Spacious 1930s family home with four bedrooms in green Vogelbuurt

This charming terraced house is situated at Ooievaarstraat 137 in Den Helder, within the green and child-friendly Vogelbuurt neighborhood. Built in 1933, this spacious family home offers a living area of 127 square meters spread across three floors, making it an ideal choice for families seeking generous living space in a quiet residential area.

Upon entering the property, you are welcomed into a hallway that provides access to the ground floor living areas. The ground floor features a sfeervolle woonkamer, or charming living room, which is highlighted by an erker (bay window) that floods the space with natural light. The living room also offers double doors that open directly onto the back garden, creating a seamless indoor outdoor living experience during warmer months. The kitchen is generously sized and positioned partly in an extension to the original structure. It comes equipped with modern appliances including a vaatwasser (dishwasher), gaskomfoor (gas stove), oven, and koelkast (refrigerator). Adjacent to the kitchen, you will find a practical bijkeuken (utility room) that offers flexibility for various uses such as a home office, study, or even an additional bedroom on the ground floor, depending on your needs and preferences.

The first floor houses two spacious bedrooms, with the property originally having three bedrooms on this level. One of the bedrooms features a royale walk-in closet, providing ample storage space for clothing and personal belongings. This floor also contains the bathroom, which is equipped with a douchehoek (shower corner), wastafelmeubel (vanity unit with sink), and a second toilet. The layout on this floor has been thoughtfully designed to accommodate the needs of a growing family.

A fixed staircase leads to the second floor, which has been transformed into a versatile living space thanks to the installation of two large dakkapellen (dormer windows) in 2022. These dormers are located at both the front and rear of the property, flooding the upstairs rooms with natural light. The second floor features a zeer royale overloop (very generous landing) with substantial storage space and two additional bedrooms. This floor provides excellent flexibility for families with older children, guests, or those who require a home office setup.

The back garden measures approximately 75 square meters, with dimensions of 15 meters deep and 5 meters wide. The garden is described as underhoudsvriendelijk (low maintenance), making it practical for busy families. A ruime berging (spacious storage shed) with electricity provides ample space for bicycles, tools, and garden equipment. The garden is accessible via a achterom (back entrance), which is convenient for accessing the property from the rear.

In terms of energy efficiency, the property has an energielabel C rating. The home is equipped with nine zonnepanelen (solar panels) that were installed in 2017, helping to reduce electricity costs and increase sustainability. Heating and hot water are provided by a Intergas Kombi Kompakt HR28 CV-ketel (central heating combi boiler), which has been in use since 2010. The property features dakisolatie (roof insulation), dubbel glas (double glazing), and a na-geïsoleerde vloer (insulated floor using vlokken, or loose fill insulation). These energy improvements contribute to the C energy label and help keep monthly energy costs manageable.

The construction of the property is traditional, with houten vloeren (wooden floors) on all levels. Only the kitchen extension area features a betonvloer (concrete floor). The main roof is covered with pannen (roof tiles), while the extension has bitumineuze dakbedekking (bituminous roofing). The electrical system consists of a groepenkast met automaten (fuse box with circuit breakers) with seven groups plus one additional group dedicated to the solar panel system.

The Ooievaarstraat is located in a quiet part of the Vogelbuurt, which is characterised by its spacious layout and green surroundings. The neighborhood is particularly known for being family-friendly and child-oriented. Within a short distance from the property, you will find several scholen (schools), a kinderopvang (childcare facility), and two supermarkten (supermarkets) for everyday shopping needs. The property is within loopafstand (walking distance) of the vernieuwde stadscentrum (renovated city centre) and het Centraal Station (Central Station), making it well-connected for commuters and those who enjoy city amenities. For leisure activities, residents can take a pleasant walk toward Quelderduijn or the haven Willemsoord (Willemsoord harbor), where you will find a bioscoop (cinema), theater (theater), and various restaurants and cafes.

The property stands on its own grond (ground) as part of a geheel perceel (single plot), meaning there is no leasehold arrangement. The kadastrale gegevens (cadastral data) indicate the property is registered in the municipality of Den Helder, section G, number 335, with a perceeloppervlakte (plot area) of 155 square meters. The totale vloeroppervlakte (total floor area) is 182 square meters, and the woninginhoud (property volume) is 438 cubic meters.

Overall, this property offers a compelling combination of historical character from the 1930s era, modern updates including solar panels and dormer windows, generous living space across three floors, and a convenient location in a green and family-friendly neighborhood within easy reach of Den Helder city center and railway station.
