Spacious Semi-Detached Family Home with Garage and Open Field Views in Duiven
Key Features
Upsides
- Energy label A with city heating, meaning the property is completely gas-free and energy efficient.
- Free and open location at the edge of the neighborhood with unobstructed views over the adjacent meadow.
- Spacious garage of 19.2 square meters with double doors and direct access to the backyard, plus a carport and driveway for multiple cars.
- Four bedrooms spread across three floors, providing flexible living space for families or those needing a home office.
- Convenient location near shops, schools, public transport, and the A12 highway, all within short distance.
Downsides
- The backyard is north-facing, which typically receives less direct sunlight compared to south-facing gardens.
- Two of the four bedrooms are currently used for other purposes (walk-in closet and treatment room), so the actual number of usable bedrooms may be effectively two without reconversion.
- The property is semi-detached, meaning it shares a wall with the neighboring house, resulting in less privacy than a detached home.
- There is only one bathroom to serve four potential bedrooms, which could be inconvenient for larger families.
- The house was built in 1992, which means it does not benefit from modern construction standards and may require updates to certain elements over time.

The north-facing backyard is well-maintained and, despite its orientation, receives sufficient sunlight due to its depth. You can access the first terrace via the sliding patio door or through the garage. A passage area with wood storage leads to the second terrace at the rear of the garden. The garden is enclosed by fencing on all sides and features a gate that provides access to the path between the garages.
The garage is highly practical, measuring 19.2 square meters, and is equipped with electricity. Notable features include the double doors, the depth of the garage at 6.5 meters, and a door that connects directly to the backyard.

The second floor is reached via a staircase and features a landing area that houses the connections for the washing appliances and the mechanical ventilation unit. This floor also includes a home office space that benefits from natural daylight through a side window. The fourth bedroom is spacious and includes several built-in closets. It receives plenty of light through a large Velux skylight.
The property was built in 1992 and has a total volume of 489 cubic meters. The living area measures 118.8 square meters, with an additional 19.2 square meters of indoor space in the garage. The plot covers 261 square meters.
Duiven-Zuidoost is a green residential area with various playgrounds, green zones, and water features.
