Charming Modernized 1930s Corner House with Five Bedrooms and Deep Garden

This characteristic corner house, built in 1937, is located on Prins Bernhardlaan in the Warnsveldsewegkwartier-Noord district of Zutphen. The property has recently been fully modernized and made more sustainable while retaining its authentic 1930s charm. With a living area of 146 square meters, five bedrooms, and a plot of 230 square meters, this residence offers ample space for families looking for a comfortable home in a desirable location.

The entrance is accessed through a rounded authentic door flanked by a colorful stained glass window, immediately setting the tone for the character found throughout the property. The hallway features a terrazzo floor and tile wainscoting, elements that have been preserved from the original construction. From the hall, there is access to the stairs leading to the first floor, a guest toilet with a small sink, a storage cellar, and the living room.

The living room is bright and divided into two distinct areas. At the front of the house is a cozy sitting area with a bay window and a pellet stove, creating a warm atmosphere during the colder months. The rear section serves as a dining area with plenty of room for a large dining table. French doors open from the dining area directly to the garden, establishing a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. The dining area flows openly into the kitchen, which was installed in 2024.

The kitchen is luxuriously appointed and fully equipped. It features a composite countertop, an induction cooktop with an integrated extractor hood, a refrigerator, a freezer, a dishwasher, and a Quooker instant boiling water tap. The upper cabinets provide substantial storage space, making the kitchen both functional and aesthetically pleasing.

Throughout the ground floor, with the exception of the granito floor areas, a modern herringbone pattern PVC floor was installed in 2024. This floor includes underfloor heating, contributing to the comfort of the living spaces. The property is equipped with mechanical ventilation, ensuring good air quality throughout the home.

The first floor is accessed via a fixed staircase and features a landing with access to three bedrooms. Two of these bedrooms are spacious, each measuring approximately 15 square meters, and both include built-in closets. The third room on this floor is approximately 5.5 square meters, making it suitable for use as a home office or walk-in closet. The large bedroom at the rear of the property has access to a west-facing balcony.

The main bathroom on this floor was renovated in 2024 and offers a luxurious feel. It includes a semi-freestanding bathtub, a walk-in shower, and a vanity unit with a basin and a mirror equipped with lighting and anti-condensation functionality. A separate toilet, also renovated in 2024, is finished in a matching style and located nearby.

The second floor is reached via another fixed staircase. Here, two additional spacious bedrooms are found, one of which features a mezzanine level that can serve as a sleeping area or provide extra storage space. On the landing of this floor, a second bathroom is located, equipped with a shower and a vanity unit. The opposite side of the landing houses the laundry facilities with space for a washing machine and dryer. The central heating boiler, a Remeha gas-fired combination boiler from 2017, is also installed on this floor.

The garden is accessible through the French doors from the dining area or through a door in the kitchen. Adjacent to the rear facade is a spacious terrace that overlooks the lawn, a large tree, and colorful planted borders. The garden offers plenty of room for children to play, for gardening hobbies, or simply for enjoying the outdoors. Thanks to its southwest orientation, the garden receives sunlight from the afternoon until sunset.

Connected to the house is a spacious stone storage building of approximately 14 square meters, which is insulated and includes a storage loft. This outbuilding can be reached both from the garden and from the front of the property. In front of the storage building, there is a small parking area on the property, ideal for a cargo bicycle. Public parking is readily available on the street.

The property has an energy label C. Various insulation measures have been implemented, including cavity wall insulation, ground floor insulation, and roof insulation. Nearly all windows were fitted with HR++ glass in 2023, contributing to improved energy efficiency.

The location of this property is particularly advantageous. Situated in a family-friendly neighborhood, the home is within walking distance of the historic center of Zutphen. All daily amenities are easily accessible, including supermarkets, primary schools, and sports clubs. Zutphen is known for its atmospheric Hanseatic center with stately buildings, courtyards, and the beautiful surrounding countryside along the IJssel river.

In summary, this corner house on Prins Bernhardlaan combines the charm and character of a 1930s home with modern comforts and conveniences. The recent renovations to the kitchen, bathrooms, and flooring, along with the improved insulation, make this a property that is move-in ready while offering the authentic details that make older homes so appealing. With five bedrooms spread over three floors, a deep garden, and a prime location in Zutphen, this residence presents a compelling opportunity for prospective buyers.
