Description
Welcome to this charming family residence located in a serene and green setting just a short walk from the vibrant center of Pijnacker. This property offers a delightful combination of tranquility and convenience, providing an ideal living environment for families seeking both comfort and accessibility. The home is situated on a quiet road where residents can enjoy the peaceful surroundings, yet all necessary amenities such as shops, schools, and public transport connections are within easy reach. This location strikes a perfect balance, allowing you to retreat into a quiet haven after a busy day while remaining connected to the community and its facilities.
Upon arrival at the property, the pleasant location is immediately apparent. A front garden leads you to the main entrance of the house. Inside, you are welcomed into a hallway that provides access to a separate toilet room. From the hall, the layout flows naturally into the bright through-living room. This living space is designed to maximize natural light, thanks to the large window elements that allow sunlight to stream in throughout the day. A cozy open fireplace serves as a warm focal point in the room, creating an inviting atmosphere that makes this space perfect for gathering with family or friends during the colder months. The living room provides ample space for various seating arrangements, ensuring that it functions well as a relaxation area or a place to entertain guests.
Located at the rear of the house, the open kitchen is situated in a valuable extension. This placement not only adds extra floor space to the ground floor but also offers a lovely view of the backyard. The kitchen is equipped with various built-in appliances, making it a practical and functional workspace for daily meal preparation. Being situated in the extension allows for a direct visual connection with the outdoor area, enhancing the sense of space and bringing the garden atmosphere into the home. Whether you are enjoying a quick breakfast or preparing an elaborate dinner, this kitchen setting provides a pleasant environment with a view of the green surroundings.
The backyard is a notable feature of this property. The garden is located on the north side according to technical details, though the description notes it enjoys afternoon and evening sun, allowing residents to enjoy outdoor living well into the day. The garden features a stone storage shed, offering secure storage for garden tools, bicycles, or outdoor equipment. Additionally, there is a practical back entrance, providing easy access to the alleyway behind the property. This makes it convenient to bring groceries in or manage waste disposal without having to walk through the house. The presence of a shed and back entrance adds significant practical utility to daily living.
Moving to the first floor, the property boasts three bedrooms. Two of these rooms are spacious, offering plenty of room for double beds, wardrobes, and additional furniture. The third bedroom is slightly smaller but is perfectly suited for use as a child's room, a home office, or a hobby room, depending on your specific needs. The layout on this floor is efficient, ensuring that the space is utilized effectively. One of the bedrooms at the rear provides access to a balcony that spans the full width of the house. This balcony offers a wonderful spot to sit outside with a cup of coffee in the morning or to enjoy fresh air without leaving the private quarters of the home. The bathroom on this floor is functionally designed, featuring a shower and a vanity unit, meeting all daily sanitary needs.
The second floor of this home offers a surprising amount of additional space. The landing area features a skylight, which provides natural light to this part of the house, and houses the placement of the central heating combi boiler. The spacious attic bedroom is a significant asset on this level, equipped with a dormer window. This dormer window ensures extra light intake and contributes to a pleasant spatial feeling, making the room feel larger and more open. This floor is excellent for guests, older children seeking privacy, or as a master suite, depending on your preference. The presence of the dormer window is a valuable addition, as it transforms what could otherwise be a dark attic into a bright and livable space suitable for a variety of uses.
Constructed in 1957, this property represents the architecture of its era but has been updated to meet modern standards. The living area is approximately 105 square meters, which is generous for this type of home. There is also an external storage space of about 8 square meters. The property sits on a plot of 153 square meters of private land, as indicated in the specific cadastral details. The energy performance of the home is rated with a label, and the property is fitted with double glazing for insulation to improve comfort. A major technical benefit is the new central heating combi boiler that was installed in 2024, ensuring reliable and efficient heating and hot water for the foreseeable future.
It is important to note the legal and technical aspects of this purchase. The property is offered via a non-occupancy clause and an age clause, which are standard legal protections for older homes that transfer ownership. The age clause provides clarity regarding the condition of the building relative to its construction date. Furthermore, it is noted that no specific questionnaire regarding the property's condition is available, meaning buyers are encouraged to rely on their own inspections and the information provided in the listing to form their judgment. The delivery of the property is by mutual agreement, allowing for a smooth transition of ownership.
In summary, this family home in Pijnacker offers a solid foundation for comfortable living. With four bedrooms, a backyard with a shed, a recently updated heating system, and a central location relative to the village center, it presents a great opportunity for those looking to settle in a quiet yet accessible neighborhood. The combination of the layout, the specific features like the dormer window and balcony, and the practical storage solutions make this a versatile property suitable for various household compositions. The listing invites potential buyers to explore the possibilities this residence has to offer and to envision making it their own home.
