Description
This linked single-family residence is situated in the Spikvoorde neighborhood, which is part of the Vijfhoek district on the eastern side of Deventer. The property was constructed in 2008 and has been meticulously maintained by its current owners. One of the most distinctive features of this home is its waterfront location, with a south-facing terrace overlooking a natural waterway where swans occasionally swim by and reeds sway gently in the breeze. The rear of the property faces onto open green space, providing an unobstructed view that contributes to a sense of tranquility and connection with nature.
The architectural design of the house is characterized by modern wooden cladding on the facade, which gives the property a contemporary and welcoming appearance. The exterior painting was professionally completed in April 2026, ensuring that the home presents itself in excellent condition. The property sits on a plot of 192 square meters and offers a total living area of 161 square meters distributed across three floors, resulting in a total volume of 659 cubic meters.
Upon entering the home, the entrance hall provides access to the ground floor facilities and features underfloor heating, which adds to the comfort during colder months. The ground floor comprises a guest toilet, the entrance hall, and access to the attached garage. The garage is constructed from wood and provides space for one vehicle. It is equipped with electrical connections and a dedicated water tap, which proves practical for various purposes such as washing the car or watering the garden. There is also a private driveway with an electric vehicle charging point, eliminating the need to rely on public charging facilities.
The main living floor is positioned on the first level and spans the full width of the house. The living room seamlessly connects to the south-facing terrace through large glass doors, creating a smooth transition between indoor and outdoor living spaces. The terrace is covered by a substantial canopy that allows for comfortable use of the outdoor space almost year-round. The canopy is equipped with heaters, making it possible to sit outside even during cooler evenings. Multiple electrical outlets are installed on the terrace, supporting various uses such as outdoor work or hosting gatherings during long summer evenings. An outdoor tap provides additional convenience for gardening or cleaning purposes.
The kitchen is located at the front of the house and offers generous countertop and storage space, comfortably accommodating large dining tables for family meals or social gatherings with friends. The kitchen is equipped with underfloor heating and is connected to the central heating system powered by an Intergas combination boiler from 2008, which heats both the space and the domestic hot water. The kitchen layout allows for multiple people to cook simultaneously without feeling cramped.
The second floor houses the sleeping quarters and the primary bathroom. The property contains four bedrooms, providing ample space for a family or for those who require additional rooms for purposes such as a home office, hobby room, or guest accommodation. The bedrooms are distributed across the upper floors, ensuring privacy for all household members.
The bathroom has been designed as a personal wellness space and features high-end fixtures that were recently renovated. The centerpiece is an extra-deep jacuzzi bath equipped with bubbles, jets, and integrated lighting, creating a spa-like experience at home. Additionally, there is a steam shower cabin installed, which offers therapeutic benefits and contributes to a luxurious bathing experience. The bathroom further includes a heated mirror, which prevents condensation and provides clarity during grooming routines. The washbasin furniture, faucets, and glass shower door have all been recently replaced, giving the bathroom a fresh and modern appearance. A separate toilet is available on the ground floor, which is practical for guests and prevents congestion during morning routines.
A dedicated laundry room is present in the house, which separates the washing and drying activities from living and sleeping areas, contributing to better organization and household management. This feature is particularly valued by families with children or those who engage in regular laundering.
The property has been built to high standards of energy efficiency. It holds an A energy label, which is a significant achievement for a residential property. The house is fully insulated, including double-glazed windows throughout. Twelve solar panels have been installed on the roof, contributing to reduced electricity costs and a smaller environmental footprint. The combination of comprehensive insulation, modern glazing, and renewable energy generation results in relatively low energy consumption, which is beneficial both financially and environmentally. The solar panel installation adds value to the property by reducing ongoing utility expenses.
The garden is positioned behind the house and spans approximately 46 square meters, measuring 5.98 meters in depth and 9.43 meters in width. The garden faces southwest, ensuring maximum exposure to sunlight throughout the day. The garden is accessible via a rear entrance, which provides practical access for bringing in garden furniture, bicycles, or other equipment without having to pass through the interior of the home. The front garden adds additional green space and contributes to the overall curb appeal of the property.
The neighborhood of Spikvoorde offers a balanced combination of residential tranquility and accessibility to urban amenities. The Oerdijk green area is located at the end of the street, offering extensive walking trails through meadows, along waterways, and through woodland areas. This natural environment is ideal for walking, running, or exercising dogs, providing direct access to recreational outdoor activities without the need to travel. Despite this proximity to nature, the city center of Deventer remains conveniently accessible, ensuring that shopping, dining, cultural attractions, and employment opportunities are within reasonable reach.
The property is connected to the municipal fiber optic network, ensuring high-speed internet connectivity suitable for remote work, streaming, and other digital needs. Mechanical ventilation systems are in place to maintain healthy indoor air quality, and external sun protection is installed on the sunny side of the house to help regulate indoor temperatures during hot periods.
The property falls under the ownership type of full ownership (volle eigendom), and the cadastral reference is DEVENTER K 3089. There are no apparent encumbrances or restrictions affecting the property based on the provided information. The asking price is 610,000 euros (buyer's costs excluded), which translates to approximately 3,789 euros per square meter of living space. Acceptance of the property is subject to mutual agreement, and the transfer date can be arranged in consultation between buyer and seller.
In summary, this linked house offers a compelling combination of waterfront living, high-quality interior finishes including a wellness bathroom, excellent energy performance, and a convenient location that balances natural surroundings with urban accessibility.
