'About forty years ago, we fell like a log for the magnificent facade of this house. When we stepped inside, it became even more beautiful: the authentic elements such as the fireplaces, stained glass and painted doors immediately appealed to us. We also liked the spacious feeling you get thanks to the height of the living room.

Also very nice: the large but manageable garden, with side gate on the street side, super convenient to easily park your bikes or put out the garbage cans. Later we bought an extra piece of land behind the garden, with exit towards the parking lot and Sint-Jansstraat. There we built a carport, a handy extra that we also enjoyed a lot.

The street itself is also quite wide compared to many other, rather narrow center streets in Hamme. A lot of older houses in the Stationsstraat bear witness to its prosperity.'
