Description of the house:
This house combines timeless historic charm with all the modern comforts you desire. Step into the living room, where a classic fireplace and a tall antique wall clock set a warm, nostalgic tone. The long dark-wood table and its gently ticking pendulum clock deepen the atmosphere, while the breakfast room glows under a striking black chandelier with yellow-orange candle glass.
The bedrooms — especially the romantic “Rose” room and the storybook-inspired “Narnja” — carry you effortlessly back in time, creating a uniquely charming and comfortable stay.
Balancing this old-world elegance is a fully equipped modern kitchen, featuring quality electric appliances, a spacious fridge and separate freezers, and a generous pantry room perfect for storage. Practical conveniences continue with a laundry machine for everyday comfort.
