Spacious Family Home with Rooftop Terrace in Quiet Rijkerswoerd
Key Features
Upsides
- The southwest-facing rooftop terrace provides an additional outdoor space with favorable sun exposure during afternoon and evening hours, offering a private area for relaxation separate from the ground floor garden.
- Twelve owned solar panels are included with the property, which can contribute to lower ongoing energy costs for the new owner compared to homes without photovoltaic systems.
- The recently installed gas combination boiler from 2024 represents a modern and presumably reliable heating system that should require minimal maintenance in the coming years.
- The location in Rijkerswoerd combines proximity to natural areas like Zegebos and Park Lingezegen with convenient access to daily amenities, public transport, and major roads including the A12 and A50 motorways.
- Air conditioning in two bedrooms and roller shutters on all windows provide comfort features that help manage indoor temperatures during warmer summer periods.
Downsides
- The plot size of 106 square meters is relatively modest for a house with 125 square meters of living space, resulting in a limited garden area compared to similar properties in other locations.
- The energy label B, while acceptable, indicates the property is not among the most energy-efficient homes available, and the label validity expires in 2026 which may require reassessment soon after purchase.
- The flat roof construction with bituminous covering may require more frequent maintenance and has a shorter typical lifespan compared to pitched roof alternatives.
- The natural ventilation system mentioned in the features is generally less effective at maintaining air quality and managing humidity compared to mechanical ventilation systems found in more modern constructions.
- The half-open kitchen layout may not suit all preferences, as some buyers specifically seek either fully open-plan living or a completely closed kitchen configuration.
Description
This terraced house is situated in the popular Rijkerswoerd district of Arnhem, offering a residential setting on a quiet side street. Built in 1997, the property presents a practical layout across three living levels with a total living area of approximately 125 square meters. The house is positioned at the edge of the city, providing a balance between urban accessibility and a more tranquil residential environment.
The ground floor features an entrance hall that provides access to the meter cupboard and a toilet room equipped with a small sink. From the hallway, residents enter the bright living room, which benefits from natural light and includes French doors that open directly to the rear garden. The kitchen is arranged in a half-open configuration at the front of the property. It offers a practical setup with adequate workspace and storage options for daily meal preparation.
The first floor contains three bedrooms of good proportions, suitable for use as sleeping quarters, a home office, or a hobby room. These rooms provide flexibility for various household configurations. The bathroom on this level is fully equipped with a shower, a washbasin, a second toilet, and connections for a washing machine and dryer. This arrangement places laundry facilities conveniently on the same floor as the main bedrooms.
A fixed staircase leads to the second floor, where the fourth bedroom is located along with additional storage space in the form of a spacious landing area. From this level, residents can access the rooftop terrace. This outdoor space is positioned facing southwest, which means it receives ample sunlight during the afternoon and evening hours. The terrace offers a degree of privacy and serves as an additional outdoor area separate from the ground-level garden.
The property includes both a front garden and a rear garden. The rear garden features a freestanding wooden storage shed and a back entrance that provides an alternative access route to the property. The total plot measures approximately 106 square meters.
Several practical features have been installed in the home. All windows are fitted with roller shutters, which can provide shade during warm periods and additional security when closed. Two of the bedrooms are equipped with air conditioning units, offering relief during summer months. The property has twelve solar panels that are included in the purchase as owned assets, contributing to reduced energy costs. The heating system consists of a gas-fired combination boiler that was installed in 2024, representing a recent and presumably reliable installation.
The energy performance of the property is rated with label B, valid until September 2026. The building has full insulation according to the listing details. Ventilation is achieved through a natural system rather than mechanical extraction.
Rijkerswoerd is characterized as a family-friendly neighborhood with various amenities located within short distance. Residents have access to supermarkets, schools, childcare facilities, sports clubs, and shops without needing to travel far. The area also offers recreational opportunities, with the Zegebos forest and Park Lingezegen both within walking distance, providing options for walking and outdoor activities.
The location offers good connectivity to the rest of Arnhem and surrounding areas. Public transportation options are available nearby, and the property has convenient access to major roads leading to Arnhem city center as well as the A12 and A50 motorways. This makes commuting to the city or to other towns in the region straightforward. Parking is readily available on the street in front of the property.
The roof construction is a flat roof covered with bituminous roofing material. The building has a volume of 432 cubic meters. External storage space measures 7 square meters, which corresponds to the wooden shed in the garden. The built-in outdoor space, referring to the rooftop terrace, measures 15 square meters.
The property is offered at an asking price of 437,500 euros, which translates to approximately 3,500 euros per square meter of living space. The purchase is subject to buyer's costs, meaning the transfer tax and notary fees are to be paid by the buyer in addition to the purchase price. The property is available and the transfer date can be negotiated. The property is registered at the Land Registry under the designation ARNHEM AE 3702 with full ownership status.
Fiber optic internet connectivity is available at the property, which is relevant for households requiring high-speed internet for work or entertainment purposes. The combination of the quiet residential location, the presence of both a garden and a rooftop terrace, the recent heating installation, and the owned solar panels presents this as a well-equipped family home in an established neighborhood.
