Key Features
Upsides
- Energy Label A rating with six solar panels installed in 2023, resulting in lower energy costs and a more sustainable home.
- Modern kitchen and toilet room both renovated in 2022, reducing the need for immediate updates.
- Quiet courtyard location that is child-friendly while still being conveniently close to the train station (5 minutes by bike) and the A7 motorway (10 minutes by car).
- Spacious bedrooms enhanced by two dormer windows, with the flexibility to easily restore the original four-bedroom layout.
- Comprehensive insulation including roof, walls, floor, and double glazing contributes to year-round comfort and energy efficiency.
Downsides
- The backyard faces northeast, meaning limited afternoon and evening sun exposure in the outdoor space.
- No dedicated parking space is included with the property
- residents must rely on public street parking.
- The first floor currently has only three bedrooms as two rooms have been combined, requiring modification if four separate bedrooms are needed.
- The plot size of 112 square meters is relatively modest for a family home.
- The property was built in 1994, which may mean older building standards compared to more recent constructions despite the insulation upgrades.
Description
This family home is situated in a child-friendly courtyard within the Kersenboogerd neighborhood of Hoorn. The property has been well maintained and is offered in move-in ready condition. The current owners have made several notable improvements in recent years, including the installation of a modern kitchen and toilet room in 2022, as well as the addition of six solar panels in 2023. The property holds an Energy Label A rating, reflecting its good level of insulation and energy efficiency.
The location in a courtyard setting provides a peaceful living environment that is particularly suitable for families with children. The immediate surroundings are characterized by low traffic and a sense of community typical of such courtyard arrangements. Despite the quiet setting, the property benefits from excellent connectivity. The NS train station can be reached within approximately five minutes by bicycle, providing direct connections to Amsterdam and other destinations. The A7 motorway, connecting Amsterdam to Den Oever, is accessible within about ten minutes by car. Daily amenities such as shops and services are available within walking distance. The Kersenboogerd area is known for its variety of parks, green spaces, schools, and playgrounds, making it a well-established residential neighborhood.
The ground floor layout begins with an entrance hall that provides access to the meter cupboard and the living area. The living room is positioned at the front of the property and features large windows that allow ample natural light to enter the space. Adjacent to the living room, an intermediate hall leads to the toilet room and the staircase to the first floor. The kitchen is located at the rear of the ground floor and is arranged in an L-shaped configuration. This kitchen was installed in 2022 and includes a breakfast bar, making it a practical space for daily meals. The kitchen is equipped with various built-in appliances. From the kitchen area, double French doors open directly onto the backyard, creating a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living spaces.
The first floor can be reached via a fixed staircase from the ground floor. The landing provides access to the bedrooms, the bathroom, and a second fixed staircase leading to the second floor. The bathroom is situated at the front of the property and is fitted with a shower, a toilet, and a sink set within a vanity unit. Also located at the front of the first floor is one bedroom. At the rear of this floor, two bedrooms have been combined to create one large bedroom, connected by an internal door. A dormer window at the rear enhances the sense of space and natural light in this combined bedroom. The current configuration offers three bedrooms on this floor, though the original layout of four bedrooms can be easily restored by closing the connecting doorway.
The second floor is accessible via a fixed staircase and features a landing with connections for a washing machine and dryer. The central heating boiler, an Intergas combi boiler from 2018, is also located on this floor. The second floor contains an additional bedroom that benefits from a dormer window at the front of the property, resulting in a generously proportioned room suitable for use as a bedroom, home office, or hobby space.
The outdoor space consists of a backyard and a front yard. The backyard measures approximately 51 square meters, with dimensions of 10 meters in depth and 5.10 meters in width. The backyard is oriented to the northeast, which means it receives morning and midday sun while offering shade during the afternoon hours. A freestanding wooden storage shed is located in the backyard, and the space is accessible via a rear path (achterom). The front yard benefits from evening sun, which can extend into the living room, providing pleasant natural light at the end of the day.
The property was originally constructed in 1994 and features a pitched roof covered with tiles. The total living area measures 96 square meters, with an additional 2 square meters of attached outdoor space and 5 square meters of external storage. The plot covers 112 square meters, and the total volume of the building is 340 cubic meters. The property is classified as a terraced house (tussenwoning) and is held in full freehold (volle eigendom).
In terms of energy efficiency, the property benefits from comprehensive insulation including roof insulation, double glazing, wall insulation, and floor insulation. The six solar panels installed in 2023 contribute to reduced energy costs. The heating and hot water are provided by the Intergas combi boiler, which is owned by the property and was installed in 2018.
Parking is available on public roads in the vicinity, as the property does not include a dedicated parking space. The property features natural ventilation, a TV cable connection, and skylights that contribute to the overall brightness of the interior.
The asking price for this property is set at 375,000 euros, with the buyer responsible for the associated acquisition costs (kosten koper). This translates to approximately 3,906 euros per square meter of living space. The transfer date is to be determined by mutual agreement between the buyer and seller.
This property presents itself as a practical and well-maintained family home in a established residential area. The combination of recent improvements, energy efficiency features, and a convenient location makes it suitable for families seeking a ready-to-move-in home in the Kersenboogerd neighborhood of Hoorn.
