2 min walk: Coin laundry, mart, convenience store 3 min walk: Large grocery store 15 min walk: Intercity Bus Terminal 20 years ago, on the first day I got married to the 'Princess's Man'. The moment I left the busy roadside with its complicated noises and horns behind and entered the secluded path leading to the village, all the noise disappeared as if it were a lie and a beautiful and quiet village unfolded before my eyes. This place was 'Hanjeokgol'. My father, who moved here with his parents 85 years ago when he was young, has lived here since giving birth to five children, and my current husband, who was born the youngest, gave birth to and raised four children here... There were things I wanted to show my children. The moisture of spring rain and pretty flowers, the loud sound of raindrops cooling off the hot summer, fruits ripening in the rich autumn sun, and trees that endure the winter with their roots buried in the frozen ground under the cold snow... These are the spaces where I gave birth to and raised four children, insisting on being alone. Although it has changed a lot now, I tried to capture the old beauty of this space while recalling the quiet village of old. A high tiled wooden wall for absolute space, large windows divided by lines of tranquil traditional patterns, the tiled roof and elegant stone steps, which are the best of Hanok, bathrooms that resemble calm tiles... and a re-creation of antique jade statues and old mother-of-pearl cabinets... How about reinterpreting the wisdom of tradition and classical beauty with the old things hidden here and there? We now offer you this space where you can feel the tranquility of your heart in the midst of the complexity of a small city.
