Description
Welcome to Nachtegaalstraat 32, a property situated in the town of Wijchen that offers a distinct sense of space and comfort from the moment you arrive. This residence is characterized by its strategic corner location, which provides an enhanced level of privacy and allows for an influx of natural light throughout the day. The house underwent a comprehensive modernization process in 2022, ensuring that the new owners can move in without the immediate need for major renovation projects. The layout is designed to accommodate a variety of lifestyles, featuring four bedrooms, a generous living room, and a contemporary kitchen. Additionally, the property includes a practical space in the garden, currently serving as a practice room, which offers significant flexibility for home office use or as a hobby area. For those who prefer traditional vehicle storage, there is even the option to convert this space into a garage.
Living in this home centers around the spacious and light-filled living room. The corner position is a key asset here, introducing an extra window that significantly boosts the daylight entry compared to standard properties. To enhance the atmosphere, an electric fireplace has been installed, providing warmth and a cozy focal point during the colder months. Comfort is further ensured by the presence of floor heating on the ground floor, which creates a pleasant temperature throughout the living areas. The aesthetic is fresh and modern, reflecting the recent upgrades undertaken by the current owners. Practical elements such as shutters on both the front and rear facades contribute to a comfortable indoor climate by keeping the heat out during summer and offering privacy whenever required. These details combine to create a living environment that is both functional and inviting for families or individuals alike.
The kitchen is described as the true heart of the home, a space designed for both cooking and social gatherings. It is equipped with a comprehensive suite of modern built-in appliances, catering to culinary needs of all scales. Specific amenities include a wine cooler and a Quooker tap, adding a touch of luxury and convenience to daily routines. The countertop offers ample workspace, making it suitable for everything from quick breakfast preparations to elaborate dinner parties. Adjacent to the kitchen is a utility room, a highly practical feature that accommodates a washing machine and dryer. This space also provides valuable storage for pantry items and household essentials, helping to keep the main living areas clutter-free and organized. The flow between the kitchen, utility room, and living areas ensures that daily tasks are handled with ease.
Moving to the upper floor, the property offers three well-proportioned bedrooms alongside a modern bathroom. The bathroom is fitted with a walk-in shower, a toilet, and a vanity unit, all finished in a neat and contemporary style. Sleeping comfort is addressed by the inclusion of shutters on the first floor, ensuring bedrooms can be darkened effectively for a good night's rest. The attic level presents a canvas for further personalization. While it is currently not modernized, it holds great potential. It already functions as an additional fourth bedroom, but it could easily be transformed into a dedicated home office or a play area, offering versatility for growing families or those requiring work-from-home solutions. This multi-purpose potential adds significant value to the property, allowing it to adapt to changing needs over time.
The outdoor living experience is anchored by the backyard, which is situated on the east. This orientation guarantees exposure to the sun throughout the day, allowing residents to enjoy breakfast in the morning light or relax in the garden later in the day. The dimensions of the garden are substantial enough to accommodate amenities such as a trampoline, a lounge set, or a large dining table. A back entrance provides easy access for bicycles, adding to the convenience of daily life. The layout of the house ensures that the sun reaches the garden for an extended period, often lingering into the evening, which maximizes the usability of the outdoor space. The garden provides a private retreat for relaxation or entertainment, fully enclosed to ensure safety and privacy.
For those who work from home or require additional space, the practice room located at the bottom of the garden is a significant feature. It is finished to a high standard and includes floor heating, making it a comfortable environment year-round. This separation from the main house allows for a clear distinction between work and personal life. If a garage is preferred over a practice space, the layout allows for this conversion, offering the buyer a choice in how to utilize this asset. Parking is straightforward with available space in the private front garden, eliminating the stress of searching for a street spot. There is also additional parking available at the rear of the property, providing multiple options for vehicle storage.
Sustainability and comfort are key themes in the property's infrastructure. The roof is fitted with 16 solar panels, contributing to energy efficiency and future-proofing the home against rising energy costs. The property holds an energy label C, supported by full double glazing and HR glass. While there is still room for improvement regarding wall and floor insulation, the current setup ensures relatively low energy costs. A relatively new central heating boiler, the Atag i28EC ONE from 2019, and the partial floor heating system further enhance the living comfort. These features indicate a property that has been well-maintained and updated with modern standards in mind, yet retains potential for further optimization for those seeking maximum efficiency.
The location on Nachtegaalstraat 32 offers a relaxed living environment while maintaining excellent connectivity. Daily amenities such as schools, shops, and public transport links are within walking distance, reducing the reliance on cars for everyday errands. The vibrant center of Wijchen, with its array of shops, restaurants, and terraces, is easily accessible by bicycle. The area also boasts sports facilities and parks, encouraging an active and healthy lifestyle. The house is situated on a quiet road, resulting in minimal traffic, which creates a safe environment for children to play outside. For commuters, the location is strategic, with quick access to highways leading to Nijmegen and Arnhem. In summary, this property on Nachtegaalstraat 32 presents a ready-to-live-in opportunity with ample space, modern amenities, and various possibilities for future customization.
