Spacious Extended Corner Home with Five Bedrooms in Family-Friendly Maassluis Neighborhood
Key Features
Upsides
- The property offers five bedrooms across three floors, providing exceptional flexibility for growing families, home workers, or those needing guest accommodation.
- The significant extension at the rear combined with the side widening of this corner home has created a remarkably spacious living area that exceeds typical expectations for this property type.
- Recent maintenance investments include roof renewal in 2023 and facade treatment in 2020, indicating responsible ownership and reduced immediate maintenance concerns for buyers.
- The Molenwijk location provides a genuinely family friendly environment with schools, shops, sports facilities, and public transport all within convenient proximity.
- Practical features include underfloor heating on the ground floor, a fireplace, two separate storage buildings, and solar panels that contribute to reduced energy costs.
Downsides
- The CV boiler dates from 2005, making it nearly twenty years old and likely approaching or exceeding its typical useful lifespan, which may require replacement in the near future.
- With only four solar panels installed, the renewable energy capacity is relatively modest for a home of this size and may not significantly offset electricity costs.
- The energy label C rating indicates moderate energy efficiency, and the property relies on double glazing rather than more modern high efficiency insulation solutions.
- Parking is limited to public on street options with no private driveway or garage, which could be inconvenient for households with multiple vehicles.
- The rear garden faces northeast, which means direct sunlight exposure may be limited particularly during afternoon and evening hours when many families prefer to use outdoor spaces.
Description
Located in the sought after Molenwijk district of Maassluis, this corner residence at Stadsmolen 2 presents a generously proportioned family home with six rooms including five bedrooms. The property has been thoughtfully extended both at the rear and to the side, resulting in considerably more living space than one might initially expect from the exterior. Built in 1985, this single family home offers a practical and comfortable layout that will appeal to families seeking room to grow.
The Molenwijk neighborhood is well regarded for its peaceful atmosphere and excellent family facilities. Residents benefit from numerous play areas for children, and the location provides convenient access to schools, supermarkets, sports facilities, and public transportation options. All daily necessities are within easy reach, making this an eminently practical location for family life.
Approaching the property, a maintained front garden leads to the main entrance. The hallway provides access to the meter cupboard, a toilet room with a small washbasin, and the staircase to the first floor. This entrance area sets the tone for the practical organization found throughout the home.
The ground floor living area is a particular highlight of this property. The extension at the rear measures approximately 2.5 meters deep, while the side widening adds additional width to the already corner positioned home. This combination has created a living room of exceptional proportions that offers numerous arrangement possibilities. Whether one desires a large seating area, a separate play zone for children, a reading corner, or a home office space, the room accommodates these needs with ease. Large windows and a sliding door at the rear ensure abundant natural light enters the space, creating an open and pleasant atmosphere throughout the day.
The ground floor features a tiled floor with underfloor heating, providing consistent warmth and comfort during the colder months. A fireplace adds a focal point to the room and offers supplementary heating along with a cozy ambiance. A practical understairs cupboard provides useful storage space for household items or provisions.
Situated at the front of the property, the kitchen adopts an L shaped configuration. Finished in neutral tones, the kitchen comes equipped with various built in appliances including a five burner cooktop, extractor hood, dishwasher, combination oven and microwave, refrigerator, and a stainless steel sink. The open connection to the living area ensures that those preparing meals can remain engaged with family activities.
The first floor accommodates three bedrooms and the main bathroom. At the rear, two bedrooms are positioned, with the larger of these serving as the master bedroom. This room offers ample space for a double bed and generous wardrobe furniture. The second rear bedroom is similarly well proportioned and could serve as a childrens room, home office, or guest bedroom as needs dictate.
The third bedroom occupies the front of the property and benefits from the corner position through an additional side window, which enhances natural light intake and creates a pleasant bright environment.
The bathroom on this floor is fully equipped with a bathtub, shower cubicle, a second toilet, and a vanity unit. This configuration provides all necessary facilities for a family without the need to descend to the ground floor during the night.
The second floor reveals further surprising spatial generosity. The landing area houses a practical laundry room with sufficient space for both a washing machine and a tumble dryer. The CV boiler, dating from 2005, is also located here along with various built in storage cupboards. The eaves spaces have been utilized to create additional storage areas, allowing household items to be kept neatly out of sight.
Two additional bedrooms complete the accommodation on this floor. Both rooms are suitable for use as bedrooms, home offices, hobby spaces, or guest rooms. This fifth bedroom makes the property particularly well suited to larger families or those who require dedicated workspace at home.
The roof features four solar panels, and the flat roof section was renewed with bitumen roofing in 2023, contributing to the overall maintenance condition of the property.
The rear garden is accessible via the sliding door from the living room or through a practical side entrance. The outdoor space has been laid out with a combination of paving and planting, offering room to create multiple seating areas. The positioning allows for enjoyable outdoor living during warmer months. A water connection at the rear facade provides convenience for garden maintenance.
A notable practical feature is the presence of two storage structures. A storage shed at the rear of the garden provides space for garden tools and equipment, while a second stone built storage area at the side of the property offers secure storage for bicycles or additional belongings.
The property has a living area of approximately 137 square meters and stands on a plot of 169 square meters of freehold land. The energy label is rated C, and the property features double glazing. The facades were treated with impregnation, sandblasted, and rejointed in 2020, demonstrating ongoing maintenance attention.
Transfer is by agreement with availability expected in September. As the property is older than twenty years, a standard age clause will be included in the purchase agreement. All information provided has been compiled with care, though the accuracy depends largely on third party sources and should be verified by prospective purchasers.
