Description

This property is located on Professor Jordanlaan 54 in the Tuindorp district of Utrecht. The home was originally constructed in 1930 and represents the characteristic architectural style of that era, often referred to in Dutch as a jaren dertig herenhuis. The building is classified as a semi-detached dwelling, known locally as a twee-onder-een-kapwoning, meaning it shares one wall with an adjacent property.

The residence contains a total of eight rooms, of which three are designated as bedrooms. The interior volume measures 450 cubic meters. Based on the listed asking price of 1,175,000 euros and the stated price per square meter of 8,103 euros, the living area can be calculated at approximately 145 square meters. This represents a generous amount of space for a family home in this part of Utrecht.

The bathroom facilities include a toilet and a shower. The listing does not mention a bathtub, so the presence of one cannot be confirmed. The property is heated by a central heating boiler system, which is a standard heating solution for Dutch homes of this vintage that have been updated over the years.

The energy label for this property is rated as D. This is a common rating for homes from the 1930s that have received some energy improvements but have not undergone comprehensive thermal renovation. Potential buyers would typically consider the implications of this rating for their energy costs and potential future renovation plans.

One of the notable features of this property is the garden situated at the rear of the home. The garden faces west, which means it receives afternoon and evening sunlight. The listing describes it as deep and sunny, suggesting a substantial outdoor space that extends a considerable distance from the back of the house. A west-facing garden in the Netherlands is generally considered desirable because it allows residents to enjoy outdoor seating and dining during the warmer months until late in the evening.

The Tuindorp neighborhood where this property is located is described as a popular and sought-after residential area in Utrecht. The street itself is characterized as quiet and green, providing a residential atmosphere that contrasts with busier urban areas. Professor Jordanlaan is positioned on the edge of Tuindorp, which may offer a transition between the established neighborhood character and surrounding areas.

Daily amenities are located within close proximity to the property. Shopping center De Gaard is mentioned as being a short distance away, offering grocery stores, specialty shops, and hospitality venues. This type of convenience is often valued by families and residents who prefer to handle daily errands without requiring a car.

The location also provides access to schools and sports facilities in the vicinity. For families with children, the presence of educational institutions nearby can be a significant practical advantage. Sports facilities add to the recreational options available to residents.

Public transportation connections are described as excellent from this location. Utrecht has an extensive network of buses and trains, and good public transport access is typically a priority for commuters and those who prefer not to rely solely on private vehicles.

The property is also described as having good access to major roads and highways. Utrecht is centrally located in the Netherlands, and its highway connections provide relatively quick access to other major cities in the Randstad region, including Amsterdam, Rotterdam, and The Hague.

The historic city center of Utrecht is reachable by a short bicycle ride. Utrecht is known for its canal system, the Dom Tower, and a wide variety of cultural and commercial attractions. The ability to cycle to the center is a practical and enjoyable aspect of living in neighborhoods like Tuindorp.

The architectural character of the home is emphasized throughout the listing. Properties from the 1930s in the Netherlands typically feature elements such as stained glass windows, panel doors, ornamental ceilings, and distinctive rooflines. The listing mentions authentic details and the charm associated with this period, suggesting that original architectural features have been preserved to some degree.

The cadastral registration for this property is listed as Utrecht D 3603, with a total cadastral surface area of 264 square meters. This measurement typically includes both the footprint of the building and the accompanying land, which would encompass the garden and any front or side outdoor areas.

The property is offered with full ownership rights, known in Dutch as volle eigendom. This means the buyer would acquire complete ownership of both the structure and the land it stands on, without any leasehold or ground lease obligations.

Please note that this property is marked as sold, indicated by the word VERKOCHT at the beginning of the listing. This means the property is no longer available for purchase and the information provided reflects the state of the listing at the time of sale.
