- Exceptional plot size of 1,260 m² with a south-facing back garden of approximately 625 m², offering maximum privacy and outdoor living potential.
- Recently modernized ground floor with contemporary finishes, open staircase with skylight void, and spacious living areas totaling 254 m².
- Practical benefits include a double garage of approximately 40 m², two driveways with parking for multiple cars, and storage throughout.

Downsides
- Energy label C indicates moderate energy efficiency
- the property relies on air heating which may result in higher energy costs compared to more modern systems.
- The bathrooms are described as dated, requiring modernization to meet contemporary standards, adding potential renovation costs.
- Built in 1976, the property is nearly 50 years old, which may come with maintenance concerns typical for homes of this age.
- The asking price of €1,595,000 positions this at the upper end of the Gouda market, potentially limiting the buyer pool.
- The mention of 'building-bound outdoor space' of 138 m² likely refers to the roof terraces, which may have limited practical use depending on weather and personal preference.
Description
This impressive detached villa is situated on the sought-after Abel Tasmanlaan in Gouda, directly bordering the expansive pond of Atlantispark. The property sits on a generous plot of 1,260 m² of freehold land and offers approximately 254 m² of living space, making it one of the most exceptional offerings in this price segment within Gouda.
The ground floor has been recently modernized and features a stylish, contemporary finish throughout. Upon entering through the spacious entrance hall, visitors are immediately greeted by the impressive open staircase with a void and the striking light flooding in through the dome skylight. This architectural feature serves as a true eye-catcher and gives the home its spatial and distinctive character. From the hall, the various living areas are naturally connected.
The generous living room is positioned at the garden side and offers beautiful views across the green garden and the wide water of Atlantispark through its large windows. The living room accommodates multiple seating areas and features an attractive fireplace, creating a pleasant combination of comfort, luxury, and coziness. The finish is modern and elegant with an oak-colored PVC floor and smoothly finished walls.
On the opposite side of the property, you will find the spacious kitchen, executed in a modern layout with ample work and storage space. Thanks to its direct connection to the garden, this forms a wonderful space for daily use as well as extended dining with family and guests. Adjacent to the kitchen is a practical utility room with additional storage options and outdoor access.
Also on the ground floor is a multifunctional room, ideal as a home office, playroom, TV room, or bedroom on the ground floor. This room is also finished to the same high standard as the rest of the living floor.
The integrated double garage is truly unique and measures approximately 40 m². The garage features a neat tiled floor, practical storage space, and electric garage doors. Thanks to its generous dimensions, this space offers ample possibilities for parking multiple cars, bicycles, and additional storage.
The first floor offers space and light in abundance. Via the impressive open staircase, you reach the generous landing with a void that stands in direct connection with the entrance hall below. The large skylight creates a particularly spacious effect, and natural daylight flows in beautifully.
The open architecture gives this floor an exclusive appearance that perfectly matches the character of the villa. This floor accommodates no fewer than five full-sized bedrooms, distributed on both sides of the property. The rooms are characterized by their generous dimensions, pleasant natural light, and unobstructed views over the green garden, the water, and the surrounding park. From several rooms, there is direct access to one of the two roof terraces, allowing inside and outside to blend beautifully. The master bedrooms offer ample space for large furniture arrangements and fully benefit from the quiet and green setting. The other rooms are also excellent in size and ideally suited for use as children's, guest, work, or hobby rooms.
The floor includes two bathrooms. While the sanitary ware is dated, the spaces offer an excellent basis for modernization to your own taste and level. Thanks to the generous layout, stunning contemporary bathrooms can be realized here that perfectly match the grandeur of the property.
The combination of the void, the open sightlines, the generous rooms, and the views over the surrounding garden and the wide water give this floor a particularly free and comfortable living feeling.
The property's exterior immediately reveals its exclusive character. The generous plot of no less than 1,260 m² of freehold land offers a unique combination of space, privacy, greenery, and water. With a width of approximately 29 meters and a depth of approximately 45 meters, the plot has exceptional dimensions that are hardly found at such a central location in Gouda.
At the front, the property has two spacious driveways. The right driveway offers ample parking on site for multiple cars. The second driveway leads to the generous double garage and is uniquely hinged to the property in a way that it subtly moves with the street level, a beautiful architectural detail that perfectly matches the design of the villa. The front garden on the left side is approximately 14 meters wide and directly creates a spatial distance to the street. Thanks to the open position and the mature planting, you experience optimal privacy here. Additionally, the property is accessible on both sides, contributing to the open and free character of the plot.
The back garden is truly impressive in size and faces perfectly south. Directly adjacent to the living room, kitchen, and side facade is a generous attached hardwood terrace, allowing inside and outside to blend seamlessly. The back garden breathes calm and privacy; a green and relaxed living environment where you can enjoy sun, water, and nature in complete silence.
Here you experience a particularly free feeling daily, in the middle of the city but completely surrounded by greenery. The garden is beautifully laid out with mature greenery, lawns, and borders and borders directly onto the wide water of Atlantispark. This unique waterfront location ensures an exceptionally free view and a living experience that rarely occurs. On beautiful days, children can wonderfully enjoy themselves with a small boat or SUP board directly from the garden, giving this place an extra special and relaxed character.
The location on the Abel Tasmanlaan in Gouda offers a quiet and green living environment that is characterized by a pleasant balance between living, nature, and facilities. The street is part of a post-war residential area that was established with much attention for space, light, and livability. Wide streets, green strips, and a child-friendly layout have ensured pleasant living quality here for decades.
The recently renovated Park Atlantis is within short distance and has developed into the green heart of the neighborhood. This park has been redesigned in recent years into a contemporary meeting place where sports, play, and relaxation come together. With modern play facilities, sports fields, and exercise routes, the park offers space for young and old. At the same time, the green character has been preserved, giving it a pleasant, open, and relaxed atmosphere.
The combination of the quiet residential street and the lively neighborhood park makes this location particularly attractive. During the day, there is a pleasant calm, while the park in the afternoon and early evening ensures liveliness and social connection in the neighborhood.
