The main residence is a semi-detached home built in 1946, with a total living area of 139 square meters. The property sits on an exceptionally large plot of 2,422 square meters, which is particularly notable for a semi-detached home. The location is described as being at the edge of the Spaarbankbos, offering a woodland setting while still being only 7 minutes by bicycle from the center of Hoogeveen.

The property has achieved an A+ energy label, which is remarkable for a home from 1946. This has been accomplished through various upgrades including roof insulation, wall insulation, partial floor insulation, and mostly double glazing. The roof tiles were replaced in 2012, and new gutters have been installed. The heating system consists of a hybrid heat pump installed in 2022 and an Intergas combination boiler from 2023. Additionally, the property has 28 solar panels, contributing to its excellent energy efficiency.

The ground floor of the main residence features an entrance hall, a living room with a wood-burning stove, and a conservatory with French doors leading to a covered terrace. The kitchen is described as contemporary and complete, featuring a freestanding Boretti stove with oven, extractor hood, microwave, and refrigerator. The kitchen also has air conditioning. A utility room provides access to the rear entrance and contains a toilet. The house includes a basement used as a storage cellar.

The first floor contains a landing, a toilet room noted as being from 2026, which likely refers to a recent renovation date, a bathroom with a walk-in shower and washbasin cabinet, and two bedrooms, both with air conditioning. One of the bedrooms has a dormer window. Above this is a storage attic.

A notable feature of this property is the detached guest house, built in 1992. This separate accommodation has its own entrance hall with a toilet and built-in closet, a living room with air conditioning on the ground floor, and a bedroom with a skylight on the first floor. The guest house has its own Nefit central heating boiler from 2013 and is fully connected to water, gas, electricity, sewerage, and internet services, making it suitable for various uses such as hosting guests, rental purposes, or a home office.

In addition to the main house and guest house, the property includes several outbuildings: a garage that is fully insulated with an attic and electricity, a double carport, multiple covered structures, a workshop, a detached wooden storage shed with electricity, and other ancillary buildings. The total external storage space is 50 square meters, and the building-bound outdoor space is 73 square meters. There is also 41 square meters of other indoor space.

The garden is oriented to the south, measuring 55 meters deep and 31 meters wide for the backyard alone, covering 1,705 square meters. The property has a spacious driveway providing parking on the premises. The garden is described as having many possibilities.

The property consists of three cadastral parcels: HOOGEVEEN A 4662 covering 680 square meters, HOOGEVEEN A 6003 covering 670 square meters, and HOOGEVEEN A 6431 covering 1,072 square meters, all in full ownership.

Hoogeveen offers a comprehensive range of amenities including sports facilities both indoor and outdoor, a theater, cinema, shopping street, indoor swimming pool, recreational areas, a train station, hospital, and library. The A28 highway access ramps are located nearby.

The property has wooden and plastic window frames and doors. Floor heating is present in the utility room and bathroom. A water softener is installed. The house features mechanical ventilation and outdoor sun blinds.

The combination of the main residence and guest house creates flexibility for various living arrangements. The guest house could serve as accommodation for elderly family members wanting independence while staying close, a workspace for a home-based business, or potentially a rental unit for additional income. The presence of its own heating system and full utilities makes it a genuinely independent living space.

The energy improvements represent significant investments that benefit future owners. The 2022 hybrid heat pump combined with the 2023 Intergas boiler provides an efficient and modern heating system. The 28 solar panels substantially reduce electricity costs, and the A+ energy label indicates low energy consumption. For a property originally built in 1946, achieving this level of energy efficiency demonstrates thorough and thoughtful renovation work.

The outdoor spaces offer considerable potential. With over 2,400 square meters of land, there is room for gardening, recreational purposes, or further development of the outbuildings. The south-facing orientation ensures good sunlight exposure for the garden. The proximity to the Spaarbankbos provides immediate access to nature and walking opportunities.

The location balances rural tranquility with practical convenience. While situated outside the built-up area, the property remains accessible. The 7-minute bicycle ride to Hoogeveen center makes daily shopping and services easily reachable. The nearby A28 highway connects to larger cities in the region for those who commute by car.

The parking facilities are generous, with a spacious driveway, a double carport, and an additional garage. This should easily accommodate multiple vehicles, which is valuable for a property that might house multiple households if the guest house is utilized.

The presence of a basement adds useful storage space, which is not common in Dutch homes of this era. The utility room with rear entrance provides practical separation between the living areas and potentially dirty activities or deliveries.

The mechanical ventilation system contributes to good indoor air quality, while the air conditioning units in the kitchen and bedrooms provide comfort during warm periods. The water softener addresses the hard water issue common in many parts of the Netherlands, benefiting both the plumbing system and appliances.

Looking at the specific measurements, the property has a volume of 638 cubic meters. The 139 square meters of living space is divided across two main floors, with additional space in the basement and attic. The 41 square meters of other indoor space likely includes the conservatory and utility room areas.
