Energy-Efficient Terraced Family Home with Garden in Quiet Soest Location
Key Features
Description
This terraced family home is situated in the popular residential neighborhood of Overhees in Soest. The property is located on a quiet, small-scale courtyard where only local traffic is permitted, making it an exceptionally peaceful setting for families with children. At the rear, the house borders a wide green strip, providing a pleasant, unobstructed view of greenery. This combination of tranquility and a central location makes the property particularly appealing for those seeking a balanced living environment.
The location offers excellent accessibility to daily amenities. A small shopping center for everyday groceries is literally around the corner, along with several primary schools, a bus stop with connections to Hilversum and Amersfoort, and the RegioCultuurCentrum which houses a library and a children's farm. Within a ten-minute bike ride, residents can reach a train station with direct connections to Utrecht Central Station. The surrounding natural areas, including the Soesterduinen, nearby forests, and the Pijnenburg estate, are also easily accessible by bicycle. For car travel, the highways A1, A27, and A28 are quickly reachable.
The house was originally built in 1978 and has been well-maintained and sustainably upgraded in recent years. It has an energy label A, which is a testament to the energy efficiency improvements that have been made. The property features plastic window frames throughout, twelve solar panels installed in 2020, and air conditioning units that were installed two years ago. The gas-fired central heating boiler dates from 2014 and is owned by the current owners.
Upon entering the home, the spacious layout is immediately apparent. The generous hallway provides access to the meter cupboard and a very spacious toilet room with a sink and practical storage space. From the hallway, one proceeds to the garden-facing living room, where the large folding door with triple glazing immediately catches the eye. This glass door can be fully opened, creating a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living spaces. A practical stair closet offers additional storage, and an intermediate hall leads to the first floor. The ground floor is finished with a neat PVC floor, and the presence of air conditioning ensures comfortable temperatures year-round, both in summer and winter.
The kitchen is located at the front of the house and features a modern cooking island. This arrangement allows cooking and socializing to come together naturally, as family members or guests can easily sit at the island for a cup of coffee, reading the newspaper, or engaging in conversation while meals are being prepared. The kitchen is equipped with a dishwasher, two combi oven/microwave units, a fridge-freezer combination, and a boiler for hot water.
The first floor contains three spacious bedrooms and a particularly generous bathroom. The bathroom is fully equipped with a separate shower, a bathtub, a second toilet, and a double built-in sink. The bedrooms at the rear of the property are additionally fitted with electrically operated roller shutters, providing both light control and additional security.
A fixed staircase leads to the second floor. At the rear, there is a spacious fourth bedroom featuring a large dormer window, an attractive niche, and air conditioning. At the front, a generous multifunctional room is available, currently set up with a washing machine and dryer, the central heating boiler, a large built-in closet wall, and a loft space. This room offers numerous possibilities and could, if desired, be divided into a separate laundry room and an additional bedroom, study, or walk-in closet.
The outdoor spaces are equally well-appointed. With a plot size of 157 square meters, the property includes a pleasant rear garden where one can relax in complete privacy. The garden has been carefully landscaped and functions as an extension of the living space. The glass canopy at the rear facade and the attractive folding door ensure that residents can make the most of outdoor living from the first rays of sunshine. Neat paving, atmospheric lighting, and the free location make this a delightful place to enjoy the sun in privacy. The front garden is laid with low-maintenance paving, and from the front, the practical storage shed is accessible, ideal for storing bicycles and gardening tools. Additionally, residents can park their car on their own property.
The rear garden measures 62 square meters, with dimensions of 11 meters in depth and 5.6 meters in width. It is situated on the northwest side and is accessible via a rear path. The attached stone storage shed is equipped with electricity.
In summary, this is a move-in ready, well-maintained family home on a quiet, green, and exceptionally central location in Soest. The combination of energy efficiency, modern amenities, and a family-friendly environment makes this property suitable for those looking for a comfortable home in a desirable neighborhood.
