Move-in Ready Family Home in Green Vathorst Location with Energy Label A
Key Features
Upsides
- The property holds an Energy Label A, ensuring high energy efficiency due to full insulation, HR glass, and a solar boiler combination.
- The backyard is located on the southwest, which allows for optimal enjoyment of the sun during the latter part of the day and evening.
- The home is fully move-in ready with recent updates including new laminate flooring on two floors, updated kitchen appliances, and a replaced sewage system.
- Situated in a family-friendly area in Vathorst, the home offers close proximity to schools, parks, shopping centers, and public transport.
- The layout provides four bedrooms across three floors, offering ample space for a family or the possibility to use a room as a home office.
Downsides
- The asking price per square meter is relatively high at over 4,800 euros, which is a significant investment for a terraced house of this size.
- The core of the kitchen installation dates back to 2002, with only the fronts and appliances being updated, meaning the underlying structure is over 20 years old.
- The garden depth is approximately 8.5 meters with a total area of 42 square meters, which may be considered small for those seeking a large outdoor space.
- Parking is limited to public spaces on the street, which could potentially be challenging despite the street having only destination traffic.
- As a terraced house built in 2002, noise transmission from neighbors might be a factor to consider compared to detached properties.
Description
This characteristic terraced house is situated in the green and child-friendly neighborhood of Vathorst, specifically in the sub-area De Velden. Located on a street with only local traffic, this property offers a quiet and safe living environment. Built in 2002, the residence is in excellent condition and offers a comfortable and light living space spread over three floors. The home is fully move-in ready and features four bedrooms, a modernized kitchen, and a sunny backyard. The location is highly desirable, with various amenities such as schools, playgrounds, and a petting zoo within walking distance. For daily groceries, the Winkelcentrum Vathorst is just a five-minute bike ride away. The property is also well-connected to public transport, with the NS station Amersfoort-Vathorst nearby, and the historic city center of Amersfoort is reachable within twenty minutes by bike. Additionally, the main highways A1 and A28 are easily accessible, making this an ideal home for families and commuters alike.
The ground floor layout is practical and inviting. Upon entering, you find a hallway that provides access to the meter cupboard, a toilet room, and the living quarters. The spacious open kitchen is located at the front of the house and features a light color scheme. While the basic structure dates from the construction year, it has been updated with new fronts and modern built-in appliances, including a new refrigerator, a five-burner gas hob, a new extraction hood, a dishwasher, and a sink. There is ample space for a large dining table. The living room is situated at the rear and is characterized by its brightness due to large windows and a door that opens to the garden. A practical understairs cupboard provides extra storage space. The entire ground floor has been fitted with new laminate flooring, giving it a fresh and modern look.
The first floor accommodates three bedrooms in varying sizes. Two bedrooms are located at the rear of the house, while a large bedroom at the front features a practical fixed wardrobe wall. The bathroom on this floor is neatly finished and equipped with a bath and shower combination, a washbasin furniture unit, a toilet, and a towel radiator. A fixed staircase leads to the second floor, which has been optimized to create a fourth bedroom. This floor features a landing with connections for a washing machine, the central heating boiler, and a solar boiler. A Velux skylight provides natural light. The fourth bedroom is a pleasant space, also featuring a new Velux window, and offers storage space behind the knolls. Like the ground floor, the second floor has also been provided with a new laminate floor.
The outdoor space is a highlight of the property. The maintenance-friendly backyard is approximately 8.5 meters deep and faces southwest, ensuring plenty of sunlight during the afternoon and evening. A stylish canopy with a shade cloth has been installed, offering a comfortable spot in the shade on hot days. At the back of the garden stands a free-standing wooden shed, suitable for storing bicycles and gardening tools. The garden is accessible via a back entrance. The property technically features an Energy Label A, which is achieved through full insulation and HR glass. Heating and hot water are provided by a Vaillant Eco Tec Plus combi boiler from 2013 and a solar boiler. Recent maintenance includes the replacement of the sewage system. The house is connected to a fiber optic network and features mechanical and natural ventilation systems. With four bedrooms, a sunny garden, and a prime location in a family-friendly neighborhood, this home offers all the necessary comforts for modern living.
