Spacious Family Home with Sunny Southeast Garden and Recent Upgrades in Quiet Location
Key Features
Upsides
- The second floor offers exceptional flexibility with a recently installed large dormer window, providing the potential to create two additional bedrooms and significantly expand the living space according to personal preferences.
- The property features modern plastic window frames with HR++ glazing throughout, which improves energy efficiency, reduces heating costs, and minimizes maintenance requirements compared to older wooden frames.
- The southeast-facing backyard of 64 square meters receives excellent sunlight during morning and early afternoon hours, creating an enjoyable outdoor living space in a favorable orientation.
- The location combines residential tranquility with practical convenience, situated on a street with mainly local traffic while being within easy reach of a metro station, shopping center, schools, playgrounds, and a park.
- The ground floor kitchen comes fully equipped with a comprehensive set of built-in appliances including a combination oven, ceramic hob, dishwasher, boiling water tap, refrigerator, and freezer, eliminating the need for immediate additional kitchen investments.
Downsides
- The bathroom requires repair work due to a leakage issue, and the listing explicitly states that this must be addressed by the buyer, representing an additional cost and renovation project that needs to be factored into the purchase decision.
- The property only offers public on-street parking without a private driveway or garage, which may be inconvenient for households with multiple vehicles or those who prefer dedicated parking close to their home.
- The energy label C rating indicates moderate energy efficiency, suggesting there may be room for further insulation or energy improvement investments to reduce long-term utility costs.
- The property was built in 1981, meaning certain elements may show their age despite recent improvements, and the overall aesthetic and systems may not match the standards of more recently constructed homes.
- The listing contains dates referring to 2026 for various improvements including roof replacement and dormer installation, which creates uncertainty about whether these works have actually been completed or are merely planned.
Description
This spacious family residence is located in the municipality of Spijkenisse and offers a comfortable living environment with various recent improvements. The property is a terraced house built in 1981 and features a total living area of 126 square meters spread across multiple levels. The home presents itself as a solid option for families seeking a property with potential and a convenient location near essential amenities.
The ground floor of the property welcomes residents through an entrance hall that provides access to the meter cupboard and a separate toilet room. The living room is positioned at the rear of the property and benefits from a pleasant amount of natural light. The room features French doors that open directly onto the sunny backyard, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living spaces. This layout is particularly appealing during warmer months when the garden becomes an extension of the living area.
Situated at the front of the property is the kitchen, which has been maintained to a neat standard. The kitchen is equipped with a comprehensive selection of built-in appliances that contribute to everyday convenience. These include a combination oven, ceramic hob, dishwasher, extractor hood, boiling water tap, refrigerator, and freezer. Having all these appliances included means the kitchen is immediately functional and ready for use without additional investment required from the new owner.
The front garden area houses a practical attached stone storage shed. This outbuilding features plastic window frames consistent with the main property and provides useful space for storing garden equipment, bicycles, or other items that benefit from being kept outside the main living quarters.
The first floor of the residence is accessed via a landing that distributes to three bedrooms of generous proportions. The straight walls on this level ensure that the available floor space is utilized efficiently, without the awkward angles that can occur in similar properties. This practical layout makes furniture placement straightforward and maximizes the usable area in each room.
The bathroom on this floor is fitted with a shower, washbasin, and a second toilet. It is important to note that the listing explicitly mentions that repair work is required in this bathroom due to a previous leakage issue. The current owner has indicated that the bathroom needs to be addressed by the purchaser. This is a significant consideration for prospective buyers as it represents an additional cost and project that will need attention shortly after acquisition.
The second floor represents perhaps the most exciting aspect of this property. This level offers a surprisingly spacious open area that can be configured entirely according to the new owner's preferences and requirements. A large dormer window has recently been installed at the rear of this floor, bringing in substantial natural light and creating additional headroom and usable space. According to the listing, this floor presents the opportunity to create two additional bedrooms relatively easily, which would bring the total bedroom count to five. This flexibility makes the property particularly attractive for growing families or those who require home office space alongside living quarters.
The property has received several notable upgrades and improvements. The listing references work completed in 2026, though this date appears to be in the future and may represent planned work or a typographical error in the original listing. These mentioned improvements include a completely new roof, a renewed chimney, the installation of the large dormer window, renewal of the shed roof, and renovation of the shed itself. Regardless of the exact timeline, these elements represent significant value additions to the property.
Throughout the home, plastic window frames have been installed featuring HR++ glazing. This type of double glazing offers improved thermal performance compared to standard double glazing, contributing to better energy efficiency and reduced heating costs. The property currently holds an energy label C rating, which is reasonable for a property of this age and indicates that basic insulation measures are in place including wall insulation and double glazing.
Heating and hot water are provided by a gas-fired combination boiler that is owned rather than rented. This means no ongoing monthly rental costs for the heating system, which is a financial benefit for the owner. The property also features mechanical ventilation, which helps maintain air quality throughout the home.
The outdoor space at this property consists of both a front garden and a rear garden. The rear garden measures 64 square meters and extends to a depth of 11.35 meters with a width of 5.66 meters. The garden is oriented to the southeast, which is considered an advantageous orientation as it captures morning and early afternoon sun, making it a pleasant space to enjoy throughout much of the day. Outdoor sun blinds are fitted to the property, providing shade when needed during warmer periods.
The location of the property offers several practical advantages. The street is described as having primarily destination traffic rather than through traffic, which contributes to a quieter and safer living environment, particularly relevant for families with children. Essential facilities are located within convenient distances, including a metro station, shopping center, schools, play facilities, and a park. These amenities contribute to the overall livability of the location and reduce the need for car journeys for everyday tasks.
Parking at the property is available through public on-street parking rather than a private driveway or garage. This is a common arrangement in residential areas of this type but is worth noting for those who prefer dedicated parking spaces.
The total plot size measures 134 square meters, and the property has a volume of 450 cubic meters. The cadastral designation identifies the property as SPIJKENISSE D 5083 with full ownership status. The asking price is set at 375,000 euros, which is offered as a buyer's cost arrangement meaning the purchaser is responsible for transfer taxes and notary fees associated with the purchase.
This family home presents a balanced combination of existing living space and future potential. The three established bedrooms on the first floor provide immediate accommodation, while the convertible second floor offers room to grow and adapt the property to changing needs over time. The kitchen is fully equipped, the windows are modern and efficient, and the garden orientation is favorable. The bathroom situation does require attention and budget, but this is reflected in the overall pricing and represents an opportunity to create a bathroom exactly to the new owner's taste and specifications. The proximity to public transport, shopping, and recreational facilities adds to the practical appeal of this Spijkenisse residence.
