Spacious Detached Home with South-Facing Garden and Carport in Quiet Village Setting
Key Features
Upsides
- Spacious 197 m² living area with 4 bedrooms and potential for a 5th bedroom on the second floor, providing flexibility for growing families or those needing home office space.
- Large carport that can accommodate a camper or oversized vehicle, which is a rare feature that adds significant practical value.
- South facing backyard of 162 m² that has been recently relandscaped, offering good outdoor living space with optimal sunlight exposure throughout the day.
- The ground floor has been modernized with quality finishes including PVC herringbone flooring, smooth walls and ceilings, and air conditioning, creating a contemporary living experience.
- Versatile converted garage space that can serve as additional bedroom, home office, hobby room, or gym, adding functional flexibility to the property.
Downsides
- The energy label is not available, creating uncertainty about the overall energy efficiency of the property which could affect future energy costs and potential mortgage terms.
- Only one bathroom serves four bedrooms, which may be insufficient for larger families or households where multiple people need to get ready simultaneously.
- The property was built between 1971 and 1980, and while some modernization has occurred, the upper floors appear to retain their original character which may require future updates.
- The basement access is only through the rear hallway on the ground floor, which may be less convenient compared to internal stairway access found in some properties.
- The garden depth of 12 meters is relatively modest given the 13.5 meter width, resulting in a more square shaped garden rather than an elongated one that some buyers might prefer.
Description
This detached property located on Schandeloseweg in Arcen en Velden offers 197 square meters of living space situated on a plot of 478 square meters. The ground floor was modernized and reconfigured several years ago with a clear focus on maximizing spatial flow and natural light throughout the interior.
Upon arrival, the front garden presents a clean and stylish layout that creates an inviting entrance. A long driveway leads to the main entrance where you step into a contemporary finished interior featuring a PVC herringbone floor and smoothly finished walls and ceilings that give the space a current and fresh appearance.
The ground floor toilet is fully tiled and equipped with a wall hung toilet and a small sink. The living room features an engaging layout that includes a sunken seating area positioned near the wood burning fireplace, creating a cozy atmosphere for evening relaxation. A bay window allows abundant daylight to enter the room and enhances the feeling of spaciousness. An air conditioning unit positioned between the sitting area and dining area provides cooling during summer months and heating during winter.
The open kitchen is cleverly positioned toward the garden and connects seamlessly with the dining area. The modern L shaped configuration includes contemporary appliances and offers plenty of work surface and cabinet space. At the front of the kitchen there is a practical storage closet that also houses the central heating installation, keeping it neatly out of sight.
At the rear of the ground floor you will find an extension currently arranged as a playroom, featuring a sliding door that opens to the garden and provides access to a rear hallway. From this hallway you can reach the basement and a storage area.
The basement measures approximately 14 square meters and serves well for storage and keeping supplies. The former garage has been partially converted into storage space and partially transformed into a fully insulated multifunctional room. This versatile space could function as an additional bedroom, home office, hobby room, or home gym depending on your needs.
On the left side of the property there is a second driveway with double doors and a separate pedestrian door. The double doors provide access to a large and tall carport that can accommodate even a camper vehicle. At the back of the carport there is a covered area suitable for outdoor socializing or barbecuing during summer. The pedestrian door on the right also provides a free rear access route.
The south facing backyard has been carefully relandscaped and offers a spacious and sunny outdoor area. The garden measures 162 square meters with a depth of 12 meters and a width of 13.5 meters, providing ample space for relaxation, gardening, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings.
The first floor contains three bedrooms and a spacious bathroom. The master bedroom measures approximately 17 square meters and is equipped with air conditioning and has its own direct access to the bathroom. The two additional bedrooms measure approximately 10.5 square meters and 11 square meters respectively and are positioned at the rear of the property. The bathroom measures approximately 9 square meters and is properly finished with a corner bath, shower cabin, toilet, and a double sink vanity.
The second floor is accessible via a fixed staircase and features a generous landing with a washing machine connection and a boiler closet. The fourth bedroom measures approximately 14.5 square meters and has been updated with a new skylight, new flooring, and air conditioning. Behind sliding doors there is additional storage space. Additionally there is another room that could serve as a guest room or dressing room. Should you desire a fifth full bedroom, this could be relatively easily achieved by installing a dormer window or a large skylight.
The property is equipped with various modern conveniences including air conditioning in multiple rooms, shutters, a chimney, a sliding door, and solar panels. Insulation includes roof insulation, double glazing, and wall insulation.
The location is situated in a quiet environment at the edge of the village. Within a few minutes you can reach the village center, primary school, sports clubs, and shops. The access roads toward Venlo, Venray, Germany, and the A67 highway are conveniently close. The nearby Maas riverbanks, forests, and nature areas known as the Ravenvennen and the Zwarte Water offer excellent opportunities for walking, cycling, and enjoying outdoor activities.
The property is classified as a detached single family home built during the period 1971 to 1980 with a gable roof covered with tiles. The total volume of the building is 841 cubic meters. The cadastral registration shows the property consists of three separate parcels all under full ownership, located in Arcen en Velden with parcel numbers E 481 (354 square meters), E 544 (49 square meters), and E 1072 (75 square meters).
The asking price is 625000 euros payable by the buyer (kosten koper), which translates to approximately 3173 euros per square meter of living space. The property is currently available and acceptance terms are open to negotiation.
