Upsides
- The converted garage now includes a sauna with shower facilities, providing an unusual wellness feature rarely found in homes of this type and era.
- The property is located near De Wrange forest area with direct walking access via Watertapweg, offering excellent recreational opportunities in a natural setting.

- The toilet is located within the bathroom rather than being separate, which can be inconvenient when the bathroom is occupied by another person.
- The property dates from 1982, and while some updates have been made, certain elements such as the kitchen and general finishes may reflect the original construction era.
Description
This detached property is situated on the Frans Roesstraat in the village of Gaanderen, offering a residential setting that combines tranquility with convenient access to local amenities. The home was originally constructed in 1982 and presents a practical layout with various additional spaces that provide flexibility for different lifestyle needs.
The interior of the residence features a generous L-shaped living room that was created through a side extension. This addition has resulted in a bright and spacious living area that benefits from natural light. The living room is equipped with a gas fireplace for atmospheric warmth, air conditioning for temperature control during warmer months, and a solid parquet floor that adds character to the space. The combination of these elements creates a comfortable environment for daily living and entertaining.
Adjacent to the living area is the kitchen, arranged in a practical corner layout. The kitchen includes several built-in appliances for convenience, specifically an induction cooktop, extractor hood, refrigerator, combination oven, and dishwasher. This setup allows for efficient meal preparation and accommodates everyday cooking requirements.
A utility room connects to the kitchen, providing laundry connections and serving as a transitional space with access to both the garden and the former garage area. This arrangement keeps household chores organized and separate from the main living spaces.
The original garage has been repurposed into two distinct areas. One section functions as storage space, while the other has been converted into a sauna room complete with shower facilities. This conversion adds a wellness element to the home that is uncommon for properties of this type and era. Behind the former garage, an additional storage and hobby room of over 14 square meters has been added. This multifunctional space is suitable for various purposes including hobbies, DIY projects, storage of bicycles and tools, or general workshop activities.
The first floor is accessed via a landing that leads to three bedrooms and a modern bathroom. The bathroom was renovated in 2019 and includes a double vanity, wall-hung toilet, and a spacious walk-in shower. A storage cupboard on the landing provides additional organizational space for household items.
The attic is reachable via a pull-down ladder and serves primarily as a storage area. This space houses the Nefit central heating boiler, which dates from 2019, as well as an electric boiler for hot water. While not a full living floor, the attic offers valuable additional storage capacity.
The exterior of the property features well-maintained front, side, and rear gardens. The garden has been thoughtfully designed and is kept in excellent condition. A private groundwater well provides a convenient water source for garden irrigation. A covered terrace offers an outdoor seating area protected from direct sun or light rain, extending the usability of the outdoor space throughout different weather conditions. A lockable gate at the side of the property provides secure access to the rear garden.
The surrounding area contributes significantly to the appeal of this location. The property is positioned on a quiet road within a residential neighborhood, yet it offers immediate proximity to the countryside. Residents can walk via the nearby Watertapweg directly to De Wrange, a beautiful forest area with walking and cycling routes through varied landscapes.
Gaanderen itself is an active village with a range of daily amenities. Local facilities include supermarkets, a bakery, a drugstore, and various dining establishments. The village also offers sports facilities, cultural amenities, schools, and childcare options. The presence of a train station in Gaanderen enhances connectivity and makes this location practical for commuters.
The property sits on a plot of 434 square meters with a total building volume of 570 cubic meters. The living area measures 127 square meters, with an additional 34 square meters of other indoor space and 29 square meters of attached outdoor space. The roof is a gable roof covered with tiles, consistent with the architectural style typical of the region and construction period.
Technical features of the home include insulation on the roof, walls, and floors, as well as double glazing on the windows. The property has natural ventilation, roller shutters, a sliding door, fiber optic cable, and TV cable connections. Solar panels are also installed on the property, contributing to energy efficiency.
The asking price for this property is 519,000 euros, with the buyer responsible for transfer costs. The property is available for viewing through the listing agent, and the acceptance terms are open to negotiation. Additional detailed information, including floor plans and environmental data, is available on a dedicated website referenced in the listing.
This home presents an opportunity for buyers seeking a detached property in a green and quiet setting while maintaining access to village conveniences and natural recreational areas. The combination of living space, converted garage with sauna, additional hobby room, and well-kept garden offers practical and lifestyle benefits for various types of occupants.
