Description

Located on a quiet dead end street in the sought after De Brink neighbourhood this family residence was completed in 2018 and benefits from a highly sustainable design. The property sits directly beside the De Brink nature park and enjoys uninterrupted views of the surrounding greenery and a water feature that is part of the historic estate. A short walk from the front door leads directly into the park and the nearby children’s farm, providing immediate access to open space and recreational opportunities for families.

The house occupies a plot of 72 square metres and offers a total living area of 101 square metres spread over three levels. The ground floor is entered through a welcoming foyer that gives access to a hallway with the electrical meter, a guest toilet and the combined living and kitchen area. The living room is bright and opens onto a modern kitchen equipped with an induction cooktop, an integrated extractor, a dishwasher, a refrigerator, a freezer and a combination oven. Large windows frame the view of the park and the water, creating a strong connection between interior and exterior spaces. Warmth is provided throughout the ground floor by floor heating, a system that is also present on the first floor.

Ascending to the first floor reveals two well sized bedrooms. The principal bedroom offers ample space for a double bed and additional furniture. The second bedroom can serve as a children’s room, a home office or a guest room depending on the owners’ needs. A contemporary bathroom on this level features a double vanity, a spacious walk‑in shower and a whirlpool tub for relaxation. Adjacent to the bathroom is a dedicated laundry room equipped with the necessary connections for a washing machine, a dryer and an electric water heater. Floor heating continues on this level, ensuring a comfortable temperature throughout the year.

The third level is accessed by a fixed staircase and contains a generous landing that provides additional storage space. A large third bedroom with a dormer window occupies this floor, offering plenty of natural light and a pleasant roof line. Directly beside the house a small wooden outbuilding serves as a storage shed and can be used for garden tools, bicycles or other items that require protection from the elements.

The property is fully gas free and all installations operate on electricity. It is equipped with a three phase electrical supply, mechanical ventilation and fibre optic internet connectivity. The building is completely insulated and holds an energy label B, indicating a high level of energy efficiency. Floor heating on the ground and first floors is powered by an electric boiler, and the overall design minimizes the need for additional heating input. A detailed measurement report prepared according to the NEN 2580 standard is available, confirming the accuracy of the reported floor area.

Outside the residence there are two gardens. The front garden, positioned on the south west side, is bordered by the water feature and includes a modest lawn area. The rear garden is compact, measuring approximately ten square metres, and provides a quiet private space for outdoor enjoyment. A portion of the front garden between numbers 113 and 119 has been adopted by the current occupants. The area is enclosed with a willow branch fence, seeded each spring with wild flower mix, and requires minimal maintenance. Future owners have the option to continue the adoption arrangement or to relinquish it.

The neighbourhood offers a range of amenities within walking distance. Several primary schools, daycare centres and a small local shopping centre are situated nearby, making daily errands convenient for families. The centre of Zeist can be reached within a few minutes by car or bicycle, and major road connections are also close by. Public transport options include a direct bus line that reaches the Utrecht Science Park in a short ride, and the city centre of Utrecht is reachable within fifteen minutes by public transport.

In summary the home combines modern architecture, sustainable building practices and a location that blends natural surroundings with easy access to urban facilities. The property is ready for immediate occupation and does not require any major investments. Potential buyers can arrange a handover date in consultation with the seller, allowing for a smooth transition into the new residence.
