The Hof van Delftlaan is an attractive avenue lined predominantly with 1930s townhouses. The location is highly regarded among families due to the proximity of schools, sports clubs, a swimming pool, shops, and various supermarkets.

Public transportation connections and access to major roads are both convenient. Parking in the area is managed through a permit system.

Upon arrival at the property, visitors are welcomed by a well-maintained front garden. The entrance leads to a vestibule featuring original tile wainscoting, which immediately sets the tone for the character found throughout the home. From the vestibule, one enters the hallway which provides access to the staircase and a cellar cupboard that houses the meter cupboard. Also located on the ground floor is a modern toilet room equipped with a wall-hung toilet and a small sink.

The main living space on the ground floor consists of a spacious and open living and dining area that has been created by removing walls to connect the original rooms. At the front of the house, the room features a bay window that allows natural light to enter and adds to the charming appearance from both inside and outside. The flooring in this area is laminate. Positioned at the rear of the ground floor is a modern open kitchen arranged in an L-shape configuration. The kitchen offers ample storage space and features a sturdy work surface. The installed appliances include an induction cooktop, an extractor hood, an oven, a dishwasher, and a refrigerator-freezer combination.

From the kitchen, French doors open directly onto the backyard. The garden is described as cozy, spacious, and deep, with a northwest orientation that provides afternoon and evening sun for extended periods. At the rear of the garden stands a freestanding wooden shed offering additional storage space. The backyard measures approximately 50 square meters with dimensions of about 9.52 meters in depth and 5.22 meters in width.

The first floor is reached via the staircase in the hallway. The landing provides access to a second modern toilet room, a front bedroom, a large rear bedroom, the main bathroom, and an additional front bedroom.

The property has received several notable upgrades and improvements in recent years.

Roof insulation and floor insulation have been installed to improve energy efficiency. Eight solar panels have been placed on the roof. The roof tiles and battens on the saddle roof were replaced in October 2020. Exterior painting work has been completed recently.

The windows throughout the property feature wooden frames. A portion of the glazing is double glass, while another portion consists of high-efficiency HR++ glass. The property holds an energy label C rating. The total building volume is 518 cubic meters. In addition to the living space, the property includes approximately 5 square meters of building-bound outdoor space (the balcony) and approximately 5 square meters of external storage space (the wooden shed).
