The rear garden is one of the notable features of this property. Accessible through a door in the kitchen, the garden faces southwest, which means it receives plenty of sunlight throughout the afternoon and into the evening. The garden has been laid out with a combination of paving and planted borders, striking a balance between ease of maintenance and visual appeal. The boundaries consist of both wooden fencing and green hedging, providing privacy from neighboring properties. At the far end of the garden stands a freestanding stone outbuilding that has an electricity connection. This structure is well suited for storing bicycles and gardening equipment. The garden measures approximately 46 square meters with a depth of nearly 12 meters and a width of over 4 meters.
The first floor of the property is accessed via the staircase from the ground floor hallway. The landing provides access to two versatile rooms and the main bathroom. The bedroom at the front of the property can serve as a sleeping quarters, home office, or hobby room depending on the needs of the occupants. The second bedroom is located at the rear of the property and is of a good size, offering views over the back garden. This rear bedroom has the added benefit of an en suite bathroom.
The en suite bathroom has been designed with a modern aesthetic, featuring light ecru wall and floor tiles combined with black accent details. The bathroom includes a walk in shower, a wash basin with a wood effect counter, and a black designer towel radiator. This arrangement provides a private and convenient bathing facility for the occupants of the rear bedroom. The entire first floor has been finished with laminate flooring and has clean wall and ceiling treatments that match the standard of the ground floor.
The property was originally constructed in 1919 and is classified as an existing build terraced house. The roof is a pitched roof type. The total volume of the building is approximately 217 cubic meters and it sits on a plot of 90 square meters. The property has an energy label D rating and benefits from double glazing throughout.

For those who enjoy nature, the areas surrounding the Vecht and the Maarsseveense Plassen offer opportunities for walking and outdoor recreation.
The property is subject to an asbestos clause and an older buildings clause due to its age. The ground is held under a perpetual leasehold right (erfpacht) with the terms from 1989, and the ground rent has been paid off in perpetuity, meaning no ongoing leasehold payments are required.
Parking in the area is provided through public on street parking. The property is described as partially furnished, though the extent of the furnishings would need to be clarified with the selling agent. The external storage building provides 6 square meters of additional space for storage purposes.
