Charming energy-efficient terraced home with deep south-facing garden in historic Huizen center

Located in the atmospheric old center of Huizen, this well-maintained and extended terraced house offers a comfortable living environment with a total living area of 126 square meters. The property is situated in the charming old village area, which is known for its historic character and pleasant living atmosphere. Despite its location in the old village, the house was built in 1991, which means residents benefit from modern construction standards while enjoying the authentic surroundings.

The ground floor of the property features a practical entrance hall with a wardrobe, meter cupboard, toilet, and staircase leading to the first floor. The living and dining area is spacious and includes a gas fireplace that adds warmth and ambiance to the room. Under the staircase, there is a practical storage closet for additional space. The open kitchen is arranged in a U-shape at the front of the house and is equipped with various built-in appliances including a four-burner induction cooktop from approximately 2002, an extractor hood, a combination oven and microwave, and a dishwasher from around 2019. The ground floor was extended at the rear in 2005, which significantly increased the living space. Two sets of French doors provide access to the carefully landscaped backyard. An electric awning with the full width of the facade offers shade when desired.

The backyard is a particular feature of this property, as a garden of this depth is considered unique for this location. The garden faces south, ensuring optimal sunlight throughout the day. At the rear of the garden, there is a shed measuring 5.9 square meters and a practical cabinet wall for storage. The garden is accessible via a rear path, which is convenient for various purposes.

The first floor features a landing, a spacious bedroom at the rear with a large walk-in closet, and a good second bedroom at the front measuring approximately 9.5 square meters. The walk-in closet was previously a bedroom and can easily be converted back to create a fourth sleeping or working room. This flexibility makes the property suitable for families or those who require additional workspace at home. The neat bathroom on this floor is equipped with a bathtub, shower, second toilet, and a double washbasin vanity.

The second floor consists of a landing with storage space under the sloping roofs, a central heating boiler closet, a washbasin, and connections for laundry appliances. There is also a bedroom of more than 10 square meters with a skylight.

The property has an energy label A, which contributes to comfortable and energy-efficient living. The entire house has double glazing in wooden frames. The flat roof coverings, including those of the dormer windows, were replaced in 2023 and 2024. All gutters were also renewed during this period. The exterior paintwork appears tight and is professionally maintained. The electrical panel has seven circuit breaker groups, including a double group for induction cooking. The Nefit central heating combi boiler dates from February 2017 and is owned.

The surroundings of the property offer numerous amenities within walking distance. These include shops, the Saturday market, a cinema, library, schools, a health center, sports facilities, dining options, and public transport. The area also provides good access to nature reserves with walking and cycling routes along the water, across the heathland, and through the forests. Free parking is available on the street.

The current sellers have lived in the property with great pleasure for 23 years and are now ready for a next step. They describe the house as lovely, with many birds audible in the garden and enjoyment of the sun, or shade if preferred, including through the relatively new large awning. The interior of the property is neat but somewhat dated, which means the new owner has the opportunity to modernize the space according to their own taste and preferences. The listing includes five impression photos to illustrate how the house could be given a more modern appearance with relatively simple adjustments.

In summary, this property represents a unique opportunity in the old village of Huizen. The house features attractive architecture that fits seamlessly with the charm of the old village, while residents benefit from the comfort of a relatively young and modern home. The foundation is solid and the structural condition is good, providing ample space to further modernize the property according to personal wishes and ideas. The combination of location, garden orientation, energy efficiency, and potential for customization makes this a noteworthy property for those seeking a home in the desirable old center of Huizen.
