Description
This semi-detached house, built in 1980, is located in a quiet street in Putte and offers a living area of 132 square meters on a plot of 363 square meters. The property features four bedrooms, making it suitable for families or those seeking more space. The asking price is 419,000 euros, which translates to approximately 3,174 euros per square meter of living space.
Upon entering through the hallway, you reach the spacious living room measuring 32 square meters. The front of this room features large glass panels that allow natural light to enter the space. From the living room, there is access to the semi-open kitchen of 14 square meters, which provides sufficient workspace for meal preparation. Adjacent to the kitchen is a utility room of 5 square meters that houses connections for a washing machine and dryer, with direct access to the backyard.
The first floor contains three bedrooms with sizes of 14, 11, and 9 square meters respectively. One of the bedrooms features a loggia, which is also accessible from the bathroom. The bathroom spans nearly 8 square meters and has a modern appearance with a shower, a second toilet, a vanity unit with double sink, and underfloor heating.
A fixed staircase leads to the second floor where the fourth bedroom measuring 5 square meters is located. This floor also provides access to a storage area that houses the central heating system.
The outdoor spaces are a notable feature of this property. At the front, there is a driveway with parking space for two vehicles. A detached stone garage of 20 square meters is available, equipped with electricity and offering space for one car. The main garden is located at the rear and covers 178 square meters. This south-facing garden receives sunlight throughout the day. A prominent feature is the large veranda measuring 36 square meters, providing covered outdoor living space.
The location offers several advantages. The property is situated in a quiet residential area while remaining close to amenities. The center of Putte with its shopping facilities is a few minutes away. A primary school is within walking distance, as are sports clubs and the multifunctional center De Biezen.
Nature enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to the Kalmthoutse heide nature reserve, with its forests and heathland offering walking and cycling routes. The property is also close to the Belgian border, providing easy access to nearby Antwerp.
The property has an energy label C and features double glazing throughout. Heating and hot water are provided by a Vaillant combi boiler from 2016, which runs on gas and is owned rather than rented. Fiber optic and TV cables are available at the property.
The listing notes that modernization would be logical, indicating that while the property is well-maintained, some updates may be desired by future owners. The garage is noted as having no insulation, which is a consideration for those planning to use it as a workshop or heated space.
The layout of the ground floor connects the living room and semi-open kitchen in a practical arrangement for daily family life. The utility room keeps laundry appliances separate while providing convenient garden access. The bedroom sizes on the first floor are distributed to accommodate a master bedroom and additional rooms for children, guests, or a home office.
The bathroom with underfloor heating and modern finishes adds comfort to the upper floor. The second toilet on this level is convenient for a family household. The loggia attached to one bedroom provides a private outdoor space on the upper floor.
The second floor, while more compact, provides valuable additional space. The fourth bedroom at 5 square meters could serve various purposes depending on the needs of the occupants. The storage area here houses the boiler and offers space for seasonal items.
The south-facing garden of 178 square meters is a considerable size for a semi-detached home. The 36 square meter veranda extends the living space outdoors and can be used for dining, relaxing, or entertaining regardless of weather conditions.
The detached garage adds practical and security value. With electricity connected, it can serve for vehicle storage or as a workshop. The driveway provides additional parking capacity.
The location in Putte offers access to both natural areas and urban amenities. The Kalmthoutse heide nature reserve provides immediate opportunities for outdoor recreation. The proximity to the Belgian border may be advantageous for those who commute or travel to the Antwerp region.
The property was built in 1980 during a period of solid residential construction. The energy label C indicates a reasonable level of energy efficiency, with potential for further improvement. The double glazing contributes to insulation and comfort.
The Vaillant combi boiler from 2016 is a relatively modern heating system. As an owned boiler, there are no ongoing rental costs associated with this essential system.
The property is available for transfer through negotiation, and the ownership situation is full ownership as recorded in the cadastral register under PUTTE B 2929.
