Spacious Drive-in Home with Garage and Sunny Southwest Balcony
Key Features
Description
Located in the village of Fijnaart, this drive-in residence at Plataanstraat 9 offers a practical and well-organized living space with various possibilities for future customization. The property presents itself as a solid family home with characteristic features typical of this type of dwelling, where the living areas are situated on the first floor rather than the ground level. This layout provides a unique spatial experience and makes efficient use of the available square meters.
The exterior of the property reveals a flat roof covered with bituminous roofing material, which is common for homes built in this period. The front of the house features a private driveway where you can park directly on your own property. This is a significant advantage in a residential area where on-street parking can sometimes be limited. The driveway leads to the front door, making the daily routine of coming and going particularly convenient.
Upon entering the home through the front door, you arrive in the hallway which provides access to the meter cupboard and the staircase leading to the first floor. From this central point, you can also reach both the garage and the garden room, making the ground floor a highly functional space for various purposes.
The garden room on the ground floor is a versatile space that benefits from large window frames allowing plenty of natural light to enter. This room offers a pleasant view of the garden and can serve multiple functions depending on your needs and preferences. It would make an excellent home office, a hobby room, or even an additional bedroom for guests or family members. The flexibility of this space is one of the notable features of this property.
The indoor garage extends across the full depth of the house and is equipped with an electric door for easy operation. Inside, there is ample space for storing bicycles, garden equipment, or other belongings. Alternatively, you can park a car inside, providing secure and sheltered parking. A side door in the garage gives direct access to the backyard, creating a practical flow between the indoor and outdoor spaces.
The first floor houses the main living areas, which is characteristic of a drive-in residence. Upon reaching this level via the fixed staircase, you enter a hallway equipped with an intercom system and a separate toilet. From here, you proceed to the kitchen which is positioned at the front of the house, offering a view of the street. The kitchen features a straight layout and comes with essential appliances including a dishwasher, a four-burner stove, a refrigerator, and an oven. A former balcony at the front has been cleverly converted into additional storage space, which is highly practical for keeping kitchen items and provisions organized.
The kitchen connects openly to the living room, creating an airy and interconnected atmosphere on this floor. The sitting area is located at the rear of the property and provides direct access to the balcony. This balcony is a particularly valuable addition to the home, as it was constructed at a later date and faces southwest. This orientation means you can enjoy the sun for a large part of the day, especially during the afternoon and evening hours. The balcony is equipped with an awning and roller shutters, allowing you to control the amount of sunlight and create shade whenever desired.
The second floor is dedicated to the sleeping quarters. Here you will find three bedrooms, with two positioned at the rear of the property and one at the front. These rooms offer practical dimensions and can be arranged according to your specific requirements, whether you need children's rooms, a home office, or a guest room. The bathroom is located at the front of this floor and includes a washbasin, a toilet, and a shower. While the bathroom provides all the necessary facilities in a functional layout, it presents an opportunity for modernization according to your personal taste and preferences.
The backyard is also oriented to the southwest and offers a sheltered spot for relaxation and outdoor living. The garden benefits from favorable sunlight conditions, making it possible to enjoy long summer evenings, a quiet morning coffee in the sun, or a pleasant barbecue with family and friends. With some attention and personal touches, this outdoor space can be transformed into your own green retreat.
Regarding the technical aspects, the property has an energy label C. The home features roof insulation and largely double glazing, contributing to a reasonable level of energy efficiency. Heating and hot water are provided by a Remeha gas-fired combi boiler that was installed in 2020 and is included in the purchase. The ventilation system operates through natural ventilation, and the property is equipped with roller shutters for additional comfort and security.
The total living area measures 119 square meters, supplemented by 24 square meters of other indoor space (the garage and garden room) and 24 square meters of building-related outdoor space (the balcony). The plot covers 125 square meters, and the total volume of the property is 462 cubic meters. These figures indicate a spacious home that offers good value relative to the asking price.
This residence is suitable for buyers who appreciate a well-organized layout with specific features such as a garage, a driveway, and a sunny balcony. The property offers various possibilities for modernization and sustainability improvements, allowing you to adapt the home to contemporary standards and your personal wishes over time. The location in a residential area of Fijnaart provides a pleasant living environment with the convenience of on-site parking and nearby public parking options.
The transfer of the property can take place in consultation, with the possibility of a quick transfer if desired. The standard purchase agreement includes a bank guarantee or deposit of ten percent of the purchase price and an age clause, which is customary for properties of this construction year.
