The property was originally built around 1954 and has been extended and renovated over the years to meet modern living standards. With a living area of 88 square meters, a plot of 243 square meters, and three bedrooms, this residence presents itself as a suitable option for starters and small families looking for a home in a quiet and child-friendly environment.

The location at Boekweitveld offers a pleasant living environment characterized by a friendly neighborhood with public green spaces and limited traffic. The property is situated on a quiet courtyard area (hofje) where children can play safely. This setting contributes to a relaxed and peaceful atmosphere that appeals to many home seekers looking for a residential area away from busy main roads.

The ground floor of the property has been thoughtfully arranged to maximize living comfort. Access to the home is possible through a side entrance leading to a covered terrace (overkapping) that can be locked. This covered outdoor space provides a sheltered area that can be used throughout the year for various purposes. From this area, there is access to a rear hallway that contains a hanging toilet with a washbasin and a designated space for the washing machine. This practical layout keeps laundry facilities separate from the main living areas.

The kitchen is located in the extension that was added to the rear of the property in 2010. This extension has been fully insulated to ensure energy efficiency. The kitchen is equipped with a range of built-in appliances including an oven, a five-burner gas hob, a refrigerator, a freezer, and a dishwasher. The kitchen also features a sliding door that provides access to the garden, allowing for natural light to enter and creating a connection between indoor and outdoor living spaces.

The living room is situated at the front of the property and features a laminate floor. This space provides a comfortable area for daily living and relaxation. The hallway on the ground floor houses the meter cupboard and provides access to the staircase leading to the first floor. An air conditioning unit was installed on the ground floor in 2025, contributing to a comfortable indoor climate during warmer months.

Via the covered terrace at the rear, there is also access to a separate hobby room. This multifunctional space offers numerous possibilities and can serve as a recreation room, workshop, or additional storage area depending on the needs of the residents. The presence of this extra room adds versatility to the property.

The first floor of the property consists of a landing and three bedrooms. All bedrooms are finished with laminate flooring. The bedroom at the front of the property has been fitted with a built-in closet wall and a manual roller shutter, providing both storage capacity and the ability to darken the room. The other two bedrooms offer flexible space that can be arranged according to personal preferences, whether as children's rooms, a study, or guest accommodation.

The bathroom on the first floor was renovated around 2011 and is equipped with a bathroom vanity unit, a hanging toilet, and a shower. While functional in its current state, the bathroom reflects the style of its renovation period and may offer opportunities for future personalization by new owners. An air conditioning unit installed in 2021 is present on this floor to help maintain comfortable temperatures during summer.

Regarding the technical specifications of the property, several improvements have been made over the years. Wall insulation was added around 2010, and the roof covering is approximately 15 years old. The windows throughout the main house feature plastic frames (kunststof kozijnen) with double glazing, while the extension has been fitted with HR++ glass for improved energy efficiency. The property has been assigned energy label D, which is typical for a home of this age and construction period.

Heating and hot water are provided by a Remeha gas-fired combination boiler that was installed in 2009. This boiler is owned by the current owners and will transfer to the new owner upon sale. Heat distribution is handled by radiators throughout the property. The home also features mechanical ventilation, fiber optic cable connection, and a TV cable connection.

The outdoor spaces of the property have been well maintained. At the front, there is a modest front garden. The driveway has been laid with clinker paving and offers parking space for multiple vehicles on the property's own grounds. The rear garden faces northeast and has been designed for easy maintenance. The garden is enclosed by recently renewed fences, providing privacy and a neat appearance. A wooden storage shed is present in the garden for storing gardening tools and other outdoor items. The covered terrace offers a sheltered spot to place garden furniture, allowing residents to enjoy the outdoors even during less favorable weather conditions.
