Description
This semi-detached residence is located in the village of Oldemarkt, which is part of the municipality of Steenwijkerland in the Netherlands. The property was originally built in 1985 and offers a living area of approximately 125 square meters, situated on a plot measuring 227 square meters. The total volume of the house is 472 cubic meters.
The ground floor of this home features a practical and well-considered layout. Upon entering through the front door, you are welcomed into an entrance hall where the meter cupboard is located. The living room is immediately accessible from this hallway and benefits from abundant natural light thanks to the sliding doors that provide access to the garden. The modern kitchen is integrated into the living area and comes equipped with various appliances. These include a refrigerator, a combination microwave oven, a dishwasher, a Quooker instant boiling water tap, and an induction cooktop with integrated extraction. A utility room (bijkeuken) connects the kitchen area to a storage room, which in turn provides access to the rear garden.
A notable feature of this property is the presence of a bedroom on the ground floor. This room can be reached directly from the living room. Adjacent to this ground floor bedroom is an intermediate hallway that contains a toilet and the staircase leading to the upper floors. The listing mentions that there is a possibility to add a bathroom on this floor as well, which could make the ground floor fully self-contained if desired.
The first floor consists of a landing with access to the stairs continuing to the second floor, three bedrooms, and a bathroom. The bathroom on this level is fitted with a shower corner and a washbasin set in a vanity unit. This arrangement means that currently there is one full bathroom serving the entire household.
The second floor provides an additional landing area and the fifth bedroom. Above this bedroom, in the roof ridge area, there is extra storage space that can be utilized for keeping various items organized and out of sight.
The rear garden is positioned facing southwest, which means it receives ample sunlight during the afternoon and evening hours. The garden measures 68 square meters with dimensions of 8 meters in depth and 8.50 meters in width. The outdoor space includes a freestanding stone storage building, a covered terrace that allows for sitting outside even when weather conditions are less favorable, and a back entrance (achterom) that provides an alternative access route to the property. There is also a front garden at the front of the residence.
In terms of energy efficiency, the property has been assigned energy label B. This rating reflects the various insulation measures that have been implemented over time. The house features roof insulation, double glazing throughout, wall insulation, and floor insulation. Heating and hot water are provided by a gas-fired combination boiler (CV-ketel) manufactured by Intergas, which was installed in 2010 and is owned by the current property owner.
The property is connected to a fiber optic cable network, ensuring fast internet connectivity for residents who require reliable broadband access for work, entertainment, or other purposes.
Parking is available on the property's own terrain as well as in the public area nearby, providing flexibility for residents and their visitors.
