Description
The property is located at Chansondreef 65 in Harderwijk, specifically in the Muziekland IV area of the Drielanden neighborhood. This is a well-established residential area known for its pleasant living environment and family-friendly atmosphere. The house was built in 2005 and has been well maintained by the current owners, who have made several improvements over the years including the addition of a dormer window at the rear and the installation of ten solar panels in 2023.
The property is a terraced house designed in what is described as a thirties-style architecture, which gives it a classic and appealing appearance that fits well within the neighborhood. Despite being built in 2005, the design choices give the home a timeless character that has aged gracefully.
Upon entering the property, you are welcomed into a hallway that provides access to the meter cupboard and a toilet room with a small sink. The ground floor features an open plan layout combining the living room and kitchen. The living area is garden-oriented with sliding doors that open onto the terrace, allowing plenty of natural light to enter the space. The floor is finished with attractive tiles that add to the overall quality feel of the home.
The open kitchen is positioned at the street side and comes equipped with a comprehensive range of built-in appliances. The kitchen has a light color scheme that contributes to the bright and airy atmosphere of the ground floor. The entire ground floor benefits from underfloor heating, which provides comfortable and even heat distribution throughout the living spaces.
Moving to the first floor, you will find three bedrooms and a complete bathroom. The bathroom has been enlarged with the addition of a dormer window, creating extra space and natural light. It is fully equipped with a bathtub, a shower cubicle, a washbasin, and a second toilet. This floor also features underfloor heating for added comfort.
The second floor is accessed via a fixed staircase and offers two additional bedrooms, both featuring plastic skylight windows that bring in natural light. There is also a dedicated utility room that houses the washing machine, dryer, and the central heating boiler installation. This practical layout keeps the utility functions separate from the living and sleeping areas.
A loft ladder leads to a small storage attic on the third floor, providing additional space for storing items that are not needed on a daily basis. This extra storage capacity is a welcome feature for a family home.
The rear garden has been attractively laid out with low maintenance in mind, which is ideal for busy families. The garden faces southeast, meaning it enjoys plenty of sunshine during the day, especially in the morning and early afternoon. There is a wooden storage shed with a small canopy, and the garden is accessible via a rear path that provides an alternative entrance to the property. The total plot size is 140 square meters, with the rear garden measuring 54 square meters.
The property benefits from excellent insulation measures, including floor insulation, cavity wall insulation, and roof insulation. All windows feature double glazing with HR++ glass, contributing to the impressive A+ energy label. The heating system consists of an HR combination boiler from 2011, supplemented by a solar boiler with a 75-liter capacity and ten solar panels installed in 2023. These sustainable features not only reduce the environmental impact but also help keep energy costs manageable.
The location of the property is particularly convenient. The Drielanden neighborhood is a spacious and well-planned residential area with good facilities. Directly opposite the house, there are additional parking spaces available. The immediate vicinity offers plenty of play areas for children, making it an excellent choice for families with young children.
Schools, the Crescent Park, and the neighborhood center with its range of shops and two supermarkets are all within walking distance. The train and bus station, as well as the historic center of Harderwijk with its extensive dining and shopping options, the boulevard, and the city beach are easily accessible by bicycle or a short drive. The ring road around the neighborhood provides quick access to the highway network, making this location convenient for commuters as well.
The Muziekland IV section of the Drielanden neighborhood is particularly valued for its varied architecture and pleasant streetscape. The thirties-style design of this property and its neighbors gives the area a cohesive and attractive appearance that distinguishes it from more uniform modern developments.
For families with school-age children, the proximity to local schools is a significant advantage. Being able to walk to school not only saves time in the morning rush but also encourages independence in children as they grow older. The presence of play areas nearby means that younger children have safe spaces to play and make friends with neighborhood children.
The neighborhood center serves as a focal point for daily errands, with two supermarkets and various other shops providing for most everyday needs without the necessity of traveling to the city center. This convenience is particularly appreciated during busy weekdays when time is at a premium.
For those who work outside the area, the excellent connectivity is a major benefit. The nearby ring road provides direct access to major highways, making commuting to cities like Amersfoort, Utrecht, or Amsterdam relatively straightforward. At the same time, the public transport options, including both train and bus connections, offer alternatives for those who prefer not to drive.
The city of Harderwijk itself has much to offer residents. The historic center features a charming mix of traditional Dutch architecture, modern shops, restaurants, and cafes. The boulevard along the Veluwemeer lake is a popular destination for walks, cycling, or simply enjoying the view. During summer months, the city beach provides a seaside atmosphere without the need to travel to the coast.
The sustainable features of this property deserve special attention. The combination of excellent insulation, HR++ glazing, a solar boiler, and ten solar panels means that the energy costs for this home are significantly lower than for comparable properties without these features. The A+ energy label is one of the highest ratings available and reflects the overall energy efficiency of the building.
The underfloor heating on the ground floor and first floor provides a comfortable and even distribution of heat throughout the main living areas. This type of heating is often preferred over traditional radiators as it eliminates cold spots and creates a more pleasant indoor climate.
The practical layout of the property, with the utility room on the second floor separate from the living and sleeping areas, helps to minimize noise disturbance from washing machines and dryers. This thoughtful design consideration contributes to the overall livability of the home.
The wooden storage shed in the garden provides secure space for bicycles, garden tools, and other items that are best kept outside the main living area. Having this additional storage space is particularly valuable in a family home.
This property represents a well-rounded family home that combines practical living space with modern energy-efficient features in a convenient and family-friendly location. The careful maintenance and thoughtful improvements made by the current owners have ensured that the home is in excellent condition and ready for new occupants.
