Description
Welcome to this spacious corner residence located on a quiet, child-friendly street in Purmerend. This property at Puntmosstraat 69 offers a comfortable living environment with modern conveniences and excellent potential for future expansion. The home is situated within walking distance of Purmerend train station, making it an ideal choice for commuters who prefer to leave the car at home.
Upon entering the property, you are welcomed by a bright and spacious hallway. To the right of the entrance, you will find a toilet room fitted with a charming small sink. Further along the hall, there is the meter cupboard, the staircase leading to the upper floors, and the entrance to the living area. The layout of the ground floor is designed with practicality in mind, placing the kitchen at the front of the house along the street side, followed by a dining area and a living room that faces the garden.
The modern kitchen is arranged in a practical U-shape configuration, making it a functional space for anyone who enjoys cooking. It comes equipped with various built-in appliances, including a ceramic cooktop, an oven, a dishwasher, and a refrigerator-freezer combination. The kitchen is finished with a stylish granite worktop that adds a touch of elegance to the space. Thanks to its position at the front of the house, the kitchen maintains a connection with the street and neighborhood, ensuring you never feel closed off from the surroundings.
The generous living room flows seamlessly toward the sunny garden, creating a natural transition between indoor and outdoor living. The room provides ample space for a comfortable seating area and offers a pleasant atmosphere for daily family life. One notable feature of this property is the potential to extend the living area with an addition at the rear, which would further enhance the already comfortable living space.
Moving to the first floor, you will find three bedrooms of varying sizes. These rooms are versatile and can serve as children's bedrooms, a home office, or guest rooms, depending on your family's needs. Also located on this floor is the well-maintained bathroom, which features a double sink, a spacious walk-in shower, and a second toilet. This arrangement ensures convenience for the household, particularly during busy morning routines.
The second floor houses the fourth bedroom, which benefits from natural light through the installed skylights. There is also the option to add a dormer window to this floor, which would create even more space and allow additional daylight to enter. This flexibility makes the top floor an attractive proposition for those who may need extra room in the future.
The outdoor areas of this property are particularly noteworthy. The home boasts not one but two carefully landscaped outdoor spaces. The southeast-facing backyard is low-maintenance and features neat tiling, cozy seating areas, and a practical canopy attached to the freestanding shed. The shed is equipped with electricity, providing a useful space for storage or hobbies. An electric sunshade ensures you can enjoy a cool spot in the garden during warmer summer days. A back entrance provides convenient access to the rear of the property, and there is an additional storage space located next to the house.
The location of this property is one of its strongest attributes. Situated in a quiet and child-friendly neighborhood, the home is surrounded by various playgrounds, parks, and sports facilities. The proximity to Purmerend train station and the charming city center means that daily amenities, shops, and restaurants are all within easy reach. For those who travel by car, the A7 highway is quickly accessible, making this an excellent base for commuting to work.
From a technical perspective, the property performs well. It holds an Energy Label A, indicating that the home is highly energy-efficient. This has been achieved through roof insulation, double glazing, and wall insulation. The property is heated by district heating, with partial floor heating providing additional comfort. Hot water is also supplied through the district heating system. Mechanical ventilation is installed to ensure good air quality throughout the home.
An important financial benefit of this property is that the ground lease has been perpetually paid off. This means that as the new owner, you will not have to worry about periodic ground lease payments, which can be a significant ongoing cost with other leasehold properties. This arrangement provides peace of mind and makes the property more attractive from a long-term investment perspective.
The property was originally built in 1985 and features a gable roof covered with tiles. The total living area measures 104 square meters, with an additional 10 square meters of built-on outdoor space and 5 square meters of external storage. The plot covers 143 square meters, with the backyard measuring 55 square meters at a depth of 10 meters and a width of 5.5 meters. The total volume of the building is 367 cubic meters.
It should be noted that parking is available on public roads in the area, meaning there is no dedicated private parking space associated with the property. The freestanding stone shed, while practical and equipped with electricity, does not have insulation.
In summary, this corner residence in Purmerend offers a solid foundation for family life. With four bedrooms, a modern kitchen, a well-appointed bathroom, and a pleasant garden, it provides all the essential elements for comfortable living. The Energy Label A, the perpetually paid-off ground lease, and the excellent location near public transport add significant value. The potential for expansion makes this property particularly interesting for buyers who want to customize their home to their exact preferences over time.
