Description
The property at Moerhoek 13 is a newly constructed semi-detached home located in a developing residential area in Boskoop. The house is scheduled for completion in 2025 or 2026 and is currently in the final construction phase. With approximately 165 square meters of living space, a 19 square meter garage, and a private parking area, this property offers ample room for various household compositions.
The home is situated in a new, green, and peaceful neighborhood that appeals to young couples, families with children, as well as older residents. The center of Boskoop, the NS railway station, and several schools are all within walking distance. The location also provides convenient access to major highways connecting to cities such as Leiden, Amsterdam, The Hague, and Utrecht.
One notable aspect of this property is that it is being sold without a kitchen and without completed sanitary and tile work. This arrangement allows buyers to personalize these essential spaces according to their own preferences and requirements. However, the listing notes that in consultation with the builder, it is possible to have sanitary fixtures installed before completion if desired.
Upon entering the home through the hallway, residents will find the electrical meter cabinet, a space for a toilet with a small sink, and the staircase leading to the first floor. The living room and kitchen area spans more than 11 meters in length, creating a generous open space. Buyers have the flexibility to position the kitchen at the front of the house, creating a garden-facing living room, or alternatively place the kitchen at the rear to create a large eat-in kitchen with space for a sizeable dining table. Sliding doors provide direct access to the backyard from this main living area.
The ground floor also includes a bedroom and a bathroom, making the property suitable for lifetime or single-level living. This configuration is particularly appealing for those who may wish to avoid stairs in the future or who currently need accessible ground floor accommodations. The ground floor bedroom also provides access to the garden.
Ascending the fixed staircase to the first floor, two additional bedrooms can be realized along with an extra bathroom. Alternatively, this upper bathroom space could be configured as a laundry and storage room with a separate toilet, depending on the buyer's preferences. The attic space is accessible via a loft ladder and provides additional storage capacity.
The backyard is described as being sufficiently wide and deep to offer both sunny and shaded areas throughout the day, despite its northern orientation. The garden can be reached from both the main living area and the ground floor bedroom.
Parking is available on the property itself, positioned in front of the garage. The garage is a brick construction attached to the main house and features an electric door, electrical connections, and heating. Within the garage, the heat pump and heat recovery ventilation system are installed.
The property boasts an impressive array of sustainable and energy-efficient features. It has been awarded an A+++ energy label, indicating optimal energy performance. The home is equipped with plastic window frames fitted with HR++ glass, full insulation throughout including roof, walls, and floor, ten solar panels, a heat pump system capable of both heating and cooling, a heat recovery ventilation installation, and underfloor heating on all levels including the garage.
The roof is a gable roof covered with tiles, which is a traditional and durable roofing solution common in Dutch residential construction. The property is designated as fully accessible for people with disabilities and elderly residents.
The asking price is set at 775,000 euros, which translates to approximately 4,697 euros per square meter of living space. The property is offered with a cost-buyer arrangement, meaning the buyer is responsible for transfer taxes and notary fees. The cadastral designation identifies the property as ALPHEN AAN DEN RIJN A 5924, with full ownership rights. The plot size of 293 square meters is an approximation that will be confirmed through official surveying.
The listing includes multiple floor plan options to illustrate the various layout possibilities for the interior. These plans are described as indicative rather than definitive. The property measurements have been taken according to the industry-standard measurement instruction based on the NEN2580 standard, which provides a more uniform method of measuring to give an indication of usable surface area. However, the listing notes that this measurement method does not completely eliminate differences in measurement outcomes due to interpretation differences, rounding, or limitations during the measurement process.
The construction quality appears to align with current Dutch building regulations and contemporary expectations for new residential properties. The inclusion of underfloor heating throughout, including in the garage, suggests attention to comfort and practical use of space. The heat pump system provides both heating and cooling capabilities, which can contribute to year-round comfort while maintaining low energy consumption.
The presence of a heat recovery ventilation system indicates a focus on indoor air quality and energy efficiency. This type of system recovers heat from outgoing stale air and uses it to warm incoming fresh air, reducing the energy required to maintain comfortable temperatures while ensuring continuous ventilation.
The ten solar panels will contribute to reducing electricity costs and the property's overall environmental footprint. Combined with the high level of insulation and efficient heating system, these features position the home as a low-energy residence with minimal ongoing utility expenses relative to its size.
The garage space of 19 square meters provides room for one vehicle along with additional storage or workspace. The inclusion of heating in the garage extends its usability and may accommodate hobby activities or additional storage needs that require climate control.
The property's accessibility features make it suitable for residents with mobility considerations. The ground floor configuration with a bedroom and bathroom eliminates the need to navigate stairs for essential daily activities. This design element adds long-term value as it accommodates aging in place without requiring significant modifications.
The neighborhood context of a new, green, and quiet residential area suggests a planned development with attention to landscaping and community design. Such developments typically include pedestrian-friendly infrastructure and may offer shared green spaces or other community amenities.
The proximity to Boskoop's town center provides access to local shopping, dining, and services. Boskoop is known for its horticultural heritage and maintains a characteristic Dutch village atmosphere while being connected to larger urban centers through the railway network and road infrastructure.
The ability to reach major cities like Leiden, Amsterdam, The Hague, and Utrecht through nearby highway connections positions this location as potentially suitable for commuters who prefer to live in a smaller community while working in urban environments.
The customization aspect of the kitchen and sanitary installations represents both an opportunity and a consideration for potential buyers. While it allows for personalization, it also requires buyers to engage with the process of selecting and installing these elements, either independently or through coordination with the builder. The timeline implications and additional costs associated with this customization should be factored into purchase considerations.
The northern orientation of the backyard means that direct sunlight in the garden will be limited compared to south-facing alternatives. However, the listing notes that the garden dimensions are sufficient to provide both sunny and shaded areas, suggesting that the space has been designed to maximize available light despite its orientation.
