Charming Corner House with Spacious Garage in Popular Utrecht Neighborhood
Key Features
Description
This appealing corner house is situated on Eykmanlaan in the popular Tuindorp neighborhood in Utrecht, offering approximately 138 square meters of living space on a generous 226 square meter plot. Built around 1957, the property presents a wonderful opportunity for those seeking a family home with character and practical extras in a well-established residential area.
The ground floor welcomes you with a spacious entrance hall that provides access to various rooms. Notably, the house includes a former practice room that has been thoughtfully divided into two separate spaces. One of these rooms is equipped with a quality kitchenette, making it versatile for use as a home office, studio, or additional living accommodation. Both the kitchenette area and the former waiting room provide convenient access to the rear garden, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow.
The rear garden measures approximately 68 square meters and is oriented to the west, offering a lovely sunny outdoor space for relaxation and entertainment. The front garden, facing east, provides approximately 37 square meters of additional outdoor area. It is worth noting that currently, both the front and rear gardens of numbers 66 and 68 are interconnected without a fence between them, and the pond is shared across both properties. Future owners will need to discuss and arrange these garden boundaries in mutual consultation.
One of the standout features of this property is the substantial freestanding stone garage, measuring approximately 26 square meters. This space is exceptionally versatile, suitable for parking a car and or motorcycle, storing bicycles and other vehicles, or simply using it as a hobby room or workshop. Additionally, there is a shared canopy structure with number 66 and two practical storage cupboards, each around 1 square meter, where the boiler and central heating system are housed.
Moving to the first floor, you will find the main living areas designed in a classic through-living room layout. The living room is bright and airy thanks to the generous windows that allow natural light to flood the space. Also on this floor is a versatile room that can serve as a bedroom or study, a separate toilet, and the closed kitchen. The kitchen is arranged in a practical U-shape configuration, with the middle section offering the perfect spot for a stool where you can enjoy a quick snack while gazing out at the attractive rear garden.
The second floor accommodates the sleeping quarters, comprising two bedrooms and a well-appointed bathroom. One bedroom spans the full depth of the house and provides direct access to the roof terrace. This terrace, approximately 11 square meters and oriented to the west, offers a delightful spot to unwind while enjoying views of the beautiful mature trees that characterize the Tuindorp neighborhood. The second bedroom is located at the rear of the house. The bathroom is situated at the front and features a shower, a vanity unit with sink, and a washing machine connection.
The property is equipped with central heating and hot water via a Nefit gas-fired combination boiler from 2005, which is owned by the current owners. The house has an energy label E rating. While the property benefits from double glazing throughout and roof insulation on the main roof, prospective buyers should be aware that further energy efficiency improvements could potentially enhance the building's performance and reduce ongoing energy costs.
Recent independent inspections have been conducted to provide transparency about the property's condition. A structural inspection was carried out by Q-keur, an independent assessment company, offering insight into both short-term and long-term maintenance requirements. Additionally, a foundation assessment was performed by an independent organization, with the results indicating no immediate signs of active foundation problems or elevated risk of damage. These reports are available through the Move account associated with this listing.
The location of this property is particularly attractive. Tuindorp is a sought-after neighborhood in Utrecht, and from here, you are conveniently close to numerous amenities. Daily shopping can be done at the nearby De Gaard shopping center, or slightly further afield along Biltstraat, Nachtegaalstraat, and Burgemeester Reigerstraat where you will find a charming variety of shops and boutiques.

Viewing opportunities are available by appointment on Tuesday May 26, Wednesday May 27, and Thursday May 28, with specific time slots as indicated.
