Charming family home with garden in popular Dichterswijk near Utrecht centre

This attractive and well-maintained mid-terrace house was constructed around 1910 and offers approximately 112 square metres of living space across three floors, together with a pleasant city garden situated on a peaceful plot of 81 square metres in full ownership. The property is positioned in the Spieghelstraat, one of the most characterful streets in the popular Dichterswijk district, a neighbourhood that combines the atmosphere of a village with the advantages of being within easy reach of Utrecht city centre and Central Station.

The Dichterswijk district is known for its authentic pre-war architecture consisting predominantly of family houses and small-scale apartment buildings. The area enjoys an excellent reputation thanks to its convenient access to major road connections while maintaining a cosy, village-like atmosphere. Residents benefit from a diverse range of local shops, supermarkets, and pleasant cafés and restaurants. The historic Mariaplaats, the Ledig Erf, the Twijnstraat, and Rotsoord are all within walking distance, offering additional dining, shopping, and leisure opportunities. Both Utrecht Central Station and station Vaartsche Rijn can be reached by bicycle within approximately five minutes, and the city ring road is accessible by car in the same timeframe. The location also provides convenient rail connections to Amsterdam and Schiphol Airport, both reachable within thirty minutes by train.

The ground floor comprises an entrance hall with the meter cabinet and access to the bright and spacious living room, which features a ceiling height of approximately 2.95 metres and large windows that flood the space with natural daylight. The living room is finished with sleek plastered walls and a beautiful oak wood floor, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The open plan layout connects the living area to the dining space, forming a comfortable and practical living zone. Patio doors from the living room provide direct access to the rear garden.

The modern kitchen is located at the rear of the property and is fitted with grey floor tiles and a range of Siemens built-in appliances. A door from the kitchen also leads to the garden. The kitchen is situated adjacent to a separate toilet.

The rear garden faces northeast, measures approximately 9.5 metres in depth, and enjoys sunlight for the majority of the day thanks to the positioning of the extension. The garden has been thoughtfully landscaped and includes a wooden storage shed, providing ample space for outdoor seating and relaxation.

The first floor features a generous landing with a separate toilet and stairs leading to the second floor. Two well-proportioned bedrooms are located on this level. The bedroom at the front of the house is spacious and bright, while the bedroom at the rear overlooks the garden and is equally pleasant in size. Both bedrooms are finished with neat walls and a laminate floor.

The second floor has been intelligently designed with a versatile landing area that accommodates the central heating boiler, washing machine and dryer connections, and offers substantial storage space in the loft void. A roof window ensures this floor remains pleasantly bright. The bathroom on this floor is fully equipped with a bath, separate shower enclosure, washbasin, and a designer radiator, offering comfortable facilities for daily use.

The third bedroom on this floor is a generously sized room positioned at the front of the property, featuring a dormer window that creates additional space and excellent natural light. This room is finished with a laminate floor and offers various configuration possibilities, whether as a bedroom, home office, or hobby room.

The property has been well maintained and modernised over the years. Nearly all window frames were replaced in 2023 with HR++ double glazing, the flat roof was recovered in 2024, and the fuse box has been upgraded to modern standards. The house features plastered walls and quality floor finishes throughout, while the large window openings and high ceilings contribute to a spacious and light-filled living environment.

Heating and hot water are provided by a Vaillant ecoTEC plus combination boiler from 2013, which is owned rather than rented. The property has an energy label E, valid until December 2035. While this rating is lower than ideal, the presence of HR++ glazing, roof insulation, and floor insulation has been noted. According to the listing, the gas consumption for this four-person household does not exceed average levels, likely because the property benefits from an additional external wall on one side.

A foundation risk assessment has been carried out, and the outcome indicates that the risk is assessed as low. This report is available in the attachments for interested buyers to review.

Parking is available on the public road in front of the property, available through paid parking or a resident permit scheme. Transfer of ownership is to be agreed between parties.
