Characteristic Detached Home with Spacious Garden on Private Land in Capelle aan den IJssel

This characteristic detached residence is situated at Hoofdweg 288 in Capelle aan den IJssel, a location that offers a unique combination of rural tranquility and urban accessibility. The property sits on an 800 square meter plot of private land, providing ample space for gardening, recreation, and outdoor living. Despite its peaceful setting, the home is conveniently located within minutes of Rotterdam, the Groene Hart region, and the recreational area Zevenhuizerplas.

The position of the property is particularly advantageous as it is situated on a secondary section of the Hoofdweg that is a dead-end street transitioning into a bicycle path. This means there is no through traffic directly in front of the house, ensuring a quiet and safe living environment. The home was originally built in 1923 and has been carefully maintained and updated to meet contemporary living standards while preserving its original character and architectural details.

The ground floor layout begins with an entrance hall that provides access to all ground floor spaces. The hall includes a toilet with a small sink and a staircase leading to the first floor. Beneath the staircase is a practical storage cupboard. From the hall, one enters the modern kitchen which features an open layout with a central eating bar and a spacious cooking island that serves as the focal point of the room. The kitchen is fully equipped with high-quality built-in appliances including an oven, built-in coffee machine, microwave, American refrigerator, Quooker tap, dishwasher, and a five-burner gas hob with a stylish extractor hood. This kitchen configuration makes it an ideal space for cooking enthusiasts and creates a welcoming atmosphere for social gatherings.

From the kitchen, a three-step staircase leads down to the living room, creating an interesting and open spatial arrangement. The living room is divided into a dining area and a sitting area, together covering approximately 38 square meters. These generous proportions allow for a large dining table and a comfortable seating arrangement. The large windows facing south ensure abundant natural light enters the space, giving the room a warm and inviting character. In the living room there is a hatch providing access via a spiral staircase to a basement room measuring 12 square meters, which features a large window overlooking the rear garden.

The first floor is reached via the hallway and features a spacious landing that extends along the length of the property, providing access to all rooms on this level. There are two sizable bedrooms, measuring approximately 17 square meters and 15 square meters respectively. The bedroom on the right side has two built-in closets and a storage cupboard under the sloping roof, offering additional storage space. The bedroom on the left side includes a walk-in closet of 7 square meters, adding a touch of luxury and practical convenience. Above the stairwell there is another storage cupboard.

At the end of the landing are the laundry room and the bathroom. The laundry room covers approximately 8 square meters and offers various possibilities. With some simple modifications, this space could be converted into a third bedroom or a hobby room, providing flexibility for future needs. The bathroom measures approximately 6 square meters and is fully equipped with a walk-in shower, a bathtub, a toilet, and a double vanity unit. This combination of comfort, space, and practical layout makes the first floor highly functional and pleasant to inhabit.

The outdoor space is a significant feature of this property. The 800 square meter plot includes approximately 600 square meters of landscaped garden surrounding the house. The garden has a well-maintained, green appearance with various atmospheric seating areas. Next to the house there is a garage with practical storage space measuring 84 square meters, along with a carport providing covered parking for a vehicle. Additionally, there is a wooden shed with a canopy measuring 54 square meters, which can serve as a business space or home office. Directly adjacent to the Schollevaar waterway, a cozy gazebo of 13 square meters has been constructed, largely lockable, offering a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the view. The garden also contains several fruit trees including grapevines, various types of pears, apples, plums, and red currants, as well as a koi pond with a filtration system.

According to the current owners, the property was purchased from a farmer in late 1995. Immediately after the purchase, the entire interior was removed and rebuilt with proper insulation, new window frames, double glazing, new wiring, and a new electrical panel. The garden was subsequently laid out according to a design by a landscape architect. The owners have enjoyed the many pleasant spots in and around the house and have created wonderful memories of garden parties, relaxation, and enjoying the flora and fauna of this special place with family and friends.

Technical specifications include heating and hot water provided by a Vaillant CV boiler from 2012. The property has an energy label C valid until November 17, 2035. Insulation has been installed in the roof, walls, and floor. The property features mechanical ventilation, skylights, and TV connections. The roof is a hipped roof covered with tiles. The total volume of the property is 529 cubic meters. External storage space totals 117 square meters including the garage and wooden shed.
