This venerable villa was built in 1932 and extends over 3 developed floors with a living area of 292m2.

From there, you can already see the entrance with a beautiful and stylish staircase. This room impresses not only with the dominant staircase but also with the wide, bright, and friendly window front. On this floor, there is the dining and living room. The many additional windows allow for an inviting and wonderful view of the garden, which is not visible from the outside. Another highlight is the winter garden in the form of a protected outdoor space. From here, you can access the terrace, garden, and pool. Cypresses, a palm tree, and a fig tree emphasize the Mediterranean ambiance. Of course, there is a lovely guest toilet available for visitors.
The kitchen is comfortably equipped with all common appliances and, like the 2nd external preparation kitchen (also equipped with an oven and stove), has generous windows. The kitchen can be accessed through the back entrance. Through a passage, you reach the garage with an automatic door.

On the upper floor, centrally located is the master bedroom with a dressing room and its own balcony overlooking the garden and pool.

Another children's room or guest room and the bathroom with a separate toilet complete the offerings on this floor. The attic has been developed as a complete, independent living area. The offering includes a kitchen, bedroom, shower/WC, and a living room.

The basement has 3 additional well-utilizable rooms. Currently, there is a fitness room, the former workshop, and a storage room, e.g., for the many homemade items (from the trees and plants in the garden). Various trees such as plums, quinces, figs, and cherries are available for you. The spacious laundry room with its own access offers enough space for the family's laundry and/or for a small business in guest rentals. It also has windows and is pleasantly bright.
