Atmospheric and Well-Maintained 1930s Corner House in Angerenstein
Key Features
Description
Located on Karthuizerstraat in the sought-after Angerenstein neighborhood of Arnhem, this corner house from 1937 offers a combination of classic 1930s architecture and modern living comfort. The property has been carefully maintained and updated by the current owners over the years, resulting in a family home that meets contemporary standards while preserving its original character.
The Angerenstein district is considered one of the most desirable residential areas in northern Arnhem. Residents benefit from proximity to Park Angerenstein and the Julianabeek stream, both within walking distance. The neighborhood also offers various playgrounds for children, schools, shops, sports facilities, and public transport connections. The A12 and A50 motorways are easily accessible, making this location practical for families who value a quiet living environment with amenities close at hand.
The house has a living area of 151 square meters and a total volume of approximately 609 cubic meters. The plot measures 335 square meters. With five bedrooms and two full bathrooms, the property provides ample space for a family. The energy label is rated B, reflecting the insulation improvements that have been implemented.
Entering the property, you step into a characteristic vestibule that leads to a hallway with access to the living room and the staircase to the upper floors. The ground floor features a living room en suite with an attractive bay window at the front, allowing plenty of natural light to enter. The living area connects seamlessly with the dining room and the extended kitchen at the rear of the house.
The kitchen was extended in 2014, creating a spacious U-shaped layout equipped with various built-in appliances. From the kitchen, sliding doors open directly to the garden, blending indoor and outdoor living. A practical wine and storage cellar is accessible from the ground floor, providing additional storage space.
The first floor comprises a landing, two spacious bedrooms, and a third room suitable as a children's room, home office, or study. One of the bedrooms has access to a balcony at the rear and includes built-in wardrobes. The bathroom on this floor has been enlarged and modernized, featuring a bathtub, shower, vanity unit, and toilet.
The second floor has been fully converted into a proper living level thanks to the installation of a large dormer window. This floor includes a landing with laundry facilities, a second bathroom with shower and washbasin, and two additional bedrooms. The rear bedroom benefits from extra space due to the dormer window and the high roof construction.
The outdoor spaces are a notable feature of this property. The garden extends along the side and rear of the house, designed with attention to detail to provide a balance between sun and shade throughout the day and across seasons. Fruit trees including cherry, apple, fig, and grape vines have been planted in the garden. The front garden features a characteristic acacia tree. A freestanding stone storage building is situated in the rear garden, accessible via a back path. Behind this storage building is a covered area suitable for storing bicycles or other items.
The current owners have invested in various modernization and sustainability measures. Wall, floor, and roof insulation have been applied. The electrical installation has been renewed. Windows are fitted with HR and HR++ glazing, with external sun blinds installed at the front of the house. The painting maintenance is managed through a contract, with the most recent maintenance completed in 2025. An electric vehicle charging point is available at the front of the property.
Heating is provided by a Remeha Calenta gas-fired combination boiler from 2015, which is owned rather than rented. Additional heating options include a gas fireplace and partial underfloor heating. Hot water is supplied by the central heating boiler and an electric boiler. The property has a mechanical ventilation system.
Parking is available on the public road in the vicinity of the property. The house is situated on a quiet street with primarily local traffic, contributing to a peaceful living environment.
This corner house represents a well-maintained family home in a popular location. The combination of the original 1930s architectural elements, such as the vestibule and en suite living room, with modern additions like the kitchen extension, second bathroom, and energy efficiency improvements, creates a property that is ready for immediate occupancy. The five bedrooms and two bathrooms accommodate families of various sizes, while the garden and outdoor spaces provide additional living and recreation areas.
