Spacious character home with renovation potential from 1939

This property presents a unique opportunity for those seeking a spacious home with character and the chance to put their own stamp on it. Located in Aalten, this semi-detached house was originally built in 1939. The building has a rich history, having previously served as a dry cleaning facility with a shop and living quarters. Many authentic elements from this past have been preserved, including high ceilings, panel doors, and beautiful stained glass windows.

The house offers a generous living area of 172 square meters spread over three floors. The plot covers 185 square meters. While the property requires work to finish the renovation, significant improvements have already been made since 2021. The asking price is set at 299000 euros, which is intended to leave budget available for the new owner to complete the modernization to their own taste.

The ground floor features a kitchen equipped with a five-burner induction cooktop and underfloor heating. This level also houses a separate toilet and a urinal. A connection for a washing machine is present, and there is access to a deep basement. The living room on this floor is large and also benefits from underfloor heating. The electrical system includes a modern fuse box that was installed in 2022.

Moving to the first floor, you will find a large bathroom. This space includes a combination bath and bubble bath, a shower, and a double sink, all underpinned by floor heating. An additional separate toilet is located on this floor as well. There are three bedrooms on the first level. One of these bedrooms retains authentic stained glass and features single glazing, while the other bedrooms have plastic window frames with HR glass.

The second floor has been converted to provide two additional bedrooms in the former attic space. These rooms are well insulated and feature a new window frame with insulating glass. The electrical wiring for these rooms has been prepared but requires final installation and connection.

The property is situated in the Aalten-core North
ortheast district. It lies on a quiet road within a residential neighborhood. The location is practical, offering walking distance to the town center and local amenities. Aalten provides good schools and sports facilities, as well as a train connection to Arnhem and Winterswijk. The N313 road is easily accessible, providing a route towards the Ruhr area in Germany.

The outdoor space consists of a backyard located on the west side. The garden covers an area of 85 square meters, measuring ten meters deep and eight and a half meters wide. Access to the rear is possible via a back entrance.

Technical details indicate the property falls within the 1931 to 1944 construction period. The roof is a saddle roof covered with tiles. The interior volume of the house is 647 cubic meters. The energy performance certificate is rated D. Insulation includes roof insulation, partial double glazing, and HR glass. Heating and hot water are provided by a Remeha gas-fired combi boiler from 2010, which is owned.

In total, the house contains six rooms, five of which are bedrooms. There is one bathroom and one separate toilet. The living area is spread across three levels. Television cable is available. Parking options include on-site parking and public parking. The transfer of the property is by agreement.

Because the current owners are moving to another region, the renovation project has not been completed. This creates an opening for buyers who are handy and creative to finalize the work. The property is marketed directly towards those who can see the potential in the substantial space and the existing base that has been created.
