Description
This terraced house located on Ranonkelstraat in Arnhem presents a fully renovated home from the 1930s era. The property has been carefully updated over recent years with attention to detail, combining original character elements with modern conveniences. The total living area measures approximately 122 square meters, complemented by an external storage space of 27 square meters in the form of a detached garage. The plot covers 174 square meters with a total building volume of 484 cubic meters.
The ground floor features an entrance hall with stairs leading to the upper levels and a modern toilet with a small sink. The living room extends across the full width of the property and benefits from large windows at both the front and rear, allowing ample natural light to enter throughout the day. The walls and floors have been finished with clean, contemporary materials. A pellet stove has been installed in the living area to provide additional warmth and ambiance during colder months. The ground floor also includes underfloor heating, contributing to a comfortable indoor climate.
At the rear of the ground floor, the open kitchen has been designed with a cooking island and bar seating arrangement. The kitchen features a light color scheme and is equipped with various built-in appliances of high quality. Folding doors connect the living room to the backyard, effectively merging the indoor and outdoor living spaces.
The first floor contains three bedrooms and a bathroom. The main bedroom is positioned at the rear of the property and includes built-in closet space as well as access to a balcony. The second bedroom at the front of the house offers sufficient space for use as either a bedroom or a home office. The third bedroom is smaller in size and would function well as a child's room, hobby space, or additional workspace. The bathroom on this floor has been finished with modern materials in neutral tones and includes a walk-in shower, a vanity unit, and a toilet.
A fixed staircase leads to the second floor, which houses a spacious attic level with dormer windows. This area currently serves as a combination of a sports room and laundry room. The layout allows for straightforward conversion into a full fourth bedroom, hobby room, or home office if desired. The presence of multiple windows ensures that this level also receives good natural daylight.
The backyard is described as low-maintenance and offers privacy for outdoor relaxation. Measuring 75 square meters, the garden extends 15 meters in depth with a width of 5 meters. The garden faces northwest and is accessible via a rear path. At the far end of the garden stands the detached stone garage, which can accommodate one vehicle and provides additional storage space for bicycles, motorcycles, or garden equipment.
The property holds an energy label C. Insulation measures include roof insulation and partial double glazing. Heating is provided through a combination of a central heating boiler, the pellet stove, and partial underfloor heating on the ground floor. Hot water is supplied by the central heating system. The installed boiler is a Remeha gas-fired combi boiler from 2020, which is included in the purchase.
The Ranonkelstraat is situated in a central and popular residential area of Arnhem. Daily amenities such as shops, schools, and sports facilities are within walking distance. Public transportation connections are readily available nearby. The vibrant city center of Arnhem can be reached quickly, as can Arnhem Central Station. Major roads connecting to Nijmegen, Utrecht, and Apeldoorn are easily accessible from this location. For those seeking outdoor recreation, the river floodplains and the Rhine river are just a few minutes away by foot or bicycle, offering opportunities for walking, cycling, and enjoying natural scenery.
Parking for residents is available on public streets in the vicinity. The property itself includes one garage space. The house is classified as a terraced dwelling constructed in 1938 with a gabled roof covered with tiles. The property is registered at the Land Registry under ARNHEM E 914 with full ownership status.
The asking price for this property is set at 435,000 euros, which translates to approximately 3,566 euros per square meter of living space. The property is currently available and the transfer terms are open to negotiation.
This home represents a suitable option for families or individuals seeking a centrally located residence in Arnhem that requires no immediate renovation work. The combination of four potential bedrooms, a modern kitchen and bathroom, a large garage, and proximity to both urban amenities and natural areas makes this a versatile property for various lifestyle needs.
