Key Features
Description
This terraced family home is situated on Gladiolenstraat in the Bloemenbuurt district of Sassenheim. The property was originally built in 1961 and has since been maintained to a good standard. The asking price is set at 420,000 euros, which is payable by the buyer including transfer costs. With a living area of 84 square meters and a total plot size of 133 square meters, this residence offers practical living space suitable for families or couples looking for a comfortable home in a well connected location.
The ground floor layout begins with an entrance hall that provides access to the meter cupboard, the staircase leading to the first floor, a practical understairs storage cupboard, and a separate toilet. The living room is designed as a through room, meaning it spans the full width of the property and benefits from windows on both the front and rear facades. This configuration allows for abundant natural daylight to enter throughout the day, creating a pleasant and inviting atmosphere in the main living area.
Adjacent to the living room at the rear of the property is the open plan kitchen. The kitchen is arranged in an L shaped configuration, which makes efficient use of the available space. It comes equipped with several built in appliances that are included in the sale. These appliances consist of a dishwasher, a gas hob with an extractor hood above, an oven, and a combined refrigerator and freezer unit. The rear door of the kitchen opens directly onto the back garden, providing convenient indoor outdoor access during warmer months.
The first floor of the property contains three bedrooms, making it suitable for a family with children or for those requiring a home office space in addition to sleeping quarters. The listing notes that this floor has been efficiently laid out and includes several built in storage cupboards, which helps maximize the usable space in the bedrooms. The bathroom on this floor is fully fitted and features a shower enclosure, a vanity unit with washbasin, and a towel radiator for added comfort.
The outdoor spaces of this property consist of both a front garden and a back garden. The front garden faces southeast, which means it receives morning and early afternoon sun. The back garden faces northwest, offering afternoon and evening sunlight as well as shaded areas during the hotter parts of the day. The back garden measures 56 square meters with dimensions of 9.50 meters in depth and 5.90 meters in width. A side passage provides access to the rear of the property, eliminating the need to carry items such as bicycles through the house.
At the rear of the garden, there is a freestanding stone storage shed that is connected to electricity. This shed provides useful space for storing bicycles, garden equipment, and other items that need to be kept outside the main living areas. The total external storage space is recorded as 10 square meters.
In terms of energy efficiency, the property currently holds an energy label D. Insulation measures have been implemented at the roof, in the form of double glazing for the windows, and at the walls. The heating and hot water system consists of a gas fired combination boiler manufactured by Remeha. This boiler was installed in 2023 and is owned by the current proprietor, meaning it will transfer to the new owner as part of the sale. Having a relatively new boiler is a practical advantage as it reduces the likelihood of immediate replacement costs.
