Spacious Energy-Efficient Family Home with Water Views in Vathorst
Key Features
Upsides
- Excellent location with station Vathorst just a 2-minute walk away, providing convenient public transport connections to major cities.
- Energy-efficient A+++ rated home with no gas connection, equipped with a heat pump, floor heating, and solar panels for lower energy costs.
- Spacious layout with 5 bedrooms across 3 floors, offering flexibility for large families or those needing home office space.
- Direct views of the Laak waterway and proximity to recreational opportunities including boating, fishing, and cycling in the nearby polder landscape.
Downsides
- Only 3 solar panels for a 161 m² home seems limited for achieving significant electricity savings.
- The parking space is mandelig (jointly owned), meaning you share ownership of the parking terrain with neighbors rather than having a fully private parking arrangement.
- The garden at 55 m² is relatively modest for a 5-bedroom family home.
- Price per square meter at €4,503 is on the higher side for the Amersfoort area.
Description
This spacious family home is located in the popular Vathorst neighborhood in Amersfoort. The property was built in 2022 and offers a modern, energy-efficient living environment with the appearance of a classic townhouse. With a living area of 161 square meters spread over three floors, this residence provides ample space for families looking for comfort and sustainability in a central location in the Netherlands.
The ground floor of the property features a well-thought-out layout. Upon entering, you are welcomed by a hallway that includes a wardrobe area, the meter cupboard, and a toilet room equipped with a toilet and a small sink. From the hallway, you have access to the living area and the staircase leading to the upper floors. The living room is situated at the rear of the property and benefits from a door that opens directly to the garden, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection. The open kitchen is positioned at the front of the house and is arranged in a corner configuration. The kitchen comes with an induction cooktop, an extractor hood, a dishwasher, and a refrigerator. From the kitchen, residents can enjoy views over the water of the Laak. The entire ground floor is equipped with floor heating, contributing to a comfortable living climate throughout the year.
The first floor of the property accommodates three spacious bedrooms. One bedroom is located at the front of the house, while the other two are situated at the rear. The bathroom on this floor is positioned at the front and features a shower enclosure, a fixed washbasin, and a second toilet. This layout ensures practicality for families with children, as the bathroom facilities are easily accessible from all bedrooms on this level.
The second floor offers additional living space that can be adapted to the needs of the residents. The landing area on this floor includes a technical room where the heat pump is installed, along with connection points for a washing machine and dryer. There are two additional bedrooms on this floor, making a total of five bedrooms in the property. One of these bedrooms is located at the front, while the other spans the full width of the house at the rear. This versatile space is ideal for larger families or for those who require a home office, hobby room, or guest accommodation.
The outdoor area of the property includes a southeast-facing garden that receives plenty of sunlight throughout the day. The garden has a depth of approximately 11 meters and a width of 5 meters, resulting in an area of 55 square meters. At the rear of the garden, there is a freestanding wooden shed for storage purposes. The garden is accessible via a back path that leads directly to the property's designated parking space. It is worth noting that the parking area is part of a mandelig (jointly owned) parking terrain, meaning the parking space is for the exclusive use of the resident but the land is co-owned with other property owners in the immediate vicinity.
The location of this property is one of its most notable features. The house is situated on the edge of the Vathorst district, offering a balance between residential tranquility and urban convenience. Station Vathorst is within a two-minute walk, providing excellent public transport connections. The neighborhood offers a comprehensive range of amenities including shops, schools, sports facilities, restaurants, and playgrounds, all within close proximity. For those who enjoy outdoor activities, the Laak waterway is nearby, offering opportunities for boating, fishing, and stand-up paddleboarding. The surrounding polder landscape provides extensive options for walking and cycling.
In terms of accessibility by car, the property is conveniently located near the A28 and A1 motorways, allowing for efficient travel to cities such as Utrecht and Amsterdam. This central position in the Netherlands makes the property suitable for commuters working in various parts of the country.
From a technical and sustainability perspective, the property meets modern standards. It has an A+++ energy label, indicating exceptional energy efficiency. The house is fully insulated and does not use natural gas. Heating is provided by a combination of partial floor heating and a heat pump system. Hot water is supplied through a flow-through boiler. The roof features three solar panels that contribute to the reduction of electricity costs. The property also benefits from both mechanical and natural ventilation systems.
The building is classified as a terraced house with a herenhuis (townhouse) appearance. The roof is a composite structure, and the total volume of the building is 557 cubic meters. The property is registered as full ownership in the land registry under the cadastral designations HOOGLAND B 9209 (135 square meters) and HOOGLAND B 9210 (910 square meters, mandelig). The external storage space measures 5 square meters, and there is 1 square meter of building-bound outdoor space.
This property represents a modern family home in a well-planned neighborhood with excellent amenities and transport links. The combination of energy efficiency, spacious layout across five bedrooms, and proximity to both urban facilities and natural recreation areas makes this a noteworthy option for families seeking a sustainable and comfortable living environment in the central Netherlands.
