Spacious and light home with rural views in Lekboulevard

Bovenmonde 33 is a spacious and bright residence situated in an attractive location within the pleasant Lekboulevard district of Nieuwegein. This gasless property has been well maintained, requires minimal upkeep, and meets modern energy standards. The surrounding area offers excellent connectivity to major roads and public transportation options, making the location particularly appealing for commuters and those who value accessibility. The property features a building volume of 623 cubic meters and provides 185 square meters of living space along with 22 square meters of internal storage. A former garage has been repurposed to create additional functional rooms. The house contains nine rooms in total, including five bedrooms. A second kitchen has been installed on the first floor, which opens up numerous possibilities for the use of the space. This layout could suit large extended families, adult children living independently at home, care situations, shared living arrangements, home-based professional practices, or hobby activities. The design ensures that occupants can maintain their own spaces without feeling crowded. The ground floor begins with an entrance hall containing the meter cupboard and a toilet. From here, one enters the living room, which measures 36 square meters and is notable for the excellent natural light it receives. A half-open kitchen is positioned at the front of the house. This kitchen was designed and installed by the current owner and has recently been updated with a new refrigerator and induction cooktop. The kitchen area spans 16 square meters and overlooks the front garden and a quiet street without through traffic. This creates a safe environment for children to play outdoors. At the rear of the ground floor, the living area widens to take advantage of the open rural views. To the left stands a former farmhouse, while to the right one can see poplar trees along the Lekdijk. Sliding doors provide access to the rear garden, which extends the pleasant vista. The garden looks out toward a small play meadow where dogs are not permitted, adding to the peaceful atmosphere. Adjacent to the main living area is a garden room of 6 square meters that can serve as a quiet space for desk work, reading, or simply enjoying the birdlife that frequents this green garden. From this room, a door leads to the multifunctional space that was formerly the garage. This 14 square meter area was used as a workshop by the current owner but could equally function as an office, studio, or hobby room. It includes a kitchen unit with hot and cold water supply. Large double doors open to the driveway and street, and the space benefits from ample natural light through its windows. Another door from this area returns to the entrance hall. The first floor is reached via an open hardwood staircase that leads to a spacious landing. From here, one can access the second toilet, two bedrooms at the front of the house measuring 8.5 and 11 square meters respectively, and the master bedroom at the rear. The larger front bedroom has its own washbasin. Currently these front rooms are being used for storage purposes. The master bedroom spans 20 square meters and has a private door to the bathroom. Across the full width of the house, this bedroom offers an unobstructed view of the Lekdijk. The bathroom covers 6 square meters and is equipped with a bathtub, shower, double Alape vanity unit, and underfloor heating. Also accessible from the landing is a laundry room that doubles as a second kitchen, measuring 8.5 square meters. This space contains a stove, extractor hood, refrigerator, and a small dining area. The presence of this second kitchen makes the property suitable for accommodating lodgers or providing separate living quarters for family members. The washing machine and dryer are also located here. This room has views of both the street and the garden. Approximately 6 square meters of additional storage and closet space completes the first floor. The second floor is reached via a continuation of the staircase. The landing provides access to a shower room and a deep technical room housing the mechanical extraction system, the solar panel converter, and battery storage. Two doors lead to two very generous bedrooms that extend across the full width of the property. Each of these rooms has a total floor area of 20 square meters, with 12 square meters counted as official living space due to the sloped roof sections. The shape of these rooms allows for a practical separation between sleeping and living areas within each bedroom. Four large Velux roof windows provide abundant light and offer views of the surrounding area and the skyline of Vreeswijk. In terms of energy efficiency, Bovenmonde 33 holds an energy label A rating. The property is fully insulated, including the roof, walls, and floors, and features double glazing throughout, with the exception of the small panes in the front door. Heating and hot water are supplied through a district heating network, eliminating the need for a gas connection. This means there are no concerns about boiler maintenance or running out of hot water. Temperature is regulated through smart thermostats that can be controlled remotely. The roof hosts 24 solar panels divided between two systems on the east and west-facing roof surfaces. Together these generate approximately 6000 kilowatt hours of electricity annually. Currently about one third of this is used directly by the household. From 2026 onward, it will become possible to share or sell surplus electricity to third parties. The installation of batteries or an electric vehicle charging point are other options for further reducing energy costs. Ventilation is achieved through a combination of natural air intake and a smart mechanical extraction system. The location of Bovenmonde 33 is described as ideal, with major highways easily accessible without the property being too close to them. Public transport options are plentiful. Within walking distance, residents can choose between the fast tram service to Utrecht Central Station and Science Park, or various bus routes serving Utrecht, Zeist, Amersfoort, and the transport hub at Vianen. This connectivity makes the property suitable for those who travel regularly throughout the Netherlands for work or leisure. The Lekboulevard neighborhood benefits from its proximity to the river Lek, which contributes to a relaxed, spacious, and rural atmosphere. Green spaces, waterways, and locks blend harmoniously with the landscape, and the historic district of Vreeswijk adds character to the area. Local amenities include cafes and restaurants in the Dorpsstraat, which is just around the corner. The towns of IJsselstein and Vianen are nearby, and in summer months a ferry provides a pleasant crossing of the Lek. Beach areas at Tull and the Waal river are within easy reach, as is the Utrechtse Heuvelrug with its forested areas offering a different type of natural environment. A walk along the singel in central Utrecht takes about half an hour by fast tram. Practical facilities including education, sports, and recreational opportunities are well catered for in Nieuwegein. A shopping center and health center are within walking distance of the property. The current owner notes that the central location attracted clients from across the Netherlands and Belgium to his home-based practice over many years, with visitors frequently commenting on the beauty of the location.
