Description
Located on the beloved and tree-lined Nieuwe Nonnendaalseweg in the Nijmegen-West district, this characteristic terraced house dates back to 1935. The property successfully combines the atmosphere of the early twentieth century with modern living comfort. Charming original details have been carefully preserved, including stained glass upper windows, a traditional granito floor, and panel doors, while the home has been updated to meet contemporary standards.
The ground floor welcomes you with a bright entrance hall featuring the original granito flooring. From here, you have access to the staircase, the meter cupboard, a modern toilet room, and a practical storage cellar with a standing height of approximately 1.80 meters. This cellar provides excellent additional storage space for household items.
The living room is a particularly bright through-lounge that receives natural light from both the front and rear of the property. At the front, a comfortable seating area is arranged around a cozy wood-burning stove, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere during the colder months. The rear section offers ample space for a large dining table, making it ideal for family meals or entertaining guests. Full-width sliding doors connect the living area seamlessly with the back garden, extending the living space outdoors during warmer weather.
The semi-open kitchen is situated at the rear of the ground floor and features a clean, modern design. It is equipped with various built-in appliances, including a high-quality gas stove with a large oven. The kitchen also provides direct access to the garden, adding to the convenience of indoor-outdoor living. The entire ground floor is finished with neat, light oak wooden parquet flooring and smooth plastered walls, creating a cohesive and contemporary look.
The first floor is accessed via a fixed staircase and leads to a landing that connects two spacious, bright bedrooms and the bathroom. The master bedroom is generously proportioned and includes built-in wardrobe space and a large window that allows plenty of natural light to enter. The second bedroom is equally bright and can be flexibly used as a bedroom, children's room, or home office, depending on the needs of the occupants.
The bathroom on this floor is fully tiled and modernly appointed. It features a walk-in shower with a glass wall, a second floating toilet, and a modern washbasin with a vanity unit. This configuration ensures that the bathroom meets all practical daily needs while maintaining a clean, stylish appearance.
The second floor is reached via another fixed staircase and offers a surprisingly spacious area under the characteristic roof structure with sturdy wooden beams visible throughout. The landing on this level houses the central heating boiler, an Intergas HR combination boiler from 2017 that is included in the purchase, as well as the laundry connections and clever storage solutions behind the knee walls. Adjacent to this landing is the third bedroom, which benefits from a large dormer window that fills the room with natural light. This space functions perfectly as a full additional bedroom or a quiet home workspace.
The outdoor areas of the property have been thoughtfully designed. At the front, there is a well-maintained garden with a covered bicycle storage area. The deep back garden has a favorable sun position facing southwest. It has been laid out with a terrace, a cozy seating area, neat borders, and green hedges that provide privacy. At the rear of the garden stands a solid, detached stone shed equipped with electricity, ideal for storing bicycles and gardening equipment. A practical back passage provides alternative access to the property.
In terms of sustainability and insulation, the property has been awarded a definitive energy label C, valid until September 2035. The house is well insulated and features roof insulation, intermediate floor insulation, and is nearly fully equipped with HR++ glass. These measures contribute to a comfortable indoor climate and help keep energy costs reasonable for a property of this age.
The location on Nieuwe Nonnendaalseweg offers an excellent balance between tranquility and convenience. The street is characterized by a pleasant, quiet atmosphere with mature trees lining the road. Despite this peaceful setting, the vibrant center of Nijmegen is just a short distance away, as is the Central Station. Various neighborhood shops and cozy dining establishments are within easy reach, making daily life both practical and enjoyable.
The property has a total living area of approximately 107 square meters, with an additional 8 square meters of indoor storage space in the cellar. The external storage in the stone shed measures approximately 4 square meters. The total volume of the house is approximately 404 cubic meters, and the plot covers 130 square meters. The property is registered in the Land Registry under section NEERBOSCH I, number 1381, and is offered in full ownership.
With five rooms in total, including three bedrooms, one bathroom, and a separate toilet, this family home provides a solid foundation for comfortable living. The asking price is 549,000 euros, payable on a cost-buyer basis, which translates to approximately 5,131 euros per square meter of living space. Parking in the area is regulated through a permit system.
The architectural style of the property reflects the building traditions of the 1930s, a period known for solid construction and attention to detail. The pitched roof covered with traditional tiles is typical of this era and contributes to the authentic appearance of the home. The presence of a cellar is also characteristic of homes from this period, providing additional functional space that is often absent in more recently constructed properties.
The neighborhood of Nijmegen-West has developed into a popular residential area that appeals to a wide range of home seekers, from young professionals to families with children. The proximity to the city center means that cultural facilities, shopping areas, and educational institutions are all easily accessible by bicycle or public transport. The nearby Central Station offers excellent connections to other cities in the region, making this location particularly attractive for commuters.
The interior layout of the property demonstrates a thoughtful use of the available space. The through-lounge design on the ground floor maximizes the sense of space and light, while the separation of cooking and living areas in a semi-open configuration offers both connectivity and defined zones. The placement of the bathroom on the first floor, serving the two main bedrooms, follows a practical and conventional arrangement that works well for most households.
The second floor conversion has been executed to make the most of the available volume under the roof. The large dormer window is a significant addition that transforms what might otherwise have been a dark attic space into a bright, usable room. The exposed wooden beams add character and a sense of space to this level, while the storage behind the knee walls ensures that the practical aspects of daily life can be accommodated without compromising the living areas.
The garden design balances aesthetics with practicality. The southwest orientation ensures that the outdoor space receives plenty of sunlight throughout the day, making it a pleasant place to relax or dine outdoors during the warmer months. The combination of a terrace for outdoor furniture, planted borders for visual interest, and hedges for privacy creates a well-rounded outdoor environment. The presence of a back passage is a practical feature that allows access to the garden without having to go through the house, which is particularly useful when carrying gardening supplies or when the shed is used for bicycle storage.
The heating system, with its relatively modern Intergas boiler from 2017, provides reliable and efficient heating and hot water. The combination of this boiler with the improved insulation levels means that the property performs reasonably well in terms of energy efficiency for a home of its age. The wood-burning stove in the living room offers an alternative or supplementary heat source that can create a cozy atmosphere while potentially reducing gas consumption during milder winter days.
This property would be well-suited to buyers who appreciate the character and solid construction of pre-war homes but do not want to compromise on modern comforts. The combination of preserved original details, updated kitchens and bathrooms, improved insulation, and a well-maintained outdoor space means that the new owner can move in without needing to undertake immediate renovation work.
