Spacious Life-Cycle Proof Corner Home with Two Bathrooms and Driveway in Vianen
Key Features
Upsides
- The home features a practical life-cycle proof layout with a bedroom and bathroom situated on the ground floor, making it suitable for multi-generational living or aging in place.
- Recent significant upgrades include a modern kitchen installed in 2023 and a new central heating boiler installed in 2024.
- Residents benefit from a quiet location near nature in a popular neighborhood while still enjoying excellent accessibility to major highways A2 and A27 for commuting to cities like Utrecht and Den Bosch.
- The property offers ample flexibility and space with two full bathrooms, a spacious landing that could serve as an extra room, and a large attic suitable for conversion into additional bedrooms.
Downsides
- The energy label is B, which indicates a decent level of insulation but is not the highest rating possible compared to modern ultra-energy-efficient homes.
- The carport provides cover for vehicles but does not offer the full security and enclosure of a traditional lockable garage.
- While the text mentions two bedrooms on the first floor and potential in the attic, buyers specifically looking for four immediately ready bedrooms might find the attic requires work to realize its full potential.
- The garden is located on the southeast, meaning it receives morning and afternoon sun, but may miss the intense evening sun that some garden enthusiasts prefer.
Description
This life-cycle proof residence is situated in the popular Amaliastein neighborhood in Vianen and features a private driveway. Homes with this specific configuration appear on the market only sporadically.

This suitability stems from the presence of a bedroom and a bathroom located on the ground floor.
