Beschreibung
This terraced house located on a pleasant and child friendly square in Leusden represents a unique opportunity for buyers with a vision for renovation. The property was built in 1974 and offers a living area of approximately 132 square meters spread across three floors. The total plot measures nearly 200 square meters, which is notably generous for a terraced house of this type.
The current condition of the property requires significant attention. The description indicates that the house is in a state of deferred maintenance and is essentially in a shell condition, meaning that much of the interior finishing work needs to be completed or redone by the new owner. This presents both a challenge and an opportunity, as it allows the buyer to customize the layout and finishes according to their own preferences and requirements. The property is being sold on an as is, where is basis, which means that all visible and hidden defects are included in the sale and the seller provides no guarantees regarding the condition of the property.
One specific issue mentioned in the listing concerns the two dormer windows on the roof. One of these dormer windows is reported to have a leakage problem, which will need to be addressed during the renovation process. The roof itself is a gable roof covered with tiles, which is a common and durable roofing solution for Dutch homes of this era.
The layout of the property consists of four rooms in total, with three of these designated as bedrooms. There is one bathroom and a separate toilet. The exact configuration of the living areas and bedrooms is not specified in detail, but with 132 square meters of living space across three floors, there should be reasonable room for a comfortable family layout once the renovation is complete.
The property includes both a front garden and a back garden. The back garden measures 90 square meters with dimensions of 15 meters in depth and 6 meters in width. This garden is situated on the west side of the property, which means it will benefit from afternoon and evening sunlight, making it pleasant for outdoor activities during the warmer months. There is also an attached stone storage building in the garden which provides space for tools, bicycles, or garden equipment. The storage building has electricity connected.
Parking is available both on the property itself and through public parking in the area, which should provide adequate options for residents and visitors.
The location of this property is described as particularly appealing. The house is situated on a quiet square that is noted for being child friendly, with green spaces and play facilities in the immediate vicinity. This makes the location especially suitable for families with children. Essential amenities including schools, shops, and sports facilities are all located within a short distance, adding to the convenience of the location.
In terms of energy efficiency, no energy label is currently available for the property. The windows feature partial double glazing, which suggests that some window replacements may have occurred over the years but that the insulation is not up to current standards. Heating and hot water are provided by a gas fired combination boiler that is owned by the current owner, which means it will transfer to the new owner as part of the sale.
There are several important legal clauses that apply to this sale. The first is the non self occupancy clause, which restricts the buyer from occupying the property themselves. This type of clause is typically applied to ensure that properties are made available for rental rather than being purchased for owner occupation. Buyers should carefully consider this restriction before making an offer, as it significantly affects how the property can be used after purchase.
The second important clause is the old age clause, which is standard for older properties. This clause acknowledges that the property was built in 1974 and that the construction methods and materials used at that time may not meet current standards. It serves to inform buyers that they should not expect the same level of quality and safety features as would be found in newly constructed buildings.
The asking price for this property is set at 400,000 euros, which is payable by the buyer in addition to the standard purchase costs associated with property transactions in the Netherlands. This results in a price per square meter of living space of approximately 3,030 euros. Given that the property requires a complete renovation, potential buyers will need to factor in substantial additional costs for the necessary work.
The cadastral registration shows that the property consists of two parcels, designated as Leusden F 4984 with an area of 171 square meters and Leusden F 6062 with an area of 28 square meters, both held in full ownership. This division of the plot into two cadastral parcels is not uncommon and does not affect the practical use of the property.
In summary, this property offers a renovation project in a desirable location in Leusden. The combination of a generous plot size, good living area, child friendly surroundings, and proximity to amenities makes this an interesting opportunity for buyers who have the vision, skills, and financial resources to undertake a comprehensive renovation. The as is sale terms and the non self occupancy clause are important considerations that will affect the feasibility and attractiveness of this purchase for different types of buyers. Those interested in this property are advised to arrange a viewing to fully assess the extent of the renovation work required and to seek professional advice regarding the legal and financial aspects of the purchase.
