Spacious Terraced Home with Garden and Garage in Quiet Green Setting
Key Features
Description
Located on the Elsje van Houweningepad in Werkendam, this terraced house presents itself as a property with a solid foundation and considerable potential for personalization. The residence is situated in a quiet residential area with green spaces directly in front of the door, creating a pleasant and peaceful living environment.
The ground floor of this 1973 built home features comfortable floor heating, which provides an even and pleasant temperature throughout the space. The layout on this level is described as spacious and logical, offering a practical foundation for daily living. The current owners indicate that the property has a good basic condition, though new residents may wish to apply a fresh coat of paint or add new accents to make the space truly their own. For those with more ambitious plans, the property also offers opportunities for larger renovations. The flexibility of the space allows future owners to adapt the home to their personal preferences and lifestyle needs.
Moving to the upper levels, the first floor contains three bedrooms, providing ample space for family members or other purposes. Above this, on the second floor, there is an additional full sized bedroom featuring a dormer window. This extra room offers versatility and can serve various functions such as a teenager's room, guest accommodation, a home office, or simply that extra space that many families find valuable to have. The dormer window adds natural light and headroom to this upper level bedroom.
Storage has been thoughtfully addressed in this property. There is storage space available behind partitions within the home, as well as an external storage solution. The outdoor storage consists of a freestanding stone shed equipped with electricity, measuring 19 square meters in total external storage space. This provides practical options for storing items that do not need to be kept inside the main living areas.
The outdoor spaces of this property are particularly noteworthy. The back garden extends nearly 14 meters in depth and is positioned on the west side of the property. This western orientation makes it an ideal spot for both sun and shade seekers throughout different times of the day. The garden measures 83 square meters with dimensions of 13.90 meters in depth and 6.40 meters in width. There is also a front garden contributing to the overall green character of the property. The rear garden is accessible via a back path, adding convenience for日常use and potential for bringing items through without going through the house.
A significant advantage of this property is the presence of a freestanding stone garage with electricity, capable of accommodating one car. This means bicycles and other items can be stored neatly out of the way, keeping the garden space free for enjoyment. The garage adds practical value and security for vehicle storage.
The bathroom facilities include one full bathroom equipped with a shower, bathtub, and washbasin. Additionally, there are two separate toilets in the home, which is a practical arrangement for households with multiple residents. This configuration provides convenience and privacy for family members and guests.
In terms of energy efficiency, the property holds an energy label C. The heating and hot water are provided by a Remeha gas fired combination boiler from 2007, which is owned by the current residents rather than rented. This boiler has been in service for approximately 17 years at the time of listing, which potential buyers may wish to factor into their future maintenance planning.
The property features several practical amenities including exterior sun blinds, a skylight, and roller shutters. These features contribute to comfort and can help with light control, temperature regulation, and security.
With a total living area of 112 square meters spread across three living floors, the property offers a good amount of space for a family home. The total volume of the home is 346 cubic meters. The plot size is 165 square meters, providing a balanced ratio between indoor and outdoor living spaces.
Parking in the area is available as public parking, which is common in residential neighborhoods of this type. The presence of the private garage offers a dedicated parking solution within this public parking context.
The property is being offered at a price of 385,000 euros, which translates to approximately 3,438 euros per square meter of living space. The asking price is on a kosten koper basis, meaning the buyer is responsible for the transfer costs and any applicable taxes in addition to the purchase price.
The acceptance terms are described as in consultation, indicating flexibility regarding the moving date and potentially other transaction details. This can be beneficial for buyers who need time to arrange their move or who have specific timing requirements.
The property is listed as available, meaning it is actively on the market and ready for viewings and offers. The cadastral designation is Werkendam S 824, and the property is held in full ownership.
Situated in a residential neighborhood, the location offers the benefits of a quiet living environment while presumably being connected to local amenities and infrastructure typical of established Dutch residential areas. The green space in front of the property contributes to the attractive streetscape and provides a pleasant first impression when approaching the home.
This terraced house represents an opportunity for buyers who are looking for a home with good bones and the potential to put their own stamp on the property. Whether the new owners choose to make minor cosmetic updates or undertake more substantial renovations, the property appears to offer a flexible canvas for creating a personalized living space. The combination of indoor space, outdoor areas, storage facilities, and a garage makes this a well rounded family home in a quiet setting.
