A ground floor apartment like this is unique in this part of De Lairessestraat. For us, this is a unique type of home. As part of a grand mansion from the early 20th century, this home has a distinctive size and layout. I have known the home for some time and have watched the owners renovate it. One of the qualities that strikes me most is the unprecedented spaciousness, which offers light and space. You experience this as soon as you enter. With large windows on the south side, it is also a very light ground floor apartment. In our opinion, these are qualities that really belong to the house.

De DeLair No. 35-A
An extra-wide ground floor apartment, unique in this location. This part of De Lairessestraat is known for its large and stately houses. The fact that a distinctive ground floor apartment has been created here is thanks to the owners. They are devoted to the property and its location, and previously decided to continue living upstairs. This resulted in a separate and independent ground floor apartment, characterized by its generous dimensions and spacious Rooms. What strikes me time and again is the light in the house. With large south-facing windows – which are unobstructed – it is a wonderfully light home. The atmosphere and character of the house fit seamlessly with that of the street: an allure and grandeur from the early twentieth century that feels timeless. With a pleasant, sunny south-facing garden, the living experience is complete.
