Renovated Corner House with Energy Label A and Spacious Garden in Schollevaar
Key Features
Description
This move-in ready corner house is located in the popular Schollevaar district of Capelle aan den IJssel. The property has been thoroughly modernized in recent years and is presented in excellent condition. Situated on a quiet courtyard called Helena erf, the home offers a peaceful residential setting while maintaining excellent connectivity to surrounding amenities and transportation networks.
The living area of the property measures approximately 96 square meters, spread across two main living floors. Additionally, there is a practical attic storage space of 16 square meters and a covered outdoor terrace of 11 square meters. The total building volume is 394 cubic meters. What truly sets this property apart within its price category is the generous amount of private land surrounding the home. The original plot measured 287 square meters, but the current owners have acquired an additional strip of land from the municipality, bringing the total plot size to approximately 303 or 304 square meters. This creates gardens on three sides of the property: front, side, and rear.
The ground floor layout begins with an entrance hall containing the meter cupboard and a recently renovated toilet. The living room is bright and features an open fireplace, providing a cozy atmosphere during colder months. Adjacent to the living room is a spacious room currently configured as a dining area, equipped with air conditioning for comfort during warm summer days. This particular layout offers flexibility, as the ground floor arrangement could potentially be adapted for single-level living if desired, making the property suitable for those seeking a future-proof home.
The modern kitchen is finished in a light color scheme and includes a pleasant breakfast bar. The kitchen is well-equipped with various built-in appliances, including a refrigerator-freezer combination, dishwasher, oven, microwave, and induction cooktop. This setup makes the kitchen both functional and inviting for daily use and entertaining.
The first floor features a landing that provides access to three bedrooms and the bathroom. A wide dormer window at the rear of the property has been added to create additional space and natural light on this floor. The bathroom has been completely renewed and is fully equipped with a combination bathtub and shower, a vanity unit, and a toilet. All bathroom fixtures are modern and in excellent condition.
Above the first floor, a practical attic storage space offers additional room for storing seasonal items, luggage, and other belongings. This contributes to the overall storage capacity of the property.
The outdoor spaces are a particular highlight of this home. The rear garden faces east, measuring approximately 121 square meters with a depth of 10.17 meters and a width of 11.93 meters. A attractive glass canopy has been installed in the rear garden, extending the outdoor living season significantly and allowing residents to enjoy the garden from early spring until late autumn. The front garden is west-facing, while there is also a side garden. This combination of orientations means that throughout the day, residents can choose whether to sit in the sun or in the shade, depending on their preference and the time of day.
The property includes multiple storage buildings around the house. A particularly practical storage unit at the front is equipped with water, electricity, and a washing machine connection. This arrangement keeps laundry facilities separate from the main living spaces while remaining easily accessible.
In terms of energy efficiency and sustainability, this property performs well with an energy label A rating, valid until April 2, 2036. The home features roof and floor insulation, while the windows have been upgraded to plastic frames with HR++ glass and partially even triple glazing. Eight solar panels were installed in 2023, with an estimated annual output of 2940 kWh. Heating is provided through city heating (stadsverwarming), supplemented by the open fireplace on the ground floor and partial underfloor heating on the ground floor. Hot water is also supplied by the city heating system. Mechanical ventilation ensures good air quality throughout the home. Air conditioning units have been installed in both the dining room and the master bedroom for climate control during warmer periods.
The Schollevaar neighborhood is a well-established and sought-after residential area in Capelle aan den IJssel. Daily amenities are all within easy reach, including shops, schools, public transportation, and sports facilities. The nearby Schollebos recreation area offers opportunities for outdoor activities and nature walks. Rotterdam Alexander is reachable within minutes by car, and the property benefits from quick connections to the A16 and A20 motorways, making it convenient for commuters traveling to Rotterdam, Gouda, or other destinations in the region.
Parking is available on public roads in the immediate vicinity of the property.
The house was originally built in 1979 and is classified as an existing corner house (hoekwoning) with a gable roof covered with tiles. The property is offered partially furnished, and the transfer is by agreement, though a quick delivery is possible according to the listing.
It should be noted that all measurements and surface areas provided are indicative and based on the NEN2580 measurement instruction. This standard aims to provide a more uniform method of measuring to give an indication of usable surface areas, though it does not completely eliminate differences in measurement outcomes due to interpretation differences, rounding, or limitations during the measurement process.
As is standard in Dutch real estate transactions, a verbal agreement between a private seller and a private buyer is not legally binding. A legally valid sale only occurs when both parties have signed the written purchase agreement, as stipulated in Article 7:2 of the Dutch Civil Code. An email confirmation of verbal agreement or a sent draft of the purchase agreement is not considered a signed purchase agreement.
