Spacious end house with practice room near Merwedekanaal
Key Features
Upsides
- Energy label A combined with district heating and full insulation (roof, walls, double glazing) makes this a highly energy-efficient home with low ongoing energy costs.
- The ground floor extension with a separate entrance provides a versatile practice room or home office space, a feature that is increasingly valuable for remote workers and professionals.
- The southwest-facing rear garden with a wooden veranda, spacious storage shed, and green landscaping offers a private and sunny outdoor space for relaxation and storage.
- The location near a fast tram stop, City Plaza shopping center, a park, and major arterial roads ensures excellent daily convenience and accessibility.
- The property comes with the option to take over the entire furniture and inventory, potentially offering a ready-to-move-in situation for buyers seeking a turnkey solution.
Downsides
- The property has only 3 bedrooms, which may be insufficient for larger families or households requiring more sleeping spaces.
- The timber frame construction method, while energy-efficient, may present challenges for certain renovations or modifications compared to traditional brick construction.
- A flat roof covered with bituminous roofing material was listed, and such roofs typically require more frequent maintenance and may carry a higher risk of leaks compared to pitched roofs.
- The property is located in Nieuwegein (Jutphaas), and while well-connected, it is not in the heart of a major city, which could mean longer commute times for those working in larger urban centers.
- Public parking only is available, which may be a disadvantage for households with multiple vehicles or those who frequently host visitors.
