Modern Terraced House with 5 Bedrooms in Schoenmakershoek

This modern terraced house is situated in the popular residential area of Schoenmakershoek in Etten-Leur. The property was built in 2012 and offers a generous living space of 117 square meters spread across three floors. The house features five bedrooms in total, with three located on the first floor and two on the second floor, making it particularly suitable for families looking for ample sleeping accommodation.

The ground floor layout begins with a spacious hallway that provides access to the meter cupboard, the staircase leading to the first floor, a toilet room, and the main living area. The living room is oriented towards the garden and includes a built-in storage closet. Through a sliding patio door, residents can directly access the outdoor space. This storage closet houses the heat pump installation, which serves as the primary heating system for the property.

The open kitchen is positioned at the front of the house and has been fitted with a modern corner arrangement. The kitchen comes equipped with a comprehensive set of appliances including a dishwasher, induction hob, extractor hood, refrigerator, freezer, oven, and microwave. This setup provides everything needed for daily meal preparation and entertaining.

The fully enclosed rear garden faces south, which is considered a favorable orientation in the Netherlands as it allows for maximum sunlight exposure throughout the day. The garden has been designed with low maintenance in mind, featuring decorative paving. A covered canopy area provides a sheltered spot for outdoor seating. Additionally, the garden includes a rear access path and gives entry to a freestanding wooden storage shed for garden equipment and bicycles.

On the first floor, the landing provides access to three bedrooms and the bathroom. The bathroom is fitted with a window for natural ventilation and includes a shower, a second toilet, and a washbasin. A fixed staircase leads from the first floor landing to the second floor.

The second floor features a landing area that gives access to two additional bedrooms and a dedicated laundry room. The laundry room contains the mechanical ventilation unit, ensuring proper air circulation throughout the upper levels of the property.

The property benefits from several energy-efficient features. It holds an A+ energy label, which indicates above-average energy performance. The windows are fitted with HR++ double glazing, and the entire building has full insulation. Underfloor heating has been installed on all floors, providing even heat distribution throughout the property. The heating and hot water are supplied by a heat pump system, with hot water provided by an electric boiler.

Parking is available on the public road in front of the property, which is typical for this type of residential development.

The house is being sold under the KoopGarant scheme, which is a purchase model designed to make homeownership more accessible. Under this arrangement, the property has been valued at a market price of 480,000 euros but is being offered at a 25 percent discount, resulting in a purchase price of 360,000 euros. The asking price is fixed and not open to negotiation.

An important aspect of the KoopGarant scheme is the buyback obligation. When the owner decides to sell the property in the future, they are required to offer it back to the original seller. Conversely, the original seller is obligated to repurchase the property within three months of receiving a request from the owner. Any profit or loss resulting from the sale is divided between the parties according to a predetermined formula. However, any increase in value resulting from improvements made by the owner remains entirely with the owner.

To facilitate this arrangement, the property is sold under a leasehold structure. The ground lease canon has been perpetually paid off, meaning the owner will never receive a ground lease invoice. The owner retains full use and control of the property and may make modifications, provided these are structurally assessed and any required permits are obtained.

The sale is conducted through a lottery system rather than a traditional bidding process. Prospective buyers must attend an open house viewing to be eligible to participate in the lottery. The viewing is scheduled for April 9, 2026, and it is not possible to view the property at any other time. After attending the viewing, participants receive a link to register for the lottery. Registration closes on April 13, 2026 at noon, and the lottery results will be announced by April 16, 2026.

There is an income restriction for potential buyers. The maximum gross annual income for applicants is set at 85,000 euros, and this limit is strictly enforced without exceptions. Applicants must provide an income statement from the tax authorities to verify their eligibility.

The property must be purchased for owner occupation, meaning the buyer is required to live in the house themselves. The housing corporation will not sell to investors or individuals who own multiple properties. A structural inspection report is available and will be shared with open house visitors.

Priority in the lottery is given to current tenants of social rental housing from Alwel in Etten-Leur, subject to certain conditions. These conditions include that the tenant currently rents a social rental property with a rent of 932.93 euros or less, does not have a temporary rental contract, and has no history of subletting or nuisance complaints. If no eligible Alwel tenant from Etten-Leur participates or is found suitable, the priority extends to Alwel social rental tenants from other municipalities, then other Alwel tenants, and finally to all other candidates.

The property transfer will take place through the designated notary office E&L notarissen in Etten-Leur, and the sale conditions of the housing corporation Alwel apply to this transaction.
