This property offers an excellent combination of modern comforts, energy efficiency, and a convenient location. With a living area of approximately 118 square meters situated on a 130 square meter plot, this home provides ample space for families looking for a pleasant place to settle.
The property features an impressive energy label A rating, which is supported by the presence of 9 solar panels installed on the roof. This means you can enjoy lower energy bills while also contributing to a more sustainable living environment. The home was originally built in 1976 and has since been thoughtfully updated with various modern improvements that enhance both comfort and efficiency.
Upon entering the home through the hallway, you are greeted by a modernized meter cupboard featuring an extensive and contemporary electrical installation. The hallway also provides access to the staircase and a modernized toilet room. Moving further into the property, you reach the open kitchen located at the front of the house. The kitchen measures approximately 3.26 by 2.32 meters and offers generous counter space and storage options. It comes fully equipped with modern appliances including an induction cooktop and a dishwasher, making meal preparation a convenient and enjoyable experience.
The ground floor has received a fresh and contemporary upgrade. The walls and ceilings have been smoothly plastered, creating a clean and modern aesthetic throughout. A stylish PVC herringbone floor has been installed, which not only looks attractive but also incorporates comfortable underfloor heating. This ensures a pleasant and even distribution of warmth during the colder months while eliminating the need for visible radiators in the main living areas.
The living room measures approximately 7.34 to 4.84 by 4.60 meters and benefits from large windows and French doors that open directly to the garden. This thoughtful design floods the space with natural light and creates a seamless connection between the indoor and outdoor living areas. The living room feels remarkably bright and airy throughout the day. Additionally, a practical storage closet is conveniently located beneath the stairs, providing useful space for household items and keeping the main living areas clutter free.
Moving to the first floor, you find a landing that provides access to three well proportioned bedrooms, all fitted with neat laminate flooring. The master bedroom is situated at the front of the property and measures approximately 3.27 by 4.62 meters. This room benefits from built in wardrobes, offering practical storage solutions without sacrificing floor space. At the rear of the property, there are two additional bedrooms measuring approximately 4.82 by 2.25 meters and 3.85 by 2.27 meters respectively. These rooms can serve various purposes such as childrens rooms, a home office, or guest accommodation.
The modern bathroom on the first floor measures approximately 2.29 by 2.25 meters and is fully equipped with a walk in shower, a vanity unit with sink, and a second toilet. The contemporary fixtures and fittings create a clean and functional space that meets the needs of a modern family.
The second floor is accessible via a fixed staircase and features laminate flooring throughout. The front section, measuring approximately 4.52 by 1.80 meters, houses the central heating boiler, the mechanical ventilation unit, and connections for a washing machine and dryer. This practical layout keeps laundry appliances conveniently located away from the main living areas. Beyond this utility space, you enter the generous fourth bedroom measuring approximately 4.52 by 2.71 meters. This room even includes its own washbasin, adding an extra layer of convenience and making it an ideal space for an older child, a guest room, or even a workspace.
One of the standout features of this property is the lovely south facing rear garden. If you enjoy spending time outdoors and soaking up the sun, this garden will not disappoint. A south facing orientation means you can enjoy sunlight throughout the entire day, making it perfect for outdoor dining, gardening, or simply relaxing in the fresh air. The garden itself measures approximately 55 square meters with dimensions of 11 meters deep and 5 meters wide. Within the garden, there is a free standing brick storage shed measuring approximately 1.52 by 4.00 meters, which is ideal for storing bicycles, garden tools, and other outdoor equipment. The garden is also accessible via a rear entrance, adding to the convenience.
The property comes with several notable features and improvements. The entire home is fitted with synthetic window frames, which require minimal maintenance and provide excellent insulation. The combination of roof insulation, double glazing, and wall insulation contributes to the excellent energy label A rating. The central heating is provided by a Nefit HR combi boiler that runs on gas and was installed in 2011. This boiler is the property of the homeowner.
The location of this property is particularly appealing for families. Situated directly opposite park Het Groene Eiland, residents can enjoy a peaceful and green environment right on their doorstep. The neighborhood offers a quiet residential atmosphere while still providing easy access to all necessary amenities. Schools, playgrounds, and the childrens farm De Goudse Hofsteden are all within walking distance, making it an excellent choice for families with young children.
For daily shopping needs, the Bloemendaal shopping center is located just around the corner. This convenience means you can quickly and easily complete your grocery shopping without having to travel far. The property also benefits from excellent connectivity to major roadways. The A12 and A20 motorways can be reached within just a few minutes, providing swift access to cities such as Rotterdam, The Hague, and Utrecht. This makes the location ideal for commuters who need to travel to these urban centers for work.
Parking is convenient and hassle free as the property includes its own parking space at the front of the house. This eliminates the common urban challenge of searching for street parking after a long day at work.
The property falls under a mandatory participation in the Owners Association Zevenburg, with an annual contribution of approximately 55 euros. This relatively low contribution helps maintain the shared areas and infrastructure within the neighborhood.
In summary, this terraced family home at Rodenburg 25 in Gouda offers a compelling package for those seeking comfortable, energy efficient living in a family friendly neighborhood.
