Spacious Corner Home with Deep Garden and Private Garage in Katwijk

The property is located at Noordwijkerweg 17-B in Katwijk, a village in South Holland. The asking price is 875,000 euros (costs to buyer). The home offers 146 square meters of living space on a plot of 316 square meters. There are four bedrooms spread across three floors. The property has been awarded an A energy label.

The house is situated on a quiet, sought-after street right at the edge of Park Mallegat. This family-friendly neighborhood is within walking distance of schools, shops, a supermarket, and de Roskam. The completely renovated N206 highway is just minutes away, providing quick access to the A44 towards Amsterdam, The Hague, and Rotterdam. By bicycle, residents can take the path along the canal directly to the Boulevard, beach, and dunes.

The most striking feature of this property may well be the impressive garden with its own garage and greenhouse. The garden faces west and spans 160 square meters, measuring 20 meters deep and 8 meters wide. At any time of day, there is a sunny spot to be found. The garden also includes a front garden and side garden. The garage is accessible from the rear via Blekerij street and can accommodate two cars. It has electricity but no insulation. There is a shared area in front of the garage with a right of way. A freestanding wooden storage shed is also present on the property, though it is not insulated.

The property was originally built in 1972 and is classified as a corner house in the townhouse style. It features a gable roof covered with tiles. Over the years, the home has been well maintained and made energy efficient. A hybrid heat pump (Quatt brand) was installed in 2024. The exterior walls have been insulated, and no fewer than 16 solar panels have been installed on the garage roof. The entire property has double glazing. The extension features a sedum roof. Insulation is present on the roof, walls, and floor. Window coverings include shutters and screens.

The front door is located on the side of the house, accessible via the front garden. The spacious entrance hall contains the electrical meter cabinet, a toilet, and a fixed staircase to the upper floors. The generous L-shaped living room features large windows that provide ample natural light throughout the space. During the winter months, residents can enjoy the warmth of the wood-burning fireplace. At the rear of the property is the extension, which includes a sunroom with floor heating and the open kitchen.

The kitchen is equipped with various built-in appliances including an oven with a hide-and-slide door, a five-burner induction cooktop, an extractor hood, a dishwasher, a Quooker instant boiling water tap, and a refrigerator. An infrared panel is installed in the ceiling, providing pleasant warmth from above during colder months.

The fixed staircase leads to the first-floor landing, from which all rooms are accessible. The bathroom is located at the front of the house and features a bathtub, a double vanity, a toilet, and a walk-in shower. Additionally, there are three bedrooms on this floor, with the master bedroom measuring nearly 17 square meters.

The second floor is accessed via a staircase from the first-floor landing. Behind the knee walls, there are connections for a washing machine and dryer. This floor also provides access to a large fourth bedroom with dormer windows, as well as a very spacious storage area for all kinds of belongings.

A water softener system will remain in the property. The paintwork is scheduled to be done in 2025. The preferred handover date is flexible around January 2027, to be agreed upon with the buyer. The property is offered with full ownership of the main plot (316 square meters) and shared ownership (mandelig) of an adjacent 269-square-meter plot.

The property is partially furnished according to the listing specifications. Fiber optic internet is available. Natural ventilation and a chimney flue are present in addition to the modern heating systems.

Heating is provided by both a combination boiler and the heat pump. The Atag gas-fired combination boiler dates from 2020 and is owned by the current owner. Hot water is supplied by both the combination boiler and an electric boiler.

The neighborhood of Katwijk Dorp is known for its village character combined with proximity to the coast. The property sits on Noordwijkerweg, a street that despite being close to the main roads maintains a peaceful residential atmosphere. Park Mallegat adjacent to the property provides green recreational space right at the doorstep. The presence of multiple schools within walking distance makes this location particularly attractive for families with children.

The architectural style of the home reflects its 1970s origins while incorporating modern extensions and improvements. The gable roof gives the house a classic Dutch appearance, while the extension at the rear adds contemporary living space. The side entrance is a practical feature that adds to the corner house character of the property.

The interior layout has been thoughtfully designed to maximize the available 146 square meters of living space. The open plan arrangement of the sunroom and kitchen creates a flowing living area that connects seamlessly with the L-shaped living room. This configuration is ideal for modern family living and entertaining.

The choice of a Quatt hybrid heat pump installed in 2024 represents a significant investment in energy efficiency. This system works in conjunction with the existing Atag combination boiler to provide heating in the most energy-efficient manner possible. The 16 solar panels on the garage roof contribute to reducing electricity costs, potentially to near zero during sunny months.

The west-facing garden orientation is considered desirable in the Netherlands as it allows residents to enjoy afternoon and evening sun, which is particularly pleasant during the summer months. The 20-meter depth of the garden provides ample space for various uses, whether gardening, outdoor dining, or children's play areas. The presence of a greenhouse indicates the current owners have utilized the garden for growing plants or vegetables.

The garage facility is a valuable asset in a village like Katwijk where parking can sometimes be challenging. The ability to park two cars off-street, combined with the garage's direct access via Blekerij street, offers convenience and security. The electrical connection in the garage means it can serve as a workshop or hobby space in addition to vehicle storage.

The property's storage capacity extends beyond the garage to include the second-floor storage room behind the knee walls. This additional space is often lacking in similarly sized homes and adds practical value to the property.

The bathroom configuration with both a bathtub and a walk-in shower provides flexibility for different preferences and needs. The double vanity adds convenience for shared use. Having the bathroom on the first floor rather than the ground floor is typical for Dutch homes of this era and works well with the bedroom layout.

The planned paintwork for 2025 indicates the current owners are maintaining the property proactively. The flexible handover date around January 2027 suggests this may be an estate sale, relocation, or a property being sold as part of a longer-term plan.
