Description
This townhouse is part of a new development project located in Utrecht, specifically situated in Block M. The property offers a generous living area of approximately 150 square meters spread across three distinct living levels. With six rooms in total, including five bedrooms, this home provides considerable space and flexibility for families at various stages of life.
The layout of this herenhuis has been designed to accommodate the natural flow of daily family life. The ground floor serves as the central gathering space during the daytime hours, where family members come together for meals, conversation, and shared activities. As the evening progresses, the three-level design allows each person to retreat to their own floor or room, creating a natural separation between the more active communal areas and the quieter personal spaces.
The five bedrooms offer numerous possibilities for how the space can be organized. Families with children can designate specific rooms for each child, while also maintaining a dedicated home office space for remote work. A guest room can be set aside for visiting family members or friends who wish to stay overnight. This flexibility means the home can adapt as family needs change over time, whether that involves growing children requiring their own spaces or the need for a dedicated hobby room.
The outdoor space consists of a west-facing garden, which is particularly advantageous for those who enjoy spending time outside during the evening hours. A west-facing orientation means the garden receives sunlight later into the day, allowing residents to enjoy a drink or simply relax outdoors after work while the light lingers. A storage shed is located in the backyard, providing practical space for garden tools, bicycles, and other outdoor equipment.
Block M, where this property is located, borders the Wadituin. This green inner area provides a pleasant and tranquil backdrop to the row of homes, offering residents immediate access to greenery right next to their living environment. The location within a residential neighborhood further contributes to a calm and family-friendly atmosphere.
The property comes with a modern kitchen and a complete bathroom as standard inclusions. The bathroom is equipped with a shower, a double sink, a bathtub, and a toilet. Additionally, there is a separate toilet on another level. For households that could benefit from an additional bathroom, there is an option to add a second bathroom on the attic floor, which can be particularly practical in a home with multiple occupants.
One notable feature of this property is the inclusion of an owned energy system. Having this system in private ownership gives residents direct insight into and control over their energy consumption. This aligns with the excellent energy rating of A++++, indicating that the home meets the highest standards of energy efficiency. Such a rating typically results in lower energy costs and a reduced environmental footprint, which is increasingly important to many homebuyers.
The property also includes a private parking space located in a parking garage. This is a valuable feature in urban areas where on-street parking can be limited or require separate permits. Having a designated parking spot adds convenience and security for vehicle owners.
As a new construction property with an expected completion year of 2026, this home comes with an SWK Guarantee Certificate. This certificate provides buyers with additional assurance regarding the quality of construction and offers protection against potential defects that may arise after completion. The guarantee covers various aspects of the building process and the finished structure, giving peace of mind to the new owners.
The property is offered at a price starting from 900,000 euros, which is calculated on a vrij op naam basis, meaning the transfer costs are included in this price. The price per square meter comes to approximately 6,000 euros. Buyers should be aware that different facade colors and variants are available within the development, allowing for some degree of personalization in the exterior appearance of the home.
The plot size is 114 square meters, and the total volume of the property measures 398 cubic meters. Mechanical ventilation is installed throughout the home, contributing to good indoor air quality and comfort. The property is classified as a townhouse or terraced house, which is consistent with its location within a connected row of homes in Block M.
For families that are growing and require more space, this property presents a practical solution. The combination of multiple bedrooms, multiple levels, and the option to add a second bathroom addresses the needs of a fuller household where sharing facilities can become challenging. The separation of living spaces across three floors helps manage the balance between communal family time and individual privacy.
The inclusion of both a kitchen and bathroom in the base specification means that buyers do not need to budget for these major installations separately. This can simplify the purchasing process and reduce the additional costs that often accompany buying a new home. The focus on energy efficiency through the A++++ rating and the privately owned energy system also suggests that ongoing running costs will be relatively low compared to older properties.
In summary, this townhouse in Utrecht offers a well-thought-out living arrangement for families seeking space, flexibility, and modern energy standards. The location adjacent to the Wadituin provides a green and peaceful setting, while the west-facing garden extends the living space outdoors into the evening hours. With completion expected in 2026 and the security of an SWK guarantee, this property represents a forward-looking housing option for those planning their medium-term accommodation needs.
