Character Home with Modern Extension in Sought-After Oudwijk
Key Features
Upsides
- Energy label A with seven solar panels, roof insulation, and wall insulation, resulting in lower energy consumption and future-ready efficiency.
- Prime Oudwijk location near Wilhelminapark, the Burgemeester Reigerstraat, and Nachtegaalstraat, with Utrecht's historic center just minutes away.
- Four bedrooms achieved through a 2017 second-floor extension, providing ample space for families or those needing a home office.
- Modern updates including a 2016 bathroom renovation, underfloor heating on the ground floor, and a contemporary kitchen with Quooker and stone worktop.
- Move-in ready condition with careful maintenance over the years, allowing buyers to settle in without immediate renovation projects.
Downsides
- Paid parking in the area requiring permits, adding ongoing costs for vehicle owners.
- Small garden at only 29 square meters, which may feel limited for families with children or those who enjoy outdoor living.
- Terraced house construction means shared walls with neighbors, potentially resulting in noise transfer between properties.
- 1933 construction date means the original structure is nearly a century old, which could involve hidden maintenance needs despite the upgrades.
- Price per square meter at 6,628 euros is relatively high, reflecting the desirable location but representing a significant investment.
Description
This terraced house located in the Oudwijk neighborhood of Utrecht presents a combination of traditional character and modern living comfort. Originally built in 1933, the property has undergone significant improvements over the years, most notably the addition of a spacious second floor in 2017. The result is a home that offers four bedrooms across three living levels, making it suitable for families or those who require additional space for a home office or guest rooms.
The ground floor features a solid concrete floor with underfloor heating, which contributes to a comfortable indoor climate throughout the year. The living room is fitted with attractive wooden floorboards and has open doors leading directly to the garden. The modern kitchen is equipped with a Quooker instant boiling water tap and a timeless stone worktop, along with a refrigerator and freezer combination. A separate toilet is located on this level, and a staircase cupboard provides practical storage space.
The first floor contains two bedrooms, one at the front and one at the rear of the property. The bathroom on this level was renovated in 2016 and includes a walk-in shower, a bathtub, a toilet, and a washbasin. A fixed cabinet on the landing houses the washing machine connection, keeping laundry facilities neatly tucked away while remaining easily accessible.
The second floor, added in 2017, offers two additional bedrooms, also positioned at the front and rear of the house. The front bedroom features useful knee wall storage spaces, providing extra room for organizing belongings. A washbasin is located on the landing of this floor for convenience.
The property benefits from several energy-efficient features that contribute to its A energy label. Seven solar panels have been installed to reduce electricity costs. The roof is insulated, and the exterior walls of the extension have been insulated as well. The new roof section is covered with EPDM, a durable rubber roofing material known for its longevity. Double glazing is present throughout the home.
Heating and hot water are provided by a gas-fired combination boiler installed around 2016, which is included in the purchase. The ground floor benefits from partial underfloor heating, though the kitchen area has a different heating arrangement. Mechanical and natural ventilation systems are in place to maintain good air quality inside the home.
The garden measures approximately 29 square meters and extends about 8.30 meters in depth with a width of 3.50 meters. It faces southwest, which means it receives afternoon and evening sun, making it a pleasant outdoor space during warmer months. The L-shaped layout adds some visual interest to the garden design.
Oudwijk is widely recognized as one of the most desirable residential areas in Utrecht. The neighborhood is characterized by its authentic architecture, tree-lined streets, and a friendly, almost village-like atmosphere despite being within the city. The Burgemeester Reigerstraat and Nachtegaalstraat, both within walking distance, offer a variety of shops, coffee houses, and specialty stores for daily needs and leisure.
Wilhelminapark, one of Utrecht's notable green spaces, is located nearby and provides opportunities for walking, relaxation, and outdoor activities. The historic city center of Utrecht can be reached within minutes by bicycle or on foot, offering access to a wide range of cultural attractions, restaurants, and entertainment venues.
The property is situated on a quiet street that feels somewhat hidden from the busier thoroughfares, yet it remains well-connected to the rest of the city. This positioning allows residents to enjoy a peaceful home environment while having urban amenities readily available.
Parking in the area operates on a paid parking system with permits available for residents. Prospective buyers should factor this into their considerations regarding transportation and mobility.
The total living area measures 113 square meters, while the plot covers 80 square meters. The interior volume of the home is approximately 400 cubic meters. The property is delivered in its current condition, with the specific handover date to be agreed upon between buyer and seller.
The asking price is set at 749,000 euros, which translates to approximately 6,628 euros per square meter of living space. This price is exclusive of buyer costs such as transfer tax, notary fees, and any mortgage-related expenses.
Given the combination of location, condition, energy efficiency, and the number of bedrooms, this property represents a compelling option for buyers seeking a move-in ready home in one of Utrecht's most appreciated neighborhoods. The 2017 extension significantly added to the usable space, while the 2016 bathroom renovation and other upgrades ensure that the home meets contemporary standards of comfort and efficiency.
