Spacious Detached Family Home with Office Space and Sustainable Features
Key Features
Upsides
- Energy label A with 14 solar panels, ensuring low energy costs and sustainable living.
- Flexible layout with a separate entrance to the former garage, allowing for a home office, practice space, or conversion to a ground-floor bedroom for accessible living.
- Spacious southwest-facing garden of 256 square meters with multiple terraces, a wooden shed, a chalet, and a private groundwater well for garden irrigation.
- Two air conditioning units provide additional comfort during warm periods, one in the living room and one in the master bedroom.
- Parking for multiple vehicles on the private driveway, which is a valuable feature in a residential neighborhood.
Downsides
- Only one bathroom is available to serve five bedrooms, which may be insufficient for larger families or households with multiple occupants.
- The central heating boiler dates from 2014 and may require replacement in the coming years, representing a potential future expense.
- The kitchen has a ceramic cooktop rather than a more modern induction cooktop, which may not meet the preferences of all buyers.
- Converting the office space to a ground-floor bedroom with bathroom would require additional renovation work and costs, as this is not currently in place.
- The second floor is currently only a storage attic and would need work to become a fully functional additional bedroom or living space.
Description
This detached family residence is situated in a quiet, green neighborhood within the historic town of Doesburg. The property offers a combination of space, comfort, and future-proof living arrangements that appeal to families, home workers, and those seeking accessible living options on the ground floor.
The ground floor entrance features a glass facade that allows natural light to enter the home. A modern toilet is located near the entrance, and a door leads directly to the living area. The living room provides a comfortable space for gathering, with a lounge area at the front featuring a wood-burning fireplace with a mantelpiece that creates a cozy atmosphere. The entire living space has a practical tiled floor equipped with comfortable underfloor heating. At the rear of the property, there is a spacious dining area that connects seamlessly to the garden through a large sliding door, making it an ideal setting for extended meals with family and friends.
The kitchen is arranged in a practical layout and includes various built-in appliances such as a refrigerator, dishwasher, ceramic cooktop, combination oven/microwave, and an extractor hood. The kitchen is finished with a granite countertop and a stainless steel sink. From the kitchen, one can access an intermediate hall that is also directly accessible from the driveway. This space offers multiple possibilities. Currently, the former garage is partially set up as storage and partially as office space. Due to the clever layout, a ground-floor bedroom can be easily realized here. Combined with a bathroom, this creates a fully accessible living solution for those who prefer or require single-level living. The intermediate hall also serves as a practical utility room with space for the central heating system, an additional refrigerator, and a freezer.
The first floor is reached via a fixed staircase from the kitchen. The landing provides access to three spacious bedrooms and the modern bathroom. Two bedrooms are located at the front of the property and both have access to the enclosed balcony. The third bedroom is situated at the rear of the home. The spacious master bedroom features a practical built-in closet wall. The bathroom has been recently renovated in a contemporary style and includes a generous walk-in shower, a wall-hung toilet, a vanity unit with mirror cabinets, and a designer radiator. Underfloor heating is present in the bathroom for additional comfort.
The second floor is accessed via a fixed staircase from the landing. This space is currently used as a storage attic and guest room, but offers ample possibilities for creating an additional bedroom, hobby room, or home workspace. The attic has a Velux skylight at the front, providing sufficient daylight. The central heating installation is also located on this floor. A radiator is present, making this level comfortable to use as full living space.
The front of the property features a spacious driveway with parking for multiple vehicles on private property. The front garden is attractively landscaped and framed by stylish fencing with masonry columns. Ornamental plants, attractive trees, and a cozy seating area near the front entrance complete the picture. This is a pleasant spot to enjoy the morning sun in peace.
The rear garden serves as a natural extension of the home and exudes tranquility, space, and greenery. Thanks to its favorable southwest orientation, the garden enjoys sunlight for most of the day. The generous plot is laid out with a well-maintained lawn, various terraces, and colorful borders that provide an attractive appearance throughout the season. Additionally, the garden includes a freestanding wooden shed and an extra wooden chalet, ideal as a hobby space, storage, or play area. The garden is attractively enclosed on all sides by mature hedges and a recently installed fence, ensuring a high degree of privacy. At the rear of the garden, there is a private groundwater well, which is convenient for watering the lawn and plants.
The property is well-prepared energetically for the coming years. With fourteen solar panels and an energy label A, residents can enjoy comfortable, sustainable, and energy-efficient living. The home is also equipped with two air conditioning units, one in the living room and one in the master bedroom, providing additional climate control during warmer periods.
The property is located in a free-sector neighborhood of Doesburg, a historic town with various amenities. Public transport and a supermarket are within walking distance, and the surrounding area offers numerous walking opportunities in a green environment.
The home has a total living area of 161 square meters, with an additional 5 square meters of indoor utility space and 13 square meters of attached outdoor space. The plot measures 518 square meters, with the rear garden being 256 square meters with a depth and width of 16 meters each. The property has a volume of 616 cubic meters and features a gable roof covered with tiles.
Other features include an alarm system, mechanical ventilation, roller shutters, a flue for the fireplace, and TV cabling. The windows feature double glazing and the property is fully insulated.
