Semi-Detached Home with Garage and Renovation Potential in Zeeland

Molenstraat 53 in Zeeland presents an opportunity for buyers looking for a property with renovation potential. This semi-detached house, built in 1948, offers a solid foundation for those willing to invest time and effort into creating their ideal home. The property is situated on a 427 square meter plot and features 84 square meters of living space across multiple levels.

The ground floor layout begins with an entrance hall that provides access to a partially tiled toilet room with a wall-mounted toilet and small sink. The meter cupboard is also located in the hall, along with the staircase leading to the upper floor. From the hall, you enter the L-shaped living room which has a tile floor and a fireplace. The shape of this room allows for flexible arrangement, with space for both a seating area and a dining section. A partly open kitchen adjoins the living area and is fitted with basic fixtures. The kitchen also houses the combination boiler, a Vaillant VHR model installed in 2024, which provides both heating and hot water. From the kitchen, there is access to a full-height cellar, which offers practical storage space without taking up room on the ground floor.

A conservatory is connected to the kitchen, featuring both a sliding patio door and a regular garden door that provide access to the outdoor area. The ground floor has been largely fitted with double glazing, contributing to better insulation compared to the original single-glazed windows.

The first floor contains two bedrooms and a bathroom. The larger bedroom has been fitted with a dormer window, which adds headroom and natural light. The smaller bedroom includes a built-in closet for storage. The bathroom is equipped with a shower, toilet, and washbasin.

From the smaller bedroom, a simple staircase leads to the attic storage space. This area has the benefit of heating, which expands its potential use beyond mere storage. It could serve as a hobby space or additional storage for seasonal items.

The outdoor areas of the property require landscaping work. Both the front and back gardens need to be laid out according to the new owner's preferences. A notable feature is the freestanding garage, which has been constructed with cavity walls. The garage has a steel up-and-over door and two garden doors, making it a versatile space that can be used for parking a vehicle, as a workshop, or for storing materials during renovation work. The garage is equipped with electricity.

Access to the property includes a gate leading to a private driveway with a carport, ensuring covered parking is always available. This eliminates the need to search for on-street parking.

The property has an energy label E rating, which reflects its age and the fact that while some improvements like double glazing have been made, further energy efficiency upgrades would likely be beneficial. The roof is a gable roof covered with tiles, which is typical for homes of this era in the Netherlands.

The total volume of the building is 426 cubic meters. In addition to the 84 square meters of living space, there is 13 square meters of other indoor space (the cellar), 53 square meters of building-related outdoor space (the conservatory), and 49 square meters of external storage (the garage). The back garden measures 169 square meters, with dimensions of 13 meters in depth and 13 meters in width. The garden faces west, which means it receives afternoon and evening sun. The garden is accessible via a rear path.

The location of Molenstraat 53 is in a quiet residential street within a family-friendly neighborhood in Zeeland. Daily amenities such as shops and schools are within walking distance of the property. For those who enjoy nature, the areas of De Maashorst and Herperduin are nearby, offering opportunities for walking, running, and cycling in natural surroundings.

It is important to note that this property is being sold in its current condition. The seller has included specific clauses in the purchase agreement that transfer all risk regarding visible and hidden defects to the buyer. The property is over 75 years old and requires renovation. The seller has never actually used the property and accepts no liability for defects, including those that may result from non-compliance with building regulations, permits, or zoning requirements. The standard consumer protection article 6.3 has been explicitly waived, meaning that if the property does not possess the characteristics necessary for normal use as a residence at the time of transfer, this is entirely at the buyer's risk and expense. Buyers are advised to conduct a thorough structural inspection before committing to the purchase.

The asking price is 449,000 euros, which is buyer's costs (kosten koper), meaning that additional costs such as transfer tax and notary fees will apply on top of this amount. The price per square meter of living space is approximately 5,345 euros. The property is available for viewing, and the exact acceptance date can be negotiated.

This property is registered in the Land Registry under Zeeland H 5014. The ownership situation is full ownership (volle eigendom), meaning there are no leasehold or ground lease obligations attached to the property.

For buyers with vision, practical skills, and the willingness to undertake a renovation project, Molenstraat 53 offers the chance to create a personalized home in a convenient location with good outdoor facilities including garage and carport parking.
