Key Features
Description
This fully renovated and energy efficient semi-detached residence is located in the Schrijverswijk neighborhood of Heerhugowaard. The property is situated at Ter Braaklaan 14 and offers a spacious living environment on a 218 square meter plot. The asking price is 500,000 euro, costs to be paid by the buyer. The house has a living area of 135 square meters and features three bedrooms.
The home has undergone extensive modernization between 2023 and 2026, resulting in a turnkey family house. It is ready for immediate occupancy and boasts high-quality finishes throughout. The living room, combined with the open kitchen, covers an area of over 55 square meters. The property includes a deep and large backyard facing the sunny southwest, a stone storage shed with attic, a carport, and additional parking on its own ground. The energy efficiency is supported by Energy Label B and comprehensive insulation.
Significant improvements have been made to enhance comfort and sustainability. Floor insulation was installed in February 2025 up to the beginning of the extension, and the entire ground floor is equipped with floor heating. PVC flooring has been installed on all floors, featuring a herringbone pattern on the ground level. Interior doors were replaced in 2025 with elegant panel doors and a glass door on the ground floor. The wooden staircase to the first floor is well maintained. The staircase to the second floor has been finished with sound-dampening carpet in 2025.
Heating and hot water are provided by a HR (HRE 36/30 A) CV-ketel installed in 2023, which was recently serviced at the end of 2025. The kitchen was renewed in 2023 and features AEG brand appliances, and the bathroom was also renovated in 2023. The roofing of the extension was replaced at the end of 2025. Various plastic frames with HR++ glass have been installed between 2023 and 2026, including in the toilet, kitchen, next to the front door, bathroom, and in the roof windows of the laundry room and front bedroom on the attic. The plastic frames of the dormer window, installed in 2025, also feature HR++ glass. Cavity wall insulation was added at the end of 2024 on both the front and rear facades. The rear facade was repointed in 2024, and the rear wall was cleaned and impregnated in 2025. Some plastic frames with HR glass were already installed in 1998 in the rear living room, front first floor, and rear attic.
The modern electrical installation includes renewed sockets and light switches from 2023, a very extensive fuse box with 3-phase power suitable for the charging point, kitchen, and doorbell. The charging point was installed in 2025 and is available for takeover.
The layout of the property is practical and spacious. Access is via the private grounds which offer three parking spaces including the carport. The entrance leads to a hall with wardrobe space, a separate toilet with a floating toilet and washbasin, and the fuse box. The hall gives access to the generous L-shaped living room with an extended living area. This large living room allows for flexible arrangement, with ample space for a large dining area, a cozy sitting area with a gas fireplace, and a second sitting or working corner. There is a storage closet under the stairs and a second storage cupboard with charming louvre doors.
From the living room, French doors provide access to the large, sunny, and well-maintained backyard with a rear entrance. The garden enjoys sunshine from approximately 9 in the morning until late in the evening, around 9 to 9.30 PM. The large windows on the rear facade are equipped with external awning blinds. The living space connects to the spacious luxury open kitchen with a cooking island.
The kitchen, installed in 2023, is stylish and features quality AEG built-in appliances. These include an induction hob with integrated extraction, a Quooker boiling water tap, a combination microwave and oven, a coffee machine, a dishwasher, a separate large fridge, a separate freezer, and plenty of drawers and storage cupboards. The living room is finished with high-quality materials, including the luxury kitchen, the herringbone PVC floor with floor heating, sleek plastered walls and ceilings, and large windows.
The staircase in the hall leads to the upper floors. The first floor landing provides access to two large bedrooms. The master bedroom is very large as it formerly comprised two bedrooms. This room can easily be converted back into two rooms if desired, as the placement of the dormer window takes this into account. The dormer window from 2025 is equipped with shutters. The centrally located luxury bathroom from 2023 features a shower corner with two shower taps, a double washbasin, a second toilet, a towel radiator, mechanical ventilation, and a bathroom window for natural ventilation.
The second floor landing gives access to a storage space with the modern HR-CV boiler, connections for a washing machine and dryer, and a large third bedroom with its own walk-in closet. This bedroom has shutters on the rear side. Both upper floors are finished with PVC floors and well-maintained walls and ceilings. The adjacent stone storage shed with attic offers about 14 square meters of storage space and has electricity.
The property is located in a green and quiet residential court in the Schrijversbuurt, within walking distance of the Middenwaard shopping center. The location offers excellent amenities. One of the largest covered shopping centers in the Netherlands is just a stone's throw away, offering a wide range of shops, various supermarkets, hospitality venues, a Vue cinema, a bowling alley, and a theater. The town hall of Dijk en Waard is within walking or cycling distance, as are the public library, various schools, childcare, sports facilities, a swimming pool, medical facilities, and the city park.
The historic center of Heerhugowaard is easily accessible via the nearby Middenweg. Accessibility by car is very good, with the ring road nearby providing connections to Alkmaar, Amsterdam, Haarlem, and Hoorn. Public transport is also within walking distance.
The property has several special features. It is a luxury and stylishly renovated family home. The living area is 135.3 square meters according to NEN 2580 measurement. The carport covers 16 square meters and the storage shed is 7.7 square meters plus a loft of about 6 square meters. The plot is 218 square meters of private land. Energy Label B is valid until February 18, 2036. There are guarantees present for the dormer window, roof windows, toilet and bathroom window at the front, water drainage at the front, and the roofing of the extension. The gas fireplace has never been used by the current owners; the gas ignition did not function. It may be possible to repair this. Parking is available on the private grounds with two spaces in front of the house and the carport as a third space. Visitors can park for free in the street with a permit arranged by the owner. Otherwise, parking is with a permit, a blue disc for 1.5 hours on Stationsweg, or paid parking at the shopping center. The rear part of the garden consists of a 3-meter-deep strip of municipal land that is rented by the owners for about 25 euro per year, or 100 euro if paid for five years at once. This land is probably still available for purchase; two years ago the asking price was 5,000 euro. Delivery of the property is in consultation.
