Key Features
Description
This semi-detached residential property, built in 1934, is located on Traaij in the Driebergen-Noord neighborhood of Driebergen-Rijsenburg. The dwelling presents a characteristic appearance typical of 1930s architecture, featuring several preserved authentic elements that contribute to its distinctive character. The total living area measures 137 square meters, while the plot extends to 593 square meters, providing substantial outdoor space.
The entrance hall sets the tone for the residence, displaying a granito floor and stained glass details in both the window and the door. The hall provides access to the staircase, a practical storage closet beneath the stairs, and a toilet room equipped with a fountain. These original features have been maintained, offering a glimpse into the craftsmanship of the era.
The ground floor living area is arranged in a traditional en-suite configuration, consisting of a front room and a rear room separated by sliding doors with stained glass panels. This layout allows for both open connectivity and private separation between the spaces. The front room faces the street, while the rear room benefits from a large window overlooking the garden. Wooden flooring and sizable window openings enhance the warm and bright atmosphere throughout these connected spaces.
Adjacent to the rear living room is a separate kitchen, which has been fitted with built-in appliances including a gas stove, extractor hood, combination oven, refrigerator, freezer, and dishwasher. The kitchen connects directly to what is described as a garden room, a versatile space that can serve as a dining area, study, or playroom. This garden room features French doors that open onto a veranda, facilitating a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living.
Also situated on the ground floor is a generous bathroom, which has been fully equipped with a bathtub, separate shower enclosure, double vanity unit, and a second toilet. The presence of the primary bathroom on the ground floor makes the property suitable for age-in-place living. Both the bathroom and part of the kitchen have been provided with underfloor heating for additional comfort.
The first floor contains four rooms accessible from a central landing. Three of these rooms are of good size and function as bedrooms, with one of them offering access to a rear-facing balcony. The fourth room on this level provides flexibility for use as a home office, walk-in closet, or additional bedroom according to the needs of the occupants.
A fixed staircase leads to the second floor, where a fifth bedroom is located along with additional storage space. Skylights have been installed to bring natural light into this upper level, making it a pleasant and usable area despite being situated within the roof structure.
The outdoor spaces represent a significant attribute of this property. The rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped and extends approximately 25 meters in depth with a width of 11 meters, resulting in an area of about 275 square meters. The garden orientation is southeast, allowing for favorable sunlight exposure throughout much of the day. Directly adjoining the rear of the house is a veranda that provides sheltered outdoor seating regardless of the season. The garden offers space for multiple terrace areas, play facilities, or personal creative landscaping projects. At the rear of the garden stands a freestanding stone outbuilding measuring approximately 15 square meters, suitable for storage or hobby purposes.
The front garden has likewise received careful attention, featuring trained lime trees, a beech hedge, and various planted borders that create a well-maintained and welcoming first impression.
The property has undergone various insulation improvements, including cavity wall insulation, window insulation, roof insulation, and floor insulation in the living room and dining areas. Seven solar panels have been installed on the roof to contribute to energy generation. The current energy label is rated C. Heating and hot water are provided by a Remeha gas-fired combination boiler, which is owned rather than rented.
The location on Traaij places the residence on one of the access streets leading directly to the forest areas. This positioning means that extensive woodlands and nature reserves are within walking distance, offering opportunities for walking, cycling, mountain biking, and other recreational activities. At the same time, the property maintains proximity to a variety of shops, boutiques, specialty stores, and dining establishments. Schools at both primary and secondary levels, sports clubs, and public transportation connections are all available in the immediate vicinity. The property benefits from good accessibility to major roads and surrounding cities.
A structural inspection report is available for this property, providing potential buyers with additional information about the building condition. The property is being offered at an asking price of 945,000 euros, with transfer costs to be borne by the buyer. The calculated price per square meter of living space is approximately 6,898 euros. Transfer date is to be negotiated. The cadastral designation identifies the property as consisting of two parcels in Section B of the municipality of Driebergen-Rijsenburg, numbered 6213 and 6286, with a combined area of 593 square meters.
