Spacious Family Home with Garage and Sunny Southwest Garden in Child-Friendly Katwijk Neighborhood

This surprisingly spacious terraced house is located at Schelp 7 in the quiet, child-friendly and green neighborhood of De Krom in Katwijk. The property offers a comfortable living environment with a total living area of 133 square meters, a plot size of 164 square meters, and five bedrooms spread across three floors. The house features an attached garage that can be accessed from inside the home, parking space directly in front of the door, and a backyard facing southwest with views of a park behind the property.

The ground floor layout begins with the covered entrance leading into the hall. From the hall, there is access to the utility room which connects to the garage, a separate toilet, the staircase, the meter cupboard, a space for coats and wardrobes, and the living room with open kitchen. The utility room contains the connections for a washing machine and tumble dryer. The open kitchen is situated at the front of the house and is equipped with a dishwasher, a close-in boiler for hot water, a fridge-freezer combination, a combi-oven, and a four-burner gas hob with an extractor hood. The living room is located at the rear of the property and features a large open gas fireplace. From the living room, there is a door leading directly to the backyard.

The first floor contains three bedrooms, a bathroom, and a linen closet. The master bedroom is located at the rear and has access to a sunny balcony. Next to the master bedroom is a smaller bedroom, also at the rear. The bathroom and the third bedroom, which has a washbasin, are situated at the front of this floor. The bathroom is fitted with a toilet, a shower, a bathtub, and a washbasin with a vanity unit.

The second floor offers two additional rooms accessible from a spacious landing where the central heating boiler is installed. One room is a generous bedroom with storage space, while the other is a smaller room that could serve as either a bedroom or a home office. This arrangement provides a total of five bedrooms, making the property suitable for larger families or those who need extra space for work or hobbies.

The backyard is oriented to the southwest, ensuring excellent sun exposure throughout the afternoon and evening. The garden features a combination of paving and planting, and an external sunshade is installed for additional comfort on warm days. The garden offers an unobstructed view of the park located directly behind the property, creating a pleasant and green outlook.

The attached garage is built of brick and can accommodate one car. It is equipped with electricity and can be reached directly from inside the house through the utility room. This provides secure parking and additional storage space.

The De Krom neighborhood where this property is located is known as a peaceful and family-oriented area with many young families. There are numerous playgrounds for children of various ages, and the proximity to the park behind the house adds to the green character of the surroundings. Further north, the sports fields of the local hockey and football clubs can be found, making it an attractive location for sporty families.

The property was built in 1980 and has double glazing and wall insulation, resulting in an energy label C. Heating is provided by a gas-fired combination boiler that is owned by the property owner, supplemented by the gas fireplace in the living room. Hot water is also supplied by the combination boiler.

It should be noted that the interior of the property is somewhat dated and would benefit from modernization. The bathroom, kitchen, and fireplace area could all be updated to contemporary standards. However, this also presents an opportunity for buyers to create their ideal living space according to their own taste and preferences.

The property offers several possibilities for expansion and modification. The living room could be extended, and a large dormer window on the second floor could create additional space. The wall between the hall and kitchen could be moved to enlarge the kitchen area, potentially allowing for the installation of a kitchen island. The staircase could be opened up to create a more spacious feel. The wall between the master bedroom and the adjacent room could be removed to create space for a walk-in closet. If a large dormer window is added to the second floor, this area could be reconfigured to create a large bedroom with a second bathroom and a separate laundry room.

The asking price is 625,000 euros, which translates to approximately 4,699 euros per square meter of living space. The property is offered with a costs buyer arrangement, meaning that the buyer is responsible for the transfer costs associated with the purchase. The transfer date is to be agreed upon between the parties. The property is currently available on the market.

With its combination of space, a garage, a sunny garden, and a child-friendly location, this property represents a solid opportunity for families looking to settle in a pleasant residential area in Katwijk. The property requires some updating but offers numerous possibilities for customization to meet the specific needs and wishes of its future owners.
