Spacious Family Home with Two Bathrooms in Popular Buiten Wittevrouwen
Key Features
Upsides
- The property offers 143 square meters of living space, which is notably larger than most homes in the Buiten Wittevrouwen neighborhood, providing ample room for families or those needing a home office.
- The location in Buiten Wittevrouwen is highly desirable, with the quiet Adriaanstraat being just steps from the vibrant Nachtegaalstraat shopping area and within a ten-minute walk of Utrecht's historic city center and Wilhelminapark.
- Having two full bathrooms plus two separate toilets is relatively rare for a terraced house of this era, adding significant practical value for families or shared living arrangements.
- Recent upgrades include a new central heating boiler installed in 2025 and a solar boiler system, which provide improved energy efficiency and reduced maintenance concerns for the near future.
- Public transportation connections are excellent with a bus stop at the corner of the street providing frequent service to Utrecht Central Station and the city center.
Downsides
- The rear garden measures only 15 square meters, which is quite small for a family home and may not satisfy buyers looking for significant outdoor living space.
- Parking is not included with the property and requires a permit system with paid parking for visitors, which adds an ongoing cost and potential inconvenience.
- The energy label is rated D, indicating moderate energy efficiency despite the presence of insulation and double glazing, which may result in higher energy costs compared to more recently renovated properties.
- The plot size of 79 square meters is relatively small, leaving limited options for any future expansion of the living space or garden.
- As a property built in 1920, there may be hidden maintenance requirements typical of homes of this age that are not immediately visible during a viewing.
Description
This spacious and well-maintained family home is located on Adriaanstraat in the highly sought-after Buiten Wittevrouwen neighborhood in Utrecht East. With a living area of approximately 143 square meters, this property offers more space than most homes in the area, making it particularly suitable for families, those who work from home, or anyone who appreciates having extra room to live comfortably.
The location of this property is exceptionally convenient. Adriaanstraat is a quiet residential street with only local traffic, yet it is situated just a short walk from the vibrant Nachtegaalstraat. This popular shopping street offers a diverse selection of shops, restaurants, and outdoor terraces for dining and socializing. Within approximately ten minutes on foot, residents can reach the Stadsschouwburg theater or the historic city center of Utrecht with its famous canals and cultural attractions. In the opposite direction, the Burgemeester Reigerstraat and the beautiful Wilhelminapark are easily accessible, providing green space for recreation and relaxation.
The surrounding area is well-served by various amenities. Schools, childcare facilities, and sports facilities are all located in the immediate vicinity. Public transportation connections are excellent, with a bus stop at the corner of the street where buses depart every few minutes towards Utrecht Central Station and the city center. For those who travel by car, the main highways are also quickly accessible from this location.
The ground floor of the property features a practical and welcoming layout. The entrance hall provides access to the staircase and includes a closet with a small cellar space as well as a toilet. The long hallway is finished with attractive wainscoting that adds character to the space and leads through to the main living area. This bright living room benefits from a high ceiling, a beautiful oak wood floor, and a cozy wood burning stove that creates a warm atmosphere during the colder months. The open kitchen is positioned at the rear of the property and connects seamlessly with the living room. The kitchen is equipped with various built-in appliances for convenient meal preparation. Both the living room and the kitchen provide direct access to the city garden at the rear of the property. This outdoor space, while compact, offers a pleasant spot for reading a book, enjoying a morning coffee, or dining al fresco during warmer weather.
The first floor contains three bedrooms along with a full bathroom and a separate toilet. The main bedroom at the front of the property is notably spacious, extending across the full width of the house. The two additional bedrooms are positioned at the rear of this floor. The bathroom is centrally located on this level and is fitted with a bathtub, a walk-in shower, and a double sink vanity unit. A second toilet is located separately from the bathroom for added convenience.
The second floor has been thoughtfully configured to maximize the available space. The landing area on this level is spacious and bright thanks to a dormer window and a skylight, making it suitable for use as a multifunctional space. The current owner uses this area as a sports and hobby room. From the landing, access is provided to a second bathroom and a fourth bedroom. This second bathroom features a walk-in shower and a toilet. The fourth bedroom has been made particularly generous in size due to a raised rear wall construction. This room includes its own sink vanity unit and is currently used by the owner as an art studio, demonstrating its versatility. The listing notes that there is also a possibility to create a fifth bedroom if desired.
Both upper floors benefit from a distinctive character created by the exposed wooden beams and wooden floorboards. The multiple windows on these levels ensure that plenty of natural daylight enters the spaces throughout the day.
In terms of technical specifications, the property was originally built in 1920 and features a composite roof covered with bituminous roofing material and tiles. The energy label is currently rated as D. The property has been improved with roof insulation, wall insulation, and double glazing throughout, with the exception of the stained glass windows which have been preserved for their historical character. A notable recent upgrade is the new central heating boiler installed in 2025, which is a Nefit NxT HRC24 CW4 gas-fired combi boiler owned by the property. Additionally, a solar boiler system is installed to contribute to hot water production, and the property features solar collectors.
The total volume of the property is 529 cubic meters, and it sits on a plot of 79 square meters. The rear garden measures 15 square meters with dimensions of approximately 5.14 meters in depth and 2.89 meters in width, oriented towards the southeast to benefit from afternoon and evening sunlight.
Parking in the area is managed through a permit system with paid parking available for visitors. The property is offered at an asking price of 895,000 euros, which translates to approximately 6,259 euros per square meter of living space. The property is available for viewing and the transfer terms are negotiable. The cadastral designation is ABSTEDE B 1983 with full ownership.
This property represents an opportunity to acquire a larger-than-average home in one of Utrecht's most desirable residential neighborhoods, combining period character with practical modern updates and an unbeatable location close to all urban amenities.
