This well-maintained corner house from 2001 is located on a attractive spot in the Gaatkensoog neighborhood of Barendrecht. The property offers a corner position, a sunny backyard of 94 square meters facing south, and a location directly adjacent to the water.

The Gaatkensoog neighborhood is known for its green and family-friendly character. Residents here enjoy a unique living environment surrounded by water and nature. The area features spacious homes with varied architecture and plenty of natural light. Daily amenities such as shops, schools, and recreational areas like the Carnisse Grienden are within easy reach. The A15 and A29 motorways provide excellent connections to surrounding cities, allowing residents to live in a peaceful setting while having the city within convenient distance.

Accessibility is a strong point of this location. The Van Beuningenhaven can be reached on foot in approximately eight minutes. For public transportation, the tram stops at Carnisselande or Middeldijkerplein are accessible by foot or bicycle, and there are several bus connections in the area. By bicycle, the center of Barendrecht is about fifteen minutes away. By car, you can reach the A15 or A29 motorway within five minutes, putting Rotterdam or Dordrecht within easy commuting distance.

Upon arriving at Terschellingeroog 1, you can park your car directly in front of the door. The property features a self-designed front garden that adds a welcoming touch to the entrance. Behind the front door, you enter a spacious hallway with ample room for coats and jackets, access to the meter cupboard, and a modern toilet. From the hallway, double doors lead to the living area.

The living room covers approximately 35 square meters and benefits greatly from the corner position of the house. An additional side extension with a large window allows daylight to enter from two sides, and from the living room you have a view of the green garden. The extension is positioned at an angle, which creates an interesting architectural detail and provides an ideal spot for a dining table, as beautiful light streams in from the side window. Along the long wall, there is ample space for a generous seating area for watching television or socializing with friends. Double doors open to the garden.

The open kitchen is arranged in a U-shape and is well-integrated with the living room. The kitchen has a somewhat rural character while being very practically arranged. Along the back wall, the refrigerator is built in with a combi-oven above it, next to an apothecary cabinet and additional lower and upper cabinets. The side wall features upper cabinets and lower cabinets with an integrated sink and mixer tap, along with a separate Quooker instant boiling water tap. Towards the living room, there are more cabinets with a countertop housing the electric cooktop and a large wok burner. A bar area provides a pleasant spot to sit with a drink or a cup of coffee in the morning.

The backyard is a particular highlight of this property. The garden slopes gradually towards the water and is divided into several distinct areas. It begins with a large terrace where a sizeable garden table can be placed for outdoor dining. Then there is a section with a beautiful pergola where you can sit out of the sun during summer months, partly due to the planting above and partly because of five attractive cypress trees that create an almost Mediterranean atmosphere. A small lawn area borders the cypresses, after which a few steps lead down to a spot right by the water, perfect for enjoying a glass of wine at the end of the day. The variety of greenery makes you feel like you are in nature rather than in a residential area.

A storage shed for garden equipment is located in the backyard. Inside the living room, a staircase cupboard has been incorporated under the stairs for storing provisions.

The first floor is accessible via a staircase from the hallway. The spacious landing provides access to two bedrooms and the bathroom. The main bedroom at the rear measures approximately 20 square meters and offers space for a double bed, a large wardrobe, and a nice vanity table. The second bedroom is approximately 15 square meters and is ideal as a children's room, guest room, or home office.

The generous bathroom has a wellness feel and is fully equipped with a bathtub with spotlights above, a separate shower, a vanity unit, and a second toilet. All facilities are present to start the day fresh and end it peacefully. Next to the bathroom is a laundry room with space for a washing machine and dryer, neatly kept out of sight.

At the front of the property, there is also a large storage space of approximately 6 square meters for storing bicycles. This storage is accessible from the outside.
