Spacious Move-In Ready Terraced Home with Five Bedrooms in Papendrecht
Key Features
Upsides
- The property offers five bedrooms, which is unusually generous for a terraced house of this size and era, providing excellent flexibility for families or those needing home office space.
- Multiple modern comfort features have been installed including air conditioning on two levels, eight solar panels, roller shutters, and outdoor sun awnings, enhancing daily living comfort.
- The kitchen was completely renewed in 2020 with quality finishes and a full set of built in appliances including a boiling water tap, representing a recent significant upgrade.
- The property is presented as move in ready with updated electrical systems and various recent renovations, reducing the need for immediate improvement work.
Downsides
- There is only one bathroom to serve five bedrooms, which may create congestion during morning routines for larger households.
- The property relies on public parking rather than having a private driveway or garage, which can be less convenient in residential areas.
- Despite insulation improvements and solar panels, the energy label remains at B rather than A, indicating there may be limits to the energy efficiency achievable in this 1965 construction.
- The plot size of 136 square meters with a 61 square meter backyard is relatively modest for a five bedroom family home.
Description
This terraced house located in Papendrecht offers a practical and comfortable living space suitable for families. The property was originally built in 1965 and has since undergone various renovations to modernize the interior while maintaining the characteristic layout of its era. With a living area of 118 square meters spread across two main floors and an additional attic level, the residence provides ample room for daily activities and personal retreats.
Upon entering the home, you are welcomed into a hallway that has been updated with a renewed electrical panel. This entrance area also contains a practical storage closet beneath the stairs, a separate toilet room, and the staircase leading to the upper floors. The layout of the ground floor is designed for efficiency and ease of movement between the different living zones.
The living room spans the full depth of the house, creating a bright through lounge that benefits from natural light entering from both the front and rear of the property. This room has been furnished with a modern wall unit and is equipped with air conditioning, which provides additional comfort during warmer periods. The orientation and window placement contribute to a pleasant atmosphere throughout the day.
At the rear of the ground floor, the open kitchen is arranged in an L shape. This kitchen was completely renewed in 2020 and features light colored cabinet fronts paired with an anthracite work surface, giving the space a contemporary appearance. The kitchen is fitted with a range of built in appliances including a five burner gas hob, an oven, a dishwasher, a fridge freezer combination, and a boiling water tap connected to a boiler. A door from the kitchen provides direct access to the backyard.
The first floor accommodates four bedrooms, three of which have been fitted with built in wardrobe space to maximize storage efficiency. A utility closet on the landing offers additional storage for household items. The bathroom on this floor is equipped with a shower cubicle and a vanity unit with sink. This single bathroom serves the household and is positioned conveniently adjacent to the bedrooms.
The second floor reveals substantial additional space that extends the usable area of the home significantly. The front section of this floor functions as a landing area with a Velux skylight that includes sun blinds, a roller blind, and an insect screen. This area also contains connections for washing machines and dryer, with the central heating boiler neatly concealed from view. A home office space has been created here, making it suitable for remote work or as a study area.
The fifth bedroom on this floor is notably spacious and features a dormer window, a raised ridge section that increases headroom, a sink, and air conditioning. Access to this room is through a barn style sliding door. The current layout allows for the possibility of dividing this space into two separate bedrooms if desired. Behind the knee walls, there is considerable additional storage space that can be utilized for seasonal items or belongings that are not needed on a daily basis.
The outdoor areas complement the indoor living spaces. The backyard faces southeast, which ensures it receives sunlight during the morning and early afternoon hours. The garden has been designed to be low maintenance and includes a large terrace area, planted borders, a freestanding stone storage shed, and a rear access path. A full width sun awning on the rear facade provides shade on sunny days. The first and second floors are fitted with roller shutters, and the ground floor front has a screen installed for additional sun protection.
Energy efficiency has been addressed through the installation of eight solar panels and various insulation measures. The property has roof insulation, double glazing, and floor insulation, contributing to its B energy label rating. The heating system consists of a Remeha Tzerra gas fired combination boiler from 2019, which is owned rather than rented.
The property sits on a plot of 136 square meters with the backyard measuring 61 square meters at a depth of 10.20 meters and a width of 5.95 meters. Parking is available on the public road in the vicinity of the property. The home is situated within a residential neighborhood in Papendrecht, providing a settled environment typical of Dutch suburban living.
With six rooms including five bedrooms, this property offers more sleeping accommodation than is common for terraced houses of this vintage. The combination of recent updates to the kitchen and electrical systems, alongside the addition of modern comfort features such as air conditioning and solar panels, positions this home as a practical choice for buyers seeking a turnkey property in an established residential area.
