Key Features
Upsides
- Direct adjacency to Park Overstegen provides an unobstructed green view at the rear with no direct back neighbors, creating a rare sense of privacy and connection to nature within the city.
- The generous plot size of 425 square meters includes a 261 square meter southeast-facing garden, a driveway accommodating three vehicles, and two outbuildings (stone and wooden) for ample storage or hobby space.
- The location combines a quiet residential street with excellent accessibility to Doetinchem city center, train station, supermarkets, schools, sports facilities, and the hospital, all within close proximity.
- Six solar panels installed around 2022 contribute to reduced energy costs, complemented by a relatively modern Nefit HR combination boiler from 2014.
- The attic level with a dormer window offers the potential to create a fourth bedroom, adding flexibility for growing families or those needing a home office space.
Downsides
- The property dates from 1964, which means the overall construction and some internal elements may require updating or maintenance despite certain improvements like wall insulation and double glazing.
- The energy label C indicates only moderate energy efficiency, suggesting that further insulation or window upgrades might be necessary to achieve higher efficiency standards.
- The listing specifies a "starting price" (VANAF prijs), which indicates the actual purchase price may be higher than the stated 389,000 euros depending on market interest and bidding.
- The kitchen appliances are described as basic necessities (refrigerator, microwave, oven, cooktop) without mention of premium features, which may require upgrading for buyers seeking a modern kitchen setup.
- The property is listed as partially furnished, which may require negotiation regarding the removal or retention of existing furniture and could complicate the transfer process.

An open kitchen connects seamlessly to the living area and comes equipped with essential appliances including a refrigerator, microwave, oven, and cooktop. From the living room, one can proceed to the sunroom, which features double sliding doors that effectively bring the outdoor experience inside. This space is particularly suited for morning coffee or quiet reading moments.

The garden has been thoughtfully landscaped and faces southeast, ensuring ample sunlight throughout the day while also offering shaded areas. The rear garden measures 261 square meters with a depth of 21.75 meters and a width of 12 meters.

The location on De Jongstraat is notably quiet while remaining highly accessible. The city center of Doetinchem is within easy cycling distance, as are the train station, supermarkets, schools, sports clubs, and the hospital. Park Overstegen is practically around the corner, offering immediate access to nature for walking, jogging, or simply enjoying the outdoors.
Additional features of the property include exterior sun shading, fiber optic cable connection, roller shutters, and the aforementioned solar panels. The roof is a gable roof covered with tiles. The property is being offered with a starting price and the transfer details are open to negotiation.
