Spacious and Move-in Ready Semi-Detached Home with Extension and Solar Panels in Brummen
Key Features
Upsides
- The property has undergone extensive renovations since 2019, including a large extension with a roof light, a new roof, underfloor heating, and the installation of 12 solar panels in 2023.
- Situated on a 324 m2 plot, the home offers a private east-facing garden, a large storage shed or former garage with an electric door, and parking on private land.
- The location is highly convenient and scenic, located in a child-friendly neighborhood close to schools, shops, the train station, and the natural beauty of the IJssel river floodplains.
Downsides
- The attic floor has limited standing height, restricting its use primarily to storage or a play area rather than a full liveable room.
- Access to the attic is via a spiral staircase, which can be less practical for moving furniture or items compared to a standard staircase.
- Although significant energy-saving measures have been taken, the official energy label is currently D and outdated, which may affect the perceived efficiency until updated.
Description
This move-in ready residence located at Talmastraat offers an exceptional amount of space both inside and outside. Situated on a generous plot of 324 square meters, this semi-detached home features a surprisingly spacious and playful layout, a large storage unit which was formerly a garage, and a driveway providing ample parking. The property is positioned in a spacious, green, and child-friendly residential neighborhood where residents can enjoy a quiet and comfortable living environment.
The layout of the home has been carefully designed to maximize comfort and functionality. Upon entering the ground floor, one is welcomed into an entrance hall that provides access to the stairs leading to the upper floor, a cellar cupboard, a toilet, and the kitchen. The kitchen itself is installed in a practical corner configuration and comes fully equipped with modern appliances including a combination oven, a ceramic hob, an extractor hood, and a dishwasher.
A standout feature of this home is the substantial rear extension which serves as a vital connecting space between the kitchen and the living room. This extension is flooded with natural light thanks to the inclusion of a roof light and features double sliding doors that open directly onto the garden. This creates an inviting and bright living area that offers a delightful view of the outdoor space. During soft and summer days, these sliding doors allow the outdoor atmosphere to be brought inside, effectively blurring the line between the interior and exterior living spaces.
The entire living room and the extension benefit from underfloor heating, ensuring a comfortable temperature throughout the year. The flooring has been thoughtfully designed with a tile floor in the extension that flows seamlessly into an oak wooden floor in the living room. The living space is large enough to accommodate a substantial sofa near the wood-burning fireplace, while still offering plenty of room for a desk, a play area, or even a piano, making it a versatile space for various family activities.
From the extension, there is access to a utility room which serves as a pantry and houses the connections for laundry appliances. A loft ladder in the utility room provides access to a large attic storage space. It is worth noting that the utility room forms part of the former garage structure. The front section of this structure is still in use as a garage or bicycle storage and is equipped with an electric door. This versatile area offers abundant possibilities for use as a hobby space, storage, or it could even be converted into a home office or an additional ground floor bedroom, subject to the necessary permissions.
Moving to the first floor, the layout accommodates three well-proportioned bedrooms and a modern bathroom. The bathroom is fitted with a walk-in shower and a washbasin furniture unit. Additionally, there is a separate toilet room on this floor which includes a small fountain. The two bedrooms located at the rear of the house are fitted with practical fixed wardrobe space, enhancing the storage capacity within these rooms.
A spiral staircase leads from the first floor to the second floor, which serves as an attic level. While the standing height on this level is limited, it functions perfectly as a play area for children or as a spacious storage room for seasonal items and belongings.
The outdoor space of this property is equally impressive. The backyard is located on the east, offering a pleasant exposure to the morning sun. It provides a high degree of privacy and has a very enjoyable size. The garden has been landscaped with a large lawn, flower borders, and multiple terraces, providing various spots to sit and relax throughout the day. The entire garden is fully enclosed and secluded, making it a safe play area for children and pets and a wonderful place to enjoy the outdoors in complete peace.
Parking at the property is convenient with space available on the private driveway at the front of the house. Additionally, there are public parking spaces in the immediate vicinity. Directly in front of the house is a large public green area, ensuring an open and green view from the property.
A significant aspect of this home is the extensive list of improvements and renovations that have been carried out since 2019. These updates add considerable value to the property. The extension with wooden window frames, sliding doors, and roof lights was added during this period. The roof of the property was completely renewed and fitted with a vapor barrier, while the former asbestos-containing roof sheathing was removed.
Furthermore, underfloor heating was installed on the ground floor, with the exception of the kitchen, utility room, and garage areas. The electrical meter cupboard was renewed to modern standards. The heating system is a Remeha central heating boiler which was installed in 2021. In terms of energy efficiency, the property is equipped with twelve solar panels which were installed in 2023.
The window frames are a mix of plastic and wooden frames, all fitted with insulating glass. Several windows are also fitted with electric shutters for added convenience and security. It is important to note that the current energy label is D and dates from 2019. The aforementioned changes and insulation measures have not yet been processed in this label, suggesting the actual energy efficiency is likely better than the current rating indicates. The property features wall insulation, floor insulation, and HR glass.
The location of the house is highly practical and desirable. The residence is situated a short distance from primary schools, shops, and the Brummen train station. This ensures that daily amenities and public transport options are easily accessible. Additionally, the beautiful countryside with forests and the floodplains of the IJssel river are just a short distance away. This creates a unique balance where peace, nature, and necessary facilities come together in a very pleasant way for the residents.
This surprising and spacious home offers a solid foundation for comfortable living. With its recent upgrades, flexible spaces, and prime location near both nature and amenities, it presents a great opportunity for potential buyers looking for a ready-to-move-in property in Brummen.
