Beschreibung
Located along the service road of Jan van der Heijdenstraat in Hilversum, this terraced house from 1928 presents itself as a renovation project for buyers looking to create a home according to their own preferences and contemporary living standards. The property has remained within the same family for many years and now offers the opportunity to modernize a residence that still retains much of its original character.
The house provides approximately 95 square metres of living space spread across two main floors and an attic level. With a plot size of 182 square metres, the property includes both front and rear gardens, along with a detached brick storage building. The total volume of the house measures 321 cubic metres.
Entering the property on the ground floor, you arrive in a hall that provides access to a toilet and the staircase leading to the upper floors. From the hallway, you reach the living room which incorporates a dining area. The living space benefits from natural light entering from both the front and rear of the property, offering views of the gardens on both sides. At the back of the house, a conservatory extends the living area and creates a direct connection to the rear garden. The kitchen is situated at the rear of the ground floor and is described as simple in design, indicating it will likely require updating as part of any modernization project.
The first floor comprises a landing that gives access to two bedrooms and a bathroom. The bathroom is equipped with a shower, washbasin, and toilet, providing the essential facilities. These rooms will likely benefit from modernization to align with current expectations for comfort and style.
A fixed staircase leads to the second floor, which consists of an attic space. This area currently serves as storage but offers possibilities for conversion into an additional bedroom, a hobby room, or a home office. The presence of a proper staircase rather than a pull-down ladder makes this conversion more straightforward and accessible.
The outdoor spaces represent one of the notable features of this property. The rear garden extends approximately 16 metres in depth and measures about 84 square metres in total, with a width of 5.5 metres. The garden faces northeast, which means it receives morning sun. A practical rear access path provides convenience for reaching the garden without going through the house. At the far end of the garden stands a detached brick storage shed measuring approximately 24 square metres, which is equipped with electricity. This outbuilding offers significant potential for use as a workshop, studio, or additional storage space. The front garden is described as well-maintained.
Parking is available directly in front of the property, though the listing indicates that the area operates under a paid parking system with permit requirements. This is worth considering when evaluating the ongoing costs of living at this location.
The property dates from 1928, and while the roof tiles were replaced around 1990, much of the house remains in its original state. The heating system consists of gas-fired heaters rather than central heating, and hot water is provided by a gas water heater (geiser). The windows have partial double glazing, and the property features natural ventilation along with TV cable connections. The energy label is rated G, reflecting the lack of modern insulation and heating efficiency that would be expected in a renovated property.
The location in Hilversum is described as central and convenient. The property is situated close to shops, schools, public transport connections, sports facilities, major roads, and the town centre. This accessibility makes the location practical for daily living and commuting.
It is important to note several legal and practical aspects of this sale. The property is being sold in its current condition, commonly expressed as "as is, where is." The sellers have not occupied the property themselves, and a non-owner-occupancy clause will be included in the purchase agreement. Additionally, given the age of the property, an age clause will form part of the contract. These clauses are standard for older properties sold for renovation and serve to manage expectations regarding the condition of the home.
The asking price is set at 435,000 euros, which translates to approximately 4,579 euros per square metre of living space. This price point positions the property as an opportunity for buyers willing to invest in modernization work in exchange for the chance to customize a home in a central Hilversum location.
For those considering this property, the key factors to weigh include the scope of renovation required to bring the house up to modern standards of comfort, energy efficiency, and sustainability. The original condition means that while character elements may remain, significant investment will be needed for aspects such as heating, insulation, kitchen and bathroom updates, and likely electrical and plumbing improvements. The presence of the spacious garden and detached outbuilding adds practical value to the property, as does the potential to create additional living space in the attic.
