Characteristic semi-detached city mansion with home business potential in Arnhem's creative Modekwartier
Key Features
Description
This distinctive semi-detached city mansion, dating back to 1890, is situated in the vibrant heart of Arnhem within the Klarendal-Noord district. With a generous living area of 152 square meters, the property presents a versatile opportunity for both residential and commercial purposes. The location in the Modekwartier, known as the creative fashion district of Arnhem, offers a dynamic environment that is highly sought after. The building is not just a home but a potential business hub, thanks to its specific Centrum-2 zoning designation. This zoning is a significant feature of the property as it permits a wide range of activities including retail, service providers, creative professions, and light hospitality. This flexibility makes the house particularly suitable for entrepreneurs, freelancers, and creative individuals who wish to combine their living space with their workspace. It is equally well-suited for those seeking double occupancy, providing opportunities for rental income or housing extended family members while maintaining privacy.
Upon entering the property on the ground floor, one finds a practical layout that supports its versatile use. The entrance leads to a hall with the meter cupboard and the staircase to the upper levels. Adjacent to this is a spacious multifunctional room, currently utilized as a wardrobe and utility area. This space flows into a connecting hall that provides access to the independent studio. This studio is a self-contained unit featuring its own entrance, a separate toilet area, and a luxurious bathroom. Additionally, the studio benefits from a basement storage room with a ceiling height of 1.93 meters, offering ample extra storage space. The presence of this independent unit with its own facilities makes the property ideal for a home office that requires separation from the living quarters, or for renting out a section of the property to generate additional income.
Moving to the first floor, the living quarters are designed to maximize comfort and light. The landing leads to a corner-setup living kitchen that boasts a beautiful window section, allowing natural light to flood the space. Also located on this floor is a second bathroom, complete with a second toilet, an in-shower, and a washbasin, ensuring convenience for residents and guests alike. The living room is bright and airy, featuring an open staircase that leads up to the sleeping quarters on the second floor. The layout on this level is well-suited for family life or for hosting guests, with the kitchen acting as the heart of the home.
The second floor is dedicated to rest and domestic chores. It comprises three well-proportioned bedrooms, providing ample accommodation for a large family or for use as guest rooms and office space. A separate laundry room is situated here, housing the central heating boiler installation. A fixed staircase on this level provides access to a space where a roof terrace of approximately 21 square meters can be created, offering the potential for an outdoor retreat with views over the city. The property also features a permitted French balcony on the side facade, for which the permit for double doors is already available, further enhancing the outdoor living potential of the home.
The property has undergone and is scheduled for significant maintenance and renovation works to ensure it meets modern standards. The external facades, plasterwork, and masonry joints have been completely renovated in 2025. The roof gutters are also new as of 2025. External painting work and internal stucco work have been addressed in 2025, ensuring a fresh and modern finish throughout. The bituminous roofing was renewed in 2022, and the property is equipped with insulating glazing, roof insulation, and an HR central heating boiler (Atag E323EC from 2013). These updates contribute to the property's energy label D and ensure a comfortable indoor climate.
The Oost-Peterstraat itself is a quiet, car-free street located in a cul-de-sac, providing a peaceful living environment despite its central location. The surrounding area is defined by neighboring characteristic buildings and the lively city center of Arnhem. Residents benefit from having all necessary amenities within walking distance, including a diverse range of shops, hospitality venues, parks, schools, childcare facilities, supermarkets, art galleries, theaters, and cinemas. This combination of tranquility and accessibility is a rare find in a city center location.
A major advantage of this location is the parking situation. Unlike many city center locations, parking here is both free and does not require a permit. Residents can park directly in front of the door or in the surrounding streets without any restrictions or costs. This adds a layer of convenience that is highly valued by urban dwellers. The combination of a historic building with modern renovations, versatile zoning options, and a prime location in the creative heart of Arnhem makes this a unique property on the housing market. Whether for a large family, a working professional, or an investor looking for a property with mixed-use potential, this mansion offers a solid foundation for a comfortable and dynamic lifestyle.
