Description
Located on the characteristic Elburgerweg, just a short distance from the pleasant village center of Heerde, stands this atmospheric detached residence dating from 1936. The property presents a house with character, generous space and surprisingly high living comfort, where authentic details blend harmoniously with modern residential pleasure. The distinctive masonry, the striking facade and the semicircular bay window immediately give the property a warm 1930s appearance.
A major advantage of this property is the complete living arrangement on the ground floor. This makes the residence not only suitable for families but also particularly attractive for those who wish to live on a single level without making concessions regarding space. The ground floor includes a living room, kitchen, work or dining room, an additional room suitable as a bedroom or study, a utility room, a bathroom and access to the garage and storage cellar.
Over the years, the property has been modernized and extended at various points. The upper floor was renovated around 2007, followed by an extension in 2009, and the living room received a further expansion in 2013. Additionally, the gutters were renewed in zinc, the meter cabinet was expanded to accommodate solar panels, and various insulation measures were implemented. With 16 solar panels installed in 2022, an HR central heating boiler from 2022 and an atmospheric wood stove, the living comfort is fully up to current standards.

Outside, there is also plenty to enjoy. The attractively landscaped garden is generous in size, allowing one to enjoy a lovely sunny spot at any time of day. The property also has a wooden shed and a spacious driveway with parking space for multiple cars.
The property has a total living area of 192 square meters, with an additional 35 square meters of other indoor space and 15 square meters of external storage.
