Spacious Semi-Detached Home with Nature Reserve at Your Doorstep
Key Features
Description
Located at the edge of the charming town of Gendt, this spacious semi-detached residence at Torenlaan 10 offers an exceptional combination of comfortable family living and natural surroundings. With the Waaldijk and the nature reserve De Gelderse Poort literally bordering the backyard, this property presents a rare opportunity to enjoy peaceful, green living while remaining within walking distance of Gendt's town center.
This well-maintained two-under-one-roof dwelling was built in 1971 and offers significantly more space than one might expect from the street view. The property encompasses 163 square meters of living space on a generous plot of 570 square meters, with a total volume of 791 cubic meters. The home features four bedrooms, multiple functional spaces, a full basement, an attached garage, and a heated sunroom, making it an ideal choice for families, those looking to upgrade, or anyone who values space combined with comfortable living close to nature.
Upon entering the home, you are greeted by a living room that feels bright and spacious thanks to the large windows on both the front and rear sides. The natural light flows freely throughout the day, creating an inviting atmosphere. The ground floor layout is practical and thoughtfully designed, with the living room flowing into the dining area and kitchen. From the dining area, you can access the heated and insulated sunroom through the kitchen. This sunroom serves as a wonderful additional living space, bathed in natural daylight and offering pleasant views of the garden.
For those seeking even more living space, the wall between the living room and the sunroom could be opened relatively easily, creating an extra large living area with excellent connection to the outdoors. This flexibility allows future owners to customize the home to their specific needs and preferences.
The kitchen is situated at the rear of the property and looks out toward the Waaldijk and the lush green landscape of the De Gelderse Poort nature reserve. It is from this vantage point that the tranquil and open character of this special location truly becomes apparent. The peaceful views and the sense of space create an environment that feels far removed from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
Adjacent to the sunroom, there is a large heated and insulated space currently being used as a utility room. However, this area behind the garage offers far more potential than simple storage. Equipped with a shower and generous dimensions, this space presents numerous possibilities. It could serve as a home practice space, hobby room, playroom, home care solution, or even a bedroom and bathroom on the ground floor for those seeking age-friendly living arrangements. The potential for working from home or running a home-based business is also excellent here.
The first floor houses multiple bedrooms, a study, and a modern bathroom. The rear-facing rooms benefit from splendid open views over the Waaldijk and the De Gelderse Poort nature reserve beyond. This ever-changing seasonal panorama never fails to delight and provides a constant connection to the natural surroundings. The bathroom is equipped with a shower, double sink, and toilet, providing all the necessary amenities for family living.
The second floor reveals yet another surprise: a remarkably spacious additional bedroom with a dormer window. This versatile space could serve perfectly as a room for older children seeking more independence, a guest room, or a quiet study or hobby area. The natural light and generous proportions make this a pleasant and functional space that adds significant value to the home.
One of the most notable features of this property is the full basement that extends under the entire house. This substantial space offers enormous practical potential, whether envisioned as a wine cellar, additional storage, pantry, or for other uses. The basement adds a dimension of utility that is increasingly rare in modern homes.
The outdoor spaces are equally impressive. The deep backyard, measuring 383 square meters (36.5 meters deep and 10.5 meters wide), borders directly on the dike and offers considerable privacy and tranquility. The large covered terrace can be enclosed on the sides with screens and is equipped with sun blinds, allowing comfortable outdoor sitting almost year-round. For warm summer evenings, atmospheric lighting has been installed in the covered area. The garden has been thoughtfully landscaped with multiple seating areas and abundant greenery. Whether you prefer sun, shade, a sheltered spot, or an open view toward the dike and nature reserve, there is always a pleasant place to be found.
The property includes an attached stone garage with space for one vehicle, equipped with electricity, heating, and running water. Additionally, there is a freestanding wooden shed for extra storage. Parking is available on the property itself as well as in public spaces nearby.
In terms of technical specifications, the home features double glazing, HR glass, and wall insulation. Heating and hot water are provided by a Nefit Ecomline gas-fired combi boiler from 1999 (owned, not rented). The property also benefits from air conditioning, exterior sun blinds, fiber optic cable connection, and roller shutters. The energy label is C.
The roof is a gable type covered with bituminous roofing material and tiles. The total number of rooms is nine, including four bedrooms, spread across three living levels plus the basement. There is one bathroom and one separate toilet on the premises.
The property is located on a quiet road with open views, contributing to the sense of peace and space that characterizes this home. The front garden and east-facing back garden complete the outdoor offerings. A roof terrace is also present, providing an additional outdoor space to enjoy.
It should be noted that the property is located directly on the Waaldijk. There are plans for future dike reinforcement for this section, though these plans are currently still in the preparatory phase with no work scheduled for the coming years. Updated information can be found through Waterschap Rivierenland, specifically for the Sprok-Sterreschans section.
This property represents a rare opportunity to acquire a spacious, multifunctional home in one of the most beautiful locations in Gendt. The combination of generous living space, versatile rooms, excellent outdoor areas, and the unique natural setting creates a living environment that would be difficult to replicate. Whether for a growing family, those seeking a work-life balance with home office potential, or anyone who values the restorative power of nature on their doorstep, this property merits serious consideration.
