Key Features
Description
This detached family home is situated on the desirable Tivoliweg in the Puienput district of Hulst. The property is being offered at an asking price of 349,000 euros, with the buyer responsible for the associated transaction costs (kosten koper). Built in 1974, the residence has been excellently maintained over the years and features several notable sustainability improvements that enhance its overall energy performance beyond what the official energy label suggests.
Upon entering the property, you are welcomed into a hallway that provides access to the staircase leading to the upper floors and a separate toilet. The hallway serves as a practical transition space between the exterior and the main living areas of the home.
The living room is designed in an L-shaped layout, making it a genuine focal point of the ground floor. Large window sections have been incorporated throughout this space, allowing for abundant natural light to fill the room during daylight hours. This creates an open and airy atmosphere that makes the living area feel particularly inviting. The floor is finished with parquet flooring, which adds a warm and characteristic appearance to the space. A sliding patio door provides direct access to the sunny terrace outside, effectively connecting the interior living space with the garden area. This seamless transition between indoors and outdoors is especially pleasant during the warmer months.
Adjacent to the living room, you will find the closed kitchen. This practical layout separates the cooking area from the main living space, which can be preferable for those who wish to keep cooking activities more private or contain cooking odors. The specific fittings and appliances in the kitchen are not detailed in the listing, so interested parties would need to inquire further or view the property to assess the current kitchen configuration.
The ground floor is completed by the attached garage, which offers internal access from the home. The garage has sufficient capacity for one vehicle and is equipped with an electrically operated door. Additionally, the garage contains the connections for the washing machine, making it a functional utility space alongside its primary purpose as parking and storage.
The first floor of the property accommodates three full-sized bedrooms, providing ample sleeping and working space for a family or couple requiring additional rooms for a home office or guest room. The specific dimensions of these bedrooms are not provided in the listing, but they are described as fully-fledged rooms, indicating they offer practical usable space rather than being small or cramped.
The bathroom on this floor has been functionally designed and features a walk-in shower and a washbasin. The straightforward layout prioritizes usability and easy maintenance. A separate toilet is located on the ground floor, which is a practical arrangement that allows the bathroom to remain private during use.
Access to the second floor is currently achieved via a loft ladder (vlizotrap). This upper level presents an interesting opportunity for future expansion, as it boasts an impressive ridge height of 2.5 meters. With the installation of a permanent staircase, this space could potentially be transformed into an additional bedroom, a hobby room, or a spacious storage area. The current configuration does limit immediate usability, but the potential is clearly present. The CV boiler, which dates from 2014, is installed on this level.
The property sits on a generous plot of 495 square meters, which contributes significantly to the feeling of freedom and space associated with this home. The garden extends around the property and is described as sunny, very well-maintained, and offering various spots to enjoy outdoor living. The backyard specifically measures 320 square meters, with dimensions of 20 meters in depth and 16 meters in width, facing east. Access to the rear of the property is available via a side path (achterom), which is a practical feature for various purposes including garden maintenance and potential access for services.
Regarding the sustainability features of the property, the official energy label shows a rating of E. However, the listing explicitly notes that this label was issued before significant improvements were carried out. The actual energy performance is considerably more favorable due to several upgrades. The property has been fitted with full plastic window frames (kunststof kozijnen), which offer the dual benefit of being low-maintenance and providing better insulation compared to older frame materials. The cavity walls have also been insulated (nageïsoleerde spouwmuren), which is an important measure for reducing heat loss through the exterior walls. Furthermore, the property has been equipped with eight solar panels, which directly contribute to lower electricity costs. The window glazing consists of both double glazing and HR-glass, providing additional thermal insulation.
Hot water is supplied by an electric boiler that is rented rather than owned outright. Prospective buyers should factor this ongoing rental cost into their monthly expenses when considering the overall affordability of the property.
The property features mechanical ventilation as well as natural ventilation options, allowing for proper air circulation throughout the home. Roller shutters have been installed, which can be useful for regulating light and temperature as well as providing additional security and privacy when desired.
Parking is available both on the property itself and through public parking in the vicinity, offering flexibility for residents and visitors. The location is described as being on a quiet road within a residential area, which typically indicates a peaceful living environment suitable for families.
The Tivoliweg is characterized in the listing as a highly sought-after location in Hulst, suggesting that properties in this street are in demand and may hold their value well due to the desirability of the area. Hulst itself is a municipality in the province of Zeeland, located in the southwestern part of the Netherlands near the Belgian border.
The total volume of the property is 497 cubic meters, which provides a sense of the overall spatial capacity of the home across all floors. In addition to the 100 square meters of living space, there is 33 square meters of other indoor space (which includes the garage and likely the hallway and utility areas) and 11 square meters of external storage space.
The acceptance terms for the property are described as being negotiable (in overleg), which is standard in the Dutch housing market and allows for discussion regarding the preferred move-in date and any specific conditions either party may wish to include in the transaction.
