Spacious Family Home with Deep Southeast-Facing Garden and Garage Near Nature
Key Features
Upsides
- Deep southeast-facing garden measuring 112 m² with a garden house and canopy, providing outdoor living space throughout the day and across seasons.
- Practical ground floor layout featuring both a bedroom and a home office with garden access, offering flexibility for various living situations including those who prefer single-level living or work from home.
- Garage and private parking on own property, which is a valuable feature in residential areas where on-street parking can be limited.
- Location combines proximity to daily amenities such as schools, shops, and public transport with nearby natural areas including the Groevenbeekse Heide and woodland for recreational activities.
- Modern bathroom finished with durable polyurea walls and floors, plus a separate laundry room that keeps household utilities organized and out of living spaces.
Downsides
- Energy label D indicates limited energy efficiency, with only partial HR++ glazing on the upper floor, which may result in higher energy costs compared to more modern or renovated properties.
- The property was built in 1954, and while updates have been made, older construction may have inherent maintenance requirements or limitations that newer homes do not have.
- With only two living levels and no mention of an attic or additional floor, the total living space of 95 m² may feel constrained for larger families despite having three bedrooms.
- The asking price of 435,000 euros results in a price per square meter of 4,579 euros, which should be evaluated against comparable properties in the Ermelo market to determine value for money.
Description
The property is a terraced house located on Kanoweg in Ermelo, a municipality in the province of Gelderland, Netherlands. Built in 1954, this residence has been developed over the years into a functional family home with various practical features. The living area measures 95 square meters, complemented by 22 square meters of additional indoor space and 6 square meters of external storage. The total plot size is 252 square meters, with a building volume of 416 cubic meters. The property features a traditional gable roof covered with tiles, characteristic of Dutch residential architecture from the mid-twentieth century.
The ground floor layout has been thoughtfully arranged to accommodate modern living requirements. Upon entering, there is a hallway with a toilet and a staircase cupboard housing the electrical distribution board. The living room is situated at the front of the house and benefits from a large window that allows abundant natural light to enter the space. Connected to the living room is the dining area, which provides sufficient room for a substantial dining table. A sliding door in the dining room creates a seamless transition to the backyard, effectively connecting the indoor and outdoor living areas.
The half-open kitchen is equipped with built-in appliances including a gas stove, extractor hood, refrigerator-freezer combination, and dishwasher. Behind the kitchen, there is a versatile space currently utilized as a home office but equally suitable as a utility room. This area has direct access to the garden, making it an appealing location for those who work from home. Additionally, the ground floor includes a first bedroom that can serve as either a sleeping quarters or a workspace, adding to the flexibility of the layout.
The first floor is designed with family living in mind. From the landing, which features a fixed storage closet and the central heating boiler installation, there is access to two bedrooms, a bathroom, and a separate laundry room. The second bedroom is generous in size and includes a built-in wardrobe and large windows that ensure pleasant natural light. The third bedroom is also spacious, making it suitable for use as a children's room, guest room, or additional workspace. Each bedroom on this floor has its own built-in closet, providing practical storage solutions.
The bathroom presents a modern appearance and has been finished with durable sprayed polyurea walls and floors. This material choice offers both aesthetic appeal and practical benefits in terms of maintenance and longevity. The bathroom includes a bathtub, shower, toilet, and a vanity unit. The separate laundry room accommodates the washing machine and dryer, keeping these appliances out of the main living areas and contributing to an organized household routine.
The heating system consists of an HR combination boiler from 2013, manufactured by Nefit Proline, which is a gas-fired unit owned by the property. The upper floor has been partially fitted with HR++ glazing, contributing to improved energy efficiency compared to the original specifications. The property currently holds an energy label D, and roof insulation has been installed.
One of the most notable features of this property is the backyard. Measuring 112 square meters with a depth of 27.43 meters and a width of 6.03 meters, the garden faces southeast, allowing residents to enjoy both sunny and shaded areas throughout the day. The considerable depth of the garden provides ample space for various uses, whether for children's play, creating multiple terrace areas, or establishing a green garden landscape. The garden includes a garden house with a canopy, offering a sheltered seating area that can be enjoyed regardless of the season.
At the rear of the property, there is an attached stone storage building and a garage. The garage can accommodate one car and is suitable for vehicle storage, bicycle parking, or as a workshop space for hobbies and DIY projects. Directly in front of the garage, there is an opportunity to park a vehicle on the private driveway. A service road behind the property provides access to these facilities.
The location on Kanoweg is described as a quiet street within a pleasant residential environment. Daily amenities are within easy reach, including schools, sports facilities, shops, and public transportation. The town center of Ermelo is readily accessible. The surrounding area is characterized by green spaces, with both woodland and extensive heathland nearby, offering numerous opportunities for walking and cycling activities. The Groevenbeekse Heide, mentioned in the listing, is one such natural area in the vicinity.
The property includes outdoor blinds and has a fiber optic cable connection, catering to modern connectivity requirements. The cadastral designation is ERMELO F 8183, with full ownership status.
The combination of features offered by this property includes a practical layout with both a bedroom and office on the ground floor, three full-sized bedrooms in total, a deep sunny garden, a garage, and the ability to park on private property. Combined with the peaceful location near amenities, forest, and heathland, the residence is positioned to suit various housing needs both in the present and for future requirements. The presence of ground floor sleeping and working options adds accessibility for those who may have difficulty with stairs, while the three bedrooms and additional flexible spaces provide room for a family to grow and adapt their living arrangements over time.
