Waterfront family home with rooftop terrace and 5 bedrooms in Noordhove
Key Features
Upsides
- Energy label A with 8 solar panels and a 2022 HR combi boiler, resulting in very low running costs and high energy performance.
- Five well-proportioned bedrooms across three floors, including a spacious fifth bedroom with air conditioning and its own direct access to a large rooftop terrace of approximately 20 square metres.
- Prime waterfront location at the rear of the property, with a recently renovated garden featuring a terrace and covered outdoor area positioned over the water.
- All five bedrooms received new plastic window frames in 2023, and the property includes a full insulation package covering roof, walls, floor, and glazing.
- Excellent location in a quiet, child-friendly neighbourhood with a high standard of local facilities and immediate proximity to the recreational area of Noord Aa.
Downsides
- The plot size of 124 square metres is relatively modest, meaning the rear garden of 43 square metres offers limited outdoor space despite its attractive layout.
- The terraced housing type means the property shares walls with neighbours on both sides, resulting in less privacy and more direct exposure to noise from adjacent residents.
- The property is classified as gestoffeerd (shell condition without floor coverings or wall finishes), which means new owners will need to invest in flooring, paint, and other interior finishes before moving in.
- Parking is on public roads only, as no private parking facility such as a garage or driveway is mentioned, which could be inconvenient in a residential area.
- The property dates from 1987 and has a flat roof covered with bituminous roofing material, which may require more frequent maintenance and eventual replacement compared to pitched roofs.
