Description
Located in the quiet residential area of Hoog Dalem, this property offers a comfortable setting for families seeking a blend of modern living and a child friendly neighbourhood. The address is Aan de Ruigenhoek 69, a street that has been developed in recent years and is characterised by new pathways, safe play areas and easy access to local amenities. Parents will appreciate the short bike ride to the nearby school, while the layout of the streets makes daily walks with a dog or a quick trip to the grocery store pleasant and safe.
The house was constructed in 2011 and presents a contemporary design that has been updated to meet the highest energy standards. The building sits on a 136 square metre plot and provides a total usable living area of 119 square metres spread over three levels. The ground floor welcomes you with a well equipped kitchen that includes all standard appliances and ample storage. Adjacent to the kitchen is a living room that opens through large glass doors onto the garden. The orientation of the doors allows natural light to fill the interior during the day and makes the indoor‑outdoor connection seamless. On warm days the doors can remain open, allowing children to move freely between the dining area and the garden while the family enjoys the afternoon sun.
A notable feature of the property is its commitment to sustainable energy. The house is fully gas free and relies on a heat pump combined with underfloor heating to provide warmth throughout the year. Ten solar panels installed on the roof generate electricity, contributing to the very high energy label of A+++ that the property holds. Mechanical ventilation ensures a constant supply of fresh air while maintaining energy efficiency. The entire structure is fully insulated, further reducing the need for additional heating and contributing to lower utility costs.
The property offers five rooms in total, including four separate bedrooms. Each bedroom is generously sized, providing space for sleeping, studying, remote work or storage as required by the occupants. The flexibility of the layout means that one room can be used as a home office, a guest room or a playroom without compromising the overall flow of the house. The bathroom is equipped with a double sink, a walk‑in shower and modern fixtures, while an additional separate toilet adds convenience for families with multiple users.
The garden is situated at the rear of the house and measures 59 square metres. It faces west, which means that the late afternoon sun bathes the outdoor area, creating an ideal setting for family gatherings, barbecues or simply relaxing after a busy day. Access to the garden is provided through the sliding doors on the living room side, and there is a separate side entrance that leads to a free standing wooden storage shed. The shed offers an extra seven square metres of covered space, useful for storing garden tools, bicycles or seasonal items.
Parking is available on the street, with public parking spaces located nearby. The neighbourhood is primarily residential, with a mix of families and young professionals, creating a calm and safe atmosphere. The location within a newer development means that the streets are quiet, well lit and maintain a sense of community. Local amenities such as shops, schools and recreational areas are within walking distance, reducing the need for a daily car commute.
Overall, the property combines modern sustainable technology with a functional layout that meets the everyday needs of a family. The combination of a bright interior, multiple bedrooms, a well equipped kitchen, a spacious garden and high energy performance makes it a practical and future‑proof choice for buyers looking for a comfortable home in a family oriented district.
The house is offered for sale at a price of €540,000, with the transaction being a standard purchase including the buyer covering the purchase costs. The seller has indicated that the handover date can be arranged in consultation with the buyer, providing flexibility for those who need to coordinate moving dates. The property is listed as fully owned, with no shared ownership or leasehold arrangements, giving the new owner full control over the land and the building.
In summary, this modern semi‑detached house in Hoog Dalem delivers a blend of energy efficiency, practical living space and a pleasant neighbourhood environment. Its three‑level layout, four bedrooms, modern bathroom facilities, fully insulated envelope, heat pump, solar panels and a west facing garden provide a solid foundation for comfortable family living now and into the future.
