Description
This property is a two under one cap house built in 1912 and located on a quiet street in Rijswijk close to the border of Delft. The residence enjoys a waterfront setting that provides pleasant views over the canal and easy access to the surrounding water. The plot measures 204 square metres and is fully owned by the seller. The building offers a total usable floor area of approximately 141 square metres measured according to the NVM instruction set. The interior volume is around 540 cubic metres.
On the ground floor the entrance opens onto a front garden that offers a small seating area and a direct route to a detached stone garage. The garage provides space for one vehicle and includes an additional parking place in front of it. The front door leads to a spacious entrance hall with a staircase that serves the upper levels. Adjacent to the entrance hall is a modern free hanging toilet equipped with a small sink. The living room extends about eleven metres in length and faces the water, creating a bright and open atmosphere. At the rear of the living room a well equipped kitchen has been installed. The kitchen contains a five burner gas cooktop, an oven, a microwave, a refrigerator and freezer combination and a dishwasher. From the kitchen a door opens onto a large side garden that receives morning sun and, because of its orientation, also enjoys afternoon sunshine on the terrace. The side garden is bordered on one side by a playground and a small play area that belongs to the property.
The first floor is accessed by the staircase from the entrance hall. A landing leads to a modern bathroom that includes a bathtub, a toilet and a wash basin with a cabinet. The floor also contains two generous bedrooms. One bedroom is situated at the front of the house and benefits from a built in wardrobe. The second bedroom is positioned at the rear and also offers built in storage. Both rooms receive natural light from the surrounding windows.
The second floor provides a large bedroom that also includes built in wardrobes. A second bathroom on this level contains a shower niche and a wash basin. The floor also houses the installation for the central heating system, a connection for a washing machine and a dryer. The layout of the second floor allows for the creation of additional bedrooms if required. A loft space is reachable via a small staircase and can be converted into further living or storage areas.
The property is fitted with wooden window frames on the ground floor and plastic window frames on the first and second floors. All windows are double glazed, contributing to the energy label D rating. Six solar panels have been installed on the roof, providing renewable electricity. Heating and hot water are supplied by a gas fired central heating boiler owned by the seller. The boiler, a Remeha Avanta 35c, was installed in 2009.
Additional attributes of the house include a partially furnished interior, a composite roof, and a garden that extends to the rear of the property measuring approximately ninety square metres. The garden depth is ten point five metres and the width is eight point six metres. The front garden adds curb appeal and provides a pleasant space for outdoor activities. The location offers convenient access to major roads such as the A4 and A13 motorways and is served by tram lines 1 and 19. Public transport and road connections make commuting to nearby cities straightforward. The surrounding neighbourhood is primarily residential and benefits from a calm atmosphere while still being close to local amenities.
The sale includes the house, the garage, the front and side gardens and the solar panel system. The seller has applied a standard clause for older properties that reflects the construction year of 1912. Potential buyers are encouraged to involve their own NVM buying agent to assess the purchase. The asking price is listed as € 839.000 and the transaction is on a cost buyer basis.
