Description
This property presents a unique opportunity to acquire a home filled with character and space in a highly desirable location near the center of Wijchen. The semi-detached residence, known locally as a 2-onder-1-kapwoning, offers a generous living area of 120 square meters situated on a plot of 225 square meters. Built in 1956, the house has been maintained excellently over the years, resulting in a warm and cared-for appearance that welcomes you the moment you arrive. The location is particularly advantageous for those who appreciate convenience, as daily amenities, shops, dining options, and the NS railway station are all within a short distance, combining a quiet living environment with excellent accessibility.
Upon entering the home, one is immediately struck by the surprising and spacious layout. The ground floor features a light-filled living room that serves as the heart of the home. A distinctive feature of this living area is the large stained-glass windows that not only add character but also provide a pleasant view of the greenery at the front of the property. The flow of the ground floor is practical and sociable. Both the living room and the kitchen provide access to the dining room, creating a cohesive space for family life and entertaining. This atmospheric dining area has ample room for a large dining table where family and friends can comfortably gather. Thanks to the large windows at the rear, the dining room benefits from an abundance of natural light and offers a direct view of the sheltered patio garden, effectively bringing the outdoors in.
The kitchen is described as neat and practically designed, catering well to the needs of a modern household. It provides sufficient workspace and storage options. The kitchen is equipped with various built-in appliances, including a dishwasher for convenience, an induction cooktop for modern cooking needs, an oven for baking and roasting, and a refrigerator. Adjacent to the kitchen is a highly practical utility room, or bijkeuken. This space is perfectly suited for a laundry setup and offers extra storage for supplies. Additionally, the guest toilet is located in the utility room and includes a fountain, making it a fully functional facility for guests. Access to the storage attic is available via a hatch in the utility room, providing a solution for storing items that are not needed on a daily basis.
Moving to the first floor, the property continues to impress with its well-planned accommodation. There are three full-sized bedrooms on this level, each featuring built-in cupboards which assist in keeping the rooms organized and clutter-free. A notable comfort feature on this floor is the air conditioning system, ensuring a pleasant climate during warmer months. The first floor also houses a complete bathroom. The bathroom is fitted with a bathtub for relaxation, a separate shower for quick rinses, and a second toilet, adding to the convenience for the household.
One of the bedrooms on the first floor provides access to the second floor, revealing a significant extension of the living space. The second floor consists of a spacious attic room. Measuring over 20 square meters, this room is very bright due to the presence of a wide dormer window. The size and light make this space incredibly versatile. It is perfectly suited for use as a fourth bedroom, but it could also serve excellently as a hobby room, a dedicated home office, or a guest room for visitors. The flexibility of this space is a major asset of the property.
The exterior of the property is designed for privacy and ease of living. The garden is a patio or atrium style, which means it is sheltered and enclosed. This creates a private oasis where one can enjoy the outdoors in all seasons. The garden is also low maintenance, which is a significant benefit for those who wish to enjoy their outdoor space without the burden of extensive gardening work. Privacy and tranquility are central themes of this outdoor area. The property is further equipped with external sun blinds and shutters, allowing residents to control light and temperature effectively during the summer.
Parking and storage are well catered for with the inclusion of a garage. The garage is a valuable addition to the home, offering more than just a spot to park a car. Due to its generous dimensions and practical layout, it serves as an ideal space for hobbyists or those who enjoy DIY projects. Furthermore, the garage features a storage loft, providing yet more room for storage. This makes the garage a multifunctional asset that enhances the overall utility of the property. The total external storage space amounts to 17 square meters, which is considerable.
From a technical perspective, the home is equipped with gas heating via a combi-boiler, which is owned by the property. The energy label is E. The property has roof insulation and largely double glazing, which contributes to the comfort level. However, prospective buyers should note that an age clause will be included in the purchase deed due to the construction year of 1956. This is standard practice for older homes and protects both the buyer and the seller regarding potential non-visible defects associated with the age of the building. The volume of the house is 444 cubic meters, contributing to the spacious feel experienced throughout the levels.
In summary, this property combines the charm of a characteristic building style with a practical and spacious layout. The excellent location near the center of Wijchen, combined with the private patio garden and the versatile living spaces across three floors, makes this a residence that offers a high quality of life. Whether for a growing family or professionals seeking a quiet yet connected home, this semi-detached house offers a compelling package of features.
