Spacious Family Home with 5 Bedrooms, Energy Label A and South-Facing Garden in Child-Friendly Waardhuizen
Key Features
Upsides
- Energy label A with solar panels, making the home energy efficient and reducing utility costs.
- Five bedrooms across three floors provide ample space for a family, with the second floor offering two spacious rooms thanks to the dormer windows.
- South-facing garden of 43 square meters offers good sunlight exposure throughout the day.
- Child-friendly Waardhuizen location with playgrounds, schools, and sports facilities nearby, combined with excellent connectivity to Amsterdam and Schiphol via public transport and major roads.
- Recent upgrades including uPVC windows with HR++ glass (2025), renovated bathroom (2017), renewed electrical system (2021), and a modern central heating boiler (2015).
Downsides
- Only public parking is available, with no private parking space or garage on the property.
- Window upgrades are partial, with some windows still having older wooden frames with standard double glazing rather than the more efficient HR++ glass found in the kitchen and first floor.
- The garden at 43 square meters is relatively modest in size for a property with 131 square meters of living space.
- As a terraced house built in 1983, the property offers less privacy compared to detached homes and has the typical characteristics of older construction.
- The plot size of 130 square meters is small relative to the living area, which may limit outdoor space and potential for further extension.
