Spacious detached villa with practice space in desirable Dubbeldam
Key Features
Description
This detached villa, located in the desirable neighborhood of Dubbeldam in Dordrecht, was originally constructed in 1967 as a doctor's residence. The property stands on a generous plot of 1,117 square meters and offers approximately 308 square meters of living space. One of the most distinctive features of this property is the adjoining practice space of approximately 89 square meters, which also carries residential zoning. This configuration provides remarkable flexibility for various uses including working from home, providing care for family members, or establishing dual occupancy arrangements.
Upon entering the main residence, one is welcomed by a spacious central hallway featuring a large skylight that floods the area with natural light. This central hall provides access to all main areas of the home. The living room, oriented toward the garden, includes a fireplace that creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. The room benefits from excellent natural light throughout the day and offers pleasant views of the surrounding garden. Adjacent to the living area is a closed kitchen, which connects to a spacious utility room. This layout offers considerable potential for modernization and adaptation to contemporary family living requirements.
The upper floor is reached via a stylish spiral staircase, which adds an architectural element to the interior. This floor contains five bedrooms in total, making the property particularly suitable for larger families or those requiring additional space for home offices or hobby rooms. The bedroom configuration includes one smaller room measuring 8 square meters, and three well-proportioned rooms measuring 13, 14, and 16 square meters respectively. Each of these three rooms features its own sink and built-in wardrobe space, providing practical convenience. The fifth bedroom serves as the master suite, measuring an impressive 24 square meters. This room includes access to a balcony and features an en-suite bathroom equipped with a toilet, double vanity, and a large bathtub. Additionally, a second bathroom on this floor contains a toilet and shower, ensuring ample facilities for all occupants.
The former practice space, measuring approximately 89 square meters, represents one of the most versatile aspects of this property. Crucially, this space benefits from full residential zoning, which expands the potential uses significantly. The area is accessible through two routes: internally via the main central hall, and externally through its own dedicated front entrance. The current layout includes two practice rooms, a reception area with an adjacent pantry or kitchenette, a waiting room, and a separate toilet. While currently configured for professional use, this space could be renovated and transformed into a comfortable separate living quarters, making it ideal for multi-generational living, rental purposes, or accommodating a home-based business.
The outdoor spaces complement the interior offerings. The property includes a detached garage measuring approximately 34 square meters, which is equipped with an electric door, electrical connections, and running water. The spacious driveway provides parking space for multiple vehicles. The garden surrounds the entire property, creating a private and green setting. The total plot extends to 1,117 square meters and comprises three separate cadastral parcels: Dubbeldam A-5193 covering 938 square meters, Dubbeldam A-6710 covering 127 square meters, and Dubbeldam A-7116 covering 52 square meters. All three parcels are held in full ownership.
In terms of technical specifications, the property features a flat roof covered with bituminous roofing material. The building benefits from double glazing and floor insulation, contributing to energy efficiency. The current energy label is E. Heating and hot water are provided by an Intergas HRE combination boiler, which is gas-fired and was installed in 2018. The boiler is owned by the current proprietor. Additional features include exterior sun blinds, roller shutters, natural ventilation systems, a chimney flue, and television cable connections.
The location of this property in Dubbeldam offers a balanced lifestyle combining residential tranquility with convenient access to urban amenities. Dubbeldam is a charming neighborhood with a distinctly village-like character, despite being part of the city of Dordrecht since 1966.

The property is situated on a quiet road within a residential area, yet remains close to essential facilities.
