Well-Maintained Semi-Detached Home with Full-Width Extension in Quiet Olst
Key Features
Upsides
- The full-width rear extension on the ground floor creates significantly more living space than typical for this type of home, enhancing comfort and usability.
- The property benefits from multiple insulation upgrades including roof insulation, double glazing, and wall insulation, resulting in an energy label C rating which is relatively good for a 1957 build.
- The location combines a quiet residential setting with a wide green zone at the front while remaining centrally located in Olst with amenities within reach.
- The home offers three full living levels including a convertible attic bedroom with dormer window, providing flexibility for different household configurations.
- Excellent connectivity to the larger Hanseatic cities of Deventer and Zwolle via car, bicycle, and train, expanding employment and leisure opportunities.
Downsides
- The backyard faces east, meaning it receives less afternoon and evening sunlight compared to south or west-facing gardens.
- With only three bedrooms, one of which is on the attic level, the property may feel limited for larger families needing more full-sized bedrooms.
- Parking is listed as public parking, with only a possibility mentioned for on-site parking, which may not meet the needs of households with multiple vehicles.
- The conversion of the former second bathroom into closet space reduces the flexibility of the first floor layout and may require renovation to restore full bathroom functionality.
- At 181 square meters, the plot size is relatively modest, which limits outdoor space and potential future expansion possibilities.
Description
This semi-detached house is situated in a central yet peaceful location in the village of Olst. The property is located on a street that features a wide green zone at the front, which contributes to a pleasant and open feeling when approaching the home. Olst itself is positioned along the IJssel river and offers residents a combination of tranquility, space, and natural surroundings while still providing convenient access to daily amenities such as shops, schools, and sports facilities.
The house was originally built in 1957 and falls under the category of existing construction. Over the years, the property has been well maintained and features several insulation improvements that have earned it an energy label C rating. These insulation measures include roof insulation, double glazing throughout, and wall insulation. The heating and hot water are provided by an HR gas combi boiler that is owned by the current owner, meaning there are no rental obligations for this system.
One of the notable features of this property is the full-width rear extension that has been added to the ground floor. This extension has significantly increased the living space on the ground level, making the home particularly suitable for those who value comfortable and spacious living arrangements. The total living area measures 100 square meters, with an additional 20 square meters of other indoor space and 6 square meters of external storage.
The ground floor layout begins with an entrance that leads into a hallway. From the hallway, there is access to a cellar closet for storage purposes and a separate toilet room. The living room is both generous in size and naturally bright, offering direct access to the backyard garden. This arrangement creates a seamless indoor-outdoor flow that is practical for everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen is arranged in a practical corner configuration and comes equipped with various built-in appliances for convenient meal preparation. Adjacent to the kitchen is a utility room that houses the connections for a washing machine and dryer. This utility room also provides a second access point to the garden, adding to the practicality of the floor plan.
The first floor is reached via a staircase from the ground floor hallway. The landing on this level provides access to two bedrooms. The bathroom on this floor is fitted with a shower cabin, a toilet, and a vanity unit with sink. An interesting feature of this floor is that the former bathroom space has been converted and is currently being used as practical closet space, which offers additional storage options for the household.
The second floor is accessible via a fixed staircase and consists of an attic level. The front section of this floor serves as a landing area with storage space located behind the knee walls, making efficient use of the available space under the sloping roof. This landing area provides access to a third bedroom that has been created with the addition of a dormer window, which brings in natural light and provides additional headroom and usable floor space.
The outdoor spaces of the property include a front garden, a side garden, and a rear garden. The rear garden measures 56 square meters and has dimensions of approximately 8 meters in depth and 7 meters in width. The garden is oriented towards the east, which means it receives morning and early afternoon sunlight. Access to the rear garden is possible both through the house and via a rear path, offering convenience for various uses including storage access. Additionally, there is a freestanding stone shed or storage building on the property.
The total plot size is 181 square meters. The property has a gable roof covered with traditional tiles. In terms of parking, the listing mentions that there is a possibility for creating a parking space on the property's own grounds, while public parking is also available in the area.
Olst offers a favorable living environment with its proximity to the IJssel river and the associated floodplains, which provide a beautiful setting for walking and cycling trips. The location is well connected to the larger Hanseatic cities of Deventer and Zwolle, both of which are easily accessible by car, bicycle, and train. This makes the property suitable for those who work in these larger urban centers but prefer to live in a smaller, more peaceful community.
The property is offered at an asking price of 365,000 euros, which is calculated at 3,650 euros per square meter of living space. The transfer will take place in consultation with the seller regarding the timing and any specific conditions. The property is currently available on the market. The cadastral designation is OLST B 4660 with full ownership rights.
