Renovated Dike Villa with Panoramic Rhine Views
Key Features
Upsides
- Panoramic views over the Rhine river and floodplains from multiple floors, with large windows maximizing the visual connection to the water and surrounding landscape.
- Excellent energy efficiency with an A label, supported by a 2024 heat pump, 15 solar panels, underfloor heating and cooling, and full insulation with HR++ glazing.
- Recently and extensively renovated in 2021 with modern amenities throughout, including two contemporary bathrooms, a 2020 luxury kitchen, and two air conditioning units installed in 2024.
- Four full floors providing approximately 189 square meters of versatile living space, including a multifunctional ground floor room and a second floor that can serve as either a living area or bedroom.
- Two sheltered roof terraces offering outdoor living space with the upper terrace providing far-reaching panoramic views of the river landscape.
Downsides
- The property is a terraced house (tussenwoning) rather than a detached or semi-detached home, meaning shared walls with neighboring properties on both sides.
- The plot size is relatively small at 129 square meters for a property of this living area and price point, resulting in limited ground-level outdoor space beyond the roof terraces.
- The third floor master bedroom is accessed through a large closet unit, which may feel unconventional and could impact the sense of openness and flow for some buyers.
- West-facing outdoor areas will receive direct sunlight during the hottest parts of the day in summer, which may make the terraces less comfortable during afternoon and early evening hours without proper shading.
- Located directly on a dike, the property may be subject to specific building regulations and restrictions for any future modifications or expansions.
Description
This renovated dike villa, originally constructed in 2007 and extensively updated in 2021, offers a unique opportunity for those seeking waterfront living in the sought-after Stadseiland neighborhood. The property provides approximately 189 square meters of living space distributed across four full floors, combining spaciousness, comfort, and sustainability with exceptional views.
Situated directly on the dike, the villa commands panoramic views over the Rhine river and the surrounding floodplains. The landscape includes green meadows with Konik horses and Galloway cattle, a secondary river channel, and the constant activity of ships passing along the Rhine. Large windows throughout the property ensure these views can be enjoyed in every season, creating a dynamic visual connection with the surrounding environment.
The property features an energy label A rating, supported by a range of sustainable installations. These include an air-to-water heat pump installed in 2024, underfloor heating and cooling throughout most of the home, 15 solar panels dating from 2017, and a 289-liter hot water boiler. Two air conditioning units were also installed in 2024 to provide additional cooling during warmer months. The building is fully insulated and equipped with HR++ double glazing.
Parking is well-accommodated with an indoor garage that also serves as bicycle storage, a carport, and a spacious private driveway capable of holding multiple vehicles. The property stands on a plot of 129 square meters, with a total volume of 754 cubic meters.
The ground floor entrance opens into a hall featuring an oak wooden floor, an extended electrical panel, and access to the integrated garage. This level also includes a generous multifunctional room suitable as a workspace, playroom, or hobby area, with practical storage space concealed behind a curtain. Under the stairs, a storage closet houses the 2024 heat pump along with connections for a washing machine and dryer.
The first floor serves as the main living level, featuring a bright living area with doors opening onto a sheltered roof terrace. This outdoor space is surrounded by wisteria and equipped with electric sun blinds, effectively extending the living area during favorable weather. The entire floor is finished with oak herringbone parquet and benefits from underfloor heating and cooling. A modern wall-hung toilet with a small sink is also present on this level.
The luxury open-plan kitchen, installed in 2020, includes a cooking island with a bar section and high-end built-in appliances: an induction cooktop with downdraft extraction, refrigerator, freezer, oven and combi-microwave, dishwasher, built-in coffee machine, and a boiling water tap. The kitchen offers ample storage in drawers and cabinets. The large windows at the rear provide spectacular views of the floodplains and river, with a built-in bench seat creating an ideal spot to observe the changing landscape.
The second floor currently functions as a spacious second living or television room but can easily be converted back into a bedroom. Large floor-to-ceiling windows maintain the impressive river views. This level contains two additional rooms currently used as a bedroom and a study, both fitted with sun screens. The bathroom on this floor features an oversized bathtub and a generous walk-in shower with built-in niches for toiletries. A double vanity unit with drawers and a large heated mirror wall with lighting complete the bathroom, which also includes underfloor heating. The remaining areas on this floor have oak floorboards with underfloor heating and cooling.
The third floor offers an open space with doors leading to the second roof terrace, which provides far-reaching views. This level includes a vanity unit with drawers and mirror wall, plus a modern second bathroom with a walk-in rain shower and a wall-hung toilet. The current owners have installed a large closet unit that serves as a passage to the master bedroom. Floor-to-ceiling windows create a seamless indoor-outdoor experience, and air conditioning ensures comfort during hot summer days. Oak floorboards run throughout this level.
The Stadseiland neighborhood is characterized by its quiet, green, and water-rich environment. The area features various playgrounds and largely traffic-calmed streets, making it particularly suitable for families. Supermarkets, sports facilities, primary schools, and public transport are all within walking distance. The vibrant city center can be reached by bicycle in just a few minutes via a scenic route along the dike. Several major roads are also easily accessible without traffic congestion.
Additional features of note include the professional repainting of the exterior in November 2023, sun screens controllable via app and remote, and smooth plastered walls and ceilings throughout the residence. The property is delivered in move-in condition with acceptance date to be agreed upon. Two bathrooms are present, both equipped with underfloor heating that can be individually controlled. The home contains a total of five rooms, configured as four bedrooms, with two bathrooms and one separate toilet.
