Characteristic 1930s Corner Home with Modern Extensions and Multifunctional Annex

This property presents itself as a distinctive corner residence located in the Visbuurt neighborhood of Den Helder. Originally constructed in 1930 as a modest bay window house, the building has been thoughtfully extended and renovated over the years to become a surprisingly complete and contemporary home. The characteristic foundation remains evident throughout, particularly in the stained glass features found in the bay window, while the overall living comfort has clearly been brought up to modern standards.

The ground floor has been executed with a concrete and stone base, which includes what is described as a bread roll floor with underfloor heating in the living area. This construction method provides a solid and future proof foundation. Underfloor heating is present in most of the living areas, contributing to pleasant and evenly distributed warmth throughout the ground level.

The finishing touches align well with this quality base. A herringbone pattern PVC floor was installed in 2024, running continuously through to the kitchen and toilet areas, creating a sense of unity and calm throughout the space. The walls and ceilings in the hallway, entrance, living room, kitchen, and toilet were plastered in 2025, providing an ideal surface for applying personal decorative choices whether one prefers subtle tones or more pronounced colors.

The living room features a bay window on one side and French doors opening to the garden on the other. This configuration offers ample space for arranging furniture in an open layout while still maintaining a connection to the kitchen that feels somewhat separated. The kitchen occupies its own corner position, partially hidden from direct view of the living room. In the passage leading to the kitchen, a practical stair closet provides additional storage. The kitchen itself is arranged with a sink and cooking island setup and comes equipped with standard built in appliances including an induction cooktop from 2024, extractor hood, dishwasher from 2024, oven from 2025, refrigerator, and freezer. The island incorporates a sunken sink and an attractive stone worktop, with a bar area created at one end for casual dining or morning coffee.

Near the kitchen, a modern toilet is situated with a small window for natural ventilation. Adjacent to this is the extension, currently arranged as a multifunctional space. The current owner used this area as a home bar, but the space lends itself to various transformations. The listing suggests possibilities such as a home office, personal gym, or even a home based business like a hair salon or beauty studio. Water and drainage connections are already present in this area, which means converting it to additional living space or even a ground floor bedroom with bathroom is achievable without major structural changes. This flexibility also makes the property suitable for age in place living arrangements. On the roof of this extension, fourteen solar panels were installed in 2022, contributing to lower energy costs and a more sustainable household.

The upper floor continues the well maintained character of the property. Because the rear of the house was built straight up, this level offers two well proportioned bedrooms. The modern bathroom is finished with clean tile work and includes a walk in shower with a glass partition, both a rain shower and a hand shower, a double vanity with two separate faucets, a bathroom mirror with integrated lighting, and a designer radiator. A particularly appealing feature is that the bathroom has windows, allowing natural daylight and ventilation. Additionally, a separate second toilet is located on this floor, separated from the bathroom, which adds practical comfort for daily use.

Storage options are plentiful throughout the property. These include the stair closet on the ground floor, built in cabinets, a particularly spacious built in storage room, and an attic space accessible via a pull down ladder.

Outside, the property offers both a front and back garden typical for this type of residence. The front garden is currently unfenced but still provides a degree of privacy due to the distance between the house and the sidewalk. Buyers could enhance this privacy further with a small gate or fence if desired. The street itself has a notably quiet character because it is a dead end for car traffic, meaning only local destination traffic passes through.

The rear garden is largely paved and therefore low maintenance. For a property of this type and price category, the amount of outdoor space is surprisingly generous. The positioning allows for afternoon and evening sun exposure. The listing suggests relatively simple ways to add more atmosphere and personal character, such as adding artificial or real grass, placing planters with greenery or small trees, or painting the existing concrete fence with specialized concrete paint in a fresh color like white. A back alley provides access to the rear of the property, completing the practical aspects of the outdoor space. The multifunctional extension is accessible both through the back garden and via French doors on the side of the building.

Parking is available freely in the immediate vicinity without the need for a permit. A Vomar supermarket is located approximately 220 meters away, reachable by a three minute walk. The central train station is about 1000 meters distant, which translates to roughly fifteen minutes walking or five minutes by bicycle. The dune area and beach of Huisduinen can be reached in approximately fifteen minutes by bicycle. Den Helder offers a variety of sports clubs, associations, and gyms reflecting the active lifestyle of its residents.

The heating system consists of an Intergas central heating boiler from 2018, which is owned rather than rented. Heat distribution occurs through radiators and the previously mentioned underfloor heating on the ground floor. The property has double glazing throughout and holds an energy label D rating. The electrical panel is equipped with circuit breakers as standard.

The asking price for this property with its considerable multifunctional space is set at 245,000 euros, with buyer costs applicable. The usable floor area measures approximately 115 square meters, the plot size is approximately 175 square meters, and the gross volume is approximately 428 cubic meters. These measurements have been taken according to the industry wide measurement instruction and recorded in a measurement certificate. The property is available immediately, meaning a summer move in date is possible.
