Description
Located at Lavendelstraat 31 in the city of Apeldoorn, this corner house presents a unique opportunity for those looking to put their own stamp on a property. Situated in a particularly quiet and green part of the neighborhood, this residence has served as a family home for decades. Now, it stands ready for a new chapter, requiring updates and modernization to meet contemporary standards while offering a solid foundation for a comfortable living experience.
Upon entering the home, the hallway immediately serves as a practical transition zone from the outside world. This space offers ample room to function as a wardrobe or coat area, ensuring that outerwear and shoes can be stored neatly away from the living quarters. Moving through the interior door, one steps into the main living area. This room is characterized by a pleasant abundance of natural light, facilitated by windows situated on the front, side, and rear facades. This strategic placement of windows ensures a bright and airy atmosphere throughout the day. The living area is generously proportioned, providing enough space to designate distinct areas for a comfortable lounge suite and a dining table, making it an ideal setting for both relaxation and entertaining guests.
In an open connection with the living room lies the kitchen. Currently arranged in a corner setup, this kitchen has been in reliable service for many years. While it is functional and can certainly be used for a time, the description suggests that it possesses a distinct vintage aesthetic. For potential buyers who are not specifically seeking a retro look, this space offers a blank canvas to create a modern culinary heart of the home that suits personal tastes and requirements. A notable feature of the kitchen is the garden door, which provides a direct visual and physical connection to the outdoors, promising plenty of activity and easy access to the garden during the warmer months.
Situated along the long wall of the living area, a door leads to an intermediate portal. This space houses the toilet room, which is equipped with a closet and a fountain. Additionally, the staircase to the upper floors is located here, providing a central and practical route to the sleeping quarters.
Ascending to the first floor, you arrive at a long landing that provides access to the various rooms. This floor hosts two spacious bedrooms and one more modest bedroom, offering flexible accommodation options for a family or a home office setup. The bathroom on this level is fitted with a shower, a sink, and a washing machine connection, catering to the daily hygiene and laundry needs of the household. The listing indicates that the toilet on this floor has a different location, which likely refers to the separate toilet facility mentioned earlier or a specific layout detail that adds to the practical distribution of utilities.
The second floor is accessible via an open staircase leading to the attic. This space is described as being full of possibilities. Currently an open area, it houses the central heating boiler, a Remeha gas-fired combi boiler owned by the property. During the day, a skylight ensures that natural light penetrates this floor, making it a viable candidate for conversion into an additional bedroom, a generous studio, or a storage area, depending on the needs of the new owners.
Moving outside, the property offers a favorable position in a secluded cul-de-sac area. Located on a footpath with only destination traffic passing behind the house, the outdoor environment is peaceful and safe. The property benefits from the privacy provided by a front garden, combined with a backyard located on the southeast. This southeast orientation is a desirable feature, as it allows residents to enjoy the sun in the garden during a significant part of the day. The garden includes a stone shed and an overhang, which can be used for various purposes, including parking a car, offering a practical solution for vehicle storage.
The neighborhood, known as De Mheen which is part of the Zevenhuizen district, is characterized as a diverse and friendly area with mature greenery and ample space for play. Daily shopping can be done at the nearby Winkelcentrum De Mheen, which is within a very short distance. Schools, as well as recreation and sports facilities, are also found in close proximity, making this a convenient location for families.
For broader amenities, the city center of Apeldoorn with its extensive nightlife and shopping options is easily reachable by bicycle. Public transport users will find a bus stop within walking distance at the shopping center. The location is also highly advantageous for commuters, as the ring road is easily accessible, providing quick routes to other districts of Apeldoorn and the A50 or A1 highways. This connectivity ensures that destinations throughout the country are within easy reach.
Technically, the home is classified as a corner house built in 1969. It has a living area of 98 square meters and a plot size of 150 square meters. The energy label is D, and the property features partial double glazing. Heating and hot water are provided by the aforementioned Remeha combi boiler. It is important to note that the property is sold with a non-occupancy clause and an age clause. Furthermore, no property questionnaire is available, meaning buyers will need to rely on their own inspections and the information provided during viewings to assess the condition of the home. This property represents a chance to acquire a home in a established and pleasant neighborhood with the potential to create a personalized living space.
