The location is particularly advantageous. The property sits on a quiet street yet remains within walking distance of the vibrant city center with all its amenities.

The layout and number of rooms make this property exceptionally versatile. With five bedrooms and seven rooms in total, the residence is currently used as student housing in accordance with Delft municipal regulations, accommodating up to four persons. However, the space can equally serve as a comfortable family home. The dividing wall on the first floor is described as easily removable, allowing future owners to restore the original open living room layout spanning the full depth of the property.

The ground floor provides access to the property through an entrance hall containing the meter cupboard with six circuit groups and an earth leakage switch. A staircase leads to the first residential floor.

The first floor features a hallway with a separate toilet and a staircase to the second floor. The living area has been divided into two sections. At the rear, there is a spacious bedroom with a fireplace and French doors opening to the roof terrace. At the front, a well proportioned bedroom has French doors leading to a balcony. The front side room currently serves as a dining area. The kitchen was renovated in 2020 and is equipped with a composite worktop, oven, induction cooktop, extractor hood, refrigerator, and dishwasher.

Two rooms are located at the front of the property, both featuring exposed beam construction, with one room having a dormer window. The rear contains the master bedroom and an attractive side room.

The property has received substantial updates over the years. In 2011 and 2012, a comprehensive renovation addressed the electrical installation, plumbing, bathroom, and central heating system. The entire electrical wiring was renewed during this period. The kitchen and window frames were replaced in 2020, with the new frames being plastic with HR++ double glazing. The central heating boiler is a Remeha Avanta 24C gas fired combi boiler from 2021, which is included in the purchase.

Insulation improvements have been made at various points. The roof was insulated in 2016 with approximately 6 centimeters of PIR insulation material. The facades received insulation in 2011, with the front facade fitted with mineral wool and the rear facade with PIR insulation. These measures contribute to the current D energy label.

The monthly contribution amounts to 154.33 euros, and the association maintains a reserve fund. Building insurance is arranged through the VvE. However, the listing notes that no formal maintenance plan is currently in place.

Parking is available through the permit system in the area. The property has connections for fiber optic cable, natural ventilation, a chimney, and TV cable.

The asking price is 500,000 euros, which translates to approximately 4,587 euros per square meter of living space. The property is offered with a costs to buyer arrangement, meaning the buyer is responsible for transfer taxes and notary fees associated with the purchase.
