Charming 1930s End Terrace Home with Original Character Features and Garden Overkapping
Key Features
Description
Located on Rielerweg in the Deventer neighbourhood of Rielerweg-Oost, this end terrace house from 1932 offers a combination of original character elements and modern comforts. The property is situated on a street known for its community atmosphere where children play on the pavement and traffic moves at a leisurely pace. On match days, many homes display red and yellow flags, reflecting the local sporting culture. The location provides practical advantages as the train station is within walking distance, making both commuting and returning home convenient.
The exterior of the property reveals a notable feature for an end terrace: there is a side passage next to the house providing access to the rear. This arrangement brings additional natural light and ventilation to the home compared to standard terrace configurations. The roof is a cross gable construction covered with tiles.
Entering the property, the ground floor immediately showcases the appeal of 1930s architecture. A bay window at the front captures morning light in the sitting area. The living space is divided into a lounge and dining room by a room-en-suite arrangement featuring original sliding doors with stained glass panels between them. On both sides of these rooms, original fireplaces are present, with one reported to still be used weekly. The living room has been fitted with air conditioning, providing cooling during warm periods and supplementary heating in winter.
At the rear of the ground floor, doors open to the garden, allowing indoor and outdoor living to flow together during summer months. The northwest facing garden measures approximately 30 square metres with dimensions of 5.30 metres in depth and 5.70 metres in width. The orientation means the sun remains visible during summer evenings. At the back of the garden stands a freestanding wooden shed with electricity connection. Adjacent to the shed is a sizeable covered outdoor structure (overkapping), suitable for outdoor dining and entertaining.
The first floor contains three bedrooms and one bathroom. The bathroom is equipped with a walk-in shower, toilet, vanity unit, and underfloor heating. Character elements continue on this level with panel doors featuring attractive flat divisions and beamed ceilings. The front bedroom has a second bay window, creating additional space suitable for a reading chair, cot, or personal retreat area.
The second floor, the attic level, currently serves as the main bedroom. This is a large open space where a dormer window provides extra light and usable floor area. Shutters have been installed on this dormer, allowing for dark sleeping conditions when desired. The listing suggests this flexible space could alternatively function as a home office or remain as a spacious bedroom depending on the needs of future occupants.
Below ground level, the property includes a storage cellar. This type of space often proves its practical value over time for storing provisions, wine, or other items requiring a cool environment.
In terms of energy efficiency, the property holds an energy label C. Insulation measures include largely double glazing, wall insulation, and floor insulation. Heating is provided by a Remeha Tzerra gas combination boiler from 2017, which is owned rather than rented. Supplementary heating comes from the wood burning stove. Hot water is supplied through both the CV boiler and an electric boiler.
The total living area measures 94 square metres, with an additional 5 square metres of other indoor space and 1 square metre of building-related outdoor space. External storage amounts to 3 square metres. The plot covers 134 square metres with cadastral designation DEVENTER B 11494, held in full ownership.
Parking is available on public roads in the vicinity. The property is located in a residential area with both front and rear gardens. The rear garden is accessible via a rear path.
The asking price is 389,000 euros costs to buyer, which translates to approximately 4,138 euros per square metre of living space. The property is available for viewing with acceptance terms to be discussed. Additional documentation and a dedicated property webpage are available through the estate agent, with some information protected by a password accessible upon request.
