Spacious Corner House with Double Garage and Large Plot in Lisse
Key Features
Upsides
- The property features a very large plot of 301 m² with a double garage, offering ample space for parking, hobbies, and outdoor enjoyment.
- It holds Energy Label B and is equipped with 12 solar panels and insulation (roof, wall, floor), ensuring relatively low energy costs for a property of this age.
- The bathroom and exterior paintwork were recently renovated in 2019 and 2024 respectively, meaning these major maintenance tasks have already been addressed.
- The corner location and free position at the rear provide a high degree of privacy and a quiet living environment.
Downsides
- The central heating boiler from 2019 is present but not yet connected to the house (except for the bathroom), requiring significant technical work to make the heating system fully functional.
- The windows are only partially double glazed, which may affect noise insulation and thermal comfort despite the other insulation measures.
- The property is marketed explicitly for handypeople or those willing to renovate, indicating that it is not move-in ready and requires significant investment of time and money.
- Currently, the heating is supplemented by gas heaters, which is a less efficient and less comfortable heating solution compared to a fully operational central heating system.
Description
This property presents a distinctive opportunity for buyers looking to put their own stamp on a home. Situated on the Mesdagstraat in Lisse, this corner house offers a substantial plot of land measuring 301 square meters. The property is specifically marketed towards handy individuals or those willing to undertake renovation projects, referred to in the listing as a project for a handy person. The structural foundation and essential amenities are in place, but the interior requires finishing and modernization to meet contemporary standards.
One of the most compelling features of this residence is the size of the lot. Measuring 301 square meters, the plot is significantly larger than average for a property of this age and type, providing ample outdoor space. The corner location ensures an enhanced degree of privacy, particularly at the rear of the property. The listing highlights a free location at the back, indicating that the immediate surroundings are open and not overlooked by neighboring properties, which contributes to a sense of tranquility and seclusion. This privacy is a rare asset in a residential area and allows for a very private outdoor living experience.
Accommodation within the house is currently configured with a generous living room and four bedrooms. The total living area spans 131 square meters, spread over three floors. The volume of the house is 551 cubic meters, suggesting good ceiling height and a spacious feel. The layout is described as practical and roomy, offering flexibility for future modifications. The listing suggests that there is potential to expand the number of bedrooms to five by adding an extra dormer window to the roof, a feasible extension given the existing roof structure which already features one dormer. This flexibility makes the house suitable for growing families or those who require a home office.
The property includes a double garage, a valuable asset given the size of the plot. This attached stone garage has the capacity to hold two vehicles, or alternatively, it can serve as a substantial workshop or storage area, catering well to hobbyists or those with significant storage needs. In addition to the garage, there is a detached wooden shed located on the premises, contributing to the overall storage capacity. The garage provides secure parking, a significant advantage in residential neighborhoods where street parking can sometimes be competitive.
Energy efficiency is a notable aspect of this listing. The property holds an energy label B, which is a relatively efficient rating for a home built in 1968. This rating is supported by several upgrades, including the presence of twelve solar panels and comprehensive insulation. The insulation features include roof insulation, wall insulation, floor insulation, and partially double glazed windows. The combination of these elements indicates that previous owners have taken steps to improve the thermal performance of the building envelope, reducing energy consumption and costs for the future occupants. The solar panels contribute to lower energy bills and a more sustainable household.
The bathroom is a specific area of the house that has been updated. It was renovated in 2019 and features modern amenities including a shower, a toilet, and a sink. This recent update means that one of the most critical and expensive rooms in the house is already finished to a good standard. However, the heating system presents a project for the new owners. While a central heating boiler from 2019 is present on the premises, the listing notes that it is not yet connected to the rest of the house. It is currently connected to the bathroom, but the remaining distribution of heating and hot water via this system needs to be completed by the buyer. Until this work is done, the property utilizes gas heaters for warmth in the other parts of the house. This is a crucial technical detail that buyers need to be aware of regarding the immediate move-in condition.
The outdoor spaces are designed to maximize the benefits of the location. The backyard faces southwest, a highly desirable orientation that ensures the garden enjoys sunlight for a large portion of the day. The garden itself measures 127 square meters, with dimensions of 11.5 meters in depth and 11 meters in width. Access to the rear is possible via a back entrance, adding convenience. The front garden also contributes to the curb appeal of this corner property. The external paintwork of the house was refreshed in 2024, meaning the exterior facade looks well maintained and will not require immediate attention, saving the new owner time and expense.
In summary, this house represents a classic fixer upper with a solid underlying structure and excellent potential. The combination of a large plot, a double garage, good energy credentials, and a modern bathroom provides a strong basis for renovation. The task for the new owner will be primarily focused on connecting the central heating system and finishing the interior spaces to their taste, such as creating an open plan kitchen or finishing the bedrooms. Located in a residential neighborhood in Lisse, it offers a balance of privacy and community living. The property is available immediately, subject to agreement on the transfer date, offering a blank canvas for those willing to invest some effort into creating their dream home.
