Well-Maintained Extended Terraced Home in Quiet Family-Friendly Wijchen Neighborhood
Key Features
Upsides
- The ground floor has been extended and features underfloor heating throughout combined with a gas fireplace, creating a comfortable and inviting living space.
- Fourteen solar panels were installed in 2022, providing significant energy savings and reducing ongoing utility costs.
- The location offers excellent convenience with schools, the Zuiderpoort shopping center, sports facilities, and nature areas all within walking or short cycling distance.
- Two dormer windows on the second floor have substantially increased usable space, providing flexibility for an additional bedroom, office, or hobby room.
- The master bedroom can be easily divided into two separate rooms, allowing the property to adapt to different family configurations or work-from-home needs.
Downsides
- The CV boiler dates from 2002, making it over twenty years old and likely approaching the end of its expected lifespan, which may require replacement in the near future.
- The property only offers public parking with no dedicated parking space or garage, which could be inconvenient for households with multiple vehicles.
- The backyard faces east, meaning it receives morning sun but limited afternoon and evening sunlight for outdoor enjoyment.
- The garden measures only 53 square meters, which may feel small for families wanting more outdoor space for children or gardening.
- The property currently has only three bedrooms, and while the master can be split, this would require additional renovation work and costs.

Built in 1988, this property has been thoughtfully upgraded over the years to enhance its livability and energy efficiency. The ground floor has been extended to create a more spacious living area, and both the ground floor and bathroom benefit from underfloor heating. The roof features fourteen solar panels that were installed in 2022, contributing to lower energy costs. Two dormer windows have been added to the second floor, significantly increasing the usable space on this level.
Upon entering the home through the entrance hall, you will find a wardrobe area, the meter cupboard, a toilet room, and the staircase to the upper floors. The ground floor is finished with a PVC floor equipped with underfloor heating, while the walls and ceilings have been neatly finished with smooth plasterwork and moldings, giving the space a clean and well-cared-for appearance.
The extended living room serves as a pleasant and functional living space with ample room for both a generous seating area and a dining table. A gas fireplace adds warmth and character to the room, creating a cozy atmosphere during colder months. Sliding doors at the rear provide direct access to the backyard, and an exterior sunshade offers additional comfort on sunny days.
The half-open kitchen is positioned at the front of the house in an L-shaped layout. It features a granite countertop and comes equipped with various built-in appliances, including an induction cooktop, combi-oven, microwave, extractor hood, dishwasher, and a refrigerator-freezer combination. Underfloor heating is also present in the kitchen area, adding to the overall comfort of the ground floor.
The first floor accommodates the landing, a spacious master bedroom at the rear, and a second bedroom. The larger bedroom can be easily divided back into two separate rooms if desired, making the property suitable for those who need additional sleeping quarters, a home office, or children's rooms. This flexibility allows the layout to be adapted to changing needs over time.
The bathroom on this floor has been modernized and features a walk-in shower, a wall-hung toilet, a double vanity in a cabinet, underfloor heating, and a ventilation window. This complete bathroom meets contemporary standards for comfort and functionality.
The second floor offers surprisingly generous space thanks to the dormer windows at both the front and rear of the property. This level is finished with a laminate floor and provides space for an additional bedroom, home office, or hobby room. The CV boiler, washing machine, and dryer are also located on this floor, keeping utility functions conveniently out of the main living areas.
The property includes a low-maintenance front garden and a backyard facing east. The backyard has been laid with paving and features a plastered storage shed spanning the full width of the garden. A covered seating area allows for sheltered outdoor relaxation even when the weather is less favorable. The garden is equipped with electricity, a water tap, a drain, and a rear access path.
With a living area of 124 square meters, an external storage space of 14 square meters, and a plot size of 141 square meters, this property offers a practical and comfortable living environment. The home has a volume of 410 cubic meters and features three living levels with four rooms in total, including three bedrooms. Energy efficiency is rated at label B, with insulation present in the roof, walls, and floors, as well as double glazing throughout.
Heating is provided by a Nefit Ecomline HR gas-fired combination boiler from 2002, which is owned by the current owner. Additional heating comes from the gas fireplace in the living room and the partial underfloor heating system. The property includes fiber optic cable connection and mechanical ventilation.
Parking is available through public parking in the immediate vicinity. The property is offered at 450,000 euros buyer's costs, which translates to approximately 3,629 euros per square meter of living space. The cadastral designation is WIJCHEN F 1814, with full ownership of the 141 square meter plot.
This terraced house in Wijchen represents a solid choice for buyers seeking a move-in ready home in a peaceful residential area with excellent access to daily amenities and recreational opportunities.
