Characteristic Living in Kruiskamp Amersfoort with Sunny Garden and City Centre Nearby
Key Features
Description
Located on Roggeveenstraat 18 in the Kruiskamp-Midden neighbourhood of Amersfoort, this terraced house offers a living experience that combines the charm of a residential area with the convenience of city living. The property is situated on a surprisingly quiet spot at the edge of the inner city, where one can hear birds in the garden while being only a five minute walk from the historic centre. Daily groceries can be obtained literally around the corner at the Neptunusplein, making this an exceptionally convenient location for starters, families, and anyone seeking comfort, space, and atmosphere.
The front garden, measuring six metres in depth, welcomes visitors with a magnolia tree and mature planting including rose bushes that are approximately fifty years old, a plum tree, and a cherry tree. This green entrance requires little maintenance and features a bench where one can enjoy the morning sun. The garden creates a pleasant transition from the street to the front door.
Upon entering the property, one immediately notices the characteristic travertine floor, which is equipped with comfortable underfloor heating. The hallway is practically laid out and provides access to the toilet, a cloakroom, a practical laundry cupboard, and both the kitchen and living room through solid pine doors.
From the hallway, one enters the living room where the authentic en-suite doors form a real eye-catcher. These doors have been subtly integrated into custom-built cabinets in a warm turquoise shade, creating a balanced combination of character and contemporary finishing. The walls are smoothly plastered in carefully chosen colours that match well with the travertine floor.
Through the en-suite doors, one reaches the impressive living kitchen. Thanks to an extension of four metres realised in 2023, this has become a generous living space where two large skylights provide beautiful natural light. The high-quality Bruynzeel Piet Zwart kitchen is equipped with a six-burner Pelgrim gas stove, built-in dishwasher, refrigerator, freezer, and a hardwood worktop. The freestanding kitchen island makes this a pleasant place for cooking, socialising, and spending time together. The rear facade consists almost entirely of glass, with French doors that seamlessly connect the interior and exterior.
The rear garden faces northwest and catches plenty of sun from the afternoon until sunset. Directly behind the house is a terrace where one can sit sheltered and enjoy the tranquillity and bird sounds. Further in the garden, there is a second terrace, a practical storage shed, and a rear access path. The borders have been laid out in a low-maintenance manner with, among other things, a flowering wisteria, an apple tree, and native planting. In combination with the sunny front garden, there is always a spot to be found in either sun or shade.
The entire first floor is fitted with neat laminate flooring. The spacious landing provides access to three bedrooms. The main bedroom at the front has a charming French balcony. The second bedroom at the rear is spacious and offers access via a loft ladder to a practical storage attic. The third room is ideal as a children's room, workspace, or guest room. The bathroom is compact but efficiently laid out, featuring a walk-in shower, a washbasin cabinet, and a designer radiator.
The location is ideal. The property is situated at the edge of the inner city of Amersfoort, in the quiet and increasingly popular Kruiskamp neighbourhood. The Neptunusplein with multiple supermarkets and specialty shops is literally around the corner. The historic inner city with shops, restaurants, and cultural facilities is only a five minute walk away.
For families, the Kruiskamp playground is a significant advantage. This neighbourhood playground is run by an association of local residents and serves as a meeting place for the area. For a small annual contribution, one can make unlimited use of the playground. Activities are organised and there is even a vegetable garden where children can help with sowing, caring for, and harvesting.
The property was built in 1956 and has a gable roof covered with tiles. The ground floor is equipped with a foam concrete floor. The windows feature HR+ glass. The property has roof insulation, wall insulation, and floor insulation, resulting in an energy label C. Heating and hot water are provided by a Remeha gas-fired central heating boiler from 2016, which is owned. Fibre optic cable and TV cable are available. Natural ventilation is present.

The plot area is 163 square metres and the volume of the property is 377 cubic metres. The rear garden has a depth of 8 metres and a width of 5.68 metres.
