Waterfront terraced house with historic charm and private garden

This property presents a rare opportunity to reside in a tranquil water side setting while remaining within easy reach of Utrecht city centre. The residence is positioned on a historic route that predates the modern layout of the city. Directly opposite the house a traditional windmill can be seen, reinforcing the sense of Dutch heritage. The waterway runs alongside the front of the home, providing pleasant views and the sound of gentle water movement.

The building was constructed in 1910 and retains many characteristic details of its era. The roof is a mansard style covered with traditional tiles. The structure has been upgraded with comprehensive insulation in the roof, walls and floor, contributing to a comfortable indoor climate. Heating is supplied by a gas fired combination boiler installed in 2021. The boiler also provides domestic hot water and works in conjunction with a full floor heating system throughout the main living areas.

The total usable floor area measures 177 square metres and is measured according to the BBMI standard. This figure includes the main house of approximately 160 square metres and a separate outbuilding of around 17 square metres. The outbuilding does not have a separate residential designation but is suitable for use as an atelier, fitness studio, workshop or hobby space. The property sits on a plot of 193 square metres and benefits from a rear garden that backs onto the water. A roof terrace adds additional outdoor living space with views over the canal. A detached stone storage building provides extra room for tools or seasonal items.

Inside the home there are five rooms, four of which are configured as bedrooms. Two full bathrooms are provided together with a separate toilet. The bathroom facilities include two showers, double wash basins and two toilets. The kitchen is positioned centrally and features an island that serves as a gathering point for family members. The layout of the ground floor is logical and allows easy movement between living, dining and kitchen areas. The three storey arrangement places the bedrooms on the upper levels, offering privacy and quiet.

The location combines the serenity of water front living with the convenience of urban amenities. Within a short cycling distance the historic centre of Utrecht can be reached, offering a range of shops, bakeries, markets, cafés and restaurants. Public transport is readily accessible, with a station located within walking distance. Sports facilities, swimming areas and green spaces are also nearby, providing options for active recreation. The property is part of a residential neighbourhood that enjoys a calm atmosphere while still being close to the vibrancy of city life.

Ownership is full and the property is offered for sale at a price of €1,350,000, which translates to approximately €7,627 per square metre based on the total usable area. The sale is listed as available and the handover date can be negotiated with the seller. Parking is managed through a paid system and permits are available for residents.
