Well-Maintained Family Home in Quiet Zutphen Neighborhood

This terraced family home is located on Maarten Harpertszoon Trompstraat in the Zeeheldenbuurt neighborhood of Zutphen. The property has been occupied with care for nearly fifty years by the current owners and is now available for the next generation of residents. The asking price is 289,000 euros buyer's costs.

The ground floor layout begins with an entrance hall that provides access to a toilet, the meter cupboard, a garderobe or coat closet, and a practical storage closet under the stairs. The living room has an L-shaped configuration and benefits from natural light throughout the day. A parquet floor has been installed in this space, which offers ample room for a comfortable seating area, a generous dining table, and additional space that could serve as a work corner or play area for children. From the living room, there is direct access to the backyard through a door.

The kitchen is situated in an extension at the rear of the property. This kitchen is equipped with a gas stove, an extractor hood, an oven, and a double sink. The kitchen also has its own door leading to the garden, which is convenient for outdoor dining or when bringing in groceries. Adjacent to the kitchen is a versatile room that currently serves as a work or study space. This room contains a closet that houses the washing machine and dryer. The space could alternatively function as an atelier, workshop, or home office, depending on the needs of the new owners.

The first floor is accessed via a staircase from the hall. The landing provides access to three bedrooms. Two of these bedrooms feature built-in closets, offering practical storage solutions. The bathroom on this floor is fitted with a shower, a toilet, a washbasin, and a designer radiator. The entire first floor has been finished with marmoleum flooring, which is a durable and easy-to-maintain material.

The second floor consists of a spacious attic storage area that is currently reached via a pull-down ladder (vlizotrap). According to the listing, there is potential to install a permanent staircase and extend the roof to create a full fourth bedroom on this level. This would increase the living space and make the property suitable for larger families.

The property has a total living area of 88 square meters and a volume of 331 cubic meters. The plot covers 150 square meters. In addition to the living space, there is an external storage area of 7 square meters in the form of a stone-built bicycle storage shed that is attached to the property and has electricity.

The backyard faces west, which means it receives afternoon and evening sun. Directly behind the house, there is a sunny terrace. At the rear of the garden, a substantial canopy or pergola has been constructed, providing a sheltered outdoor space where residents can sit comfortably even when weather conditions are less favorable. The backyard measures 90 square meters, with dimensions of 15 meters in depth and 6 meters in width. There is also a front garden and the property has a side entrance (achterom) for convenient access to the rear.

The windows throughout the property are fitted with UPVC frames and double glazing, with the exception of the front door and the window frame in the work room. This contributes to better insulation and reduced maintenance requirements compared to older wooden frames.

The property has an energy label E. Heating and hot water are provided by a gas-fired combi boiler manufactured by Atag, which was installed in 2012 and is owned by the current owners. The property features natural ventilation and TV cable connections.

The house was built in 1960 and is classified as an existing construction terraced single-family home. The roof consists of both a flat section covered with bituminous roofing material and a section with roof tiles.

The Zeeheldenbuurt is a quiet residential neighborhood. At the end of the street, there is a playground, which is convenient for families with young children. The center of the historic city of Zutphen can be reached by bicycle in approximately five minutes. In the immediate vicinity, there are several schools and daily amenities including supermarkets, making this a practical location for everyday living.

Parking is available on the public road in front of the property. The acceptance date and terms are to be discussed with the seller. The property is offered partially furnished, meaning certain items may be included in the sale by agreement.

This home presents itself as a solid option for both families seeking a move-in-ready property in a calm setting and starters looking to enter the housing market in Zutphen. The combination of a practical layout, a sunny garden with a covered seating area, and proximity to amenities and the city center makes this a property with broad appeal.
