Description
Parallelweg 4 is situated in the town of Rhenen, located in the province of Utrecht in the Netherlands. This semi-detached residence, known in Dutch as a twee-onder-een-kapwoning, was originally constructed in 1930 and retains numerous authentic characteristics from that era. The property is positioned in a pleasant residential area close to the river Rijn, the floodplains known as uiterwaarden, and the forests surrounding Rhenen. Within walking distance, residents have access to the train station, various schools, and the town center with its range of shops and amenities.
The exterior of the property features a mansard roof covered with tiles, which is typical of homes from this period. At the front of the house, a markies (awning) has been installed to provide shade. The front garden has been thoughtfully laid out with ornamental gravel, planted borders, and a paved path leading to the covered entrance. The total plot size measures 245 square meters.
Upon entering through the covered entrance, you arrive in the reception hall. This space features an attractive granite floor and provides access to the meter cupboard, a toilet room, the staircase to the first floor, and a basement that offers standing height. The basement presents additional storage possibilities for the homeowner.
The living room is a particularly appealing space, characterized by a PVC floor, a decorative beamed ceiling, and a distinctive bay window (erker) at the front of the property. Large window sections allow plenty of natural light to enter the room, creating a bright and welcoming atmosphere. From the living room, elegant en-suite doors with stained glass panels lead through to the conservatory (serre). This conservatory features doors that open fully, establishing a direct connection between the interior living space and the garden outside. This arrangement effectively extends the living area during warmer months and allows residents to enjoy both indoor and outdoor living.
The kitchen is accessed from the hall and is arranged in an L-shaped configuration. It includes a granite worktop, wall-mounted cabinets, and several built-in appliances. The appliances consist of a four-burner gas hob, a flat-screen extractor hood, a refrigerator, an oven, and a close-in boiler for hot water. Opposite the main kitchen area, an additional work surface has been installed along with a dishwasher and supplementary cabinet space. The kitchen also provides direct access to the rear garden, offering convenience for outdoor dining and entertaining.
The staircase leading to the first floor is enhanced by the presence of stained glass windows, which contribute to the authentic character of the home. On this level, three bedrooms are situated across the front and rear of the property. The largest bedroom is positioned at the rear and offers generous proportions. The smallest bedroom contains a fixed staircase that provides access to the second floor.
The bathroom on this floor has been fully tiled and equipped with a vanity unit incorporating a mirror and storage cabinets. The shower area features doors that can be closed off and is fitted with a thermostatic mixer tap. Throughout the first floor, the original panel doors and beamed ceilings have been preserved, maintaining the period character of the property.
The second floor is reached via the fixed staircase from one of the bedrooms. This level comprises a landing area housing the central heating boiler installation, followed by a practical attic room fitted with a large skylight window. This space lends itself well to use as a hobby room, home office, or additional storage area, depending on the needs of the occupants.
The rear garden is oriented to the southwest, which ensures ample sunlight throughout the afternoon and evening. Various terraced areas have been created, complemented by attractive borders, pleached trees (leibomen), and diverse plantings.
