Charming modernized home with village character and sunny garden in Utrecht Hoograven

This pleasant terraced house is situated on Hofnarlaan 13 in the Nieuw Hoograven-Zuid district of Utrecht. The property presents itself with a village-like atmosphere combined with a colorful exterior appearance. Built in 1960, the home underwent a comprehensive modernization in 2016 carried out by the previous owners, resulting in a residence that offers contemporary comfort while maintaining its original character.

The ground floor layout begins with a front garden featuring decorative paving, established planting, and a stone wall serving as the property boundary. Upon entering through the front door, you are welcomed into a hallway that includes a cloakroom area, a toilet room, a stair cupboard containing the meter cupboard, and access to both the living room and the staircase leading to the first floor.

The living room is situated at the front of the property and features a neat laminate floor in a light taupe shade designed to resemble tiles. This flooring continues seamlessly into the kitchen area. The floor is finished with white skirting boards for a clean appearance. The dining area is positioned towards the garden side of the home, as is the kitchen. Both the living room and the kitchen provide access to the rear garden through sliding doors, creating a pleasant indoor-outdoor connection during warmer months.

The kitchen was installed in 2016 when the previous owners opened up the wall between the kitchen and living room to create an open-plan layout. The kitchen displays a neutral and warm color scheme with a mix of transparent black glass cabinet fronts and wood-toned fronts, all fitted with metal handles. The countertop is made of dark grey synthetic material designed to resemble a concrete pour. The backsplash consists of white tiles combined with small brown tiles for a practical and easy-to-maintain surface. The kitchen is equipped with the following built-in appliances: a four-burner gas hob, an extractor hood, a refrigerator, a freezer, an oven, and a dishwasher. The black sink complements the dark cabinet fronts effectively.

The rear garden faces northwest and measures approximately 39 square meters with dimensions of 7 meters in depth and 5.55 meters in width. This orientation allows for sunlight from the beginning to the end of the afternoon, extending into the evening during summer months. The garden features decorative paving, fencing for privacy, an outdoor water tap, and a rear access path. A freestanding wooden storage shed is located at the back of the garden, equipped with a window for natural daylight and an electrical connection.

The first floor is accessed via the staircase in the hallway and opens onto a landing providing access to three bedrooms, the bathroom, and an internal storage cupboard. The main bedroom is located at the rear of the property and offers a generous size. This room, along with the front-facing bedroom, includes a built-in wardrobe. The front bedroom is currently used as a child's room and provides a pleasant view over the street. The third bedroom is situated at the rear and is suitable for use as a home office or nursery.

The bathroom, while compact in size, has been finished practically and neatly in a style consistent with the ground floor toilet. It features a walk-in shower, a vanity unit with washbasin, and a radiator. The walls are fully tiled in a grey tone, while the floor is finished with black tiles.

Adjacent to the bathroom, an internal utility room houses the connections for the washing machine and dryer, as well as the central heating boiler.

Regarding the technical specifications and recent maintenance, the property benefits from double glazing set in plastic window frames. Heating and hot water are provided by an Intergas combi boiler installed in 2016. The flat roof covering was completely replaced in 2019, and in 2025 the tar and bitumen roof covering was reapplied with a ten-year guarantee. The fencing on the right side was renewed in June 2022, and the rear access door was replaced with new woodwork approximately three years ago.

The property holds an energy label C, though the listing also references a label D that was valid until February 2024, suggesting the label has been updated. The ground lease (erfpacht) has been perpetually bought off, meaning no periodic ground lease payments are required.
