Description
This semi-detached house is located in the center of Klein Zundert, a residential area in close proximity to the town of Zundert in the southern part of the Netherlands. The property was originally constructed in 1960 and features a traditional pitched roof covered with tiles. Over the years, the building has seen some modifications, most notably the addition of a stone garage in 1989.
The ground floor layout reflects an interesting history, as the front section was previously used as a retail space or shop. This area has since been repurposed into a multifunctional room that presents various possibilities for the new owner. The space could function as a second living room, a home office, a playroom for children, or any other purpose that aligns with the buyer's requirements. This adaptability is one of the defining characteristics of this particular property.
Adjacent to this former commercial space is the through-living room, which benefits from windows on both the front and back facades, allowing natural light to penetrate the space effectively. At the rear of the ground floor, a back portal provides access to the kitchen and a fixed staircase leading to the first floor. Behind the kitchen lies a utility room that houses the toilet and laundry facilities. Above this utility room is a practical attic space that offers additional storage options for household items.
The first floor features a landing that provides access to two generous bedrooms, a full bathroom, a fixed closet, and a folding attic staircase. The bathroom is equipped with a sink, shower, and bathtub. From the landing, there is also a door leading to a roof terrace situated above the kitchen, providing an elevated outdoor space on the first floor level.
The second floor consists of an attic space accessible via a hatch from the first-floor landing. This area serves as additional storage space for seasonal items and other belongings that are not needed on a daily basis.
The property includes an attached stone garage that was constructed in 1989. The garage has electrical connections and is accessible from the outside. It offers space for parking one vehicle, storing bicycles, housing tools and equipment, or could potentially serve as a hobby room. In addition to the garage, there is a detached wooden storage shed on the property for additional outdoor storage needs.
Parking is available on the property's own driveway, providing convenient off-street parking for residents and visitors alike.
The rear garden faces southwest, which is considered a favorable orientation in the Netherlands as it allows residents to enjoy afternoon and evening sunlight throughout the year. The garden measures approximately 144 square meters, with dimensions of about 12.07 meters in depth and 11.95 meters in width. The garden offers a balance between planted greenery and open space suitable for a terrace, providing ample room for children to play and for adults to relax with outdoor furniture while enjoying the sun until late in the evening.
One particularly noteworthy feature of this property is its zoning designation. According to the Omgevingsloket.nl, the property has a mixed use zoning with a function designation of residential. This mixed zoning classification allows for various uses including offices, residential use on upper floors, residential use on the ground floor where designated as such, and service provision. This means that the property could potentially be used for a home-based business or office in addition to standard residential purposes, offering flexibility that standard residential zoning typically does not provide. This could be particularly attractive to entrepreneurs, freelancers, or small business owners who wish to combine their living and working spaces.
The location in Klein Zundert is described as central, with daily amenities, shops, and services within easy reach. The town of Zundert is nearby and easily accessible, including via a bicycle bridge for cyclists. Directly across from the property is the newly built primary school of Klein Zundert, which could be convenient for families with young children. Additionally, the wooded countryside area is described as being just around the corner, offering opportunities for outdoor recreation and nature walks.
In terms of energy efficiency, the property has an energy label F, which indicates relatively low energy efficiency by current Dutch standards. The property has mostly double glazing installed, which provides some insulation improvement over older single glazing windows. Heating and hot water are provided by a gas-fired central heating boiler from 1980, which is owned by the property owner. Additionally, there is a geyser for supplementary hot water provision. The property features natural ventilation, shutters, and a chimney.
The total living area is 135 square meters, with an additional 67 square meters of other indoor space. The building-related outdoor space measures 14 square meters, and there is 13 square meters of external storage space. The total volume of the building is 635 cubic meters. The plot area is 333 square meters.
The property is offered at an asking price of 385,000 euros, which translates to approximately 2,852 euros per square meter of living space. The property is currently available and transfer terms are to be negotiated. The property is offered with full ownership rights.
The cadastral designation is ZUNDERT B 2558. This semi-detached house represents an opportunity for buyers seeking a property with flexible usage options in a central village location with good access to both local amenities and surrounding natural areas.
