Ruitenstraat 12 is situated in a quiet street in the Hasselt Dedemsvaart-Zuid area, offering a surprising amount of space and comfort for a family home. The property is located at a corner position, which provides a free view over a green field at the front side. This corner house from 1970 has been well maintained and thoughtfully extended over the years, making it a versatile home suitable for various stages of life.
The exterior of the property received a new stone facade in 1998, giving the house a clean and contemporary appearance.

Parking is convenient with a private driveway and a carport, allowing residents and visitors to park easily on the property.
Upon entering the home through the main entrance, you arrive in a practical hallway that houses the toilet, the meter cupboard, the staircase to the upper floor, and a useful storage closet under the stairs. This hallway provides access to the main living area.
The living room extends across the entire length of the house, creating a generous and bright space. At the front side, the seating area benefits from the unobstructed view of the green field, bringing natural light into the home. At the rear side, there is ample space for a large dining table, making this area ideal for hosting family dinners and social gatherings with friends.
The kitchen is equipped with various built-in appliances to support daily cooking activities. These include a refrigerator, an induction cooktop, an extractor hood, a combi-oven, and a freezer. The layout is functional with everything within easy reach during meal preparation.
Adjacent to the kitchen is a utility room that contains the washing machine connection and offers additional storage space. From this utility room, you can access both the backyard and the ground floor bedroom. This bedroom has an adjoining bathroom that features underfloor heating, a toilet, a shower, and a washbasin. The extension comprising the utility room, ground floor bedroom, and bathroom was completed in 2015. This addition makes the property fully accessible for people who prefer or require ground floor living, including elderly residents or individuals with mobility limitations.
The first floor contains three bedrooms that are accessible from the landing. Two of these bedrooms have built-in closets, and there is an additional closet on the landing itself for extra storage needs.

The second floor is reached via a fixed staircase. On this level, there is another bedroom, providing the fifth sleeping space in the home. The landing area on this floor houses the central heating boiler and the inverter for the solar panels. Behind the knee walls, there is additional storage space that is practical for storing seasonal items, luggage, or other belongings that are not needed on a daily basis.
The backyard is designed to be low maintenance while still offering a pleasant outdoor space. The garden is largely paved, which reduces the amount of gardening required and allows residents to enjoy the outside area without significant upkeep. There is sufficient room for a comfortable seating area or a large garden table. Thanks to the 2015 extension, there is a sheltered terrace directly adjacent to the house, creating a pleasant spot that can be enjoyed early in the spring when the weather starts to warm up.
