Description
Located in the quiet neighborhood of Het Essenerveld in the Colmschate district of Deventer, this semi-detached house at Stoevenbeld 16 offers a residential setting directly adjacent to water. The property was built in 1992 and occupies a plot of 205 square meters. The house features a total living area of 120 square meters with an additional 16 square meters of indoor space, resulting in a total volume of 485 cubic meters. The asking price is 549,000 euros, which translates to approximately 4,575 euros per square meter of living space.
The ground floor layout begins with an entrance hall that provides access to the meter cupboard, a toilet room with a small sink, and the staircase leading to the first floor. From the hallway, residents enter the L-shaped living room, which is oriented towards the garden. Large windows and a sliding door allow abundant natural light to enter the space and provide direct access to the outdoor area. The living room offers views of the greenery and the water. The layout accommodates both a comfortable seating area and a dining section.
Situated at the front of the house is the open kitchen in a corner configuration. The kitchen is equipped with built-in appliances including a dishwasher, an extractor hood, and a gas cooktop. While cooking, residents have a view of the front garden and can maintain conversation with guests at the dining table.
The first floor contains three bedrooms and a bathroom. The master bedroom is positioned at the rear and offers views over the water. An adjacent bedroom also benefits from this water view. The third bedroom on this floor spans the full width of the house at the front, creating a spacious and bright room. The bathroom was renovated in 2019 and features a generous washbasin cabinet, a fixed storage closet, a design radiator, a walk-in shower with both a rain showerhead and a hand shower, and a second toilet.
The second floor, or attic level, includes a landing with connections for a washing machine and the location of the central heating boiler. The boiler is a Remeha gas-fired combination unit installed in 2024 and owned by the property. Two additional rooms are present on this level, which can serve as bedrooms, a home office, or hobby spaces. The rear room on this floor again provides views of the water and contains a practical loft space for additional storage.
The outdoor area consists of a 95-square-meter backyard measuring 11 meters in depth and 8.65 meters in width. The garden faces southwest, ensuring ample sunlight throughout the afternoon and evening. A terrace is situated directly at the water's edge. The garden is divided into upper and lower sections, creating multiple areas for seating and relaxation. The design of the outdoor space prioritizes privacy. The property also includes a private driveway and an attached stone garage with electrical connections, capable of accommodating one vehicle and providing additional storage.
The property has received several upgrades over the years. The aluminum window frames were fitted with HR++ glass between 2012 and 2020, with the exception of the sliding door. The garage door was replaced in 2020. The facades were cleaned in 2025. Insulation is present in the roof, walls, and floors. The property holds an energy label B.
The Essenerveld neighborhood is known for its family-friendly character. Shopping centers De Flora and De Vijfhoek, offering supermarkets and various shops, are nearby. Childcare facilities, schools, and the train station are within cycling distance. By car, residents have quick access to main roads leading to the center of Deventer or to the A1 highway. For sports and recreation, Sportcentrum De Scheg is easily accessible.
With five bedrooms across three floors, this property offers flexibility for families of different sizes or for those requiring a home office space.
