Living in a Former School Building – Character, Comfort and an Exceptional Sense of Atmosphere
A truly unique home in a former school building, where authentic architecture and contemporary living comfort come together in a remarkable way. Located at Bresterstraat 71, this characteristic former school building was fully renovated and transformed in 2020 into an atmospheric and exceptionally well-equipped home offering approximately 100 m² of living space.
What makes this property so special is the combination of its history with modern-day comfort. The impressive ceiling height of approximately 3.45 metres, the original window frames with their characteristic curved detailing and the surprising features that recall the building’s former use as a school give this home a character that you simply do not find in a conventional property. There is also an excellent opportunity to create a second bedroom with relative ease.

Characterful Exterior, Modern and Comfortable Interior
The moment you enter, the sense of space immediately stands out. The high ceilings create a wonderful feeling of openness and airiness, while the original window frames, fitted with HR++ double glazing, and their attractive rounded shapes emphasise the character of the former school building.
The property has been fully renovated and equipped with modern installations and high-quality finishes. The ground floor features underfloor heating, complemented by a stylish poured resin floor with a distinctive flame effect that is a real eye-catcher.
Careful attention has also been paid to the details, with extensive use of bespoke solutions and high-quality materials.

An Entrance Full of Character
The entrance is both practical and stylish, featuring bespoke cabinetry providing ample wardrobe and storage space. A distinctive custom-made steel door, designed in the same style as the window frames in the living room, creates an elegant transition into the main living area.
The toilet has been finished in a modern style and features a stylish hand basin.

The Living Room: Bright, Spacious and Full of Atmosphere
The living room is undoubtedly the heart of the home. Thanks to the high ceilings, large characteristic windows and direct connection to the garden, this is a wonderfully bright and inviting living space.
One particularly charming feature is the original school cupboard, which has been given a second life as an atmospheric coffee and storage cabinet. It is a beautiful piece of the building’s history that has been preserved while fitting perfectly into the contemporary interior.
The open-plan kitchen connects seamlessly with the living room and features a generous island and a wall-mounted kitchen arrangement. The worktop is finished in béton ciré, while the induction hob has an integrated extractor. The kitchen is further equipped with a dishwasher, Neff oven, refrigerator and a separate wine cabinet.
The living room offers plenty of space for both a comfortable seating area and dining area. A bespoke oak windowsill in the corner adds a warm, natural touch and also incorporates a practical cable management solution.
And for those looking for even more living space: provision has already been made on the right-hand side of the living room for the creation of an additional room. Electrical, media and heating connections have already been prepared, including a separate heating circuit that can be operated independently.

Sleek Bathroom with Bespoke Finishes
The modern bathroom is deliberately positioned separately from the main living areas and has been finished in a sleek and contemporary style.
The generous walk-in shower and bespoke bathroom furniture create a stylish and cohesive whole. The vanity unit features a distinctive natural wood countertop with a countertop basin, once again combining natural materials with contemporary design.
Adjacent to the bathroom is a practical bespoke storage cupboard housing the Avanta central heating boiler (2021), together with preparations for a future heat pump. Space for installation has already been taken into account on the roof.
The washing machine and tumble dryer also have their own dedicated space here, together with additional storage. A sliding door allows these practical facilities to be neatly concealed from view.
Above the bathroom is an additional convenient storage area containing the mechanical ventilation unit.

Bedroom with Bespoke Wardrobe
The bedroom also benefits from a bespoke fitted wardrobe, making optimal use of the available space.
Its position on this side of the building also provides a pleasant sense of privacy. There is no direct children's play area belonging to the childcare facility on this side, ensuring that the bedroom enjoys a peaceful setting.

A Sunny Garden as an Extension of the Home
The beautiful, sunny garden can be accessed directly from the living room. It is a wonderful place to sit outside, relax and enjoy the sunshine.
The garden therefore forms a natural extension of the bright living room and further enhances the feeling of space already experienced inside the property.
The property has also been thoughtfully prepared with the future in mind. The meter cupboard contains various provisions and connection points, including preparations for solar panels on the roof on the garden side.
In addition, the property comes with a private parking space on the premises, while the crawl space can be accessed via the main entrance.

A Home with a Story of Its Own
Bresterstraat 71 is not an ordinary home. It is a home with a history.
The high ceilings, original window frames with their characteristic curves, the preserved school cupboard and the architecture of the former school building give the property a strong and distinctive identity. At the same time, the interior has been completely adapted to modern standards of comfort, featuring underfloor heating, a contemporary kitchen and bathroom, bespoke solutions, HR++ glazing and provisions for further improving the property’s sustainability.
The result is a surprising combination of industrial character, modern luxury, warmth and comfort.

A home for those who are not simply looking for a house, but who are drawn to a property with character, history and a story to tell.

From school building to exceptional home.
