Unique 194 m² ground floor apartment with private garage in Delft city center

Located in the heart of the historic city of Delft, this property at Brabantse Turfmarkt 26 represents a unique living experience that combines historical charm with modern architectural design. The building, originally constructed in 1907, has a long and distinctive history. In 2010, the property underwent a complete transformation under the guidance of an architect, resulting in the modern and luxurious residence that stands today. The property is uniquely situated within the In de Veste area, placing it right in the bustling city center with all shops and restaurants just around the corner. Despite this central location, the home offers a surprising sense of tranquility and privacy, allowing residents to choose when they want to engage with the vibrancy of city life.

The property is remarkably deep, extending over 35 meters. This depth is cleverly utilized to create a spacious and dynamic living environment. The architects have incorporated intelligent solutions to manage natural light throughout the elongated floor plan. Specifically, a light tube and a large light street in the widest part of the house ensure that sunlight penetrates deep into the interior, giving the residence a surprising and pleasant character. This focus on light and space makes the home feel much larger and more open than one might expect from a city property.

The entrance to the home is flexible and can be accessed either from the front on the Brabantse Turfmarkt or from the rear via the Pieterstraat. Entering from the front, you are welcomed into a conservatory or garden room. This space is perfect for enjoying the afternoon sun while looking out over the canal. Due to its peaceful atmosphere and view, this room is also exceptionally well suited for use as a home office. Passing through the double aluminum doors, you enter the main living room. This room features a six meter long custom made cabinet wall with integrated lighting, which provides ample storage space as well as an excellent place to display art or objects. The layout is versatile, and the current living room space is large enough that the kitchen could potentially be relocated here if a new owner desired a different configuration.

Moving past the living area, you reach the wider section of the house. Here, the modern open kitchen is situated on a slightly higher level, creating a playful and dynamic spatial effect. A light street positioned above the countertop floods the kitchen with beautiful indirect light. Adjacent to the kitchen is a large utility room, which offers significant storage space and houses the connections for the washing machine and dryer. Following the kitchen and utility area is the dining room, which serves as the true heart of the home. This is a generous space that is ideal for hosting dinner parties, although it is also comfortable enough to serve as a secondary sitting area if preferred.

The layout of the home is thoughtfully designed to separate the living areas from the more private sleeping quarters. Beyond the dining area, you enter a transitional space where a toilet, a wardrobe, and an extra storage closet have been conveniently placed. A few steps lead down from this area to the sleeping section of the house. This level provides access to the attached garage, which is a rare and highly valuable feature for a property in the increasingly car free center of Delft. The garage is attached to the house and is spacious enough to accommodate any size car, while also providing extra storage room. It is here that the technical installations of the house are located, all of which were renewed in 2025.

The property contains two bedrooms. The master bedroom features an ensuite bathroom and a second toilet. There is a second bedroom, which is served by a separate guest bathroom. This second bedroom also has a door leading to the outdoor space behind the property. The outdoor area behind the garage is private and offers a peaceful spot to sit and enjoy the morning sun until lunch. This area is accessible via a narrow alleyway that borders the In de Veste shopping area, reinforcing the prime central location of the home. You are literally sitting in the heart of the city, yet in a private oasis.

In terms of sustainability, the property currently holds an energy label B. This rating is based on data from the most recent renovation. There is significant potential to improve this energy rating even further. For instance, the facade could receive extra insulation. The garage roof is an ideal location for installing solar panels, which the listing notes is easy to realize. There is also ample space in the garage to install a heat pump. The entire home is equipped with floor heating, with the exception of the garage. In addition to the floor heating, radiators have been installed under the windows as a backup system for harsh winters or for quickly heating up the rooms. These radiators are rarely needed. The home is described as being in very good condition and is ready for immediate habitation.

One of the most remarkable aspects of this property is its double zoning designation. This zoning opens up a wide range of possibilities for the future owner. While it is currently a luxurious single family home, it offers potential for alternative uses. The architect responsible for the initial transformation is involved in the sale and can assist potential buyers in exploring these options. The property could be adapted to function as an office combined with a separate short stay apartment. Alternatively, it is possible to split the building into two separate apartments. This flexibility makes the property attractive not only to those looking for a unique home, but also to investors or entrepreneurs looking for a prime location with development potential.

The technical specifications of the property support its high quality. The building has a gross volume of 741 cubic meters and a living area of 194 square meters. The construction type is existing building from 1907 with a flat roof. The interior layout consists of five rooms in total, including two bedrooms. There are two bathrooms and one separate toilet.
