OBJECT DESCRIPTION:
This beautifully renovated 1930s house combines authentic charm with style and modern comfort. As soon as you step inside, you feel the warm atmosphere and see the craftsmanship with which the home has been modernized while preserving original details. The spacious living room exudes character thanks to typical 1930s bay windows, high ceilings, and a charming wood-burning stove that invites long evenings by the fire. At the back lies the country-style kitchen, equipped with a cozy fireplace and all modern conveniences. Behind the kitchen is another practical utility room, ideal for an extra worktop and storage space. On the first floor are three bedrooms, two of which are generous rooms and a third compact room that can serve perfectly as a home office or child's room.

The visible roof rafters give this space extra character. This floor offers ample opportunities to create one or two additional bedrooms or a work or hobby room. The backyard is a true outdoor paradise: spacious, green, and with optimal privacy. Under the large plane tree you can enjoy shade in the summer, while the lounge area with outdoor kitchen invites long evenings with family and friends. The spacious garage completes the package. Whether you want to relax, garden, or enjoy the view, it's all possible here!

GENERAL:
The house is located on a thoroughfare, but thanks to the excellent insulation and the generous, deep backyard garden, you enjoy surprising amounts of peace and privacy both inside and outside. Hunsel is a charming and green village in the municipality of Leudal within easy reach of the A2 motorway, making cities such as Weert, Roermond, Eindhoven, and Maastricht easily accessible. The rural surroundings are ideal for walking and cycling with extensive nature and beautiful farms nearby. In the village there is a primary school within walking distance from the house and a bakery is located across the street. For weekly shopping and other amenities, surrounding villages such as Ittervoort and Ell are just a short distance away. Thanks to this central location, Hunsel combines rural living with surprisingly quick access to provincial roads and motorways.

GROUND FLOOR:
APPETIZER
Through a charming path through the well-kept front garden, enclosed by decorative fences and green hedges, you walk to the beautiful front door. This was completely renewed just over half a year ago in the style of the 1930s but with the comfort of today. The hallway welcomes you with an original authentic tile floor that has been exceptionally well preserved and immediately adds character. In the wooden closet is the meter cupboard with fiberglass connection, while a handy coat closet ensures a tidy entrance. Behind a door lies the staircase to the basement where a steel gate gives access to the wine cellar. The space is ideal for storing wine but naturally also for stock or other items. In the basement, the floor heating distributor is placed and at the top of the stairs hangs the Nefit CV boiler (2018).

KITCHEN
From the hallway you walk into the spacious living kitchen, the heart of the house. Although the kitchen was installed more than fifteen years ago, it still looks timeless and atmospheric. The country-style cabinet fronts combined with the dark granite worktop give the space a warm, homely feel. Cooking enthusiasts will be delighted with no less than six gas burners, a double oven, and a combimagnetron. Additionally, the kitchen is equipped with a large refrigerator, dishwasher, and a practical wall cupboard for extra storage space. There is plenty of room for a dining table and an air conditioner ensures a pleasant indoor climate. Behind the kitchen lies a practical utility room with a sink, built-in cupboards, and a toilet area with a wall-mounted toilet and tap. You can step directly into the backyard from both the kitchen and the utility room, creating a fine connection between inside and outside.

LIVING ROOM
The living room exudes pure charm of the 1930s and is perfectly styled down to the last detail. The wooden fireplace forms the warm focal point of the space, where you can relax comfortably in the evenings. The bay window on the front side catches sunlight from the southwest, giving the living room a pleasant, light atmosphere. On warm days, you can roll out the awning and close the blinds for cooling and privacy. At the back, the sliding door provides direct access to the terrace under the plane tree, a beautiful spot to enjoy peace and views. Both the living room, kitchen, pantry, and toilet are finished with a wood-patterned PVC floor and equipped with floor heating, ensuring both comfort and stylish appearance.

STUDY:
Through the authentic wooden staircase in a warm, dark color, you reach the first floor, where the combination of atmosphere and functionality immediately stands out. The hallway and the three bedrooms are all finished with a PVC floor in a wood pattern.

SLEEPING ROOMS
The two largest bedrooms are approximately the same size and both are delightfully bright. The bedroom at the front has two windows AND a door to a charming balcony where you can step out on sunny days. All windows and the balcony door are equipped with (electric) roller blinds, so you can keep it pleasantly cool and dark here. The bedroom at the back is equally beautiful, with a large window panel and two pivot windows that not only provide plenty of light but also offer a fantastic view over the extensive farmland. Waking up every morning to such a view is a gift. Both this room and the front-facing room are equipped with air conditioning so you can always sleep comfortably here. The third bedroom is somewhat smaller, but it is therefore cozy and versatile. Perfect as a baby's room, children's room or home office. Here too, there is a pivot window with roller blind.

BATHROOM
The bathroom is practical and atmospheric, equipped with everything you need for a comfortable daily routine. The spacious walk-in shower has both a large rain shower and a hand shower, and there's space in the built-in niche for shampoo and soap. In addition, there is a bathtub to relax in, and a double sink with storage furniture so that everyone has enough space. The electric design radiator ensures a comfortable temperature even on cold mornings. What makes this bathroom extra special is the unobstructed view of the surrounding countryside. You can enjoy the light and scenery without neighbors looking in. For extra privacy, you can close the roller blinds at the pivot windows. The finish in calm natural tones gives the space a serene atmosphere where you can completely relax.

LOFT:
The attic is accessible by a fixed staircase. At the top, you are greeted by a beautiful stained glass sliding door that immediately evokes the atmosphere of the 1930s and gives the attic a unique character.
As soon as you enter the space, your eye immediately falls on the impressive view. The large roof lantern stretches across the entire length of the attic and consists of no less than six windows, four of which are pivot windows. As a result, the room is bathed in natural daylight and offers a panoramic view over the surrounding countryside, different every day but always beautiful. The rafters have been deliberately left visible, giving the attic a robust and atmospheric appearance. Thanks to the clever layout, you can easily create one or two extra bedrooms here or opt for a spacious work or hobby room where peace and inspiration come together. A compact kitchenette with hot and cold water makes the space even more versatile. The connections here also offer the possibility of easily realizing a second bathroom. The white goods connections are also located on this floor, practical and out of sight. The present air conditioning can both cool and heat, making it comfortable to stay here all year round. Also on the attic is a PVC floor.

Garden
GARDEN:
As soon as you step outside through the kitchen, back kitchen, or living room, you enter a beautiful garden that is entirely designed for enjoyment. Right behind the house stands an impressive plane tree, under which a cozy terrace has been laid out. This tree not only sets the mood but also provides lovely natural shade on hot summer days, keeping the inside of the house pleasantly cool. By walking along the garden path further back, you discover new little corners one after another. Grapevines grow gracefully alongside a second seating area, a wood storage shed where you can store plenty of firewood for the stove, an enormous tree that adds character, and a lovely apple tree that each year provides a touch of rural charm.
At the back of the garden lies the lounge area, a true paradise for lovers of outdoor living. Here you can enjoy hours of uninterrupted views over the fields that change with each season. The space is equipped with an outdoor kitchen featuring a washbasin and cabinets (the gas stove has not yet been installed), a large dining table for long summer evenings, and even a seating area with a couch and television. Indoor living effortlessly transitions to outdoor living here: from drinks with friends to peaceful evenings under the starry sky. The garden is further landscaped with lawn and rich flower beds that give it a green and well-kept appearance. Through a gate at the back, you can easily walk into the countryside. Additionally, the garden features outside taps, power outlets, and lighting so you can enjoy it comfortably even in the evening. Lastly, there's a large garage consisting of two sections. In the front section, there is space to store bicycles or even park a car, while the back section has been set up as a workshop, ideal for handy people or hobbyists. In front of the garage lies a driveway with double gates allowing easy entry and exit by vehicle. And growing against the wall at the entrance are two pear trees that perfectly complement the rural atmosphere. This garden is truly an extension of the home: spacious, green, practical, and full of experience. A place where each season has its own charm and where outdoor living comes naturally.
