Spacious corner house with sunny garden in Oosseld

Located in the quiet and child friendly neighborhood of Oosseld in Doetinchem, this spacious corner house is now available for sale. Situated on Madeliefstraat, the property offers a comfortable and practical living environment. The home features a sunny backyard facing southeast and provides ample opportunities for starters or families looking to renovate a house to their own liking. The immediate vicinity offers all necessary amenities for daily living, including schools, sports facilities, playgrounds, and shops. The center of Doetinchem is just a few minutes drive away, ensuring that everything you need is within easy reach.

The house is a corner property, which often provides extra light and space. Upon entering the home, you arrive in the hall which provides access to the staircase, the meter cupboard, and a toilet room equipped with a fountain. The hall leads to the spacious and bright living room. Thanks to the large windows on the side and rear of the house, the living room enjoys an abundance of natural daylight. From the living room, you have direct access to the backyard, making the indoor and outdoor spaces seamlessly connect.

At the front of the house is the closed kitchen. The current kitchen setup is simple, offering a new owner the perfect canvas to modernize the space according to their own taste and preferences. This aspect of the home highlights the potential it holds for buyers willing to undertake some cosmetic updates to create their dream home.

The first floor of the property is accessible via the staircase in the hall. The landing provides access to three bedrooms and the bathroom. The bathroom is functional and equipped with a shower, a sink, and a second toilet. This layout makes the house practical for families, as the sanitary facilities are conveniently located on the same floor as the bedrooms.

The second floor, or attic, is reachable via a fixed staircase. This floor currently serves as a storage space and houses the connections for laundry appliances and the central heating boiler. There is significant potential here to create a fourth bedroom if desired. The space is already fitted with a large skylight, ensuring plenty of daylight enters the room, which would make it a comfortable additional sleeping area or a large home office.

The outdoor space of the property is one of its strong features. The backyard is situated on the southeast, meaning you can enjoy the sun for a large part of the day. The garden is deep and wide, covering 105 square meters. There is a detached stone shed on the premises which provides extra storage space for bicycles, garden tools, or other items. A major advantage of this corner house is the wide and deep driveway at the front. This provides ample space to park multiple cars on the property. The listing notes that there is room for up to three cars, a rare luxury in a residential area.

In terms of construction and energy, the home was built in 2008, which means it adheres to relatively modern building standards. It has an energy label A, indicating that the house is energy efficient. The insulation is comprehensive, consisting of roof insulation, wall insulation, floor insulation, and double glazing or HR glass. The heating and hot water are provided by a Remeha gas fired combi boiler from 2009, which is owned by the property.

The purchase process for this property has specific conditions. The seller is Sité Woondiensten, and they have implemented a priority procedure for the first four weeks the house is on the market. During this initial period, only tenants of a rental home will be invited for viewings. After viewing, they can submit an offer subject to specific priority rules. The first priority is given to tenants of Sité Woondiensten who will vacate a rental home. The second priority is for tenants of other housing corporations within the municipality of Doetinchem.

To qualify under these priority rules, candidates must meet several strict criteria. You must live in a rental home yourself and be named on the rental agreement. You must terminate this rental agreement and leave the property vacant. You cannot have a temporary rental contract. You must attend the viewing in person. You cannot participate if there are complaints about nuisance or suspicions of subletting for your current home. Furthermore, you must intend to live in the purchased home yourself. There is a self occupancy clause valid for two years, meaning you cannot sell the property to a third party during that period. Additionally, you must sign a declaration relinquishing your rental contract upon signing the preliminary purchase agreement. Sité Woondiensten retains the right to award the property.

If you do not meet these criteria, you can still register for a viewing. In that case, you will be placed on a waiting list. After the initial four week priority period, or if no suitable candidate is found from the priority groups, viewings will be extended to other interested parties.

The transaction involves standard real estate clauses. A bank guarantee or deposit of 10 percent of the purchase price will be required. The purchase agreement will include an age clause, a two year self occupancy clause, and a clause stating the seller has not personally occupied the property. The agreement is only legally binding once both the buyer and seller have signed the written contract. Verbal agreements or email confirmations are not considered valid.

This property presents a unique opportunity for tenants of housing corporations to step onto the property ladder. With its solid construction, energy efficiency, and spacious layout, it offers a great foundation for family life. The generous parking and sunny garden add significant value to the home. While some modernization may be desired in the kitchen and potentially the attic finish, the structural and technical elements are in good order for a home from 2008. The location in Oosseld provides a balance of a quiet residential atmosphere with the convenience of nearby urban amenities.
