Description
This property offers a unique opportunity to reside in the peaceful village core of Marsum while enjoying the benefits of a substantial private plot. Situated at Binnenbuorren 9, the home provides an idyllic setting characterized by privacy and greenery. The large plot spans over 860 square meters and features a garage with a private driveway, as well as a spacious utility room suitable for a workshop, hobbies, or storage. This combination makes it an ideal location for a DIY enthusiast or a freelancer seeking proximity to the city without sacrificing a living environment connected to nature. While the exterior of the property is noted to be in excellent condition, the interior presents a project for renovation, allowing the new owner to transform it into a comfortable family home adapted to their specific tastes and needs. The location within a protected village view adds a historical charm to the setting.
Upon entering the ground floor, one finds a spacious entrance hall that features a sliding door opening to the backyard, providing immediate access to the outdoor space. The hall distributes traffic to the kitchen, living room, toilet, shower room with sink, and a utility room. The kitchen is separate and notably spacious, currently equipped with a somewhat dated setup that includes an oven, refrigerator, and a four-burner gas stove. Heating in this area is provided by a gas stove. Adjacent to the kitchen is the authentic living room, which retains character elements such as a beamed ceiling and a storage cabinet. This room is also heated by a gas stove, ensuring a cozy atmosphere. The utility room serves as a transition to a flexible space on the ground floor that is currently used as a bedroom or office space.
The first floor is accessible via a landing that offers significant storage space through built-in cupboards. From here, three bedrooms are accessible. These rooms are described as cozy and all feature extra thick glazing, contributing to comfort and noise reduction. The layout provides a solid foundation for a family home, with the flexibility to use the ground floor room for professional purposes or as an additional guest room.
The garden located behind the house is a significant feature, covering an area of more than 700 square meters. It is beautifully landscaped to combine privacy with a pleasant atmosphere. The sheltered terrace is positioned to enjoy long summer evenings and social gatherings with family and friends. The planting in the garden is lush and green, giving it a well-maintained and harmonious appearance. An existing animal shelter is present, ready for new inhabitants such as chickens or rabbits. For the dedicated hobbyist or professional, the property includes a very spacious stone workshop equipped with a workbench, electricity, and a storage attic. Adjacent to this is the garage with its driveway, offering parking for a car on private land.
Technical aspects of the property include a mix of flooring types, with concrete and wooden floors on the ground level and wooden flooring on the first floor. The central heating boiler for hot water supply is an Intergas model from 2021, which is rented. Heating for the rooms is provided by gas heaters. The roof is equipped with two solar panels from 2003, although their current functionality is not specified. The property is connected to a septic tank that overflows into the sewer system. Maintenance of the exterior paintwork is planned for 2025 on the front and 2024 for the rest.
