Beschreibung
Welcome to Beverstraat 6, a bright and characterful city home located in the highly sought after neighbourhood of Pijlsweerd South in Utrecht. The residence was built around 1903 and has been carefully updated over the past several years. The combination of historic charm and modern comfort creates a living environment that feels both unique and convenient.
The property is set on a quiet residential street that is within easy walking distance of the city centre. The surrounding area is known for a pleasant mix of lively activity and calm ambience. Neighbourhood residents often look out for one another and a strong sense of community can be felt throughout the street. Local amenities include a variety of cafés, restaurants, supermarkets and specialist shops. The central train station and the historic centre of Utrecht are both reachable within a few minutes on foot. Major road connections and public transport options are also close by, making the location highly functional for commuters.
Upon entering the home, a warm and inviting atmosphere is immediately apparent. The layout is practical and spread over three levels, providing a clear separation between public and private spaces. Large windows allow an abundance of natural light to fill the interior, enhancing the sense of space and creating a bright living environment.
The ground floor consists of an open plan living area that serves as the heart of the home. The living room flows seamlessly into a modern kitchen that was completely renovated in 2021. The kitchen features a generous work surface, ample storage and contemporary appliances. The open arrangement encourages social interaction and makes it easy to move between cooking and entertaining.
Upstairs, the first floor holds two well proportioned bedrooms. Both rooms receive plenty of daylight and can be arranged for sleeping, working or a hobby space. The flexibility of the rooms makes them suitable for a variety of household needs, including use as a child’s room or a home office. The third level contains a larger attic bedroom that has been finished to a high standard. This space offers a quiet retreat and could be further divided into two separate rooms if desired, providing additional flexibility for growing families or rental possibilities.
The bathroom was updated in 2017 and presents a modern aesthetic. It includes a walk‑in shower, a wash basin and a vanity unit. Underfloor heating has been installed, adding a comfortable touch during the colder months.
A standout feature of the property is the sunny roof terrace. The terrace provides an outdoor living area in the heart of the city, allowing residents to enjoy sunshine, fresh air and views of the surrounding green roof garden that sits above the kitchen. The garden area is shared with several neighbouring houses, creating a communal sense of greenery even in a dense urban setting.
From a technical perspective the home has been well maintained. The staircases have been replaced to meet contemporary comfort standards. All windows are fitted with double glazing, contributing to energy efficiency and reduced noise from the street. The central heating system is a gas powered boiler installed by Vaillant in 2013 and has been regularly serviced. In 2018 additional roof insulation was added during the construction of the attic space, further improving the thermal performance of the building.
The property carries an energy label D, indicating a solid baseline of energy performance while also leaving room for future improvements. The presence of double glazing, roof insulation and wall insulation all contribute to this rating.
The plot size is 56 square metres and the built‑in living area is approximately 90 square metres. In addition to the roof terrace there is a small patio at ground level measuring roughly nine square metres. Parking is managed through a local permit system, with the possibility of obtaining up to two permits for residents.
The legal documentation for the sale includes an age and asbestos clause, which is a standard safeguard for older constructions. This clause ensures that the buyer is aware of the building’s age and any potential asbestos materials that may be present.
Overall, the home offers a blend of historic character, modern updates, a central yet peaceful location and a private outdoor space that is rare in a city centre setting. It is well suited for individuals or families seeking a comfortable residence with easy access to the amenities and transport links that Utrecht provides.
