Fully Renovated Terraced Home with Water Views and Southwest-Facing Terrace in Nieuwland
Key Features
Upsides
- The property has been extensively renovated in the past year with new underfloor heating throughout, herringbone tile floors on all levels, fully renovated bathroom and toilets, replastered walls, renewed electrical systems, and a new mechanical ventilation unit, making it move-in ready without any additional investment required.
- The southwest-facing terrace of approximately 24 square meters is situated directly by the water, offering a pleasant outdoor living space with afternoon and evening sun exposure and an open view.
- The energy label A rating combined with full insulation and district heating indicates low energy costs and a comfortable indoor climate, which is increasingly important for both living comfort and property value.
- The location in the Nieuwland district provides a family-friendly environment with shops, schools, sports facilities, and public transport within walking distance, while the A1 and A28 highways are reachable within minutes for convenient commuting to Amsterdam and Utrecht.
- The flexible layout allows the ground floor garden room to serve as either a bedroom or additional living space, and the garage offers potential for conversion into a home office or practice room, adapting to various lifestyle needs.
Downsides
- The seller has never personally occupied the property, and no standard property questionnaire or list of items is available, which means buyers cannot verify the condition of systems, any known defects, or what fixtures and fittings are included in the sale.
- The plot size of 101 square meters is relatively modest for a 130 square meter home, offering limited private outdoor space beyond the terrace and a small front garden.
- The main living area is located on the first floor rather than the ground floor, which is typical for Dutch terraced houses but may not suit all preferences, particularly for those with mobility concerns or who prefer ground-floor living.
- The flat roof construction with bituminous covering may require more frequent maintenance and has a potentially shorter lifespan compared to pitched roof alternatives, which could lead to future repair costs.
- As a terraced house, the property shares walls with neighboring homes, which means there is less privacy and potential for noise transmission from adjacent properties.
Description
Maanglans 8 is located in the desirable Nieuwland district of Amersfoort, a neighborhood known for its family-friendly atmosphere and well-planned infrastructure. This terraced house was originally built in 1997 and has recently undergone extensive renovations, making it a property that is ready for immediate occupancy without any additional work required.
The ground floor of the property features a front garden and a designated parking space for one vehicle, providing convenient off-street parking directly at the property. The entrance leads into a hallway where the meter cupboard is situated. Adjacent to the hallway is a modern toilet room fitted with a small sink. A particularly notable feature on this level is the spacious indoor garage, which is equipped with an electric door. This garage offers flexibility and could potentially be converted into a home office or practice space, depending on the needs of the future owner. Also located on the ground floor is a stair cupboard for additional storage and a garden room that can serve as an additional bedroom if desired. This garden room provides direct access to the outdoor terrace, which measures approximately 22 to 24 square meters and faces southwest. The terrace is situated directly by the water, offering pleasant views and a private outdoor space that benefits from afternoon and evening sun.
The first floor contains the main living areas of the home. The landing provides access to a generously proportioned living room that flows seamlessly into an open kitchen. The kitchen is described as being fully equipped with all standard appliances, making it functional for daily use. The open layout of this floor creates a spacious feeling and allows for various furniture arrangements to suit different lifestyles.
The second floor houses the sleeping quarters and bathroom facilities. The landing on this level benefits from natural light through installed light tubes, which also illuminate the bathroom area. There are three well-sized bedrooms on this floor: a master bedroom located at the front of the property and two additional bedrooms situated at the rear. The bathroom has been recently renovated and features an extra-large walk-in shower and a washbasin vanity unit. A separate toilet is located on the landing for added convenience. Additionally, this floor includes a dedicated laundry room and storage space.
In the past year, the current owner has invested significantly in upgrading various aspects of the property. Underfloor heating has been installed throughout all three floors, with individual distribution units on each level allowing for precise temperature control via mobile devices or installed controls. New tile flooring in a herringbone pattern has been laid across all levels, creating a cohesive and modern aesthetic throughout the home. The entire interior has been replastered and repainted, giving the property a fresh and well-maintained appearance. All electrical outlets and data points have been renewed, ensuring modern connectivity standards. The mechanical ventilation system has been replaced with a new unit, and all ventilation ducts have been cleaned. Both toilets and the bathroom have been completely renovated with new fixtures and furniture.
The property has an energy label A rating, indicating excellent energy efficiency. It is fully insulated and uses district heating for both space heating and hot water, which can provide stable and predictable energy costs. The flat roof is covered with bituminous roofing material.
With a living area of 130 square meters and an additional 16 square meters of indoor space in the garage, the property offers ample room for a family. The total volume is 519 cubic meters. The plot measures 101 square meters, which is primarily utilized for the front garden, parking space, and the terrace area at the rear.
The Nieuwland neighborhood is characterized by its family-friendly environment and good amenities. Shopping facilities at De Nieuwe Hof are within close proximity, as are various schools and sports facilities. Public transportation options are readily accessible. For commuters, the location is particularly advantageous, with the A1 and A28 highways reachable within minutes, providing direct connections to Amsterdam and Utrecht.
It should be noted that the current seller has never occupied the property personally, and as a result, no standard property questionnaire or list of items is available. This means that prospective buyers will not have access to the typical information about the property's condition and history that such documents usually provide. The transfer date is to be negotiated.
The property is classified as a terraced house with three living levels, five rooms in total including four potential bedrooms when counting the garden room. There is one full bathroom and two separate toilet facilities. The home is connected to fiber optic internet and features a sliding door leading to the terrace. The garage is classified as both a parking cellar and parking space in the listing details.
