Description
Located in the desirable neighborhood of Noordveen, this well maintained semi detached residence offers a comfortable living environment combined with a surprising amount of privacy. The property features a driveway, a convenient veranda, and a garden designed for seclusion. A key advantage of this location is its green surroundings while still being within walking distance of the city center of Zutphen. The house presents a practical layout spread over multiple levels, suitable for families or individuals seeking ample space and outdoor potential.
Upon entering the home, you are welcomed into a spacious hallway featuring a tiled floor equipped with floor heating, ensuring a warm entrance during colder months. The hall provides access to a modern meter cupboard, a cloakroom for coats, a separate toilet room with a small fountain, and the staircase leading to the upper floors. The flooring here sets a tone of quality that continues throughout the ground level.
The heart of the home is the spacious living room which features an open kitchen connection. This through living room allows for an abundance of natural light and creates a fluid transition between different living areas. The floor is covered with a wood look herringbone PVC floor, which provides the aesthetic appeal of wood with the durability and maintenance ease of modern materials. A characteristic pellet stove sits near the sitting area, adding a cozy atmosphere and serving as a focal point for the room. This stove remains with the property, offering immediate ambiance for the new owners. Large sliding doors in the living room open up to the veranda, effectively extending the living space outdoors during mild or sunny weather.
The kitchen, installed in 2016, is a functional and stylish space. It is equipped with an induction cooktop, an extractor hood, an oven, and a dishwasher which was updated in 2025. A significant feature added in 2023 is the kitchen island. This island not only provides substantial additional storage space but also serves as a casual dining spot for breakfast or drinks, enhancing the social aspect of the kitchen. For storage needs, there is a deep cellar or pantry closet, and a trapdoor in the kitchen floor provides access to a basement and the crawl space below the house, useful for keeping items cool or storing seasonal goods.
Adjacent to the kitchen and living area is a practical utility room. This space houses the connection for a fridge freezer combination and provides ample room for laundry appliances such as a washing machine and dryer. From the utility room, one can access both the veranda and the garden, as well as a separate door leading to a hobby or work room. This hobby room was originally a shed or storage space but has been transformed by adding insulated partition walls. While currently functional, the room holds potential for further updates, such as installing a larger window to create a pleasant view of the garden while working at a desk.
Moving to the first floor, the landing leads to three bedrooms. All three bedrooms are fitted with neat laminate flooring and feature fixed closets, providing efficient storage solutions. The smallest of the three rooms is currently in use as a walk in closet, though its dimensions make it perfectly suitable for use as a child bedroom or a home office if desired. The largest bedroom benefits from a balcony situated on the west side, offering a spot to enjoy the evening sun.
The bathroom on this floor was renovated in 2016 and is fitted with modern amenities. It includes a walk in shower, a sink vanity with a mirror cabinet, and a second toilet. This layout ensures that the sanitary facilities are conveniently accessible from the bedrooms on this level.
A fixed staircase leads from the first floor to the second story. Thanks to a roof ridge height increase, the attic has been transformed into a spacious fourth bedroom. This room feels open and airy due to the raised central part. The dormer window on the facade is made of plastic and features tilt and turn windows, allowing for good ventilation and natural light. On this floor, the available space has been maximized with knee walls and large storage cupboards, ensuring that no space is wasted. The central heating boiler, a Nefit Proline from 2016, is installed here and is neatly concealed behind a partition.
The outdoor spaces of this property are designed for privacy and low maintenance. The backyard is situated on the northwest and has a pleasant width. A large terrace provides the perfect place for seating, while an artificial lawn lies under a decorative apple tree. The garden is lush with mature greenery, including laurel, bamboo, and a hazelnut tree, creating a green oasis that feels sheltered and private. To the side of the house, there is a wooden shed offering storage for bicycles and gardening tools, and one can pass through this shed to reach the back alley.
It is important to note specific details regarding the plot. The house stands on a plot of 280 square meters. In the garden, if one walks down the stairs, they reach a lower garden. This specific piece of ground, approximately 140 square meters, has been in use by the owners and residents of house number 193 for many years. It is not part of the ownership of the property in the sense that the current owner does not have exclusive use, or rather, the usage rights are split and a small fee is paid for this usage. The large plot between the houses on Deventerweg and Brandts Buijsstraat has been fragmented in use by residents for years. This offers extra space for pets or children to play, although the ownership and usage rights are complex.
At the front of the house, there is space to park on private land. Additionally, parking is possible in the docks or havens in front of the house. The location is highly practical regarding amenities. The train station and the inner city of Zutphen are within walking or cycling distance. There is a wide choice of primary and secondary schools in the vicinity. For those who enjoy walking or cycling, routes towards Almen, Huize de Voorst, and Eefde are easily accessible from the house. A large off leash dog field is also just a stone throw away, making this a pet friendly location.
Regarding the technical condition and sustainability, the property is largely equipped with HR++ glazing and tilt and turn windows. The energy label is D, dating from 2023. Since the issuance of this label, the front door frame and the French doors in the living room have been replaced, likely improving the insulation value further. The roof boarding is made of wood. The gutters and rainwater drains were replaced in 2024 using zinc, which is a durable material. The combination of these features indicates a home that has been cared for and updated over time while retaining its character.
This listing offers a comprehensive family home in a green yet central part of Zutphen. With four bedrooms, a modernized kitchen and bathroom, and a pleasant garden, it balances comfort with practicality. The specific arrangements regarding the garden usage add a unique aspect to the property, providing more space than the average urban plot while involving a neighborly agreement. The proximity to the city center, schools, and nature makes it a versatile choice for various potential buyers looking for a semi detached home in this region.
