Modernized Professor's Residence with Exceptional Garden in Delft

This beautifully modernized former professor's residence is situated on a unique plot of 1,130 square meters in a beloved and green residential area near the Technical University of Delft. The property is a semi-detached house that was originally designed as a professor's home and represents a fine example of Delftse School architecture combined with a stylish extension that houses the kitchen. The home has been carefully modernized while preserving its authentic atmosphere and characteristic details, successfully combining historic architecture with modern living comfort and surprisingly ample living space.

The property is located at a short distance from the historic center of Delft and is very favorably positioned relative to the A4, A12, and A13 highways. The surrounding area offers excellent amenities including the TU Delft, supermarkets, primary schools, childcare facilities, sports clubs and fields, the Botanical Garden, and the Delftse Hout recreation area. This location provides the convenience of urban living combined with the tranquility of a green residential neighborhood.

The ground floor layout begins with an entrance through a vestibule and hall. From the hall, you can access the modern toilet room with a small sink, a practical understairs storage closet, and the staircase to the first floor. The spacious garden-oriented living room has been extended on the side and features a cozy yet sleek fireplace and beautiful floorboards. Thanks to the large windows, this space enjoys abundant natural light and a lovely view of the garden. The spacious kitchen is located at the rear in the extension and, together with the bright living room, forms the heart of the home. The modern kitchen is equipped with various built-in appliances. From the kitchen, there is direct access to the garden.

The beautifully landscaped backyard is very sunny and faces south, featuring multiple cozy seating areas, a storage shed, and at the back of the garden, a spacious free-standing garage. The property also includes a front garden and a side garden, contributing to the unique character of this exceptional plot.

The first floor features a spacious landing with a beautiful light staircase thanks to the many windows. On this floor, there is a large bedroom with a French balcony, a spacious master bedroom with built-in closets and patio doors leading to a garden-oriented balcony, as well as a spacious bedroom with a view of the garden. The modern bathroom is equipped with a walk-in shower, a second toilet, and a double sink. The windows on this floor provide plenty of natural light and create an airy atmosphere throughout the landing and bedrooms.

The second floor consists of a spacious attic with ample storage space, the location of the CV combi boiler, mechanical ventilation system, and the inverter for the solar panels. Comparable homes in the street have converted this floor to include two bedrooms and dormer windows, indicating that a full second living level could be realized here if desired.

The property has a living area of 144 square meters plus 21 square meters of other indoor space. The external storage space, consisting of the garage and shed together, measures 31 square meters. The plot size of 1,130 square meters is particularly noteworthy and rare for a home in this location. The backyard alone measures 600 square meters, with dimensions of 30 meters deep and 20 meters wide, facing southwest and accessible via a rear path.

In terms of energy efficiency, the property has an energy label B. In 2013, all cavity walls were insulated with Supafil cavity wall insulation achieving an Rc value of 1.86 m² K/W, with a 10-year guarantee. HR++ double glazing has been installed in all windows except those in the kitchen, which have a different type of double glazing. Additionally, the property features 11 solar panels that contribute to reduced energy costs.

The heating system consists of a Nefit HR combi boiler from 2005, which is gas-fired and owned by the property owner. Hot water is provided through the CV boiler and an electric boiler. The property has high ceilings throughout, contributing to the spacious feel and characteristic appearance of the home.

Parking is available through a permit system for residents. The property is offered at an asking price and acceptance is in consultation. The cadastral designation is DELFT A 8913, and the property is held in full ownership, meaning the land is owned rather than leased.

This former professor's residence offers a unique combination of characteristic architecture, modern comfort, an exceptionally large and sunny garden, and a prime location near the center of Delft and the Technical University. The property provides ample opportunities for further customization, particularly on the second floor where additional bedrooms could be created following examples seen in similar homes in the neighborhood.
