Description
This spacious and bright family home from the 1970s is situated on the edge of Zeist, in the popular and child-friendly neighborhood of Brugakker. The property offers four rooms that can serve as bedrooms, a sunny terrace and front yard facing southeast, a practical layout, and two private covered parking spaces. These features combined make this residence well suited for comfortable family living. The playful layout of the living floor and the high ceilings on the top floor give the home a pleasantly spacious feel throughout.
The house is located on the south side of the sought-after Brugakker district. The immediate surroundings include meadows and nature reserves managed by Utrechts Landschap, with various walking and cycling paths nearby. The renovated shopping center De Clomp, schools, sports facilities, and various arterial roads are all within a short distance. The Utrecht Science Park, the UMC Utrecht hospital, and the center of Zeist can all be reached quickly. Bus connections towards Utrecht and Driebergen-Zeist station are within walking distance, making this location highly accessible for commuters and families alike.
Entering the property, there is an indoor storage room next to the front door, which is ideal for storing multiple bicycles, tools, or serving as additional storage space. The entrance hall contains the meter cupboard and a very spacious stair cupboard. From the hall, there is access to a multifunctional room on the ground floor. This space is highly versatile and could serve excellently as a bedroom, home office, hobby room, or playroom, depending on the needs of the new owners.
The first floor features a spacious landing providing access to the separate toilet and the living room. The bright living room has a playful U-shaped layout and benefits from a balcony at the front of the property. The open kitchen at the rear offers ample space for a large dining table, making it perfect for family meals and entertaining. The kitchen is equipped with various built-in appliances, including a refrigerator with freezer compartment, combination microwave, dishwasher, sink, and induction cooktop. From the kitchen, the spacious and sunny southeast-facing terrace is accessible, providing a wonderful spot for outdoor dining or relaxing in the sun.
The second floor has a landing with connections for the washing machine, the central heating boiler, and access to three bedrooms. Thanks to the mansard roof design, the bedrooms at the front enjoy beautiful high ceilings, which create an extra sense of space. The bedroom at the rear has a skylight and practical knee walls with additional storage space. The well-maintained bathroom is equipped with a shower and a vanity unit.
The front yard faces southeast and has been attractively landscaped with greenery, offering a pleasant and inviting appearance. It provides a nice place to sit outside and enjoy the sun. It should be noted that the garden is tolerated for use but does not belong to the property, which is an important consideration for potential buyers.
Parking is well catered for at this property. In addition to the various public parking facilities in the area, the residence benefits from no fewer than two private covered parking spaces. This is a significant advantage in a residential area where parking can sometimes be challenging.
The property has several notable features worth mentioning. The exterior painting is scheduled to be carried out in 2026, which will help maintain the property's appearance. There is a possibility to create a passage from the hall to the carport, which could offer additional convenience. A measurement report and layout drawings are available, having been measured according to NEN standards, providing accurate information about the property's dimensions.
The living area measures 113 square meters, with an additional 9 square meters of indoor storage space and 25 square meters of outdoor space attached to the building. The total volume is 412 cubic meters. The plot size is 65 square meters. The property has an energy label C, with roof insulation and double glazing. Heating and hot water are provided by a Remeha Tzerra gas-fired combination boiler from 2020, which is owned rather than rented.
The home is equipped with various modern conveniences including exterior sun blinds, a skylight, fiber optic cable connection, mechanical ventilation, sliding doors, and TV cable. The property is a terraced house built in 1977 with a gable roof covered with tiles.
Potential buyers should be aware that an old age clause will be included in the purchase agreement, which is standard practice for properties of this vintage. The asking price is 450,000 euros, which equates to approximately 3,982 euros per square meter of living space. The property is currently available and delivery can take place soon, subject to consultation.
The Brugakker neighborhood is known for its family-friendly character and good amenities. The proximity to the Utrecht Science Park makes this location particularly attractive for those working in academia, research, or healthcare. The combination of a quiet residential setting with excellent connectivity to urban facilities creates a balanced living environment that appeals to many different types of households.
This property represents a solid family home in a desirable location, offering practical features such as the covered parking and flexible ground floor space, combined with the character typical of 1970s Dutch residential architecture.
