Description
This terraced family home is situated in a child-friendly residential neighborhood and offers an excellent foundation for first-time buyers or young families. The property features a deep backyard, four bedrooms across three floors, and a convenient location close to various amenities including schools, shops, and sports facilities.
The front of the property presents an inviting appearance with a green front garden measuring three meters in depth. Tall trees provide a sense of privacy and create a pleasant, somewhat secluded atmosphere. The front garden also has a water connection for easy maintenance of the plantings.
Entering through the front door, you arrive in the hallway which provides access to the meter cupboard, the staircase to the upper floors, a closet under the stairs, and the toilet. The meter cupboard is well-equipped with six circuit groups, two earth leakage switches, smart meters, and a fiber optic connection. The toilet has been finished with gray-white tiles and features a wall-hung toilet and a small sink.
The closed kitchen covers an area of seven square meters and is practically laid out. Along one wall, there is a kitchen cabinet with built-in appliances including a refrigerator-freezer combination, an oven, a four-burner gas hob, and an extractor hood. On the opposite side, there is a work surface that provides space for loose appliances such as a dishwasher, a trash bin, and additional workspace. A fixed cabinet offers extra storage for kitchen supplies. Recessed spotlights in the ceiling provide pleasant lighting.
The living room is a through-room design measuring twenty-six square meters, allowing for plenty of natural light to enter from both the front and back. At the rear, there is a wide sliding door that opens onto the backyard, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. The room offers ample space for a comfortable seating area and a large dining table. The walls are finished with spachtelputz plaster and the floor features farmhouse tiles.
The first floor contains three bedrooms and a bathroom. At the rear of the house, there are two bedrooms. The first bedroom measures seven and a half square meters and includes a closet for clothing storage. The second bedroom at the rear is the main bedroom, measuring thirteen square meters, and also features built-in closets and recessed ceiling spotlights.
The front bedroom on this floor measures eleven square meters and benefits from large windows that make it a bright space. This room also has built-in closets and a laminate floor.
The bathroom is tiled in neutral white-gray tiles and is equipped with a vanity unit, a towel radiator, and a walk-in shower with a thermostatic faucet.
The second floor features a landing with ample storage space. In a separate boiler room, you will find the central heating boiler, a Nefit HR model installed in 2023. This space also provides additional storage.
The attic room measures eleven square meters and functions as a full-fledged fourth bedroom. At the front, there is storage space behind the knee walls. Currently, the room receives daylight through a small roof window, but the listing notes that a new skylight or dormer window could easily be installed to create additional light and space.
The backyard faces north and has a depth of nearly ten meters. In the summer months, the second part of the garden receives plenty of sunlight, while the area near the house offers shade on warm days, which can be quite pleasant. The garden is well-maintained and has a playful layout with a water connection available.
At the rear of the garden stands a detached stone shed measuring seven square meters. This shed has electricity and provides space for bicycles and garden tools. Alongside the shed, you can access the rear path, which leads in two directions to the public road.
The property is largely fitted with low-maintenance plastic window frames with double glazing. The energy label is C. The central heating system provides both heating and hot water and was installed in 2023, which is a significant advantage as it means the heating system is essentially new.
The neighborhood is particularly suitable for families with young children. At the end of the street, there is a large playground with a playing field. Additionally, there are more playgrounds in the vicinity on Archimedesstraat and Voltastraat, featuring play equipment and sports fields.
Primary schools, secondary schools, and the neighborhood shopping center Albert Plesmanplein are all within close distance. The shopping center includes two supermarkets, a bakery, and a drugstore, making daily shopping very convenient.
Parking is available on public roads in the area.
The property was built in 1970 and has a gable roof covered with tiles. The total usable living area is eighty-seven square meters, with an additional twenty square meters of indoor storage space and seven square meters of external storage in the shed. The plot covers one hundred thirty square meters and the volume of the house is three hundred sixty-four cubic meters.
This home offers a solid foundation with various possibilities to modernize it according to personal taste and preferences. The combination of a practical layout, a deep garden, good facilities in the immediate vicinity, and a recently installed heating system makes this an interesting option for starters looking for a home in a family-friendly environment.
