Spacious corner house with garage and stunning garden in Nijmegen
Key Features
Upsides
- Exceptional outdoor space: The 112 m² garden is a standout feature, offering privacy, a beautiful pond, and potential for a swimming pool. The large covered terrace creates an ideal entertainment area throughout most of the year.
- Practical family layout: Three full bedrooms, a separate laundry room, and a spacious bathroom with both bathtub and walk-in shower provide comfortable living for a family. The ground floor offers excellent living and dining space.
- Valuable parking and storage: The freestanding stone garage combined with a large driveway that can accommodate multiple vehicles, secured behind a gate, offers practical solutions for parking and storage needs.
- Climate control and convenience features: Air conditioning in the living room and master bedroom, roller shutters throughout, and modern appliances in the kitchen add significant comfort and livability to the property.
- Corner position benefits: The corner location provides garden access on multiple sides, enhancing the sense of space and privacy while allowing sunlight to reach the property from different angles throughout the day.
Downsides
- Energy performance concerns: The property has an energy label D rating, which is mediocre by current standards and may result in higher energy costs or renovation requirements in the future.
- Rented central heating system: The Remeha central heating boiler from 2021 is rented rather than owned, meaning ongoing monthly costs of approximately 25 euros that do not contribute to property equity.
- Age of construction: Built in 1966, the property is nearly 60 years old, which may entail future maintenance costs and potential modernization needs for systems and structure.
- Limited living space: With only 100 m² of living area, the property may feel cramped for larger families, despite having three bedrooms and three floors.
- Kitchen location and size: The kitchen is positioned in the extension at the rear of the property, which may not suit all preferences, and the listing does not specify the exact kitchen size.
Description
This charming corner house is situated on a quiet street in the city of Nijmegen, offering remarkably spacious living quarters combined with generous outdoor areas that are rarely found at this price point. Built in 1966, this property presents an excellent opportunity for families seeking a comfortable home with room to grow and enjoy outdoor living.
The ground floor welcomes you with a practical entrance hall featuring a toilet and staircase leading to the first floor. A spacious cellar closet provides valuable additional storage space for household items and provisions. The living room is bright and generously proportioned, with large windows allowing natural light to flood the space throughout the day. There is ample room for a comfortable seating area with television setup, and between the living room and kitchen, there is plenty of space for a large dining table accommodating six to eight guests. For enhanced comfort during warmer months, the living room is equipped with air conditioning. Throughout most of the house, roller shutters have been installed for privacy and temperature control.
The kitchen is located in the extension at the rear of the property and has been practically designed with extensive countertop and storage space. The kitchen comes equipped with a Boretti five-burner gas cooker, dishwasher, refrigerator, freezer, and range hood, providing everything needed for daily meal preparation and entertaining.
The first floor contains two spacious bedrooms. The bedroom at the rear is large enough to accommodate a double bed and wardrobe, and features air conditioning for added comfort.

The garden has been attractively landscaped and features a beautiful pond that potentially offers opportunities for creating a swimming pool.
Under the spacious covered terrace, there is plenty of room for a lounge area, large dining table, and even an outdoor kitchen, allowing you to comfortably enjoy outdoor living throughout most of the year.
The property also features a large driveway with ample parking space. There is sufficient room for multiple cars or even a van. The driveway is enclosed by a gate, providing secure and private parking. The freestanding stone garage offers additional storage or hobby space.
