Upsides

  • Spacious living area of 157 m² for a terraced house, offering more space than typical properties of this type
  • Southeast-facing garden provides good sun exposure throughout the day from morning onwards
  • Family-friendly Elsweide neighborhood with parks, playgrounds, schools, and shops within close proximity

  • Only public parking available, with no private parking space or garage on the property
  • Only three bedrooms despite five total rooms, which may be limiting for larger families

Description

This terraced house is located in the Elsweide neighborhood of Arnhem, an area known for its green and peaceful character. The property was built in 1968 and has a total living area of 157 square meters, which is notably spacious for this type of dwelling. The house is spread over two living floors and features a practical layout that suits family living well.

Upon entering the property, visitors will notice the pleasant amount of natural light that fills the interior space. The ground floor accommodates an open kitchen that is equipped with various modern conveniences. This kitchen connects seamlessly with the generous living room, creating a fluid and open living space. A sliding patio door in the living room provides direct access to the garden, which enhances the feeling of space and creates a smooth transition between indoor and outdoor living areas.

Also situated on the ground floor is a practical utility room that offers additional storage space, helping to keep the main living areas organized and clutter-free. This utility room adds to the overall functionality of the home.

The first floor contains three bedrooms, providing ample sleeping accommodation for a family. Two of these bedrooms have access to an internal balcony located at the rear of the property, offering a pleasant spot to sit outside and enjoy some fresh air. The bathroom on this floor is fully finished and includes a toilet, corner bathtub, and shower. Additionally, there is a separate toilet on this level for added convenience.

The rear garden faces southeast, which means it benefits from a favorable sun position throughout the day. This orientation allows residents to enjoy morning sun early in the day. The garden currently features a lawn area and a terrace, providing plenty of space for relaxation, children's play, or outdoor dining. The description notes that the garden offers potential for further personalization, whether through additional seating areas, more planting, or creating an atmospheric outdoor lounge space.

The Elsweide neighborhood is characterized by its green and quiet atmosphere. There are various parks, play facilities, and walking opportunities in the immediate vicinity, making it particularly suitable for families with children. Daily amenities such as shops, schools, and sports facilities are located within easy reach. The Presikhaaf shopping center is nearby, and the center of Arnhem can be reached within approximately ten minutes. The center of Velp, with its shops and dining options, is also easily accessible by bicycle or car.

In terms of accessibility, the property is conveniently located relative to major roads including the A12 and A325 motorways. This makes cities such as Nijmegen and Utrecht readily reachable. Public transport options, including both train and bus connections, are available within a short distance from the home.

The property has a flat roof covered with bituminous roofing material. It features double glazing and wall insulation, contributing to the energy efficiency of the home. The current energy label is C. Heating and hot water are provided by a Remeha Avanta gas-fired central heating boiler that was installed in 2015 and is owned by the property.

The total plot size is 277 square meters. In addition to the main dwelling, there is external storage space in the form of a detached wooden shed measuring 21 square meters. The property has a built volume of 555 cubic meters. Parking is available on public roads in the area.

The cadastral designation for this property is ARNHEM T 1621, and it is held in full ownership. The asking price is 550,000 euros, with the buyer responsible for the transfer costs (kosten koper). This translates to approximately 3,503 euros per square meter of living space.

The house features mechanical ventilation, a chimney flue, and the previously mentioned sliding patio door as notable amenities. The combination of the spacious interior, practical layout, favorable garden orientation, and convenient location makes this property well-suited for families or anyone seeking comfortable living with all essential amenities within easy reach.
