Detached living with a permanent vacation feeling in a green park setting

This detached house is situated at Koningsveld 25 in the municipality of Heiloo, located in the province of North Holland in the Netherlands. Heiloo is a town positioned between the city of Alkmaar and the North Sea coastline, offering its residents an appealing combination of peaceful residential living with convenient access to urban facilities and natural landscapes.

The property is located within the Koningsveld park, a small-scale residential park on the southern side of Heiloo. This park setting creates a distinctive living environment where residents can enjoy the atmosphere of a holiday destination while benefiting from the practical advantages of permanent residence. The surrounding greenery and carefully maintained communal areas contribute to a sense of tranquility that distinguishes this location from typical residential neighborhoods.

Built in 1991, the house stands on a plot measuring 241 square meters. The total living area is 89 square meters, distributed across two main residential floors. Additionally, the property includes 8 square meters of other indoor space and 9 square meters of external storage. The overall volume of the structure is 356 cubic meters. The roof is a traditional gable roof covered with clay tiles, which is characteristic of Dutch residential architecture.

The ground floor layout begins with an entrance hall that provides access to the various ground floor spaces. From this hall, residents can reach a closet that also houses the central heating boiler, the first bathroom, and the main living area. The living room has been designed to maximize the sense of space and light, featuring large window sections and a sliding patio door that connects the interior with the garden. The floor throughout this level is finished with tile flooring, which is practical for maintenance and contributes to a cohesive aesthetic. An open staircase leads from the living area to the upper floor, enhancing the feeling of spatial continuity.

The kitchen is integrated with the living room in an open layout configuration. The kitchen units feature light-colored front panels that create a bright and contemporary appearance. The kitchen is equipped with various built-in appliances, though the specific types and brands are not detailed in the listing information.

The ground floor bathroom is designed for convenience, containing a toilet, a washbasin, and a walk-in shower. Having a bathroom on the ground floor is practical for residents and guests, as well as for potential age-in-place considerations.

The first floor is accessed via the open staircase from the living room. A central landing provides access to three bedrooms and the second bathroom. The presence of a sloping roof on this floor gives the rooms a characteristic attic-like quality while still providing usable living space. One of the bedrooms benefits from additional natural light through the inclusion of a dormer window and a side window. This particular room would be suitable as a master bedroom or a home office space where good lighting is valued.

The second bathroom on the first floor is described as spacious and includes a shower corner, a washbasin, and a second toilet. Natural light enters this bathroom through a skylight, which also serves a ventilation function to maintain air quality and prevent moisture accumulation.

Access to the second floor is achieved through a pull-down ladder, known in Dutch as a vlizotrap. This upper level consists of a storage attic that offers standing height in at least part of the space, making it suitable for storage of seasonal items, luggage, and other belongings that are not needed on a daily basis.

The outdoor spaces of the property are designed to complement the park-like setting. The garden surrounds the house on all sides, providing views of greenery from multiple rooms. Several terraces have been created at different locations around the property, allowing residents to follow the sun throughout the day or seek shade as preferred. The main terrace is positioned directly adjacent to the living room sliding doors, effectively extending the interior living space into the garden during warmer months. A veranda or garden room structure provides a covered outdoor space that can be enjoyed even during light rain or intense sunshine. Privacy in the garden is enhanced by the presence of hedges that screen the property from neighboring views.

On the side of the house, a storage building of stone construction provides additional practical space. This outbuilding is equipped with electricity and running water, increasing its utility for gardening activities, hobby purposes, or general storage needs.

The energy performance of the property is rated at label C, which represents a moderate level of energy efficiency according to the Dutch energy labeling system. The house has been improved with various insulation measures including roof insulation, double glazing in the windows, wall insulation, and floor insulation. These measures help reduce heat loss and contribute to lower energy consumption for heating.

Heating throughout the property is provided by underfloor heating, which offers even heat distribution and eliminates the need for radiators that would occupy wall space. The heating system and domestic hot water are supplied by a Remeha Avanta HR combination boiler, which is a gas-fired condensing boiler. This boiler was installed in 2020 and is owned by the current property owner, meaning it will transfer to the buyer as part of the property sale.

The property is subject to membership in the Vereniging van Eigenaren Bungalowpark Koningsveld, which is the homeowners association responsible for managing the communal areas and facilities of the park. The annual contribution for park costs is approximately 450 euros based on the 2024 figures. These fees cover maintenance of the park and reserves for future maintenance, administration and management costs, association contributions and insurance premiums, and other general costs associated with the communal infrastructure.

The location of Koningsveld offers several advantages in terms of accessibility and local amenities. The North Sea coastline with its beaches and dune landscapes can be reached within a short drive or cycle. The Heiloo railway station provides direct train connections to various destinations, including the cities of Alkmaar and Amsterdam. Major road connections are also accessible for those who prefer to travel by car.

Within Heiloo itself, residents have access to a comprehensive range of daily amenities. These include multiple supermarkets and shops for grocery and retail needs, various restaurants and cafes for dining and socializing, sports clubs and facilities for recreational activities, primary schools for families with children, and an outdoor swimming pool for summer recreation.

The natural environment surrounding Heiloo provides additional leisure opportunities. Several country estates are located nearby, including Landgoed Ter Coulster, Landgoed Nijenburg, and De Karremel. These estates offer walking and cycling paths through forests, meadows, and landscaped gardens, providing a direct connection to the North Holland countryside.

Parking for residents and visitors is available on the public roads adjacent to the property, as there is no dedicated private parking space or garage included with the house.

The property is connected to the fiber optic cable network, ensuring high-speed internet connectivity for residents who require reliable broadband for work, entertainment, or communication purposes.

The asking price for this property is 565,000 euros, offered on a buyer's costs basis. This means that in addition to the purchase price, the buyer will be responsible for paying the transfer tax, currently set at 2 percent for residential properties in the Netherlands, as well as the fees charged by the notary for executing the property transfer and registering the mortgage deed if applicable. Based on the living area of 89 square meters, the asking price translates to approximately 6,348 euros per square meter.

The transfer date for the property is to be determined through negotiation between the buyer and seller, allowing both parties to coordinate the timing of the move according to their individual circumstances and requirements.
