Key Features
Upsides
- The property is highly energy efficient featuring Energy Label A, HR++ glazing, and 6 owned solar panels installed recently in 2023.
- The home offers a generous amount of space with 5 bedrooms, making it ideal for families, located directly behind a playground in a child friendly neighborhood.

The property features five bedrooms, making it highly suitable for families. The residence includes a neat semi open kitchen and a practical utility room which is currently used as a laundry space.

For additional comfort, the home features air conditioning units installed in June 2022 and a heat pump boiler for the heating system.
Groote Kreek is known as a quiet residential area characterized by ample greenery and a pleasant atmosphere suitable for families. The position on the outskirts of Hulst ensures a peaceful living environment while keeping daily amenities within easy reach. The city center of Hulst offers a vibrant range of shops, dining establishments, educational facilities, and healthcare services. Furthermore, the location provides excellent accessibility to Belgium, with Antwerp reachable within approximately twenty minutes and Gent within forty minutes, making it a convenient base for cross border activities.
The internal layout of the house is designed to maximize space and functionality. The ground floor features an entrance hall that provides access to the meter cupboard and a toilet room equipped with a fountain. From the hall, one enters the through living room, which allows for a natural flow of light. Adjacent to the living room is the utility room or pantry, which serves as a laundry room and is fitted with connections for white goods. The semi open kitchen is arranged in a corner setup and dates from approximately 2007, containing various built in appliances for daily use.

This floor hosts three bedrooms, including a master bedroom with a French balcony that offers views over the playground located at the rear of the property. The bathroom is neatly tiled and fitted with a bathtub, a shower, and a washbasin, catering to the sanitary needs of the household.
The second floor provides access to the fourth and fifth bedrooms via a landing. One of these bedrooms offers access to a roof terrace, providing an outdoor space with views over the surrounding neighborhood. This additional floor adds significant versatility to the home, allowing for use as guest rooms, a home office, or hobby spaces.
Key features of this property include the generous amount of bedroom space, the specific location in the family friendly Groote Kreek area, and the immediate proximity to a playground. The technical specifications are robust, with full HR++ glazing, a high Energy Label A, and the presence of solar panels. The inclusion of air conditioning and a heat pump boiler adds to the modern comfort levels. The outdoor space consists of a south facing backyard with a private rear entrance and a stone storage shed, while the roof terrace on the second floor offers a unique vantage point. The combination of these features makes this property a distinctive option for those seeking a family home in Hulst.
