Classical Monument Mansion with Spacious Living Kitchen and Deep Southwest-Facing Garden

This distinctive semi-detached mansion is situated on the Albrandswaardsedijk in Poortugaal, within the Polder Albrandswaard area. Built in 1920, the property holds municipal monument status and retains numerous authentic details that reflect the architectural style of its era. The residence is located on a dead-end section of the dike, which means there is no through traffic passing by the front of the house. The elevated position of the dijk combined with the open surroundings provides a clear and unobstructed view from the property.

The exterior presents the characteristic facade of a classical herenhuis, with proportions and details that immediately convey a sense of grandeur. The property is classified as a two-under-one-roof dwelling (twee-onder-een-kapwoning), sharing one wall with the neighboring house while maintaining its own distinct identity and presence. The roof structure consists of a composite roof covered with bituminous roofing material and tiles.

Upon entering the property, visitors are greeted by an entrance hall that sets the tone for the entire residence. The staircase in the hallway has been carefully preserved and maintained in a style consistent with the original character of the building. Large windows in the stairwell area allow natural light to flow into this central space, creating a bright and welcoming atmosphere upon arrival.

The ground floor living room is a generous space featuring high ceilings with subtle decorative moldings, large windows, and a sizable fireplace that serves as a focal point in the room. The dimensions and proportions of this room provide ample space for a comfortable seating arrangement while maintaining the elegant atmosphere befitting a property of this caliber.

At the rear of the original structure, a substantial extension has been added to accommodate the living kitchen. This addition significantly expands the usable living space on the ground floor. The kitchen is described as comprehensively equipped and features a large skylight overhead that brings abundant natural light into the space. The layout allows for a long dining table that could comfortably seat twelve people, making this area suitable for entertaining guests and family gatherings.

From the kitchen, access is provided to a utility room which in turn connects to the basement, offering additional storage capacity below ground level. The kitchen also provides direct access to the attached garage, which is constructed of brick and features double doors at both the front and rear. This configuration creates an internal passage that can serve as a convenient route to the back garden when carrying out larger garden tasks or moving items. The garage has electricity and running water connected.

Adjacent to the kitchen, a raised terrace with a canopy structure has been created. This outdoor living space includes an outdoor fireplace, allowing the area to be used comfortably during cooler periods. The terrace overlooks the backyard, which has been landscaped with attention to detail and features a variety of greenery.

The backyard measures 168 square meters with dimensions of 17.45 meters in depth and 9.60 meters in width. The garden is oriented to the southwest, which is a favorable orientation in terms of sunlight exposure throughout the day. The depth of the plot and the presence of greenery behind the property create a setting that offers both sunny spots and shaded areas, as well as a sense of privacy and tranquility.

The first floor is reached via the staircase from the entrance hall and opens onto a spacious landing. On this level, three bedrooms are situated, ranging in size from a practical children's room to a more spacious master bedroom. The first bathroom on this floor is fitted with a walk-in shower, a second toilet, and a double sink. Storage space is available under the staircase leading to the upper floor.

The second floor currently has a relatively open layout, offering flexibility for the new owner to configure this space according to their preferences. With relatively minor modifications, this level could be transformed into a bedroom suite with an en-suite bathroom and a walk-in closet. The floor is characterized by ample storage space and a high degree of privacy.

In terms of energy efficiency, the property has been assigned an energy label D. Insulation measures that have been implemented include roof insulation and double glazing. Heating and hot water are provided by a Remeha gas-fired combination boiler installed in 2020, which is owned rather than rented. The property also has solar panels installed, which contribute to reduced energy costs.

The total living area measures 172 square meters, supplemented by 29 square meters of other indoor space, 21 square meters of building-related outdoor space, and 15 square meters of external storage. The total volume of the building is 786 cubic meters. The plot covers 403 square meters and includes front, side, and rear gardens. A separate freestanding wooden storage shed with electricity is also present on the property.

Parking for residents is available in the public area surrounding the property.

An important aspect of this property is the leasehold status (erfpacht). The property is held on municipal leasehold with an end date of April 28, 2093. The leasehold payments have been paid off in advance until April 28, 2044. Buyers have the option to make an additional one-time payment to buy off the remaining leasehold period until the end date of 2093. The indicated amount for this additional buy-off is 4,600 euros, calculated according to the Historical Land Value Regulation (Historische Grondwaarde Regeling). This option remains available to the buyer for up to two months after the date of transfer. Additionally, five years after such an additional buy-off, the buyer can apply for full leasehold conversion to freehold ownership.

The property is offered at an asking price of 850,000 euros, which translates to approximately 4,942 euros per square meter of living space. The transfer is available in consultation (in overleg), allowing flexibility regarding the moving date.

This residence combines the character and architectural qualities of a municipal monument with practical modern amenities and a spacious layout. The location on the dike provides a distinctive setting, while the various outdoor spaces including the terrace with canopy and fireplace enhance the living experience. The property offers potential buyers the opportunity to acquire a home with historical significance that has been maintained with care and attention to its original features.
