Description
This semi-detached house was built around 1930 and is located on Capelseweg in Capelle aan den IJssel. The property has a living area of approximately 84 square meters with an additional 18 square meters of external storage space. The total plot measures 221 square meters and the building has a volume of 298 cubic meters.
The ground floor layout is distinctive because the entrance is situated at the rear of the property. Upon entering through the back door, you reach the hallway which provides access to a toilet room equipped with a wall-mounted toilet and a small sink. The hallway also contains a practical laundry cabinet that houses the washing machine and dryer connections.
The kitchen area benefits from excellent natural light thanks to large windows and a skylight in the roof. The kitchen features a straight layout with high-end appliances including a Bora induction cooktop with integrated extraction, a Quooker instant boiling water tap, a dishwasher, a combination oven, and a refrigerator.
Also located on the ground floor is a spacious bathroom featuring a shower cabin, a corner bathtub, a double vanity unit, a designer radiator, an extraction system, and recessed spotlights. The living room is a comfortable space with high ceilings and large windows allowing plenty of natural light. There is ample room for both a large dining table and a spacious sofa arrangement. The living room has underfloor heating and is finished with laminate flooring.
The first floor features a bright landing that currently serves as a walk-in closet but could function as a home office workspace. This area is equipped with air conditioning that can both cool and heat the space. The first floor contains two comfortable and light bedrooms, both of which benefit from clever storage solutions that utilize the space under the roof structure.
The outdoor space includes a backyard measuring 96 square meters with a depth of 17 meters and a width of 5.66 meters. The garden faces northeast and is accessible via a rear path. There is also a front garden and a side garden. A freestanding wooden shed provides additional storage space. A canopy structure extends the usability of the outdoor space during varying weather conditions.
Parking is available on the property via a private driveway, and an electric vehicle charging station has been installed on the premises. Additional public parking is available in the immediate vicinity.
The property features double glazing throughout, with some windows upgraded to HR++ type glass. The heating system consists of a central heating boiler (Intergas Kompakt HRE CW4 from 2023) which is rented rather than owned, supplemented by partial underfloor heating in the living room. The property has an energy label E rating.
The location offers various amenities and connectivity options. The property is situated near the Schollebos nature area, providing direct access to green recreational space. Shopping Center De Koperwiek is approximately 4 minutes away by bicycle, while the first metro stop can be reached in 5 minutes. Capelle Schollevaar train station is an 8-minute bike ride away. The area also offers shops along the Bermweg, schools, childcare facilities, sports clubs, and dining options. The larger Alexandrium Shopping Center and Woonmall Alexandrium are approximately 10 minutes by bicycle. For motorists, the property provides access to the A16, A20, and N219 highways.
The semi-detached house configuration means the property shares one wall with an adjacent home, which is typical for this type of Dutch residential architecture from the 1930s period. The roof is a traditional gable roof covered with tiles. The building has two residential levels.
The kitchen installation includes a Bora cooktop which integrates the extraction system directly into the cooking surface, eliminating the need for a traditional overhead extractor hood. The Quooker provides instant access to boiling water for cooking and beverage preparation.
The bathroom placement on the ground floor is relatively uncommon for Dutch homes of this era, where bathrooms are typically found on the upper floor. This ground floor bathroom arrangement could be convenient for residents who prefer to avoid stairs for daily hygiene routines.
The air conditioning system on the first floor landing provides both cooling and heating capabilities, offering climate control flexibility throughout the seasons. This feature is not standard in many Dutch residential properties of this age.
The energy performance rating of E indicates moderate energy efficiency. While the property has been partially upgraded with HR++ glazing on some windows, the overall insulation level suggests potential for further energy efficiency improvements.
The rented central heating boiler arrangement means that the new owner would take over the existing rental agreement for the heating system rather than owning the equipment outright. This represents an ongoing monthly expense that potential buyers should consider.
The garden orientation to the northeast means that the backyard receives morning sun but may have limited afternoon and evening sunlight exposure. The 17-meter depth provides a long garden for an 84-square-meter home, offering space for outdoor activities.
The proximity to the Schollebos nature area provides opportunities for walking, cycling, and outdoor recreation. The combination of natural surroundings with urban convenience is a characteristic feature of this location.
The public transport connections include bus stops and a train station within cycling distance. Metro connections are also accessible, providing links to the broader Rotterdam metropolitan area.
Traffic noise from the Capelseweg, described as a busy road, is a consideration for potential buyers. The orientation of the entrance to the rear of the property may partially affect noise levels in the living spaces.
All measurements and surface areas are indicative and based on the NEN2580 measurement standard. The property is held in full ownership with the cadastral designation CAPELLE AAN DEN IJSSEL A 3431.
