property on Kortenaerstraat is part of a distinctive building block constructed in the early 20th century. This architectural style often features traditional facades with brickwork, large windows, and sometimes ornate balcony railings. Originally, these building blocks were equipped with spacious basements. Approximately twenty years ago, many of these spaces were adapted for habitation by raising the ground floor level, creating attractive living areas. During the renovation of the homes on Kortenaerstraat in 2019, enhancements such as enlarging the basement windows were made to optimize natural light. The overall design is well-balanced, featuring materials like wooden flooring, a luxurious kitchen, and tasteful hardware and fixtures.
Living and cooking
The kitchen is extensively designed with a cozy cooking island. The dining area and living space are at the rear of the house and connect to the spacious and sunny southwest-facing garden.
Sleeping and bathing
On the bedroom floor, there are three common bedrooms with plenty of space for wardrobes. The bathroom is tastefully designed and equipped with a bathtub, shower, washing machine connection, and double sink.
The garden
From the living area, there is direct access to the spacious southwest-facing garden. The garden is beautifully landscaped with a terrace, play area, trampoline, and plenty of greenery. These building blocks are spaced far apart, resulting in abundant greenery within the expansive inner gardens.
