Modern Canal House with Private Parking and Four Bedrooms in Vathorst
Key Features
Description
This spacious canal house is located on Schellingwoudegracht in the popular Vathorst district of Amersfoort. The property offers a generous living area of 133 square meters, making it well suited for families looking for comfort and space in a characteristic neighbourhood setting.
The house is situated in De Laak, which is widely regarded as one of the most charming parts of Vathorst. This area distinguishes itself through its atmospheric canals, small bridges, and varied architecture that together create a pleasant living environment for residents of all ages. The immediate surroundings offer a mix of residential calm and convenient access to daily amenities.
On the ground floor, the entrance hall provides access to the L shaped living room and the open plan modern kitchen. The layout has been carefully considered to accommodate both a comfortable seating area and a dining area within the same space. The kitchen comes equipped with several built in appliances including an induction hob, oven, extractor hood, dishwasher, and refrigerator. A door at the rear of the living room opens directly to the backyard, creating a natural connection between indoor and outdoor living.
The first floor contains three bedrooms that were originally configured as four rooms before being combined to create more spacious bedrooms. The master bedroom at the front features a French balcony. Also located on this floor is a separate toilet and a modern bathroom finished with a walk in shower and washbasin. The decision to merge the original four rooms into three has resulted in noticeably larger bedroom spaces that offer greater flexibility in furnishing and use.
The second floor houses an additional spacious bedroom with a French balcony, a practical laundry room containing the central heating system, and a landing area. This upper level receives good natural light and could serve various purposes depending on the needs of the household, whether as a main bedroom, home office, or hobby room.
The backyard has been designed as a practical outdoor space with room for both lounge furniture and a dining set. The garden includes a back entrance and is positioned on an inner courtyard, adding to the sense of privacy and tranquillity. A detached wooden shed with electricity connection provides storage for bicycles and garden equipment.
A notable feature of this property is the private parking space located directly behind the garden on the inner courtyard area. In many urban and suburban neighbourhoods, parking can be a significant concern, making this dedicated spot a valuable addition to the home.
The location offers strong connectivity to essential services and transport links. The Vathorst shopping centre, schools, childcare facilities, and sports amenities are all within short distance. The NS railway station Vathorst provides direct train connections, while the nearby rural areas towards Nijkerk and Bunschoten offer opportunities for walking and cycling in green surroundings. The A1 and A28 motorways are easily accessible for those who commute by car.
Built in 2008, the property benefits from modern construction standards. The energy label is rated A, indicating good insulation and energy efficiency. The roof is a pitched gable roof covered with tiles. The house has mechanical ventilation and fibre optic cable connection. The total plot size measures 143 square meters with a building volume of 488 cubic meters.
The property is being offered at 625,000 euros costs to the buyer. This translates to approximately 4,699 euros per square meter of living space. The acceptance terms are to be discussed, allowing flexibility for both parties. The cadastral registration shows the main parcel as 131 square meters with full ownership, supplemented by an additional 12 square meter parcel also with full ownership, and two shared parcels of 13 and 818 square meters respectively. The shared parcels relate to the inner courtyard and access paths that serve multiple properties in the area.
The external storage space of 5 square meters is located in the detached shed in the backyard. The property is classified as a terraced house within an existing build residential area, positioned on a quiet road alongside water and within a residential neighbourhood.
With four bedrooms across three living levels, this canal house offers a practical and comfortable layout for family living. The combination of a modern interior finish, energy efficient construction, private parking, and a sought after location in Vathorst makes this a property that appeals to buyers looking for a complete package in the Amersfoort housing market.
