Description
This spacious single-family home, built in 1987, is located in a quiet residential area in Venlo and offers a practical and complete living environment with plenty of possibilities. The property features four bedrooms, making it particularly suitable for families and starters looking for a home with ample sleeping and working space. The house has an energy label A rating and is equipped with nine solar panels that are included in the purchase, which contributes to lower energy costs and a more sustainable lifestyle.
The location of this property is one of its notable aspects. Situated in a peaceful neighborhood, residents can enjoy the tranquility of suburban living while still having convenient access to various amenities. Shops, schools, playgrounds, and daily necessities are all within easy reach, which adds to the appeal for households with children. The city center of Venlo, major roads, and surrounding facilities are also easily accessible, allowing residents to benefit from both a quiet home environment and urban conveniences whenever needed.
Venlo itself offers an attractive combination of city amenities, green spaces, and recreational opportunities. The city has developed into a pleasant place to live, with a historic center, various shopping facilities, and numerous options for relaxation and leisure activities. The surrounding countryside provides additional options for walking, cycling, and enjoying nature.
The ground floor of the property begins with a maintained front garden that creates a welcoming approach to the house. Upon entering, you find yourself in the entrance hall where the toilet room with a small sink and the meter cupboard are located. This layout provides a clear and organized entry point to the home. From the entrance, you proceed directly to the living room, which feels pleasantly bright thanks to the large windows on both sides. This natural light gives the space an open atmosphere and makes it easy to arrange the room according to your own preferences, whether that involves a comfortable seating area, a long dining table, a play area for children, or a workspace. A storage cupboard under the stairs offers practical space for shoes, supplies, or toys. A door from the living room leads to the hall with the staircase to the first floor.
At the rear of the ground floor is the kitchen, which was installed in 2005. The combi microwave and the stove were replaced in 2021, representing a more recent update to the kitchen appliances. From the kitchen, you can step directly into the backyard.
The backyard faces northwest, which is a favorable orientation for those who prefer a garden that does not have full sun all day long but still allows you to enjoy the afternoon and evening sun on nice days. At the back of the garden stands a brick shed, which is ideal for storing bicycles, gardening tools, supplies, or anything else you prefer to keep neatly out of sight. The garden measures 62 square meters with a depth of 11.30 meters and a width of 5.46 meters.
The first floor is accessed via a fixed staircase and features a landing that provides access to three bedrooms. These rooms measure approximately 11 square meters, 12 square meters, and 6 square meters respectively. This configuration offers ample space for sleeping, working, accommodating guests, or setting up a children's room. The smallest room of approximately 6 square meters could serve well as a nursery, study, or hobby room. The bathroom on this floor is equipped with a bathtub, a toilet, and a washbasin.
The second floor is reached via a fixed staircase from the first floor landing. Here you will find the central heating boiler, the laundry connection, and a fourth bedroom measuring approximately 12 square meters. This additional bedroom makes the property more spacious than might be expected at first glance, providing flexibility for growing families or those who need a home office.
Above the second floor, there is also an attic space that can be used for storing suitcases, Christmas decorations, and other items that are not needed daily but that you want to keep. This extra storage space is a practical addition to the home.
In terms of technical specifications, the property has a total living area of 101 square meters and an external storage space of 6 square meters. The plot covers 132 square meters, and the total volume of the house is 362 cubic meters. The house has three residential levels plus an attic. The roof is a gable roof covered with tiles.
The energy efficiency of the property is noteworthy. With an energy label A rating, the house benefits from roof insulation, high-efficiency glazing, wall insulation, and floor insulation. The nine solar panels are owned, meaning they transfer with the property and will continue to contribute to reduced energy bills for the new owners.
Heating and hot water are provided by a Vaillant ecoTEC Plus VHR 25-30/5-5 gas-fired combination boiler from 2016. It is important to note that this boiler is rented, with a monthly cost of 39.93 euros. This is an ongoing expense that prospective buyers should factor into their monthly housing costs.
The property is offered at a purchase price of 299,500 euros, which translates to approximately 2,965 euros per square meter of living space. The asking price is subject to negotiation, and the transfer is in consultation, which is standard practice in the Dutch housing market. The property is currently available and the ownership situation is full ownership.
Parking is available on public roads in the area, as there is no private parking space or garage associated with the property. The house is connected to a TV cable, and the presence of solar panels has already been mentioned as a notable feature of the home.
All measurements and surface areas provided are indicative and based on the NEN2580 measurement instruction, which is intended to provide a more uniform method of measuring to give an indication of the usable surface area. However, this measurement instruction does not completely eliminate differences in measurement results due to interpretation differences, rounding, or limitations.
