Fully Renovated Upper House with Private Roof Terrace in Popular Utrecht Neighbourhood
Key Features
Description
This spacious upper house is situated on Goedestraat in the heart of the beloved Wittevrouwen neighbourhood, one of Utrecht's most sought-after residential areas. The property offers approximately 118 square metres of living space spread across three floors plus a finished attic, making it an ideal home for families, couples, or professionals seeking ample room in a central location.
The building itself dates from 1880 and features a characteristic mansarde roof covered with tiles. What makes this particular property stand out is its comprehensive renovation completed in 2025. Every aspect of the home has been thoughtfully updated to meet modern standards while maintaining the charm of the original construction. The walls and ceilings have been freshly plastered throughout, giving each room a clean and sophisticated appearance. All electrical wiring and plumbing have been replaced, ensuring peace of mind for the new owner regarding the technical condition of the property.
Upon entering the home, you arrive in a hallway with stairs leading to the upper floors. The first floor houses the main living area, which consists of a bright and airy living room with an open plan kitchen at the rear of the property. The kitchen has been fitted with modern appliances including an induction cooktop, a combined refrigerator and freezer, and an oven. This open layout creates an inviting space for cooking, dining, and entertaining. Also located on this floor are a practical laundry room and a separate toilet.
The second floor contains two generously proportioned bedrooms and a bathroom. The master bedroom at the rear of the house provides access to the private roof terrace. The bathroom features a walk-in shower, a washbasin, and vanity unit. The layout of this floor ensures comfortable separation between sleeping quarters and living areas.
The top floor consists of a spacious attic room with a dormer window. This versatile space can serve as a third bedroom, a home office, or a hobby room depending on the needs of the new owner. The presence of this additional room increases the functionality of the property significantly.
One of the standout features of this property is the private roof terrace measuring approximately 8 square metres. With dimensions of 3.42 metres in depth and 2.41 metres in width, this outdoor space is oriented to the west, offering excellent afternoon and evening sun. Residents can enjoy breakfast in the morning sun, host gatherings with friends during warm summer evenings, or simply relax with a book in their own private outdoor oasis. The terrace provides a rare opportunity to enjoy outdoor living in an urban environment.
The energy performance of the property has been rated with an energy label C. This rating reflects the improvements made during the renovation, including the installation of double glazing throughout. The property is heated and supplied with hot water via a gas-fired combination boiler that was installed in 2023 and is owned by the homeowner. An energy label C rating represents reasonable energy efficiency for a property of this age and type, balancing historic character with modern comfort.
The monthly costs associated with this property include a homeowners association contribution of 55 euros per month. This fee covers maintenance of the building's common areas and contributes to a reserve fund. The small-scale homeowners association is properly registered with the Chamber of Commerce and holds annual meetings. An buildings insurance policy is in place for the property. The monthly VvE contribution is notably reasonable for this type of ownership structure.
Location-wise, this upper house benefits from an enviable position within Wittevrouwen. The neighbourhood is known for its pleasant residential character, with tree-lined streets and a mix of architectural styles. Biltstraat is located nearby and offers a variety of shops, supermarkets, cafes, and restaurants for daily necessities and leisure. The city centre of Utrecht with its theatres, museums, restaurants, and vibrant squares is within walking distance, making car-free living highly practical.
Parking in the area is available through paid parking and resident permits. Public transportation connections are excellent, with multiple bus and tram options accessible from nearby streets. The central train station of Utrecht is reachable within minutes, providing connections to the rest of the Netherlands.
The property includes a conversion permit for four rooms, which adds flexibility to the use of the space. This permit may be of interest to those considering generating rental income or accommodating multiple occupants.
The property is immediately available for occupation, subject to mutual agreement on the transfer date. All fixtures and fittings that were installed during the renovation are included in the sale. The asking price of 649,000 euros is inclusive of transfer taxes and other purchase-related costs.
This renovated upper house presents an attractive opportunity for buyers seeking a turnkey property in a prime Utrecht location. The combination of historical architecture, comprehensive modern updates, private outdoor space, and practical layout makes it suitable for a wide range of buyers. The property requires no immediate investment or renovation work, allowing the new owner to move in and enjoy their new home without delay.
The neighbourhood of Wittevrouwen continues to be popular among young families, professionals, and anyone who appreciates living in an area with good local amenities while remaining close to the cultural offerings of a major city. Properties in this area that have been fully renovated tend to command premium prices due to the limited supply and high demand.
