Plot, garden and development potential
One of the property's main attractions is its generous 405 m² plot and spacious garden located behind the house.
The garden offers ample space for outdoor dining, relaxation, children's activities, landscaping or the creation of a beautiful private green retreat.
The available space to the side of the existing building is another particularly interesting feature.

Extending the existing family home.
Creating additional living accommodation.
Developing a separate space for family members or multigenerational living.
Exploring the possibility of an additional residential unit that could potentially generate rental income.
These ideas represent possible development scenarios rather than confirmed building rights.
All extensions, conversions or additional residential units are subject to the applicable municipal planning regulations, including the PAG/PAP, and the relevant administrative approvals.

Renovation and improvement opportunities
The property benefits from a solid basic structure and offers a good foundation for a renovation project.

The main points to consider include:
Renovating the bathrooms and sanitary facilities.
Improving thermal insulation, especially within the roof.
Renewing the waterproofing of the garage's flat roof, where leakage has been identified.
Addressing signs of moisture in the basement. Suitable ventilation and an assessment of the underlying causes are recommended, with waterproofing improvements considered where necessary.
