Key Features
Description
Located at the edge of Goor in the Gijmink area, this detached bungalow at Gondalaan 51 offers a combination of space, privacy, and a pleasant living environment. The property is situated on a generous plot of 610 square meters, providing ample room both inside and outside the home. This location at the periphery of Goor ensures a quiet setting while still maintaining good accessibility to the amenities of the town. Goor is a town in the Dutch province of Overijssel, located in the Twente region.
The bungalow was originally built in 1979 and has since been updated with various improvements. The current energy label is C, which is a reasonable rating for a home of this age. The property features roof insulation and wall insulation, contributing to its energy efficiency. Part of the windows have double glazing, while others still have single glazing, which presents an opportunity for further energy improvements by the new owner. Upgrading the remaining windows to double or even triple glazing could improve the energy label and reduce heating costs over time.
The total living area measures 140 square meters, complemented by 32 square meters of other indoor space, likely including the utility room and garage area. The building has a volume of 633 cubic meters. Outside, there is 2 square meters of building-related outdoor space and 11 square meters of external storage space in the form of a free-standing wooden shed. These dimensions indicate a property that offers substantial living space compared to the average Dutch home.
The layout of the home is designed with practicality and comfort in mind. Upon entering through the front door, you reach the entrance hall which provides access to the staircase leading to the first floor and a separate toilet room. From the hall, you enter the light and spacious living room, which features an open fireplace that creates a warm and inviting atmosphere during the colder months. The living room is in open connection with the kitchen, which is equipped with built-in appliances for convenient meal preparation. This open layout between the living room and kitchen creates a cohesive social space that is well-suited for modern living patterns.
Adjacent to the kitchen is a practical utility room that offers additional storage space and provides access to the attached garage. The garage is built of brick and can accommodate one vehicle, with electrical connections available. The garage itself has double glazing, indicating it has been somewhat updated from the original construction. Having an attached garage adds convenience, particularly during inclement weather, and provides secure parking as well as additional storage possibilities.
On the ground floor, there are two comfortable bedrooms, making this level suitable for those who prefer or require single-level living. The ground floor also contains a complete bathroom that includes a bathtub, a shower, a washbasin, and a toilet. This arrangement makes the property well-suited for age-in-place living or for those who wish to minimize the use of stairs in daily life. The presence of both a bathtub and a shower in the bathroom offers flexibility in daily routines.
The first floor of the bungalow houses an additional two bedrooms, providing a total of four sleeping quarters. This level also features a landing with various storage options, including a fixed closet and access to attic space. These upper rooms are ideal for a growing family, as guest rooms, or could serve as home office spaces given the current trend of working from home. The flexibility of having bedrooms on both levels allows the new owners to configure the space according to their specific needs and lifestyle.
The outdoor space is one of the notable features of this property. The garden has been attractively laid out around the entire perimeter of the house, offering multiple spots to enjoy the sun and the peaceful surroundings throughout the day. At the rear of the garden, there is a free-standing canopy constructed from Douglas wood, which is a popular choice for outdoor structures due to its natural durability and attractive appearance. Adjacent to this canopy is a wooden storage shed, providing space for garden equipment, bicycles, or other items that need to be stored outside the main house. This combination of canopy and shed extends the usable outdoor living space significantly.
The property is located on a quiet road with an open view, enhancing the sense of space and tranquility. The 610 square meter plot is divided into two cadastral parcels: GOOR A 2041 measuring 410 square meters and GOOR A 3103 measuring 200 square meters. Both parcels are held in full ownership, providing complete control over the land. This division into two parcels does not affect the usability of the property but may have implications for future development or subdivision.
The heating and hot water system consists of a gas-fired combination boiler from Intergas, installed in 2022. This relatively new boiler is owned by the current owner and will transfer to the buyer as part of the property, eliminating the need for an immediate replacement of this essential system. A modern boiler of this vintage typically has a remaining useful life of ten to fifteen years, providing long-term reliability.
For security, the property is equipped with an alarm system, providing peace of mind for the residents. Parking is available on the private property in the garage and driveway area, as well as on the public road for additional vehicles or visitors. The presence of on-site parking is a valued feature, particularly in areas where street parking may be limited.
The asking price for this property is 575,000 euros, which translates to approximately 4,107 euros per square meter of living space. The price is quoted as costs koper, meaning that the buyer is responsible for the transaction costs such as transfer tax and notary fees, which is the standard practice in the Dutch real estate market.
In connection with the purchase, the seller requires a security deposit or bank guarantee amounting to ten percent of the purchase price. This is a common provision in Dutch property transactions that serves to protect the seller against potential default by the buyer.
As this is an existing property built in 1979, the old age clause will apply to the sale. This clause acknowledges that the construction standards applicable at the time of building were different from current standards, and the buyer accepts that certain aspects of the property may not meet modern construction requirements. This is standard practice for older homes in the Netherlands.
The listing includes a measuring certificate that has been prepared according to the industry-wide measurement instructions. This certificate provides assurance that the stated square meters and cubic meters have been calculated in accordance with the guidelines established by the industry associations, though the listing notes that no rights can be derived from this certificate.
The property is available for viewing and the transfer date can be agreed upon with the seller, offering flexibility for those who need time to arrange their move. Potential buyers are encouraged to engage their own NVM purchase agent to represent their interests in the transaction, as emphasized in the listing.
