Description
This charming terraced house, built in 1901, is situated in the vibrant heart of Terneuzen, offering a unique opportunity for those seeking a property with character and renovation potential. The property spans approximately 122 square meters of living space across two floors, with an additional attic space accessible via a fixed staircase, providing versatile options for storage or the creation of a hobby room or home office.
Upon entering the property, you are welcomed into a spacious hallway that houses the staircase to the first floor and features a practical pantry cupboard beneath the stairs. From this central hallway, you have direct access to the generously sized living room, which enjoys an abundance of natural light throughout the day. The closed kitchen, which has been recently renewed, offers a modern and well-presented appearance, creating an excellent foundation for culinary activities. Adjacent to the kitchen, you will find a utility room that also accommodates the toilet facilities and provides access to the garden area.
The rear garden, measuring 59 square meters with dimensions of 9.43 meters deep and 6.29 meters wide, offers a pleasant outdoor space that, with some attention and care, can be transformed into a lovely relaxation area. The garden faces northwest and includes a substantial stone storage shed of no less than 26 square meters, equipped with electricity. This storage facility provides ample space for bicycles, tools, or other belongings that require secure, weatherproof storage.
Moving to the first floor, you will discover three spacious bedrooms, each benefiting from abundant natural light and offering various configuration possibilities. The bathroom is currently not finished, presenting the new owner with the opportunity to design and complete this space entirely according to personal taste and requirements. The second floor is accessible via a fixed staircase and offers a large attic space suitable for various purposes, from additional storage to a dedicated workspace or hobby area.
The property features several notable characteristics that contribute to its appeal. Original stained glass windows are present throughout the house, adding warmth and an authentic atmosphere that is increasingly sought after in the current real estate market. These Art Nouveau or early 20th century details serve as a reminder of the property's historical heritage and add significant visual interest to the interior spaces.
In terms of energy performance, the property holds an energy label D. The roof has been equipped with insulation, and the windows are partially double glazed. Heating and hot water are provided by a central heating combi boiler manufactured by Intergas, dating from 2012 and owned outright by the current owners. These features indicate that while some improvements could enhance energy efficiency further, the property is not in a poor state of energy performance.
The location of this property is one of its most significant advantages. Positioned in the center of Terneuzen, the house offers excellent proximity to all daily amenities, shops, restaurants, and public transport connections. Despite this central position, the property enjoys a surprisingly open view at the front, overlooking green spaces. This combination of urban convenience and visual openness creates a pleasant living environment that balances the energy of city life with moments of tranquility.
The property is legally registered in the land registry as Terneuzen L 128, with a full ownership status. The total plot size is 164 square meters, which includes the house, garden, and storage facilities.
It should be noted that this property is classified as a renovation project, as indicated by the specific designation Kluswoning. While the kitchen has been modernized and serves as an excellent starting point, the bathroom requires completion, and general finishing work is still needed throughout the property. This characteristic makes the property particularly suitable for individuals who enjoy renovation projects and wish to personalize their future home according to their specific preferences and requirements.
Parking in the immediate vicinity is available through paid parking and parking permits, which is standard for properties located in the city center of Terneuzen.
In summary, this property offers a solid foundation of 122 square meters of living space, with original architectural details that add significant character. The central location, combined with the garden, storage facilities, and renovation potential, presents an attractive proposition for those willing to invest time and effort in creating their dream home in the heart of Terneuzen.
