Hof van Florence 3 is a semi-detached residence situated in a quiet and family-friendly residential area in Doetinchem. This property, originally built in 1998, offers a generous living space of 142 square meters with an additional 8 square meters of indoor utility space and 13 square meters of outdoor attached space. The total plot measures 247 square meters, providing ample room for both indoor and outdoor living.
The location of this property is particularly advantageous for families. The neighborhood is designed with children in mind, offering various play areas throughout the immediate vicinity. Despite the peaceful setting, essential amenities are conveniently close by. The train station can be reached within a short distance, making commuting straightforward. Schools, a furniture boulevard, medical facilities, sports fields, and a neighborhood shopping center are all located nearby. Additionally, the property benefits from good accessibility to major roads and highways, ensuring that travel by car is equally convenient.
Upon entering the home through the front door, you are welcomed into a hallway that provides access to a ground-floor toilet room and the staircase leading to the upper levels. From the hallway, you step into the living room, which is characterized by large windows at the front of the house that allow natural light to flood the space throughout the day. This area serves as a comfortable spot for relaxation, reading, or spending time with family and friends.
At the rear of the ground floor, an extension has been added to create an expansive open-plan kitchen and dining area. This extension significantly increases the usable living space on the ground floor. A skylight has been installed in the extension, further enhancing the brightness of this area. The kitchen provides ample room for a large dining table, allowing cooking and socializing to naturally combine. Double doors open from the kitchen directly onto the garden, creating a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living spaces.
Adjacent to the kitchen is a practical utility room featuring a built-in cabinet wall. This space offers valuable additional storage for household items, cleaning supplies, and other essentials. From the utility room, you can access a versatile practice room or home office. This multi-purpose space can be adapted to suit various needs, whether you require a dedicated workspace for working from home, a hobby room, or a playroom for children. A storage area is also accessible from this room.
The garden at the rear of the property measures 104 square meters with dimensions of approximately 12.25 meters in depth and 8.50 meters in width. The garden faces north and has been thoughtfully landscaped to provide pleasant outdoor living throughout the day. Two separate terraces have been created, allowing you to choose between sunny and shaded spots depending on the time of day and your personal preference. A well-maintained lawn completes the outdoor space, providing room for children to play or for gardening enthusiasts to cultivate their own green space.
The first floor of the property houses three comfortable bedrooms, each offering a pleasant layout suitable for various furniture arrangements. The bedrooms provide adequate space for double beds, wardrobes, and additional furniture as needed. The complete bathroom on this floor is equipped with a bathtub, a walk-in shower, a vanity unit, and a second toilet. This configuration makes the bathroom functional for daily use by the entire household, whether for morning routines or evening relaxation.
A fixed staircase leads from the first floor to the second floor, where you will find a practical storage attic. This space provides substantial room for storing seasonal items, luggage, and other belongings that you prefer to keep out of sight. The presence of a fixed staircase makes accessing this storage area convenient compared to properties with pull-down ladders.
The property comes with several modern features that enhance comfort and energy efficiency. Eighteen solar panels have been installed on the roof, contributing to reduced energy costs and a smaller carbon footprint. Air conditioning is present in the home, ensuring comfortable indoor temperatures during warmer months. Roller shutters have been fitted to the windows, offering privacy, light control, and additional insulation benefits.
Energy efficiency is a notable aspect of this property, as evidenced by its Energy Label A rating. The home features comprehensive insulation including roof insulation, double glazing, wall insulation, and floor insulation. The heating and hot water are provided by a Nefit HR gas combi boiler that was installed in 2016 and is owned by the current homeowner.
Parking is available on the property's own grounds in the form of a carport. This provides sheltered parking for one vehicle, protecting it from the elements. Additionally, the property includes a stone-built attached storage shed for garden equipment, bicycles, or other items.
The property is being offered at a price of 509,000 euros, which translates to approximately 3,585 euros per square meter of living space. The transfer terms are to be negotiated, and the property is currently available on the market. The home is offered partially furnished, meaning certain fixtures and fittings may be included in the sale. The property features a traditional pitched roof covered with tiles, consistent with its construction era.
Fiber optic cable has been connected to the property, ensuring high-speed internet connectivity that is essential for modern living and particularly valuable for those who work from home. The cadastral designation is AMBT-DOETINCHEM A 6333, and the property is held in full ownership.
Hof van Florence 3 represents a well-maintained family home that combines practical living spaces with modern energy-saving features. The extension on the ground floor, the home office space, and the quality of the finishes make this property suitable for buyers seeking a move-in ready home in a convenient yet peaceful location.
