Description
This corner townhouse, known as Blok M, offers a generous 152 square meters of living space spread across three floors. The layout is particularly well suited for those who appreciate having dedicated rooms for different activities without the need to use every space daily. With four bedrooms available, there is ample room for a master bedroom, children's rooms, a home office, and a guest room, all within the same property.
The property features a distinctive garden orientation on both the west and east sides of the house. This dual orientation means that the morning light enters from one direction, creating a pleasant start to the day in the eastern garden area, while the western garden catches the afternoon and evening sun, providing an ideal setting to unwind after work with a drink on the terrace. The larger plot of 133 square meters gives meaningful outdoor space that enhances the overall living experience.
The kitchen and bathroom come fully equipped as part of the purchase, meaning new owners will move into a home that is genuinely turnkey in these important areas. The kitchen is described as modern, and the bathroom is complete. One notable feature is that this specific unit comes with its own energy system in full ownership, which is included in the purchase price. This ownership of the energy system can provide long term benefits for energy costs and sustainability.
Energy efficiency is a strong point for this property, with an A++++ energy label. This top rating indicates very low energy consumption, which benefits both the environment and the monthly utility costs. The property also features mechanical ventilation as part of its standard equipment.
The location places residents along a green avenue directly adjacent to the Wadituin, a local garden or green space. The Utrecht city center remains accessible by bicycle, making this a practical option for those who work or study in the city but prefer residential living in a quieter neighborhood. Leeuwesteyn is a newer residential area in Utrecht, developed with attention to green spaces and connectivity.
Parking is provided via a private parking space in a parking garage, which protects the vehicle from weather and provides security. Additionally, there is a storage unit in the backyard for bicycles, tools, or other belongings that benefit from being kept outside the main living space.
The property is being sold under SWK Garantiecertificaat, which provides construction warranty coverage typical for new build homes in the Netherlands. The anticipated completion date is 2026, which is standard for new construction projects of this nature.
The property is offered from €925,000 free on name (vrij op naam), meaning the buyer pays transfer taxes and registration fees. Various facade colors and variants are available, allowing for some personalization of the home's exterior appearance. It should be noted that for this specific unit, there is no option to create a second bathroom in the attic space.
The home totals five rooms with four designated as bedrooms, providing flexibility in how the spaces are used. The three floor layout creates natural separation between living, sleeping, and working zones within the home.

Mandatory for new constructions and essential for achieving an A++++ energy label.
Floor Insulation
Mandatory for new constructions and essential for achieving an A++++ energy label.
Roof Insulation
Mandatory for new constructions and essential for achieving an A++++ energy label.
Heat Pump
The 'own energy system' combined with an A++++ label in a 2026 Dutch new build strongly points towards an all-electric system with a heat pump, as gas boilers are phased out for new constructions.
Other Energy Efficiency Measures
