Description
This corner house is situated in the Waterland district of Spijkenisse, a residential area that offers convenient access to various amenities. The property is located within a short distance of a pleasant shopping center, several schools, and recreational facilities, making it a practical choice for families or individuals who value proximity to daily necessities.
The house was originally built in 1976 and has a total living area of approximately 122 square meters spread across three floors. The plot measures 170 square meters, of which 90 square meters comprise the garden. The property is classified with energy label C and features roof insulation as part of its energy efficiency measures.
Upon entering the property, you arrive in the entrance hall which provides access to a sanitary room on the right side. This room contains a floating toilet and a small sink. The hallway leads further into the main living areas of the ground floor.
The living room is a generous space measuring approximately 32.2 square meters. It is finished with a tile floor and includes a built-in closet for additional storage. A door in the living room provides direct access to the rear garden, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living spaces.
Adjacent to the living room is the half-open kitchen, which measures approximately 8.3 square meters. The kitchen is currently equipped with a basic countertop and would benefit from modernization. An important feature to note is that the walls between the kitchen and living room are not load-bearing walls. This means that creating a more open plan living space would be relatively straightforward for buyers who wish to modernize the layout.
The rear garden is predominantly tiled and includes various green elements. It has a depth of 9 meters and a width of 10 meters, offering ample outdoor space. The garden features a freestanding stone storage shed and has a back entrance for convenient access. Additionally, there is a covered side section of the property that provides extra sheltered outdoor space. The garden faces north, which should be considered by buyers who prioritize maximum sunlight exposure in their outdoor areas.
The first floor of the property is accessed via a staircase from the ground floor. The landing provides access to three bedrooms, all of which have generous dimensions. The largest bedroom measures approximately 14.3 square meters, followed by the second bedroom at 12.4 square meters, and the third bedroom at 8.9 square meters. These rooms offer flexibility for use as bedrooms, home offices, or hobby spaces depending on the needs of the occupants.
The bathroom on this floor measures approximately 4.4 square meters and is largely tiled. It is equipped with a toilet, a shower enclosure, and a vanity unit with sink. A second separate toilet is located on the ground floor, providing convenient facilities across the living areas.
The second floor is reached via another staircase and features a spacious landing area. This landing houses the central heating boiler and provides a practical space for laundry appliances with a washing machine connection. The fourth bedroom is located on this floor and measures approximately 7.7 square meters. This room has a skylight, allowing natural light to enter the space. This floor could also potentially be used as additional storage or could be reconfigured depending on the needs of the new owners.
The property is heated by a gas-fired combination boiler, specifically an HR-107 model that was installed in 2021. This relatively new installation provides efficient heating and hot water for the household. The boiler is owned by the current proprietor and will transfer with the property.
It is important to note that the property requires renovation work. The current owner has indicated that the house needs updating and refreshing, which is reflected in the asking price. This presents an opportunity for buyers who are looking for a property they can customize to their own tastes and requirements, though they should factor in the additional costs and effort that renovation will entail.
The ground lease for this property has been perpetually paid off, which means there are no ongoing ground lease payments to consider. This is a significant financial benefit as it removes a recurring expense that applies to many properties in the Netherlands.
Potential buyers should be aware of several specific conditions that apply to this property. An age and non-resident clause is applicable, as is a requirement to use the project notary for the transaction. The property comes with a perpetual self-occupation requirement, meaning that the owner must occupy the property themselves and cannot rent it out to tenants. This restriction also applies to subsequent owners when the property is sold in the future. Occupation or rental by a first-degree blood relative or relative by marriage is considered owner occupation under these terms.
Additionally, an anti-speculation clause applies for a period of two years. This means that the property cannot be sold within two years after signing the deed of delivery. This restriction will be included in both the purchase agreement and the deed of delivery.
The property is being sold as part of a selling-off project, which explains some of the specific conditions attached to the sale. Buyers should ensure they understand all these conditions before proceeding with a purchase.
When purchasing this property, the transfer will take place within six weeks. Prospective buyers must demonstrate that the purchase price is financially feasible for them. This can be shown through a written advice from a qualified and recognized financial institution or advisor. The property is purchased on the open market, and any renovations or additional financing for improvements are arranged by the buyer without additional conditions from the seller.
When the time comes to sell the property in the future, the owner is free to choose their own selling agent and determine the sale price. The property would be sold on the open market, subject to the ongoing self-occupation requirement that transfers to the next owner.
The floor plans and measurements provided are indicative and should be verified by prospective buyers. The property offers a substantial amount of living space for the asking price, with four bedrooms providing flexibility for various household configurations. The large garden adds valuable outdoor living space, and the corner position of the house provides additional light and privacy compared to mid-terrace properties.

Exterior Style
Traditional Historic
The house was built in 1976, which is not considered a traditional or historic architectural period.
Early 20th Century
Built in 1976, so it does not represent an early 20th-century style.
Post War Functional
Built in 1976, it fits the post-war functional style designed for mass housing to accommodate population growth.
Modernist
While built in the late 20th century, it is described as a standard corner house needing renovation, without notable modernist architectural features.
Newly Build
The property is listed as 'Bestaande bouw' (existing construction) from 1976 and explicitly needs renovation.
Kitchen
Kitchen Island
The kitchen is only 8.3 m² and described as having a 'simple countertop'. An island is not possible in this space.
Open Plan Kitchen
The description states it is a 'half open kitchen' and notes that 'it is easy to create an open space', implying it is currently not fully open plan.
Pantry
No pantry is mentioned, and the kitchen size (8.3 m²) with a simple layout makes it unlikely.
Build In Coffee Maker
The kitchen is described as 'simple' and in need of renovation, which contradicts the presence of a luxury appliance like a built-in coffee maker.
Boiling Water Tap
The kitchen is described as 'simple' and in need of renovation, making a premium fixture like a boiling water tap highly improbable.
Downdraft Extractor
The kitchen has a 'simple countertop' and needs renovation. Downdraft extractors are modern, high-end features not found in basic kitchens.
Shared Kitchen
The property is a single-family home (eengezinswoning), so the kitchen is private.
Design Kitchen
Explicitly described as a 'simple countertop' (eenvoudig keukenblad) and in need of renovation.
New Kitchen
The property was built in 1976 and the listing explicitly states the house needs a makeover (opknapbeurt nodig).

The listing mentions a built-in closet (inbouwkast) and an external storage space of 6 m², but no dedicated internal storage room.
Garage
There is no mention of a garage in the detailed description or features list.
Automatic Garage Door
The property does not have a garage, so it cannot have an automatic garage door.

Rules
Short Term Rentals Allowed

Long Term Rentals Allowed
The listing explicitly prohibits all forms of renting, including for subsequent owners.
Owners Association
This is a corner house (hoekwoning) in a residential neighborhood. No VvE (owners association) is mentioned anywhere in the listing. Standalone houses in the Netherlands typically do not have VvE unless shared elements exist.
Leasehold
The listing states 'Erfpacht eeuwigdurend afgekocht' meaning the ground lease has been perpetually bought off. There are no ongoing leasehold payments.
Other Rules
Multiple additional rules: perpetual self-occupation obligation (eeuwigdurende zelfbewoningsplicht), 2-year anti-speculation clause prohibiting sale, old age and non-resident clause (ouderdom en niet bewonersclausule), project notary requirement, 6-week delivery period, proof of financial viability required for purchase.
Safety & Accessibility
Elevator
This is a 3-story corner townhouse (hoekwoning) built in 1976. Such properties do not have elevators.
Private Entrance
This is a corner townhouse (hoekwoning), which is a type of single-family home with its own direct entrance, not an apartment.
Automatic Gate
No automatic gate is mentioned. The property has a backyard with a side entrance (achterom) but no gate is described.
Gated Community
The property is in the Waterland neighborhood of Spijkenisse, which is a regular residential area with no indication of being a gated community.
Wheelchair Accessible
The property has 3 floors accessible only by stairs with no elevator. The ground floor has a floating toilet and standard layout. A 1976 home requiring renovation would not meet modern wheelchair accessibility standards.
Utilities & Technical
Washing Machine Connections
The listing explicitly states 'een handige ruimte met wasmachine aansluiting' (a handy space with washing machine connection) on the second floor.
Laundry Room
The listing mentions 'een handige ruimte met wasmachine aansluiting' on the second floor landing, which could be interpreted as a laundry space, though it's not explicitly called a laundry room.
Dryer
No mention of a dryer anywhere in the listing.
Smart Home
No smart home features are mentioned in the listing. The property is from 1976 and described as needing renovation.
Water Softener
No mention of a water softener. Water softeners are very rare in Dutch homes as the water hardness is generally acceptable.
Energy Efficiency
Solar Panels
No mention of solar panels anywhere in the listing. The listing describes the CV-ketel as the heating system without any reference to solar energy generation.
Triple Glazing
Not mentioned and highly unlikely for a 1976 home that needs renovation. Triple glazing would typically be highlighted as a selling point if present.
Roof Insulation
Explicitly listed under 'Isolatie' as 'Dakisolatie' (roof insulation) in the features section.
Heat Pump
The listing specifies a 'HR-107 ketel (gas gestookt combiketel uit 2021)' as the heating system, which is a gas-fired high-efficiency combi boiler, not a heat pump.
Home Battery
No mention of a home battery system. Given the home was built in 1976, needs renovation, and has no solar panels mentioned, a home battery is very unlikely.
Other Energy Efficiency Measures
The listing mentions roof insulation (dakisolatie) and an HR-107 high-efficiency gas combi boiler installed in 2021, which is a more efficient boiler than older models. The home has an energy label C. However, the listing notes the property needs renovation, suggesting limited additional energy efficiency upgrades have been made to this 1976 home.
