Sustainable Move-in Ready Terraced House with A+++ Energy Label

This terraced house located at Houtskoolstraat 18 in the village of Heeten presents itself as a modern and sustainable home that was built in 2016. The property is situated in a child-friendly residential area where residents can find a playground and a football field just around the corner. There is ample parking available in the vicinity, and the scenic countryside of Heeten is easily accessible from this location. The house borders a green strip, which adds to the pleasant living environment.

The energy performance of this property is particularly noteworthy, having achieved an A+++ energy label. The current owners took significant steps in 2023 to make the residence completely gas-free by installing a heat pump system. This heat pump works in conjunction with nineteen solar panels that have been placed on the roof. The window frames throughout the property are made of plastic and fitted with HR++ glass, contributing to the overall insulation value. Underfloor heating has been installed on the ground floor level, providing even heat distribution. An additional benefit of the heat pump system is that it enables active cooling of the ground floor during warmer summer months, which enhances comfort during hot periods.

The backyard has been designed with low maintenance in mind and faces east, allowing residents to enjoy the morning sun throughout the year. A freestanding wooden storage shed in the garden provides practical space for storing garden equipment, bicycles, or other items. A back entrance allows for quick and convenient access to the garden without having to go through the house.

The ground floor layout begins with an entrance hall that provides access to the meter cupboard, a separate toilet, and a spacious staircase cupboard that offers valuable storage space. The living room with open kitchen occupies the remainder of this floor. The living area is positioned at the rear of the property and offers views of the backyard. There is ample space here to create a comfortable seating area. The kitchen is situated at the front of the house and has a well-maintained appearance. It comes equipped with various built-in appliances including an induction cooktop, a close-in boiler for hot water, a dishwasher, a refrigerator, and a combination oven and microwave. A small hallway has been created within the living area, which serves as a practical buffer zone that helps retain heat inside the living space and prevents dirt from being tracked directly into the main living area.

The first floor can be reached via the staircase in the entrance hall. The landing provides access to three bedrooms and the bathroom. All three bedrooms are of good proportions and can comfortably accommodate beds and other furniture. The bathroom is generously sized and features a walk-in shower, a toilet, and a double sink. Underfloor heating has been installed in the bathroom for added comfort. Two of the bedrooms on this floor are fitted with electric screens that can be deployed to block sunlight when desired.

A fixed staircase leads to the second floor, which consists of an open attic space. This area receives plenty of natural light through two skylights installed in the roof. The space is sufficiently large to accommodate a fourth bedroom if needed. The connections for a washing machine and dryer are located on this floor, along with the boiler that forms part of the heat pump system. A sink has also been installed on this level for added convenience.

The property has a total living area of approximately 137 square meters and a volume of approximately 483 cubic meters. The plot covers an area of 132 square meters. The roof is a gable roof covered with tiles. The property features full insulation including roof insulation, wall insulation, and floor insulation. Mechanical ventilation is present in the home, and a fiberglass cable connection is available for internet services.

Additional comfort features that have been added to the property include the previously mentioned electric screens on two first-floor bedrooms, a retractable sun shade in the garden, and a water softener system installed in the home. The water softener helps reduce limescale buildup in pipes and appliances, which can extend their lifespan and improve efficiency.

The property is offered at a asking price of 409,500 euros, which translates to approximately 2,989 euros per square meter of living space. The asking price is subject to buyer costs, meaning that additional expenses such as transfer tax and notary fees will apply on top of this amount. The property is available for occupancy by agreement, and the cadastral designation is RAALTE H 7406 with full ownership status. The property type is classified as a single-family terraced house of existing construction.
