Description
This modern semi-detached family home is located in a quiet and child-friendly residential area in Rijen. The property was built in 2007 and has been well maintained with modern finishes throughout. The house offers a comfortable combination of space, quality finishes, and energy-efficient living. With a living area of approximately 143 square meters and a plot of 252 square meters, this residence provides ample room for families looking for a move-in ready home without the need for renovations.
The ground floor layout begins with a spacious entrance hall that provides access to the living room, garage, toilet room, and the fixed staircase to the upper floors. The generous L-shaped living room serves as the heart of the home. Large windows and French doors to the garden ensure plenty of natural light and create a pleasant connection to the outdoor space. A modern gas fireplace adds warmth and atmosphere to the living area.
Adjacent to the living room is the open kitchen, which features a kitchen island with a gas cooktop, wok burner, and extractor hood. The kitchen is equipped with various built-in appliances including a refrigerator, combination microwave, and dishwasher. The smart layout provides ample storage space. The kitchen countertop was recently replaced according to the listing.
At the rear of the ground floor, there is a separate work and playroom that offers multiple possibilities such as a home office, playroom, or hobby space. From this room, there is direct access to the sunroom or covered terrace that was installed in 2023. This sunroom features glass sliding walls that can be fully opened, creating an indoor-outdoor living experience and providing access to the garden.
The indoor garage is heated, fully finished, and equipped with an electrically operated sectional door. This adds practical storage space and secure parking for a vehicle.
The first floor features a spacious landing that gives access to two bedrooms, a modern bathroom, a separate toilet room, and a practical laundry and storage room. The luxury bathroom is stylishly finished and includes a bathtub, a walk-in shower with a glass wall, a double vanity unit, and a designer radiator. The separate toilet on this floor increases daily convenience for the household.
The second floor is reached via a fixed staircase and currently contains one large bedroom that was previously configured as two separate rooms. Because there are already two door openings present, this floor can easily be converted back to two bedrooms if desired. This flexibility makes the property suitable for larger families, guests, or those needing an additional home office space.
The rear garden has been thoughtfully designed with a combination of lawn, established planting, and several terraces with large natural stone tiles. This layout allows for a pleasant spot in either sun or shade at different times of the day. A wide awning provides additional comfort during warm weather. The sheltered garden offers privacy and serves as a peaceful place to enjoy outdoor living.
The property is fully insulated and equipped with eight solar panels, contributing to energy efficiency and lower running costs. The house is located on a particularly attractive plot in a quiet residential street where children can play safely at nearby playgrounds and green spaces. Schools, shops, sports facilities, public transport, and major roads are all within a short distance, offering a balance between peaceful living and convenient access to daily amenities.
The asking price is 679,000 euros buyer's costs. A bank guarantee of 10 percent of the purchase price will be included in the purchase agreement as security for the fulfillment of the buyer's obligations. The property has been measured according to the NEN 2580 measurement standard by a certified company, and the measurement report is available for inspection upon request.
This semi-detached home presents itself as a well-maintained family residence with good living space, a garage, and a sunny garden in a quiet location.
