Well-Maintained Family Home with Private Parking in Quiet Sassenheim Neighborhood
Key Features
Upsides
- Private parking on the property's own driveway, which is a valuable convenience in residential areas.
- Excellent location within walking distance of the railway station, shopping centre, village centre, library, and schools, providing easy access to daily necessities.
- Modern central heating boiler (Remeha, installed in 2020) that is owned rather than rented, offering reliability and no ongoing rental costs.
- Quiet street with only local traffic, situated in a family-friendly neighborhood that is particularly suitable for households with children.
- Updated bathroom with electric underfloor heating, modern fixtures, and a shower cubicle.
Downsides
- Energy label D indicates moderate energy efficiency, which may result in higher energy bills compared to more efficiently rated properties.
- Only partly fitted with HR++ glazing, meaning some windows may still have older, less efficient glass.
- Flat roof with bituminous covering, which typically requires more frequent maintenance and has a shorter lifespan than pitched roofs.
- Living area of 84 square metres is relatively compact for a property with an asking price of €419,000.
- Property dates from 1961, which means it may have inherent characteristics of older construction that some buyers might find less appealing.
Description
This well-maintained family home is situated on Freesiastraat in Sassenheim, offering a practical and comfortable living space suitable for first-time buyers or young families. The property was originally constructed in 1961 and has been properly maintained over the years, resulting in a home that is ready to move into without requiring immediate major renovations or improvements.
The location of this property is one of its most notable attributes. Freesiastraat is a quiet street that only sees local traffic, making it particularly suitable for families with children who may play outside. The surrounding neighborhood is characterized as family-friendly, with other residential properties creating a peaceful living environment. Despite the quiet nature of the street, the property benefits from excellent connectivity to various amenities and transportation options.
Within walking distance, residents will find the NS railway station, a shopping centre, the village centre, a library, and several schools. This proximity to daily necessities means that many errands and activities can be accomplished on foot or by bicycle. For those who commute to work or travel regularly, the nearby railway station provides direct connections to larger cities. Additionally, the property has good access to main roads, making cities such as Leiden, The Hague, Haarlem, Amsterdam, and Schiphol Airport easily reachable by car.
The ground floor of the property begins with an entrance hall that provides access to several practical spaces. The meter cupboard is located here, containing seven circuits and two residual-current devices for electrical safety. There is also a storage cupboard situated under the stairs, which offers additional space for storing items such as shoes, cleaning supplies, or other household goods. A cloakroom area is present, providing a designated spot for coats and jackets. The ground floor toilet is also accessible from the hallway and features a wall-mounted WC for easy cleaning underneath.
The living room is described as bright and benefits from an open connection to the semi-open kitchen. This layout creates a sense of flow between the cooking and living areas, which is practical for daily family life and for entertaining guests. The entire ground floor has been finished with laminate flooring, providing a consistent and tidy appearance throughout these spaces.
The kitchen is equipped with a modern matt-black cooker and a dishwasher, offering the essential appliances for meal preparation and cleanup. Adjoining the kitchen is a separate utility and storage room, which houses the connections for both a washing machine and a tumble dryer. This dedicated laundry space keeps these appliances out of the main living areas while still being conveniently located. The utility room also provides direct access to the rear garden, making it easy to hang laundry outside or to move between the indoor and outdoor spaces during warmer months.
The first floor of the property accommodates three bedrooms and the main bathroom. The landing on this floor includes a cupboard positioned above the stairwell that houses the central heating boiler. This boiler is a Remeha combi-ketel that was installed in 2020, meaning it is relatively new and should provide reliable heating and hot water for years to come. The fact that the boiler is owned rather than rented is an advantage for the new owner.
The principal bedroom is located at the front of the property and is described as spacious. This room includes fitted wardrobes, which provide built-in storage space and help keep the room organized without the need for additional freestanding furniture. The second and third bedrooms are both situated at the rear of the property. Like the principal bedroom, both of these rooms also feature fitted storage cupboards, ensuring that each bedroom has adequate closet space for the occupants.
The bathroom on this floor has been updated to a modern standard. It is equipped with a vanity unit that includes storage, a shower cubicle, and a wall-mounted toilet. A designer radiator adds both functionality and a contemporary touch to the space. The bathroom floor is finished with tiles and includes electric underfloor heating, which provides warmth underfoot and helps to dry the floor more quickly after showering.
The outdoor spaces of this property include both a front and rear garden. The rear garden measures 47 square metres, with dimensions of approximately 7.97 metres in depth and 5.84 metres in width. The garden is oriented to the northeast and is described as well-maintained. A rear access path provides an alternative entry point to the property without having to go through the house, which can be convenient for accessing the garden or storage shed from the back.
At the rear of the garden stands a sizeable brick storage shed that is equipped with electricity. This shed provides valuable additional storage space and is suitable for housing bicycles, gardening equipment, or other items that may not need to be kept inside the main house. Having a dedicated outdoor storage building is particularly useful for maintaining a clutter-free interior.
At the front of the property, there is a private driveway that provides parking space on the property's own grounds. In areas where on-street parking can be competitive, having a dedicated parking spot is a significant convenience that adds to the practical appeal of this home.
From a technical perspective, the property has several features worth noting. The window frames are predominantly made of uPVC, which requires less maintenance than traditional wooden frames. Part of the property has been fitted with HR++ high-efficiency glazing, which provides better insulation than standard double glazing. The property has floor insulation, which helps to reduce heat loss through the ground floor. The roof is a flat roof covered with bituminous roofing material, which is a common roofing type for properties of this era and construction style.
The property has an energy label D, which indicates a moderate level of energy efficiency. While not the highest rating available, this is typical for a property of this age and construction type. The presence of some HR++ glazing and floor insulation suggests that some energy efficiency improvements have already been made.
The property is connected to fiber optic cable and TV cable, ensuring that modern communication and entertainment options are available to the new owner. The cadastral designation for this property is SASSENHEIM A 8541, and it is held in full ownership (volle eigendom), meaning there are no leasehold or ground lease considerations to contend with.
With a living area of 84 square metres and a total plot size of 129 square metres, this property offers a compact but functional living space. The volume of the property is 284 cubic metres. The property spans two main living levels, which is a typical configuration for this type of Dutch family home.
This property on Freesiastraat presents itself as a straightforward, well-maintained home in a convenient location. The combination of private parking, proximity to amenities and transportation, and the presence of modern updates such as the 2020 boiler and renovated bathroom make this a property that should appeal to those seeking a practical home in the Sassenheim area.
