High ceilings, old wooden doors, stained-glass windows and a massive hall… We’ll miss the soul of this house. The tranquillity that lies hidden behind the façade once you step inside is why this was such a wonderful home for us. We fell in love with the house’s authenticity and charm, and we already know that’s something we won’t feel again any time soon. Thanks to the high ceilings and doors, every floor offers a wonderful sense of space. And just when you think you’ve reached the top, there’s yet another floor. We personally consider the surprising space at the very top, with its lovely roof terrace, to be a massive asset – ideal as a hobby room, a large study or a master bedroom.
Practicality has also been taken into account: the separate storage areas on every floor mean you can always keep the living spaces tidy. Downstairs there’s the utility room or scullery, on the first floor the laundry room, and upstairs there’s the mezzanine and the storage room in the hallway. The playful nature of the mezzanine levels also makes each floor look different – which is lovely.
Park Spoor Noord is our back garden. We go for a walk in the greenery every day, and when it’s hot, we seek refreshment in the fountains. We also enjoy the outdoor spaces at home. In summer, we simply pick our breakfast straight from the trees, as figs and grapes grow in abundance in the green, peaceful courtyard.
