Description
This corner house, located in the Zenderpark district of IJsselstein, presents a well-maintained and instant move-in ready single-family home. Situated on a child-friendly courtyard, or 'hofje', the property offers a secure and community-oriented environment ideal for families. Parking is convenient, with ample spaces available on the courtyard itself and on the adjacent Statensingel, while major exit roads lie just around the corner for easy car access to regional routes.
Externally, the house was built in 1998 and features a shed roof design. It has been upgraded over the years with a new kitchen, toilet room, and bathroom, ensuring modern standards. A defining characteristic is the large glass panels incorporated into the facades, which flood all interior spaces with natural light, creating a bright and welcoming atmosphere. The plot spans 107 square meters, including a private east-facing backyard measuring 28 square meters (4.50 meters deep and 6.30 meters wide). This garden receives morning sunlight, perfect for outdoor activities or gardening. Additionally, a substantial roof terrace of nearly 17 square meters is accessible from the parents' bedroom on the first floor, providing a private outdoor retreat for relaxation. A wooden storage shed is located in the garden for practical storage needs.
Upon entering, the ground floor consists of an entrance hall with a meter cupboard and a modern separate toilet. The hall provides access to a versatile extra room of 8 square meters, which includes a door to the garden. This space can function as a home office, guest bedroom, or children's playroom, with garden access enhancing its utility. The central hall opens into the combined living and kitchen area, totaling 48.5 square meters. Large sliding glass panels in the front facade maximize light inflow and create a visual connection with the outdoors. The open kitchen is equipped with a cooking island and built-in appliances: a dishwasher, induction cooktop, extractor hood, and combi oven. A separate American-style Smeg refrigerator-freezer is included in the sale. The entire ground floor is finished with herringbone parquet flooring and benefits from underfloor heating, ensuring comfort and an elegant aesthetic.
A staircase from the living room leads to the first floor, featuring a light landing with laminate flooring. This level houses three bedrooms and a modern, spacious bathroom. The parents' bedroom measures 11.5 square meters and is fitted with air conditioning for climate control. It also offers direct access to the roof terrace, seamlessly extending living space outdoors. The other two bedrooms provide flexible accommodation for family or guests. The bathroom is a highlight, with a walk-in shower, a freestanding bath, an extra-wide sink cabinet, and a second toilet. Adjacent to the landing, a separate laundry room is equipped with a utility sink, and a dedicated cupboard houses the CV boiler, a Remeha Combi HR gas-fired combi boiler from 2016, which is owned by the property.
Access to the attic is via a pull-down ladder from the middle bedroom. The attic offers ample storage space, described as a 'sea of space', ideal for storing seasonal items like holiday decorations or luggage, keeping main living areas clutter-free.
Additional features enhance daily living: electric blinds on all bedroom windows for privacy and light control; fixed internet connections in every room supporting modern connectivity; mechanical ventilation for air quality; and comprehensive insulation including double glazing, roof insulation, wall insulation, and floor insulation. The energy label is B, reflecting efficient energy use and cost savings.
