Spacious Modernized 1930s Bay Window Home with Southeast Facing Garden

This spacious and modernized 1930s bay window house is located on Diepenbrockweg in the Krispijn district of Dordrecht. The property was built in 1938 and has been well maintained by the current owners. The backyard faces southeast, providing pleasant sunlight throughout the afternoon. The home is situated next to the on and off ramp of the bridge to Zwijndrecht, making it easily accessible by car.

The property features nearly all plastic window frames with insulating glass and HR++ glass. A large dormer window has been installed on the rear roof slope, and there is a balcony on the southeast side. The house also includes a basement closet for additional storage. The front yard serves as a pleasant approach to the front door and offers space for parking bicycles or sitting in the afternoon sun.

The energy efficiency of this 1930s home is noteworthy. Roof insulation, insulating glazing, retrofitted cavity wall insulation, crawl space insulation, a combination boiler, and nine solar panels have together achieved an energy label B. This represents a significant achievement for a property of this age.

The total plot size measures 138 square meters, while the usable living area is 147 square meters according to the detailed description, though the official listing specifies 135 square meters for living space.
