Character-rich 1930s terraced house with four bedrooms, completely renovated in 2022/2023

This charming terraced house at Borrostraat 13 in Zutphen was built in 1934 and represents the best of Dutch 1930s architecture. The property has been fully renovated in 2022/2023, meaning that while the home now meets modern living standards, much of its original character has been lovingly preserved. Original panel doors, en-suite doors with stained glass, marble fireplaces and high ornamental ceilings create a warm and atmospheric living environment that is rare to find in move-in ready condition.

The house offers 103 square metres of living space across three floors, plus a cellar, on a plot of 113 square metres. The layout is practical and versatile, making it suitable for a wide range of buyers, including families.

On the ground floor, you enter through a handsome front door into a long hallway with a high ceiling and a staircase leading to the first floor. The hallway provides access to the living room, kitchen, a toilet and a portal with a staircase leading to the wine and storage cellar. The living room spans over 8 metres, with the dining area at the front and the sitting area at the rear, though this arrangement can easily be reversed. The sitting area features high ornamental ceilings, stained glass windows, marble fireplaces and built-in cupboards on both sides of the double glazed garden doors. The kitchen is bright and spacious due to its light colour scheme. It has a kitchen wall unit spanning approximately 3 metres with a wood veneer worktop, complemented by a drawer unit on the opposite side. Built-in appliances include a gas hob, extractor hood, oven, microwave, dishwasher and fridge-freezer combination. Both the kitchen and living room provide access to the rear garden.

The first floor is equally charming. The original panel doors have been retained and a beautiful floor has been installed. The large windows allow plenty of natural light to flood in. There are three bedrooms on this floor. The master bedroom features two built-in cupboards, while the large bedroom at the front also has a built-in cupboard. The third bedroom is suitable as a nursery, study or dressing room. The landing includes a built-in cupboard with space for a washing machine and tumble dryer. The spacious bathroom is accessed from the landing and features a large bathtub under the window, a luxurious rain shower, a toilet and a double vanity unit with two sinks. The tiling is attractive, as are the taps and mirrors. Underfloor heating is installed in the bathroom for added comfort.

From the fixed staircase you reach the second floor, which is surprisingly spacious, bright and beautifully finished. Here you will find a multifunctional room with built-in shelving, a kitchen unit with a sink and a large roof window. With a ceiling height of 2.60 metres and a ridge height of 3.10 metres, this is a fully usable attic space. The room is suitable as a home office, hobby room or additional bedroom. Adjacent is the fourth bedroom, which, like the adjacent room, also has a large roof window at the rear. A beautiful wood-look floor has been laid throughout, and there is ample storage space behind the knee walls across the full width on both sides of the attic.

Both the front and rear gardens have been newly designed. The rear garden, newly laid out in 2025, is a particular highlight. It features two spacious terraces, a patch of lawn, decorative paving, wooden fencing and a pergola. The garden is large enough to accommodate a swing or hammock. For most of the day you can find a sunny spot in the Zutphen sun to lounge and dine with friends or family. The storage shed provides space for bicycles and there is a gate leading to the alley. The rear garden faces northeast, measures approximately 51 square metres (8.65 metres deep by 5.94 metres wide), and is accessible via the back.

Regarding the renovations, the property has undergone a comprehensive renovation in 2022/2023. This included a new kitchen in 2023, a new bathroom and toilet in 2022, new floors, interior painting and plastered walls. The boiler was replaced with a Remeha HR combi boiler in 2024 and is owned outright. Heating and hot water are provided by this boiler. In addition, there is partial underfloor heating in the bathroom. The house is equipped with 10 solar panels of 325 Wp each, installed in 2021. The wooden window frames have HR glass throughout. The exterior was painted in 2026, except for the underside of the roof overhangs.

The energy label is rated C. The property has been insulated with roof insulation, HR glass and floor insulation.

In terms of location, the property is situated on a quiet street in a well-established and popular neighbourhood near Helleraetplein. At the beginning of the street there is a supermarket, perfect for daily and forgotten groceries. There are several childcare facilities and several primary schools within walking distance, including a Steiner school. There are several playgrounds within walking distance, including a natural playground, and a playing field. A tennis club is just 2 minutes by bike. There is a bus stop on the Deventerweg and it is only 5 minutes by bike to the train station. This neighbourhood has been a very popular place to live for many years, and with good reason.

The property is offered at an asking price of 390,000 euros costs to buyer. This translates to 3,786 euros per square metre of living space. The property is available by mutual agreement. The house is connected to the public sewer, water and electricity networks. The property is registered in the land registry under Zutphen B 4428 and is held in full ownership.
