Description
The property located at Hooiland 76 presents a unique proposition in the current housing market offering a versatile living space that caters to a wide range of needs. With an asking price of 375000 euros costs buyer this home invites a new owner to imprint their personal style on a structure that originally dates back to 1977. The core appeal of this listing lies in its inherent flexibility. It is designed to function as a comfortable residence where single level living is a possibility yet it also retains the spatial capacity to serve as a full family home. The living area spans approximately 113 square meters which is a generous amount of space that allows for various configurations of furniture and movement. The property sits on a plot of 138 square meters of private land providing a solid and secure foundation for this dwelling.
Moving to the interior layout the ground floor is designed with a focus on convenience and accessibility. The entrance leads into a hall that provides access to the meter cupboard and the staircase to the upper level. This area serves as the initial transition from the outside world into the private sanctuary of the home. The living room is a standout feature on this level. It is described as surprisingly spacious and benefits from large window sections. These windows are not merely functional elements but are key to the character of the room allowing for an abundance of natural daylight to flood the space. This natural light creates a welcoming atmosphere and enhances the sense of volume within the room. The layout of the living room is such that it can comfortably accommodate a distinct seating area for relaxation as well as a substantial dining area for meals and social gatherings. This dual functionality makes it the true heart of the home where daily life revolves.
Adjacent to the living room is the kitchen situated at the front of the house. The listing indicates the presence of a practical utility room connected to the kitchen. This utility room is a valuable asset for any household as it provides additional space for storage and potentially laundry appliances. A significant feature of this utility room is its own external door. This direct access to the outdoors is highly convenient for gardening bringing in groceries or simply enjoying the fresh air without having to pass through the main living areas. It adds a layer of practical circulation to the ground floor plan.
One of the most compelling aspects of Hooiland 76 is its age proof or life course proof character. This design philosophy is evident in the inclusion of a full bedroom and a bathroom on the ground floor. For residents who prefer or require to live on a single level this feature is invaluable. It eliminates the daily necessity of navigating stairs while still providing full access to sleeping and washing facilities. The ground floor bathroom is equipped with a shower and a washbasin. Additionally there is a separate toilet room which ensures privacy and convenience for both residents and guests. This configuration makes the home suitable for older adults looking to age in place or for households where accessibility is a priority without compromising on style or comfort.
Ascending to the first floor reveals the expansive potential of the upper level. Currently the first floor is arranged with a large bedroom. This room is described as royal in size offering ample space for a double bed wardrobes and other bedroom furniture. Beyond the immediate sleeping area the first floor features a generous landing and a significant amount of storage space located under the sloping roof. This storage area is perfect for stowing away seasonal items or luggage keeping the main living areas clutter free. However the true potential of this floor lies in its adaptability. The dimensions of the space are such that it is entirely feasible to subdivide this area to create multiple bedrooms. This transformability allows the property to evolve from a single level residence for one or two people into a fully fledged family home with three or four bedrooms. This duality ensures that the property remains a suitable long term investment regardless of how the owners family situation might change over the years.
The exterior of the property complements the interior offering. At the front there is a covered entrance which provides shelter during arrival and departure regardless of the weather conditions. The home is situated in a quiet and pleasant residential neighborhood. This location is ideal for those seeking peace and tranquility away from the hustle and bustle of the city center. Despite the quiet setting the listing mentions that there are sufficient parking facilities and various amenities within a short distance. This balance between serene living and convenient access to daily necessities is a highly desirable characteristic for any residential property and contributes significantly to the quality of life.
It is important to note that the home requires attention and modernization on various parts. The listing explicitly states that the dwelling needs updates in certain areas. While some buyers might seek a move in ready home others view this as a significant advantage. The need for renovation presents a blank canvas. The new owners have the freedom to select their own finishes materials and layouts. They can update the kitchen to their culinary specifications design a modern bathroom suite and choose flooring that matches their taste. This process allows the creation of a home that truly reflects the personality of the inhabitants rather than inheriting the dated choices of previous owners. The modernization process also presents an opportunity to improve the energy efficiency of the building. Given that the energy label is not currently available and the heating consists of a central heating boiler combined with gas heaters there is clear scope to upgrade insulation windows and heating systems to modern standards. This investment would not only reduce running costs but also increase the comfort levels within the home.
The property features include a volume of 427 cubic meters which reinforces the sense of space inside. The cadastral designation is URK B 6337 confirming the location in Urk. The ownership situation is full ownership meaning the buyer owns the land and the building outright without any leasehold ground rent. This is a straightforward and favorable form of ownership that provides peace of mind.
In summary Hooiland 76 represents a pragmatic and flexible housing solution. It offers the immediate benefit of ground floor living which is a rare and valuable feature in many market segments. Simultaneously it provides the structural capacity to expand upwards creating a larger family home when needed. The requirement for modernization allows a buyer to add value through their own effort and vision. The location in a quiet neighborhood with parking and amenities nearby adds to the overall livability. For buyers looking for a home that can adapt to their life stages rather than forcing a move every few years this property offers a solid and promising foundation.
