Extended corner home with surprising space in quiet Stadsveld-Bruggert

This corner residence is situated on Gabriël Metsustraat in the Stadsveld-Noord-Bruggert district of Enschede. The property presents itself as a family home that offers more interior space than initially apparent from the street facade. The extension at the rear of the building has created a connected living area that combines the sitting room, kitchen, and dining space in a practical and open configuration.

The ground floor layout begins with an entrance hall that provides access to the meter cupboard, a separate toilet, and the staircase to the upper levels. Positioned at the front of the property is the sitting area, which benefits from natural light and views of the street. This room is equipped with air conditioning for temperature control during warmer months. From the sitting area, the floor plan flows naturally into the extended section at the rear.

The rear extension has integrated the kitchen and dining area into one cohesive space. The kitchen connects directly to a spacious dining section that can accommodate a large dining table, making it suitable for family meals, homework sessions, or entertaining guests. Behind the kitchen lies a utility room, and beyond that a practical laundry room with connections for a washing machine and dryer. This laundry space can also be accessed directly from the garden, which adds convenience for daily chores. This area serves well for storage of shoes, sports equipment, and other items that are better kept out of sight.

The first floor contains three bedrooms and a bathroom. The landing provides access to all these rooms. At the front of the house is a bedroom of generous proportions that includes a built-in closet for wardrobe storage. At the rear are two additional bedrooms, one of which has access to the flat roof surface. The bathroom on this level is straightforward in its design and includes a shower and a washbasin.

A fixed staircase leads to the second floor, where a dormer window has been installed to bring in additional daylight and increase the usable floor area. On this level there is a fourth bedroom, also featuring a dormer window and air conditioning. The knee wall spaces behind the sloping roof sections provide valuable additional storage areas.

The outdoor space at the rear is a notable feature of this property. The backyard measures 66 square meters with dimensions of 7.30 meters in depth and 5.64 meters in width. The garden faces north and is accessible via a rear path. The depth of the garden creates a sense of spaciousness and offers room for a terrace as well as play areas for children. Adjacent to the garden is an attached stone outbuilding that is equipped with electricity and a water connection, adding functional utility to the outdoor space.

The Gabriël Metsustraat is located in a residential street that primarily sees local traffic, contributing to a quiet living environment. Despite the peaceful setting, the location offers good access to daily amenities. Shops, schools, sports facilities, and public transport connections are available in the surrounding area. The city center of Enschede and the main roads leading out of the city are both within easy reach by car or bicycle. The Stadsveld neighborhood is characterized by its green spaces and family-friendly atmosphere, making it a popular choice among households with children.

The property was built in 1965 and has a total living area of 115 square meters situated on a plot of 165 square meters. The building has a volume of 410 cubic meters and features a gabled roof covered with tiles. The energy label is rated C, which is valid until April 2036. Insulation measures include predominantly double glazing and wall insulation. Heating and hot water are provided by an Atag gas-fired combination boiler that was installed in 2013 under a lease arrangement. The property is connected to a fiber optic cable for internet services.

Parking is available on public roads in the vicinity. The purchase agreement will include an age clause given the construction year of 1965, as well as a clause regarding the possible presence of asbestos, although this has not been specifically confirmed. A security deposit of ten percent of the purchase price or a bank guarantee will be required as part of the transaction. The transfer date is to be agreed upon between the parties.

With four bedrooms, a practical extended ground floor layout, and a generous backyard, this corner property offers a functional living arrangement for families seeking a home in a established and quiet neighborhood of Enschede.
