At the rear, there is a practical hallway providing ample space for a coat rack and additional storage options.
The open living room forms the heart of the home. Thanks to the large windows, the space benefits from abundant natural light, which contributes to a pleasant and inviting atmosphere. There is plenty of room to create both a comfortable seating area and a cozy dining area. The stone floor gives the whole a well-maintained appearance, while the fireplace serves as a warm focal point in the room.

Whether one wishes for an extra workspace, a children's room, or a hobby room, these versatile spaces offer numerous possibilities.
Via a pull-down staircase, the attic floor is accessible. This practical space is excellently suited for storing seasonal items, suitcases, and other belongings that one prefers to keep out of sight.
The sunny backyard forms a pleasant extension of the living space. The garden is paved and therefore designed to be low-maintenance, while there is ample space for placing a cozy terrace or lounge area.

The asking price for this property is 425,000 euros, which translates to approximately 5,183 euros per square meter of living space. The purchase price is inclusive of buyer costs (kosten koper). The transfer date is to be agreed upon between the buyer and seller.
Kwintsheul is a village located in the municipality of Westland, in the province of South Holland. The area is known for its horticultural character and offers a balance between rural living and urban accessibility. The presence of schools, shops, and sports facilities within the immediate vicinity makes daily life convenient for residents.
This property presents itself as a family home in a established residential area. The layout with the bathroom on the ground floor can be particularly convenient for families with young children or for individuals who prefer to minimize stair usage for certain daily activities. The open connection between the living room and kitchen creates a social atmosphere that suits modern living preferences.
The three bedrooms on the first floor provide flexibility for various household compositions, whether that involves a family with children, a couple requiring a home office space, or individuals needing guest accommodation. The additional toilet on this floor adds to the practical convenience for occupants.
The backyard, being paved and low-maintenance, requires minimal upkeep while still offering an outdoor space for relaxation and recreation during warmer months. The presence of a rear access path is a practical feature that allows direct access to the backyard without having to pass through the home, which can be convenient for gardening activities or when storing bicycles.
