Charming 5-room townhouse in green Delft Westerkwartier neighborhood

This property is situated on Hoornsestraat in the Westerkwartier district of Delft, a residential area known for its central location and pleasant green surroundings. The Westerkwartier neighborhood occupies a convenient position within the city, offering residents easy access to the historic center of Delft as well as practical connections to public transportation and major roadways.

The building is a terraced townhouse originally constructed in 1940, representing the architectural character typical of that era in Dutch urban residential areas. The property has a total net living area of 75 square meters, measured according to the NVM measurement instructions. Of this total, approximately 10 square meters is classified as other indoor space, which relates to the second floor attic room. The building has a volume of 274 cubic meters. The plot covers 85 square meters in total.

On the ground floor, the property features a front garden leading to the main entrance. Upon entering, there is a hallway containing the meter cupboard. The living room is located on this level, providing the primary living space. Adjacent to the living area is a closed kitchen of simple design. The kitchen provides access to the outdoor space at the rear of the property.

The rear garden is accessible through French doors from the kitchen area. The garden measures 37 square meters with dimensions of 8.05 meters in depth and 4.64 meters in width. The garden is oriented toward the northeast. A notable feature of the garden is its green character, as described in the listing. The outdoor space includes an attached wooden storage shed measuring 5 square meters externally. There is also a back passage, allowing access to the garden without going through the house.

The first floor is reached via a staircase from the ground floor. This level contains a spacious landing area. There are three bedrooms of good dimensions on this floor. The bathroom facilities on this level consist of a shower room located next to the front bedroom, and a separate toilet room equipped with a small sink. The staircase to the second floor is accessible from this landing.

The second floor features a fixed staircase leading to a spacious room, which serves as the fourth bedroom. This level provides additional living space within the existing building envelope.

The property currently holds an energy label G, indicating a relatively low energy efficiency rating. This is consistent with the building age of 1940, as properties from this period typically have lower insulation standards compared to modern construction. Prospective buyers should consider the implications of this energy rating for heating costs and potential sustainability improvements.

The listing explicitly states that the property has a simple finish and requires renovation and modernization. This indicates that the current interior condition is basic and that buyers should anticipate investing in updates to bring the property to contemporary standards. The kitchen is described as simple and closed, suggesting it may lack modern appliances or an open layout that many buyers currently prefer.

It is important to note several legal and practical aspects mentioned in the listing. The property has been rented out previously, though the current occupancy status is not specified. The seller questionnaire, known as the vragenlijst B, is not available for this property. This means that prospective buyers will not have access to the standard detailed information about the property condition that this document typically provides.

The purchase agreement will include a non-self-occupation clause on behalf of the seller, which is a standard provision when the seller is an investor rather than a resident owner. Additionally, an "as is where is" clause will be included in the purchase contract, meaning the buyer accepts the property in its current condition without guarantees from the seller regarding defects or issues.

The location of the property offers several practical advantages. The Westerkwartier is described as a gezellige, or pleasant, neighborhood with a central position relative to the city center and the railway station. A supermarket is available in the immediate vicinity, along with various specialty shops. The area is well-served by educational facilities, with multiple primary schools, childcare facilities, and secondary schools located nearby.

For transportation, the property benefits from proximity to the A13 and A4 motorways, with on and off ramps conveniently close. Public transportation options include a nearby bus stop. The Delft railway station and the tram stops for lines 1 and 19 can be reached on foot in approximately 10 minutes or by bicycle in about 2 minutes.

Parking in the area operates on a paid parking system with parking permits available for residents. This is typical for central urban locations in Dutch cities.

The asking price for the property is 425,000 euros, which translates to approximately 5,667 euros per square meter of living space. The costs associated with the transfer, such as notary fees and transfer tax, are to be borne by the buyer, as indicated by the "kosten koper" designation.

The acceptance date is described as being subject to agreement, providing some flexibility in the transaction timeline. The property is offered with full ownership rights, known as volle eigendom in Dutch property law.

The kadastral designation for the property is DELFT O 2817, with the plot area confirmed at 85 square meters.

Given the stated need for renovation, the simple finish throughout, the absence of a seller questionnaire, and the inclusion of an as-is clause in the purchase agreement, prospective buyers are advised to conduct thorough independent inspections of the property condition before proceeding with a purchase. Engaging an NVM certified purchase agent is recommended by the listing agent to ensure proper representation of buyer interests throughout the transaction process.
