Layout
First floor:
Through the communal staircase, you reach the entrance to the first floor. You step into an attractive and well-laid-out apartment, where the impressively spacious and bright living room at the front immediately catches your eye. Large windows offer a beautiful view of the canal and, together with the high ceilings, create an abundance of light and a pleasant, open atmosphere. At the center of the apartment is the open kitchen, equipped with a gas hob, dishwasher, refrigerator, freezer, and combi oven (Siematic and Bosch). Next to the kitchen, you’ll find a separate toilet with hand basin. At the quiet rear (back house) of the apartment is a generous bedroom, which offers direct access to a west-facing balcony — a wonderful place to relax in the afternoon and evening sun. The adjacent bathroom is equipped with a double sink, a spacious bathtub/shower, and connections for a washer and dryer. From the hall, a fixed staircase leads to the spacious landing on the second (and top) floor of the rear house.
Second floor rear house:

Here you’ll find a particularly spacious and cozy room, perfect to set up as a master bedroom, study, or comfortable guest room.
