Spacious 1930s Corner Home with Solar Panels and Sunny Southwest Garden in Badhoevedorp
Key Features
Upsides
- Strong sustainability profile with 20 solar panels, solar water heater, comprehensive insulation, and pending Energy Label A, resulting in very low energy costs.
- Spacious open plan living area of approximately 13 by 8 meters created through a modern glass and steel extension that maximizes natural light.
- Excellent location in Badhoevedorp with quick access to Amsterdam, Amstelveen, Schiphol, and Haarlem, plus nearby recreational areas like the Amsterdamse Bos.
- Private driveway with space for two cars and three phase power connection already in place for electric vehicle charging installation.
- Sunny southwest facing garden with terrace canopy and low maintenance artificial lawn, complemented by two storage sheds.
Downsides
- The asking price of 950,000 euros is substantial, which may limit the pool of potential buyers.
- The Energy Label A has not yet been officially issued, leaving some uncertainty about the final energy rating.
- With four bedrooms but only one full bathroom plus a separate toilet, the bathroom ratio may be insufficient for larger families.
- Despite full modernization, the original 1937 construction means the property may still have characteristic older building elements that could require attention over time.
- The artificial grass in the garden may not appeal to buyers who prefer natural landscaping.
