Detached Home with Private Wellness Garden on Idyllic Dike Location

This detached property is situated on Slotvalkensteinsedijk in the village of Poortugaal, within the Valckesteyn residential area. The home was originally built in 1989 and has since been thoughtfully renovated and well maintained by the current owners. The asking price is set at 690,000 euros, with the buyer responsible for the associated transaction costs.

The location is particularly noteworthy. The property occupies a position on a quiet, dead-end dike road, which means there is minimal through traffic and a genuine sense of tranquility. Despite this rural and peaceful setting, the home is conveniently close to various amenities. The metro station is approximately a five-minute walk away, providing easy connections to Rotterdam and surrounding areas. The Valckensteinse forest can be reached on foot in about three minutes, offering pleasant walking and cycling opportunities right on the doorstep. Shops, schools, and main roads leading to Rotterdam are all readily accessible from this location.

The plot measures 250 square meters and includes parking space on the property as well as an attached wooden garage with electrical connections. The garage provides secure storage or shelter for a vehicle. The front garden offers a spacious layout with the parking area and garage access.

Upon entering the home, you arrive in a hallway that contains a toilet, the meter cupboard, and a charming wooden staircase leading to the upper floor. The living room has been extended at the rear, creating a generous and light-filled space. A wood-burning stove serves as a focal point in this room, adding warmth and atmosphere. From the living area, there are sliding doors that open directly onto the garden, allowing for a seamless indoor-outdoor flow during warmer months.

The kitchen is arranged in an L-shaped configuration and is equipped with a full set of built-in appliances. Adjacent to the kitchen is a utility room, which houses the dishwasher, additional storage space, and connections for a washing machine and dryer. This practical arrangement keeps the main kitchen area uncluttered.

A notable feature of the ground floor is the presence of an additional room that is currently used as a dining space. This room has the potential to serve as a bedroom, as it includes a connected bathroom. This ground-floor bathroom is fitted with electric underfloor heating, a walk-in shower, and a vanity unit. This configuration makes the property suitable for those seeking a home that can accommodate single-level living, offering a degree of future adaptability.

The first floor is accessed via the staircase from the hallway and features a spacious landing area. This landing is large enough to serve as a home office or study space if desired. There are two bedrooms on this level. The larger of the two is sufficiently sized that it could be divided into two separate bedrooms if required, providing flexibility for different household configurations.

The second bathroom on this floor was completely renovated in 2023 and is finished to a high standard. It includes a freestanding bathtub, a shower equipped with an infrared sunshower, a vanity unit, a mirror with integrated heating and lighting, and a toilet. This bathroom offers a comfortable and modern space for relaxation and personal care.

The rear garden is a particular highlight of this property and has been designed to function as an outdoor living and wellness area. Multiple distinct zones have been created within the garden. There is a covered seating area with a wood-burning stove, allowing for outdoor enjoyment even during cooler evenings. A sunny terrace is surrounded by greenery, providing an ideal spot for warmer days.

The wellness facilities in the garden include a sauna and an outdoor shower. There is also a designated space where a jacuzzi can be installed, completing the home spa experience. The garden has been landscaped with a combination of planting, paving, and subtle changes in elevation that add visual interest. The sheltered position of the garden ensures a high degree of privacy from neighboring properties.

In terms of energy efficiency, the property holds a B energy label. Twelve solar panels have been installed on the roof, contributing to reduced electricity costs. The property benefits from various insulation measures, including roof insulation, wall insulation, and double and HR++ glazing throughout. The window frames are made of plastic, which requires minimal maintenance. Solar-powered roller shutters are fitted to the skylights and to the windows on the upper floor. An electric awning and insect screens are also present.

The heating and hot water are provided by a Remeha gas-fired combination boiler that was installed in 2024 and is owned by the current owners. The meter cupboard has been expanded, and the pipes in the crawl space have been insulated. Security locks are fitted to the external doors.

The total living area measures approximately 119 square meters, with an additional 14 square meters of indoor storage space. There is 11 square meters of covered outdoor space and 2 square meters of external storage. The overall volume of the property is 535 cubic meters.
