Ground floor:
Upon entering the interior, you step into an enchanting world filled with unique examples of artisanal craftsmanship. After the entrance with its stone staircase, the vestibule welcomes you with wainscoting and a floor of white marble. The windows of the folding door frame are all adorned with etched thistle motifs. Water lily leaves are integrated into the vestibule ceiling's design.
The grand wide corridor on the ground floor features large marble slabs on the floor and offers a cloakroom for your attire. The door leading to the kitchen has a window with etched glass, decorated with a butterfly and a beetle, along with other Art Nouveau ornaments.
Six tall panel doors hang within generously profiled frames, and above the doors of both the kitchen and the restroom, stained glass windows allow abundant natural light in through strategically placed exterior windows. The restroom features an authentic wall-mounted fountain. A door under the staircase leads to a dry cellar with a storage room secured by a wooden railing gate. The cellar walls are adorned with blue and white tiles. In the corner of the corridor, between the kitchen and the cellar, a bellboard with eight room number plates is situated.
Through the first left door, you enter the front room and are overwhelmed by its spaciousness. These en-suite rooms are equipped with double sliding doors, one set with etched glass and the other solid. Four built-in cabinets surround the door set. The doors are wood-grained in oak color. The side window in the rear room allows ample natural light, and the white and brown marble mantelpieces immediately capture attention. All spaces feature Art Nouveau plaster ceilings. In both rooms, daisy motifs are found within the stucco work, while the conservatory incorporates elegant oak leaves in its ceiling. Decorative stucco work surrounds the mirrors above the mantelpieces, adorned with daisies, and a female head is placed at the top.
Special details like shutters on the windowsills, which can be raised to reveal wooden shutters, add extra charm to this exceptional residence. An extension of the en-suite rooms, accessible through sliding doors with etched glass once again, is a sunny conservatory with colorful stained glass windows in the upper sections. The conservatory grants access to a tiled terrace from which steps lead down to the garden. Behind the spacious kitchen, a utility room with a rear door is located.
