Key Features
Upsides

- Five bedrooms across three floors offer remarkable flexibility for families, home workers, or those needing guest rooms, allowing the property to adapt to different life stages.

Downsides
- The bathroom is described as only partially modernized, which may require additional investment to fully update to contemporary standards.
- The property was built in 1981, meaning certain elements such as the kitchen and general finishes may feel dated despite being well maintained.
- Heating is provided by a gas fired combination boiler, which does not align with future sustainability goals and potential regulations regarding gas connections.
- At 3,809 euros per square meter, the price point may be considered elevated for a 1981 corner house in this area of Apeldoorn.
- The second floor rooms with skylights may have sloped ceilings that limit usable floor space compared to the main bedrooms on the first floor.
Description
This surprisingly spacious corner residence is situated in the Matenveld neighborhood of Apeldoorn Zuidoost and offers an abundance of living space distributed across three floors. The property occupies a generous plot of 363 square meters and includes an attached stone garage, a private parking space, and a remarkably deep garden that has been professionally designed by a landscape architect.
The outdoor space is one of the most distinctive features of this property. The corner position provides additional privacy and a sense of spaciousness that is immediately noticeable. The garden has been thoughtfully divided into different zones for relaxation, outdoor dining, lounging, and enjoying the sun. A large veranda attached to the house extends the living space outdoors, allowing residents to sit outside sheltered from the elements early in the season while overlooking the greenery and tranquility of the garden. A wooden storage shed is attached to this veranda for practical convenience.
At the rear of the garden stands a modern garden house that has been furnished as an attractive lounge area. This space offers a retreat for reading, enjoying a glass of wine with company, or simply unwinding in the evening sun. The garden also features a lawn, mature plantings, wide terraces, and a secluded position that creates a private green oasis.
The attached stone garage is equipped with an electric vehicle charging point, making it suitable for current and future mobility needs. Beyond parking, this space can serve as a workshop, hobby room, or additional storage. A second parking space is available on the property. The roof features twelve solar panels that were installed in 2023, contributing to reduced energy costs.
The interior of the residence is well maintained and provides a pleasant, light filled foundation. The ground floor immediately impresses with its generous living area. The U shaped kitchen is functionally arranged and offers ample work and storage space. The living room and dining room are connected in an open flow, providing space for a large seating area and a sizeable dining table. Wooden flooring adds warmth and character to the space, while wide windows ensure sunny light intake and pleasant visual connection with the garden.
This ground floor layout accommodates daily life naturally, whether for family breakfasts, children playing, relaxation, homework, working from home, or entertaining friends.
The first floor contains three bedrooms and a partially modernized bathroom. The bathroom includes a bathtub, shower facility, toilet, and a vanity unit. On the second floor, two additional rooms with skylights provide flexibility. These spaces can serve as extra bedrooms, workspaces, guest rooms, teenager rooms, playrooms, or hobby rooms. This five bedroom configuration allows the property to adapt to changing family needs over time.
The location on Markerichtersveld is quiet and family friendly. The neighborhood offers a green residential environment with daily amenities within reach. A supermarket is within walking distance, while the center of Apeldoorn and a train station are accessible by bicycle. Major roads are also quickly reachable.
For families, the area provides schools, sports facilities, playgrounds, and shops. The A1 and A50 highways are easily accessible via the main roads, while Apeldoorn itself offers a lively center, shops, restaurants, cultural venues, parks, forest areas, and a train station with connections to Deventer, Amersfoort, and Zutphen.
Technical details include an energy label B, with roof insulation, HR glazing, and wall insulation. The heating system is a Remeha HR combination boiler from 2020, which is gas fired and owned by the current owner. The property features mechanical ventilation, natural ventilation, and skylights. The roof is a composite structure covered with bituminous roofing and tiles.
The building dates from 1981 and is classified as existing construction. The living area measures 131 square meters, with an additional 19 square meters of other indoor space, 17 square meters of building related outdoor space, and 21 square meters of external storage. The total volume is 508 cubic meters.
The property consists of two cadastral parcels: APELDOORN AC 5012 measuring 197 square meters and APELDOORN AC 8483 measuring 166 square meters, both in full ownership. The rear garden measures 217 square meters with a depth of 14 meters and a width of 15.5 meters, oriented to the southwest and accessible via a rear path.
This corner residence with its garage, sunny garden, veranda, garden house, and considerable privacy represents a home where one can return, live, relax, and enjoy the surrounding space. The asking price is 499,000 euros, buyer costs applicable, which translates to approximately 3,809 euros per square meter of living space. The property is available and acceptance terms are open to negotiation.

Scandinavian

The listing contains no elements suggesting industrial style. No exposed brick, metal accents, or factory-inspired design elements are mentioned.
Mediterranean
The emphasis on outdoor living with a large veranda, multiple terraces, lounge garden house, mature planting, and the garden facing southwest creates a Mediterranean outdoor lifestyle feel.
