Description
This well-maintained corner house is situated on a spacious plot measuring 465 square meters in a peaceful residential neighborhood. Originally constructed in 1966, the property has received numerous updates and modernizations over the years, resulting in a home that is ready for immediate occupancy. The residence offers approximately 75 square meters of living space, complemented by 8 square meters of additional indoor storage and 7 square meters of external storage space. With a total volume of 318 cubic meters, the property provides comfortable accommodation suitable for families or couples seeking a balance between indoor comfort and generous outdoor living.
Upon entering the home through the main entrance, you are welcomed into a hallway that provides access to the meter cupboard, the staircase cupboard offering valuable storage space, the staircase leading to the first floor, and a separate toilet room. The ground floor layout is practical and well-designed, with the kitchen situated to one side and the living room flowing naturally from it.
The kitchen, completely renewed in October 2024, represents one of the most significant recent investments in the property. Arranged in a straight layout, this modern culinary space comes fully equipped with a range of built-in appliances including a gas stove for precise cooking control, an oven for baking and roasting, and a dishwasher for convenient cleanup. The kitchen also features a door providing direct access to the garden, making it easy to step outside for fresh herbs from the garden or to dine al fresco during warmer months.
The living room is a particularly bright and inviting space, benefiting from large windows and double garden doors that open directly to the backyard. This design creates a harmonious connection between the interior living spaces and the outdoor environment, allowing natural light to penetrate deep into the home while facilitating easy access to the garden for relaxation, entertainment, or children's play. The living room and kitchen both benefit from underfloor heating, providing an even and comfortable warmth throughout the ground floor during the colder months without the need for visible radiators.
Ascending the staircase to the first floor, the landing provides access to three well-proportioned bedrooms and the family bathroom, along with a loft ladder leading to additional attic storage on the second floor. The three bedrooms offer flexibility for various household configurations, whether as sleeping quarters for family members, a home office, or a hobby room. One of the bedrooms features access to a roof terrace, providing a private outdoor space at an elevated level where one could enjoy morning coffee or evening relaxation.
The bathroom has been modernized to a contemporary standard and features a luxurious rain shower, offering a spa-like experience in the comfort of your own home. A modern vanity unit with sink completes the bathroom fittings, providing both functionality and aesthetic appeal. The presence of a separate toilet on the ground floor adds convenience, especially when entertaining guests.
The outdoor spaces are arguably one of the most compelling features of this property. The backyard alone measures approximately 263 square meters, with generous dimensions of 19.50 meters in depth and 13.50 meters in width. Oriented to the southwest, the garden enjoys excellent sunlight exposure throughout the afternoon and evening, making it ideal for outdoor dining, gardening, or simply relaxing in the sun. The garden has been cultivated as a green oasis with various fruit trees, providing both aesthetic beauty and the potential for homegrown produce. For those with a passion for gardening, there is ample space for a vegetable garden, and the current layout even accommodates the possibility of keeping chickens or other small animals.
A wooden storage shed is present in the garden, providing practical space for garden tools, bicycles, and outdoor equipment. Additionally, a covered area offers shelter for outdoor activities regardless of the weather. The rear of the property features a double gate and driveway, opening up the possibility of constructing a garage or additional storage building, subject to approval from the municipality. This potential for expansion adds significant value to the property for buyers with specific storage or workspace needs.
As a corner property, the home also benefits from a side garden and a front garden, enhancing the sense of space and privacy. The private driveway at the front of the property ensures convenient parking on your own premises, a valuable feature in any residential area.
Sustainability and energy efficiency have been carefully considered in the modernization of this home. Ten solar panels have been installed on the roof, generating renewable electricity that can significantly reduce household energy bills. The electrical system was completely updated in 2016, ensuring safety and compliance with current standards. In 2021, synthetic window frames were installed on the first floor, providing improved insulation and reduced maintenance compared to traditional wooden frames. The property features double glazing and floor insulation throughout, contributing to its thermal performance. The central heating system is powered by a Feroli gas-fired combination boiler manufactured in 2021, which is fully owned by the property rather than rented. The interior painting was completed in 2023, giving the home a fresh, well-maintained appearance throughout. The property currently holds an energy label rating of D, which reflects its partial modernization while indicating potential for further energy efficiency improvements in the future.
The location of this property offers an appealing combination of rural charm and practical accessibility. Essential amenities including a local supermarket and primary school are within close proximity, making daily errands and school runs convenient for families. Secondary education facilities are located approximately 4 kilometers away in Wieringerwerf, easily accessible by bicycle or car. The A7 motorway can be reached within just 5 minutes, providing excellent connectivity to larger urban centers including Hoorn and Amsterdam, making this property suitable for commuters who work in these cities but prefer to live in a quieter, more spacious environment.
The immediate surrounding area is characterized by the green and open landscape typical of this region, offering numerous opportunities for outdoor recreation including walking and cycling through the scenic countryside. This connection to nature adds significantly to the quality of life for residents, providing a peaceful retreat from the pace of urban living.
The property is being offered at an asking price of €325,000 on a buyer-pays-costs basis (kosten koper), which equates to approximately €4,333 per square meter of living area. This pricing reflects the property's generous plot size, recent modernizations, and desirable location. The transfer and acceptance date can be determined through mutual agreement between the buyer and seller.
The cadastral data for the property is registered under WIERINGERMEER G 1991, confirming the full ownership of the entire 465-square-meter plot. The property type is classified as a single-family corner house of existing construction, built in 1966.
In conclusion, this corner house represents an excellent opportunity for buyers seeking a move-in-ready family home with generous outdoor space, modern amenities, and a convenient yet peaceful location. The combination of recent renovations, including the brand-new kitchen, updated heating system, solar panels, and underfloor heating, means that the new owners can enjoy comfortable living from day one without the immediate need for major renovations or upgrades. The large, sunny garden with its fruit trees and potential for further development is a rare find that adds immeasurably to the property's appeal.
