Description
This charming corner house is situated in a quiet residential neighborhood and offers surprisingly generous living space. Built in 1970, the property features solid masonry construction with concrete floors, providing a sturdy and durable foundation. The home is positioned on a 191 square meter plot and offers a total living area of 85 square meters, complemented by 16 square meters of additional indoor space and 9 square meters of external storage.
Upon entering the property through the main entrance, you are welcomed into a hallway finished with laminate flooring, spachtelputz walls, and a wooden ceiling. This practical entrance area houses the electrical meter cabinet, a convenient storage closet beneath the stairs, and a tiled guest toilet equipped with a small sink. These elements immediately demonstrate the thoughtful organization of the home's layout.
The ground floor features a bright and spacious living room that serves as the heart of the home. This inviting space is finished with consistent laminate flooring, spachtelputz walls, and a smooth plastered ceiling. The room offers ample space to create both a comfortable seating area and a dining area, making it ideal for family living and entertaining guests. Natural light flows freely into this space, enhanced by the corner position of the property which provides additional windows and therefore increased daylight compared to interior row houses.
Adjacent to the living room is the practical kitchen, which is equipped with a synthetic worktop, a stainless steel sink, a four-burner gas cooktop, an extractor hood, and a dishwasher. While the kitchen maintains a functional and straightforward design, it provides all the essential appliances needed for daily meal preparation. A garden door in the kitchen allows direct access to the backyard, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living spaces.
The first floor of the property is accessed via a staircase from the hallway and features a landing that provides access to three bedrooms and the family bathroom. Additionally, a hatch with a pull-down ladder provides access to the second floor attic space.
All three bedrooms on this level are finished with laminate flooring, ensuring consistency and ease of maintenance. Two of the bedrooms benefit from built-in wardrobes, offering valuable storage space for clothing and personal belongings. These rooms are well-suited for use as children's bedrooms, a home office, or guest accommodation, providing flexibility to adapt the space to the needs of different household configurations.
The tiled bathroom on this floor is equipped with a bathtub featuring a shower screen, as well as a vanity unit with sink. While the bathroom offers the essential facilities, the combination of bathtub and shower screen provides flexibility for different bathing preferences.
The second floor is accessible only via a pull-down ladder, which does limit the ease of access compared to a permanent staircase. This attic space features a skylight window, allowing natural light to enter, and houses the Nefit combi boiler which was installed in 2015 or 2016. This space serves primarily as practical storage, providing additional room for seasonal items, luggage, and other belongings that are not needed on a daily basis.
One of the most notable features of this property is the south-facing backyard, which measures 72 square meters with dimensions of approximately 12 meters in depth and 6 meters in width. This favorable orientation ensures maximum sunlight exposure throughout the day, making it an ideal space for outdoor relaxation, gardening, or al fresco dining. The garden is attractively laid out with paved areas and planted borders, creating a balanced combination of usable space and greenery.
A particularly appealing feature of the garden is the wooden canopy or pergola situated at the rear of the property. This covered area extends the outdoor living season, providing shelter from light rain or excessive sun while still allowing residents to enjoy the fresh air. It creates an inviting space for evening gatherings, quiet reading, or simply unwinding after a long day.
The garden also features a convenient side exit, providing alternative access to the property without having to pass through the house. This is particularly useful when returning from cycling or walking, or when moving items to and from the storage shed.
At the rear of the garden stands a freestanding stone storage shed, which offers secure and dry storage for bicycles, garden tools, outdoor furniture, and other items. The solid construction of this shed provides better security and protection than a typical wooden shed.
The property is located in a quiet residential area with public parking available directly in front of the home. This eliminates the need for residents to search for parking spaces after returning home, adding to the convenience of daily life. The corner position of the house provides additional benefits including increased privacy from neighbors, enhanced natural light from multiple angles, and often a slightly larger garden compared to interior properties in the same row.
In terms of energy efficiency, the property holds an energy label C rating. The home benefits from roof insulation, wall insulation, and partial double glazing. While these features provide some level of energy efficiency, the partial nature of the double glazing indicates that some windows may still have single panes, which could be a consideration for future energy improvement projects. The property is also equipped with predominantly electrically operated roller shutters, which provide both privacy and additional insulation against heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer.
The Nefit combi boiler, installed around 2015 or 2016, provides both central heating and hot water for the property. This relatively recent installation means that the heating system should have many years of reliable service ahead, representing a significant advantage over properties with older heating systems that may require imminent replacement.
Fiber optic cable is available at the property, ensuring high-speed internet connectivity for those who work from home, stream media, or simply value fast and reliable internet access for daily use.
The asking price for this property is set at 324,000 euros, which translates to approximately 3,812 euros per square meter of living space. The property is offered with a negotiable acceptance status, meaning the moving date can be discussed with the seller to accommodate the buyer's needs.
The cadastral information indicates the property is registered as STEENBERGEN Q 5240, with full ownership status. This confirms that the buyer will acquire complete ownership of both the property and the land upon which it stands, without any leasehold or other restrictive tenure arrangements.
The roof construction is a traditional gable roof covered with clay tiles, which is a common and durable roofing solution for Dutch homes of this era. This type of roof typically provides good drainage and weather protection when properly maintained.
With a total volume of 358 cubic meters, the property offers reasonable ceiling heights throughout, contributing to a sense of space and airiness despite the relatively modest square meterage. The combination of two full living floors plus an accessible attic provides a practical vertical distribution of space that separates daytime living areas from nighttime sleeping quarters in a traditional and functional manner.
This corner house presents itself as a complete family home that combines practical functionality with pleasant outdoor living spaces. The combination of a sunny south-facing garden, a covered seating area, adequate storage facilities, and a quiet location creates a home that offers a comfortable lifestyle for families or couples looking for a property with character and potential.
