- The home is perfectly suited for families, offering five bedrooms and two modern bathrooms, ensuring ample space and comfort for all residents.

- The southwest-facing backyard is a delightful outdoor space, complete with a detached shed and a back entrance, providing a private oasis for relaxation and recreation.
Downsides
- With an asking price of 925,000 euros, the price per square meter is relatively high at over 5,800 euros, which may be a financial barrier for some buyers.
- Although the home is energy-efficient, it still relies on a gas-fired combi boiler for heating and hot water, rather than being fully disconnected from the gas network.
- As a terraced house, noise from neighbors may be a factor to consider, although the renovation included updated insulation.
- The property is located in a residential zone, which, while quiet and family-friendly, means it is not in the immediate absolute center of the city, requiring a short commute for daily amenities.

This combination of tranquility and accessibility makes the location exceptionally attractive for families and professionals alike.
Upon entering the property, one is welcomed into a spacious and inviting entrance hall. The practical aspects of the home have been thoroughly addressed, starting with the renewed and expanded meter cupboard which features nine groups and two earth leakage breakers, ensuring a safe and modern electrical installation. The ground floor is dedicated to living and dining, featuring a light-filled and royal living room. A standout feature of this level is the floor construction. The entire ground floor has been fitted with a sleek, insulated concrete floor that includes comfortable underfloor heating. This is finished with a tasteful oak wood top layer, providing a warm and durable surface that enhances the aesthetic appeal of the living space.
At the rear of the ground floor lies the modern open kitchen, a space designed for both cooking and socializing. The kitchen is finished with a luxurious composite worktop that offers ample workspace and is equipped with high-quality built-in appliances from Siemens. The culinary setup includes a five-burner gas stove with a direct extraction hood to the outside, ensuring efficient ventilation. For added convenience, a Quooker provides instant boiling water.

The connection between indoor and outdoor living is seamless, with French doors in the living room and a garden door from the kitchen leading to the backyard.

The largest bedroom is particularly appealing, featuring French doors that open to a balcony, allowing residents to enjoy the fresh air and views of the surroundings.
The second floor is accessible via a newly placed fixed staircase, adding to the modern feel of the home. The landing on this floor leads to two more bedrooms, offering a total of five sleeping quarters in the house. These rooms are nearly 21 square meters and over 14 square meters in size. One of these bedrooms features a handy fixed staircase to the loft above, creating an ideal and spacious storage solution for seasonal items and extra belongings. The second floor is also home to an ideal second bathroom, which adds a layer of convenience for larger families or guests. This bathroom is equipped with a shower, a vanity unit, and a second toilet. The technical installations of the house, including the central heating boiler and the mechanical ventilation unit, are neatly concealed on this floor, maintaining the clean aesthetic of the living spaces.
Throughout the renovation, great attention has been paid to sustainability and energy efficiency. The property boasts 11 solar panels, contributing to lower energy costs and a reduced carbon footprint. The energy label is B, reflecting the good insulation and modern facilities. The roof is a saddle roof covered with tiles, and the insulation includes double glazing, wall insulation, and the aforementioned floor insulation on the ground level. The central heating system consists of a gas-fired combi boiler from 2016, owned by the property, ensuring reliable heating and hot water delivery.
The property is a townhouse constructed in 1935, yet it feels thoroughly contemporary due to the extensive upgrades. The total living area is approximately 159 square meters, situated on its own plot of 153 square meters. The volume of the building is 813 cubic meters, indicating a spacious interior. With a total of six rooms, comprising five bedrooms and two bathrooms, the house is perfectly scaled for family life. The availability of free parking on the public road in front of the house is a significant benefit in this urban location.
In summary, Insulindeweg 11 presents a unique opportunity for those seeking a high-quality, ready-to-live-in family home in a prime location in Delft. The combination of a classic 1930s facade, a fully modernized interior with high-quality finishes, and a practical layout with ample bedrooms and bathrooms makes this a standout listing. The thoughtful renovations, including new plumbing, electricity, sewerage, and the addition of solar panels, provide peace of mind for the future owner.
