Spacious and Sustainable Detached Home with Large Plot in Urk
Key Features
Description
Located in the town of Urk, Steenbank 3 presents a detached residential property set on a generous parcel of land measuring 716 square meters. The property was originally constructed in 1979 and has been well maintained over the years. With a living area of approximately 216 square meters and a total volume of 906 cubic meters, this home offers considerable space for a family or individuals seeking room to live and work comfortably.
The property holds an energy label A+ rating, which reflects the energy conscious improvements that have been implemented. These include the installation of solar panels on the roof and a pellet stove that is connected to a boiler tank for heating purposes. Additionally, partial floor heating contributes to the overall energy efficiency of the home. These features work together to help reduce monthly energy costs while maintaining a comfortable indoor climate throughout the year.
Upon entering the property through the main entrance, you are welcomed into a spacious hallway that provides access to the staircase leading to the upper floor as well as a toilet room. The ground floor layout has been arranged to offer flexibility in how the space is used. At the front of the house, there is a sizeable room that is currently being utilized as a home office. This room could equally serve as a bedroom, playroom, or practice space for those who work from home. The presence of this flexible room on the ground floor adds to the overall functionality of the property.
The kitchen forms the central hub of the ground floor and has been designed as a spacious open plan cooking area. It features a practical layout that includes a kitchen island, providing ample workspace and a natural gathering point for family members or guests. Adjacent to the kitchen lies a utility room that offers additional storage space and includes a rear entrance to the property, adding convenience for daily comings and goings.
The living room is positioned at the rear of the ground floor and benefits from good natural light exposure. The room is sufficiently sized to accommodate both a comfortable seating area and a dedicated dining space, making it suitable for everyday family life as well as entertaining visitors.
Moving to the first floor, the property reveals an exceptionally spacious layout with five bedrooms. These rooms have been arranged in a practical manner and several of them feature built in closet space, which helps maximize usable floor area while providing organized storage solutions. The first floor landing connects all the bedrooms in a flowing and accessible way.
The bathroom on this floor has been finished to a complete standard and includes a bathtub, a double vanity unit, and a toilet. These fixtures provide the essential amenities expected in a modern family home. Furthermore, the first floor benefits from the addition of a balcony, which offers an outdoor space to enjoy fresh air and views without having to descend to the garden level.
The exterior of the property is equally noteworthy. The 716 square meter plot accommodates the main residence along with additional outbuildings that present numerous possibilities for use. These supplementary structures could be configured as a home office separate from the living spaces, a hobby workshop, a storage area, or adapted for other purposes depending on the needs of the occupants. This feature makes the property particularly attractive for those who wish to combine residential living with running a business from home or who simply require extra space for pursuits and storage.
The garden has been maintained in a tidy condition and surrounds the property, providing privacy and outdoor living opportunities. A wide driveway offers ample parking space for multiple vehicles, which is a practical advantage for households with several cars or for those who regularly receive visitors.
Urk itself is a distinctive location in the Netherlands, known for its fishing heritage and close knit community character. The town offers various local amenities including shops, schools, and recreational facilities. The surrounding area provides opportunities for outdoor activities and the broader region is well connected for those who need to commute to other parts of the country for work or leisure.
The property is being offered at an asking price of 799,500 euros, which translates to approximately 3,701 euros per square meter of living space. It should be noted that the listing indicates that the sale is subject to award, meaning that while the property is marketed, the seller retains the right to select a preferred buyer from among any offers received.
In summary, Steenbank 3 in Urk represents a substantial detached family home that combines generous internal dimensions with a large plot and supplementary outbuildings. The energy efficient features including solar panels and pellet stove heating contribute to lower running costs, while the flexible room arrangements both inside the main house and in the external buildings allow the property to be adapted to suit various lifestyle requirements and working arrangements.
