Charming 1950s Semi-Detached Home with Expansive Garden and Sauna

Located in the scenic and green surroundings of Hollandsche Rading, this property at Tolakkerweg offers a unique opportunity for buyers seeking a home they can personalize to their own taste. This residence consists of one half of a double house that was originally built in the 1950s. It presents itself as a charming family home with a significant amount of potential, situated on a remarkably large plot of land. The property is classified as a fixer upper, meaning it requires some attention and renovation, particularly regarding the internal finishing, but it provides a solid foundation for those willing to invest time and effort into creating their dream living space. The home is ideally situated for nature lovers while simultaneously offering excellent accessibility to major cities and highways.

Upon arriving at the property, one is immediately struck by the generous size of the plot, which totals 820 square meters. This is a substantial amount of land for a semi detached home, offering a high degree of privacy and ample space for outdoor activities. The garden wraps around the house and includes a front garden, a side garden, and a particularly deep back garden. The back garden measures approximately 301 square meters with a depth of 36.70 meters and a width of 8.20 meters. It is situated on the southwest, ensuring that the outdoor space enjoys plenty of sunlight throughout the day. A notable feature of the backyard is that it borders a ditch, which creates a natural and open view. While the property currently does not have a paved driveway, the sheer size of the lot provides more than enough opportunity to create one in the future to accommodate parking on the premises.

The entrance to the home is through the original front door, which leads into a hallway. This central space provides access to the meter cupboard, a staircase closet, a separate toilet, and the stairs leading to the first floor. The ground floor features a through living room that benefits from an abundance of natural light due to the presence of windows on three different sides. This creates a bright and inviting atmosphere in the main living area. The kitchen has been opened up in relation to the living room, creating a more modern and spacious feel compared to the original layout. From both the kitchen and the living room, residents have direct access to the garden, facilitating easy indoor outdoor living during the warmer months. The ground floor layout is practical and offers good flow, making it suitable for daily family life and entertaining.

Moving to the first floor, the landing provides access to three bedrooms and the bathroom. The master bedroom is located at the front of the house and is generously sized, featuring windows on two sides which allow for cross ventilation and plenty of light. This room also comes with a fixed wardrobe. The second bedroom is equipped with a fixed closet and has the advantage of an east facing balcony, perfect for enjoying a morning coffee in the sun. The third bedroom is more compact in size but is practical and can serve various purposes, such as a child room, a home office, or a guest room. The bathroom on this floor is described as simple in its finish and is equipped with a shower and a washbasin. There is also a separate toilet on the ground floor, which is a convenient feature for a household.

Storage space in the property is ample. The attic can be reached via a loft ladder and houses the central heating boiler, specifically an Intergas gas fired combi boiler, which is owned by the seller. The attic offers significant storage space for items that are not used daily. In addition to the indoor storage, there is a detached stone outbuilding located in the garden. This shed measures approximately eight square meters and is connected to the electricity grid. A unique and appealing feature of this outbuilding is the presence of a small sauna, providing a dedicated space for relaxation and wellness within the privacy of your own garden.

The location of Tolakkerweg in Hollandsche Rading is one of the major selling points of this listing. The area is known for its green and tranquil character, surrounded by the forests of Lage Vuursche and near the Loosdrechtse Plassen. This makes it an ideal spot for people who enjoy walking, cycling, and water sports. Despite the rural and peaceful setting, the property is surprisingly well connected to urban centers and infrastructure. The NS train station is within walking distance, offering direct connections to Hilversum and Utrecht. For those traveling by car, the proximity to the A27, A1, A28, A2, and A12 highways means that the rest of the Netherlands is easily accessible. Daily amenities such as shops and supermarkets can be found in the nearby towns of Maartensdijk, Nieuw Loosdrecht, Hilversum, and Bilthoven.

Prospective buyers should be aware of the specific legal and technical details associated with this property. The home has an energy label F, which indicates that the energy efficiency is low and that the house likely has limited insulation. This implies that future owners will need to invest in improving the insulation or installing more sustainable energy solutions to modernize the home and reduce energy costs. The sales process involves specific clauses that are important to note. The purchase agreement will include an age clause due to the construction year of 1950, which limits the liability of the seller for defects related to the age of the property. Furthermore, a non self occupancy clause applies to the seller, and a self occupancy obligation applies to the buyer, meaning the new owner is legally required to live in the house themselves and cannot rent it out immediately.

Another important aspect is that the property is being sold without a standard questionnaire or list of items by the seller. This places a greater responsibility on the buyer to conduct their own thorough technical inspection to assess the condition of the property before finalizing the purchase. The choice of notary is reserved for the seller. Additionally, the seller, Woongroen, has specific conditions regarding the acceptance of bids. If there are multiple interested parties, Woongroen may hold a bidding process. In such a case, a tenant of Woongroen may have priority over other candidates if they make an equal bid under equal conditions. Woongroen also reserves the right to accept the offer that is most favorable to them in terms of price and conditions.

The property is available for immediate acceptance upon agreement. The asking price is 525000 euros, costs to be paid by the buyer (k.k.). This price reflects the potential of the property and the size of the plot, but buyers must take into account the additional costs required for the internal finishing and potential renovation works. The presence of original panel doors adds a touch of character to the interior, preserving some of the historic charm of the 1950s architecture. This listing represents a chance to acquire a spacious home in a beautiful location with a large garden, suited for buyers who are looking for a project to make their own.
