Historic Rijksmonument with Sunny Garden in Charming Zaltbommel City Centre
Key Features
Description
This charming terraced house is situated on Gamerschestraat in the historic city centre of Zaltbommel, a picturesque town located in the province of Gelderland. The property is officially designated as a rijksmonument, offering future owners the unique opportunity to own a piece of Dutch history while enjoying modern living comforts.
Built around 1800, this characteristic city house spans approximately 160 square metres of living space across three floors, providing ample room for families or those seeking generous urban living. The house retains many original historic features while having been equipped with contemporary amenities over the years.
The ground floor welcomes you with a practical entrance hall, leading into a bright and cosy living room complete with a fireplace and meter cupboard. A central hallway connects to a separate toilet and gives access to the garden-oriented kitchen. This kitchen, designed to face the rear of the property, offers a wonderful space for cooking and dining while looking out onto the private garden. Beneath the kitchen, a fascinating 17th century cellar provides additional storage and a unique historical feature that adds character to the home.
An intermediate floor between the ground and first floor houses a hanging room positioned above the living room, adding to the versatile layout of this property. On this same level, an entresol above the kitchen accommodates a washing machine connection, providing practical laundry facilities without consuming valuable living space.
The first floor features a spacious central landing with built-in storage, offering storage solutions for the household. Two comfortable bedrooms are located on this floor, providing sleeping accommodation away from the living areas. The fully equipped bathroom includes a bath, shower, toilet, bidet, and washbasin, covering all essential daily needs.
The second floor continues the flexible layout with a central multifunctional landing that can serve various purposes, whether as a home office, play area, or additional storage. Two more bedrooms complete the sleeping arrangements, bringing the total number of bedrooms to four. This configuration makes the property particularly suitable for families or those requiring separate work-from-home spaces.
Outdoor living is well accommodated with both front and rear garden areas. The rear garden measures approximately 16 square metres and enjoys a sunny southern orientation, making it an ideal spot for relaxation and outdoor dining during warmer months. A garden shed provides storage for gardening equipment and bicycles. At the front of the property, there is also space to sit on the private stoep under the ornamental lime trees, creating a pleasant transition between the street and the home.
Modernisation and sustainability have been addressed with several recent improvements. The property received eight solar panels in 2021, each with a capacity of 375 watts peak, contributing to reduced energy costs and a smaller environmental footprint. A modern meter cupboard has been installed, ensuring safe and efficient electrical distribution throughout the home. Heating is provided by a central heating system with an Intergas combination boiler from 2012, which heats both the living spaces and the water via a gas-fired boiler.
The exterior of the property features a characteristically Dutch plastered facade with profiled window frames, contributing to the protected cityscape appearance. The roof is constructed as a pitched roof covered with roof tiles, and the property benefits from roof insulation and secondary glazing, which help improve energy efficiency despite the historic construction.
The location places residents within easy walking distance of numerous amenities. Shops, restaurants, cafes, and cultural offerings are all readily accessible in the immediate city centre. The NS train station provides convenient rail connections for commuters or leisure travellers. The city park and river floodplains offer opportunities for recreation and outdoor activities in the natural surroundings of the Waal river area.
The asking price of 450,000 euros costs buyer translates to approximately 2,812 euros per square metre of living space. This price point, combined with the rijksmonument status, may offer potential fiscal advantages for qualifying buyers.
The energy performance certificate rates the property at label C, which is reasonable for a historic building of this age and construction type, particularly given the presence of insulation measures and solar panels.
With a plot size of 94 square metres, the property footprint is typical for urban monuments in historic city centres, where buildings are positioned close together on smaller plots. The total content of the building is approximately 683 cubic metres, indicating good vertical space despite the modest footprint.
Parking in the immediate vicinity is available through paid parking and parking permits, which is standard for historic city centre locations where compact urban planning prioritises pedestrian access and streetscape preservation.
This property represents a rare opportunity to acquire a spacious family home within a protected monument in the heart of Zaltbommel, combining historic architectural character with practical modern living arrangements and sustainable energy features.
