Description
This property is located at Molenstraat 16 in the village of Amerongen, situated in the province of Utrecht. The home forms part of a larger redevelopment project that transformed a former residential and commercial building into a modern apartment complex alongside two separate dwellings. The original structure at Utrechtsestraatweg 1 and Molenstraat 2 through 16 has been carefully redeveloped while preserving much of the existing architectural framework. The design approach focused on creating an environment with abundant natural light, generous spatial proportions, and an overall pleasant living experience for future residents.
The property at Molenstraat 16 is a corner house that has been thoroughly renovated to meet contemporary standards of energy efficiency and comfort. According to the listing details, the renovation was completed with attention to sustainability, resulting in an A+++ energy label. This highest possible energy rating indicates exceptional insulation and minimal energy consumption. The home features comprehensive insulation throughout, including roof insulation, wall insulation, floor insulation, and triple glazing in all windows fitted with modern plastic frames.
Upon entering the property through the side facade, residents are welcomed into a practical and well-organized hallway. This entrance area includes a toilet room with a small sink, the electrical meter cupboard, and provides access to the main living areas. The ground floor accommodates the living room, which has been designed with an open feel and benefits from the half-open kitchen configuration. The kitchen is fully equipped with quality appliances from Inventum, all carrying a five-year warranty. The appliance package includes an oven, an induction cooktop with integrated extraction system, a refrigerator, and a dishwasher. This setup allows for convenient meal preparation while maintaining social interaction with family or guests in the living area.
The first floor of the home contains the sleeping quarters and the main bathroom. The landing provides access to two well-proportioned bedrooms that offer comfortable spaces for rest and privacy. The bathroom on this level has been finished to a modern standard and features a double vanity unit, a walk-in shower, and a second toilet. This layout ensures that the bathroom functions as a complete wellness space without the need to access separate facilities for basic needs.
A fixed staircase leads from the first floor to the second level, which currently serves as an attic space or third bedroom. This area features a skylight that brings natural light into the space, and it also houses the central heating boiler and the mechanical ventilation unit. The listing notes that there is an existing permit for the installation of a dormer window on this floor. Adding this dormer would significantly increase the usable floor space and improve the amount of daylight entering this level, making it even more suitable as a full bedroom or a home office.
Throughout the entire property, floor heating has been installed and can be controlled independently for each room. This system provides consistent warmth and eliminates the need for radiators, contributing to both comfort and interior design flexibility. The walls and ceilings have been finished with smooth surfaces, and the floors are covered with quality PVC flooring that combines durability with an attractive appearance.
The exterior of the property includes a front garden and a side garden measuring 28 square meters. The side garden has dimensions of 8.5 meters in depth and 3.3 meters in width. The outdoor space is oriented toward the northeast, which means it receives morning sun. The listing mentions that it is possible to park a car on the property, and there is also public parking available in the vicinity.
Amerongen is a village with a rich history, located on the Utrechtse Heuvelrug ridge. The village is positioned between the extensive forests of the region and the Rhine river with its floodplains. This geographic setting provides residents with immediate access to diverse natural landscapes, including woodlands, heathlands, and river views. The Amerongse Berg, one of the highest points of the Utrechtse Heuvelrug, offers elevated views and varied terrain for outdoor activities.
The historic center of Amerongen features narrow streets lined with traditional farmhouses and monumental buildings. The village has a cultural heritage connected to tobacco cultivation, and this history is reflected in various aspects of the local architecture and community identity. Castle Amerongen, a well-known landmark, is open to visitors for most of the year and features meticulously maintained gardens.
For daily needs, Amerongen offers a range of facilities including multiple primary schools, sports clubs, and shops selling everyday necessities. The village also has restaurants, galleries, and specialty shops that contribute to its character as a picturesque and livable community. The Allemanswaard area provides additional recreational and amenity options.
Transport connections from Amerongen are favorable given its central location in the Netherlands. The village is situated near major roads leading to Utrecht and Arnhem, making it accessible for commuters. Public transportation options are also available for those who prefer not to drive.
The property is offered at a price of 450,000 euros, which is calculated at approximately 4,455 euros per square meter of living space. The living area measures 101 square meters, and the total plot size is 95 square meters. The building has a volume of 375 cubic meters and features a gabled roof covered with tiles. The cadastral designation is AMERONGEN D 6929, and the property is offered with full ownership rights. The transfer is to be negotiated, and the property is currently available on the market.
It should be noted that the listing contains some apparent inconsistencies regarding dates. The construction year is listed as 1960, but the renovation is described as having taken place in 2026, which is a future date at the time of this writing. The central heating boiler is also listed as being from 2026. These date references may contain errors in the original listing and should be verified with the selling agent for accuracy.
