Spacious Corner Home with Premium Finishes and Sunny Garden Canopy
Key Features
Upsides
- Energy label A rating indicates excellent energy efficiency, which translates to lower monthly utility costs and a smaller environmental footprint compared to older or less insulated properties.
- The corner position provides enhanced privacy on multiple sides, with no direct neighbors on one flank and an open green space with playground facilities opposite the front of the home.
- The property is described as turnkey with premium finishes throughout, including herringbone tile flooring with underfloor heating, modern bathroom fixtures, and a high quality kitchen, allowing immediate occupancy without renovation work.
- The rear garden features a substantial wooden canopy structure that extends the usable outdoor living space significantly, enabling outdoor dining and relaxation throughout much of the year regardless of weather conditions.
- Climate control systems including roller shutters on all windows, window screens, and air conditioning on the attic level provide comfort and convenience across different seasons.
Downsides
- The property currently offers only three bedrooms, which may be insufficient for larger families, and restoring the fourth bedroom would require modifications to the existing layout.
- Parking is limited to public on street options without a private garage or designated space, which could be inconvenient in areas where street parking is competitive.
- There is an inconsistency in the listing between the headline description stating 145 square meters of living space and the official features section listing 138 square meters, which may cause uncertainty about the actual size.
- The asking price of 625,000 euros results in a price per square meter of approximately 4,529 euros, which should be evaluated against comparable properties in Alblasserdam to determine if it represents fair market value.
Description
Welcome to this well maintained corner residence located on Hooftmanlaan in Alblasserdam. This property offers a comfortable living environment with a total living area of 138 square meters, making it suitable for families looking for ample space. The home was originally built in 2016 and has since been extended on both the front and side, creating additional interior room for daily living activities.
The ground floor features an attractive herringbone tile floor equipped with underfloor heating throughout. This flooring choice contributes to a refined appearance while providing practical comfort during the colder months. The living room and dining area are connected in an open layout that allows natural light to enter from multiple angles. These spaces flow naturally into the modern kitchen, which serves as a central gathering point for the household.
The kitchen has been finished to a high standard with quality materials and fixtures. While specific appliance details are not provided in the listing, the description indicates that this is a premium installation that complements the overall aesthetic of the home. The open plan arrangement between the kitchen, dining, and living areas creates a cohesive social environment suitable for both family life and entertaining guests.
Moving to the upper levels, the property contains two main floors plus an accessible attic space. Currently configured with three bedrooms, the layout was previously arranged with four sleeping quarters. The current owners opted to combine spaces to create a larger room, but the fourth bedroom can be reinstated with relatively straightforward modifications if desired. This flexibility allows future owners to adapt the space according to their specific needs, whether that means maintaining the current arrangement or reverting to the original four bedroom configuration.
The bathroom has been renovated to modern standards and offers generous proportions. It includes a walk in shower, a bathtub, a double vanity unit, and a toilet. A separate toilet is also available on the main floor, adding convenience for daily use. The bathroom finishes align with the overall quality found throughout the property, featuring contemporary materials and fixtures.
Climate control has been well considered in this home. Roller shutters are installed on all windows, providing both security and the ability to regulate interior temperatures during warm weather. Window screens are present on all openings, allowing for ventilation without the intrusion of insects. Air conditioning has been installed on the attic level, ensuring comfortable temperatures can be maintained even during the warmest summer days. The combination of these systems creates a livable environment across all seasons.
The outdoor spaces represent a significant feature of this property. The rear garden benefits from a sunny orientation and has been designed for extended outdoor living. A substantial wooden canopy structure has been erected, creating a covered area that can be used throughout much of the year regardless of weather conditions. This covered space is large enough to accommodate outdoor dining furniture and provides shelter for relaxation or social gatherings. The terrace area adjacent to the house offers additional space for outdoor activities.
Privacy in the garden is enhanced by the corner position of the property, which reduces overlooking from neighboring homes. The garden includes both a rear section and a side area, providing variety in how the outdoor space can be utilized. A wooden storage shed has been constructed on the property, offering secure storage for garden equipment, bicycles, or other items.
The front of the property enjoys an open view across green space where a children's play facility is located. There are no directly opposing properties on the other side of this green area, which contributes to a sense of spaciousness and additional privacy at the front elevation. This configuration is particularly valued in residential neighborhoods where properties are typically situated close together.
The location on Hooftmanlaan places the property within a residential neighborhood that is described as quiet and family friendly. Schools, shopping facilities, and sports amenities are all situated within convenient distance. Access to major roadways is also readily available, making this location practical for commuters who need to travel to surrounding areas for work or other commitments.
Parking is available through public on street facilities in the immediate vicinity. The property does not include a private garage or designated parking space, which is typical for homes in this type of residential setting.
The property holds an energy label A rating, indicating that it meets high standards of energy efficiency. This rating reflects the quality of insulation, heating systems, and overall construction standards that contribute to lower energy consumption and reduced utility costs compared to less efficient homes.
The overall condition of the property is described as turnkey, meaning that new owners could move in without undertaking any immediate renovation work. All systems, finishes, and fixtures have been maintained to a good standard, and the presentation suggests that the current owners have taken care to preserve the quality of the home since its construction and subsequent improvements.
With a total volume of 487 cubic meters and a plot size of 175 square meters, this corner residence offers substantial proportions for a terraced property. The external storage space of 6 square meters adds practical utility for outdoor equipment and seasonal items.
The asking price is set at 625,000 euros, with the buyer responsible for transfer costs and any applicable taxes. This positions the property at approximately 4,529 euros per square meter of living space based on the listed 138 square meter measurement.
