- Relatively small plot size of 63 square meters limits outdoor space and potential for future expansion.
- Monthly VvE contribution of 39.44 euros applies for the shared parking area, adding to ongoing housing costs.
- The property is listed as partially furnished, which may require clarification on what items are included and potentially complicate the purchase negotiation.

Description
This corner house is located in the attractive Noorderhaven area and offers a sustainable living experience with an energy label A+++. The property was built in 2023 and features a thoughtful layout that separates work and living spaces effectively. The asking price is 550,000 euros, which translates to approximately 4,783 euros per square meter of living space.
The ground floor of this property is designed with flexibility in mind. Upon entering through the front door, you are welcomed into a multifunctional space that is particularly well-suited for use as a home office or practice room. This area features large windows on the east side, allowing abundant natural light to enter throughout the morning hours. The finish quality is high, making it easy to set up a functional workspace without significant additional investment. From this room, there is access to a storage and laundry room as well as the hallway. The hallway contains a separate toilet room and the staircase leading to the first floor.
For those arriving by car or bicycle, the garage provides a convenient entrance to the home. The garage has a total area of approximately 26 square meters, including a storage closet beneath the stairs. This space offers ample room for parking a vehicle and additional storage needs. The garage is directly accessible from the interior of the house, which is practical in daily use, especially during inclement weather.
The first floor is dedicated to living and cooking. This level benefits from the corner position of the house, with large windows on three sides providing natural light from the east, west, and south throughout the entire day. The neighboring properties in the row only have windows on the east and west sides, which gives this particular home a distinct advantage in terms of brightness. The sitting area is positioned at the front of the house, while the dining area, which can accommodate a large table, is located in the middle section. Both the living room and kitchen feature a stylish herringbone floor with underfloor heating and high skirting boards, creating a warm and cohesive atmosphere.
The kitchen is a standout feature of this floor. It includes a cooking and sitting island that serves as a focal point, along with a long wall unit containing the sink area. The kitchen offers generous storage space and comes fully equipped with built-in appliances. These include an induction cooktop with integrated extraction, a dishwasher, a Quooker instant hot water tap, a combi-oven, and a spacious refrigerator. The worktop and cabinet fronts are finished in an attractive color, contributing to the overall aesthetic appeal of the space.
From the kitchen, there is double access to the rooftop terrace. This outdoor space measures approximately 27 square meters and faces west, ensuring excellent sun exposure during the afternoon and evening hours. Thanks to the corner position of the property, the terrace enjoys a high degree of privacy. This makes it an ideal outdoor space for those who prefer low-maintenance options without the need for gardening.
The second floor houses the sleeping quarters and bathroom. There are three bedrooms in total. Two of these are located at the rear of the house, with one benefiting from natural light from two different sides. The master bedroom is situated at the front of the property and spans more than five meters in width, offering ample space for a generous bed and additional furniture. The flooring on this level consists of a straight-laid PVC floor with underfloor heating, consistent with the ground floor.
The bathroom is accessible from the landing and features a walk-in shower, a toilet, a towel radiator, and a sink. The storage cabinet beneath the sink and the adjacent cabinet for towels and personal care items are included in the sale. Additionally, there is a separate storage room on this floor for extra household items.
In terms of sustainability and energy efficiency, this property excels. It has achieved an energy label A+++ rating through a combination of comprehensive insulation measures and modern technology. The roof, walls, and floor are all insulated. The windows feature aluminum frames with HR+++ glass, which provides excellent thermal performance. Heating is provided by a NIBE heat pump in combination with underfloor heating on all three floors. Ventilation is handled by a Zehnder heat recovery system (WTW), which ensures good air quality while minimizing heat loss. The roof is equipped with 14 Jinko solar panels, each with a capacity of 430 Wp, which were installed in 2023.
The Noorderhaven neighborhood has a distinct character that combines historical elements with modern living. The IJssel river bank is within walking distance, as are the Houthaven area and the new marina. The area has preserved its historic atmosphere while giving new life to notable buildings such as Het Koelhuis, Het Pakhuis, and the Zutphense Broodfabriek. The harbor has been restored, and parts of the old fortifications and the former Veemarkt have been integrated into the neighborhood's design.
The property has a total living area of 115 square meters, with an additional 26 square meters of indoor space (the garage) and 28 square meters of outdoor space (the terrace). The plot size is 63 square meters, and the building has a volume of 504 cubic meters. There are five rooms in total, including three bedrooms, one bathroom, and one separate toilet. The property has three living levels and features a flat roof.
A monthly VvE (homeowners association) contribution of 39.44 euros applies, which covers the shared parking area. Parking is available both on the private grounds and on the enclosed shared terrain. The property comes with an SWK Guarantee Certificate, and fiber optic internet connectivity is available. The property is offered partially furnished, and the transfer terms are to be negotiated. The cadastral designation is ZUTPHEN K 2020, and the property is held in full ownership.
