Description
This property is situated in the desirable Villapark Velserbeek area within the quiet and family friendly neighborhood of Velsen Zuid. The home is a smoke free residence that has been maintained in excellent condition and benefits from full insulation, resulting in an Energy Label A rating that remains valid until August 18, 2035. The building was originally constructed in 1966 and has since been significantly upgraded to meet modern energy efficiency standards.
Approaching the property, visitors are greeted by a generous driveway that provides ample space for up to four vehicles. The entrance leads into an open hallway that features the staircase to the upper floors, the electrical panel with 16 circuit groups, and a guest toilet. A characteristic door opens into the large living room that runs the full depth of the house, allowing natural light to flow through from front to back. The living area includes an attractive open fireplace that serves as a focal point for the room. Located at the front of the ground floor is a separate office space measuring 9 square meters, which benefits from abundant natural light and would be suitable for those who work from home. At the rear of the living room, the garden can be accessed either through the French doors or via an arched doorway that leads through to the kitchen.
The kitchen is exceptionally spacious and features 8 meters of countertop workspace. It is equipped with a six burner stove, a dishwasher, two double refrigerators with freezer compartments, and a separate work island that incorporates a dining table suitable for four people. This layout makes the kitchen both functional for cooking and practical for casual dining or entertaining.
The first floor is accessed via the staircase and features a bright open landing. From this level, three bedrooms can be reached. The largest bedroom measures 15.8 square meters and includes a small walk in closet of 2.2 square meters. The second largest bedroom is 14.5 square meters and has French doors that open onto the large flat roof area, which is tiled and offers the potential to be converted into a terrace or roof garden. The bathroom on this floor is very generous in size and includes a toilet, a large bathtub, a spacious walk in shower, a double vanity unit, and electric underfloor heating.
A staircase from the first floor leads to the second floor. Here, a large landing area provides connections for a washing machine and dryer, which can operate simultaneously as they are connected to separate electrical circuits. The Remeha Calenta 40C combination boiler, installed in 2018, is also located on this floor. Under the sloping roof, there is an enclosed storage space measuring 6.5 square meters. Following the installation of a 5.5 meter dormer window, the attic has been transformed into a sunny bedroom with an area of 32.7 square meters.
The exterior of the property features electrically operated awnings on the front facade and electrically operated screens on the side of the building, providing shade and privacy when desired.
The rear garden is very spacious and includes a seating area. The garden has been designed to allow enjoyment of the sun at various times of the day, as the sunlight moves around a beautiful oak tree, while shade is also readily available. The outdoor lighting is connected to a twilight sensor, providing both safety and ambiance without requiring manual operation. The garden benefits from a semi automatic irrigation system connected to the frost free outdoor tap and is planted with a variety of flowering plants including climbing hydrangeas, rhododendrons, golden chain trees, and cherry blossom trees that contribute to the atmosphere.
A wooden blockhouse in the garden has electricity connected and is well suited for storing and electrically charging bicycles, as well as for storing winter or summer tires, garden furniture, and other items. The spacious garage is freestanding and constructed of stone. It has six solar panels installed on its roof and features electrical connections. The garage includes a pre installed underground connection to the crawl space under the kitchen, a 6 mm2 electrical connection for an electric vehicle charging point on a separate 32 ampere circuit, and an electrically operated garage door.
The property is located on Minister van Houtenlaan, which may appear to be a busy road but according to the listing is actually quite manageable. The nearby BVO Telstar football club causes virtually no disturbance, with the exception of some parking pressure once every two weeks during the football season.
