The property is located on Burgemeester Harmen Geerts Reinenstraat and benefits from a position that combines convenient access to urban amenities with a peaceful living environment.
The home was constructed in 1960 and occupies a plot of 331 square meters of freehold land. The total living area measures 91 square meters, distributed across three floors with the addition of a full-height basement. The interior volume of the property is 324 cubic meters. The asking price is set at 325,000 euros, which translates to approximately 3,571 euros per square meter of living space.
The ground floor layout begins with an entrance hall that provides access to the meter cupboard and the staircase leading to the upper levels. A toilet is located on this floor for convenience. Of particular note is the provisions cellar, which offers standing height and valuable additional storage space that extends below the ground level of the residence.
The living room on the ground floor is designed as a through-lounge, meaning it benefits from windows on both the front and rear facades. This configuration allows natural light to enter from multiple directions throughout the day, creating a bright and airy atmosphere in the main living space. Adjacent to the living area is the kitchen, which has been fitted with ample cupboard space to accommodate culinary needs and storage requirements. The kitchen provides direct access to the rear garden, facilitating easy outdoor dining or simply allowing fresh air into the home during warmer months.

Another bedroom includes a built-in closet, adding practical storage within the sleeping quarters. The bathroom on this level is equipped with a shower facility, a toilet, and a washbasin, providing the essential amenities for daily use.
A fixed staircase leads from the first floor to the second floor, where an additional bedroom has been created. This fourth bedroom measures approximately 11 square meters and includes a built-in closet and a skylight window, ensuring natural light reaches this upper level. The landing area on the second floor houses the laundry appliance connections and the central heating boiler, keeping these practical utilities organized in a dedicated space.
The rear garden extends to a depth of 21 meters and has a width of 10 meters. The outdoor space is oriented towards the southeast, which means it receives favorable sunlight during a significant portion of the day. The garden has been designed with privacy as a priority and features two substantial terrace areas. One of these terraces is positioned directly at the water's edge, offering a unique setting for outdoor relaxation.
The garden reaches all the way to the old city moat, and from this vantage point, residents have an unobstructed view of the Steenwijker Toren, a prominent historic landmark in the area. The wooden sheet piling along the water edge is included in the property, which is beneficial for maintenance purposes.
In addition to the main residence, the property includes a detached stone outbuilding that serves as a storage shed. The specifications also mention an attached wooden garage with capacity for one vehicle, and parking is available on the private grounds of the property.
