Characterful 1930s Corner Home with Guest House and A+++ Energy Label

Located on the charming Laarweg in Velp-Zuid, this corner house from 1930 presents a unique opportunity for buyers seeking a characterful home with modern amenities. The property is situated below the railway line in a green and peaceful area, directly opposite the NSW estate Larenstein, which provides an abundance of greenery, tranquility, and privacy.

The residence has been thoroughly renovated and is maintained in excellent condition. With a total living area of approximately 132 square meters, the house offers generous space for comfortable family living. The energy label A+++ ensures very low energy costs, which is particularly notable for a property of this age. This impressive energy rating has been achieved through comprehensive insulation measures including roof insulation, cavity wall insulation, and floor insulation, combined with eighteen solar panels and a hybrid heat pump.

Upon entering the property through the front door, you are welcomed into a spacious hallway featuring the original terrazzo flooring. A beautiful staircase leads to the upper floors, while the hallway provides access to a toilet, a storage closet under the stairs, and the living room. The living room has been designed as a suite of rooms separated by original sliding doors, maintaining the authentic character of the 1930s period. The room features panel doors, a bay window with stained glass panels, and an oak wooden floor that adds warmth and character to the space.

The dining area connects seamlessly to the open kitchen and features a sliding patio door that opens directly onto the terrace and backyard. The modern kitchen is equipped with underfloor heating and includes a peninsula with a sink and seating area, making it a social space suitable for breakfast or casual drinks. The kitchen has a white composite worktop and is fitted with an induction cooktop, oven, dishwasher, large refrigerator, and an extractor hood with external ventilation. From the kitchen, you reach a bright utility room that houses a freezer and provides additional storage space, with a door leading to the garden.

The first floor is accessed via a landing that provides entry to two large bedrooms and a smaller bedroom that can serve as a bedroom or home office. The luxurious bathroom features underfloor heating and is equipped with a double vanity unit with dual taps and an illuminated upper cabinet, a rain shower, a bathtub, and a second floating toilet.

The second floor houses the fourth bedroom in the attic space. Multiple skylights have been installed, allowing plenty of daylight to enter and providing pleasant views over the buildings and greenery of Velp. The landing area on this floor offers space for a washing machine and additional storage.

A particularly noteworthy feature of this property is the detached stone outbuilding that serves as a guest house. This building has been fully insulated, including cavity wall construction, and has its own crawl space and central heating installation. The hybrid heat pump of the main house has been dimensioned to allow for future connection of the outbuilding. The guest accommodation has its own entrance leading to a kitchenette, which gives access to a bathroom with shower, sink, and toilet. The living room features a mezzanine level, and a staircase leads to a bright bedroom. From 2021 to 2026, this space was rented as a bed and breakfast, but it would also be highly suitable as a practice space, artist studio, or kangaroo house for multi-generational living. Adjacent to the guest house is a storage building with a large window and a loft for additional storage space, housing the central heating installation for the outbuilding.

The outdoor spaces are equally impressive. The front garden provides parking space on the property, with a connection already installed and ready for an electric vehicle charging point. A wide pathway runs alongside the house to the backyard and outbuilding, which can be closed off with black metal gates. This side passage houses the heat pump and provides space for waste bins.

The generous backyard features multiple terraces, a lawn, planted borders, fruit trees, hedges, and play areas. In 2024, the garden was extended with an additional 150 square meters of land. A greenhouse was also added in the same year, complete with water, electricity, and lighting. The garden is equipped with outdoor lighting and has been attractively landscaped.

The location of Laarweg in Velp offers an excellent combination of peace and accessibility. The street is green and quiet, with the Larenstein estate directly opposite providing a park-like setting. A fast cycling path connects the area efficiently to the center of Arnhem. The center of Velp with its shops and restaurants, a Lidl supermarket, various schools, and the NS railway station are all within walking distance. The major highways A12, A50, A325, and A348 are quickly accessible by car.
