Key Features
Description
This split-level terraced house is situated in the popular Kruidenbuurt neighborhood of Nieuwerkerk aan den IJssel. The property was built in 1979 and offers a living area of 144 square meters on a plot of 168 square meters. The home features a characteristic split-level layout spread across three floors with six distinct levels, providing a playful and spacious living experience.
The ground floor entrance leads to a hall with the meter cupboard and a modern toilet. From here, there is access to the indoor garage, which is equipped with a washing machine connection, a fixed storage cupboard, and a sink. The garage can serve multiple purposes, including parking a vehicle, storing bicycles, or functioning as a hobby space. A second hall provides access to a practical storage closet, a hatch leading to the cellar, and the central heating boiler that was installed in 2015.
A short flight of stairs leads up to the living room on the second level. This room immediately stands out due to the level difference that gives the house its distinctive character. The living room offers an unobstructed view of the water and the adjacent park at the rear. The flooring consists of tiles with underfloor heating, while the walls feature smooth plasterwork. A fireplace adds atmosphere to the space, and a large plastic sliding door connects the interior with the sunny garden, allowing plenty of natural light to enter.
Half a flight of stairs higher lies the spacious open kitchen, which was completely renovated in 2025. This modern kitchen serves as the heart of the home and is fitted with a refrigerator-freezer combination, a dishwasher, an oven, a four-burner cooking island with integrated extraction, and a Quooker instant boiling water tap. The floor here also features tiles with underfloor heating, and the walls and ceiling have been neatly finished with smooth plasterwork. A connection for air conditioning is already in place. A plastic sliding door at the front of the kitchen provides access to a balcony, which is a pleasant spot for morning coffee while catching the morning sun.
The first floor contains two bedrooms spread across two levels. On level four, there is a bedroom at the rear with a built-in closet and a balcony overlooking the garden, the water, and the park.

The outdoor space is a significant feature of this property. From the living room, one steps onto a terrace, and a staircase leads down to the rear garden.

The garden measures 70 square meters, with a depth of 12.25 meters and a width of 5.75 meters. This makes it an attractive space for relaxation or for socializing with family and friends during summer evenings.

The house has plastic window frames with double glazing, contributing to the energy efficiency of the home. The energy label is rated C.
