Description
This terraced house located on Trompstraat in Heemskerk presents an excellent opportunity for buyers looking to customize a home to their personal preferences. Built in 1964, the property offers a solid foundation with a practical layout that lends itself well to modernization projects. The residence is situated on a plot measuring 133 square meters, with a total living area of 102 square meters and a volume of 361 cubic meters.
The ground floor features a through-living room (doorzonwoonkamer) that creates a sense of spaciousness and provides a pleasant view of the green backyard. This living area benefits from natural light flowing through the windows, making it an inviting space for daily living and entertaining. The kitchen is positioned at the rear of the property and has been arranged in a corner configuration. From the kitchen, there is direct access to the garden, which is convenient for outdoor dining or simply moving between indoor and outdoor spaces during warmer months.
The backyard is a notable feature of this property, facing southwest to capture maximum sunlight throughout the day and into the evening. Measuring 60 square meters with a depth of 10.20 meters and a width of 5.89 meters, the garden offers ample space for various uses. Whether you envision a comfortable lounge area, a play space for children, or a large dining table for summer evenings, the garden can accommodate these needs. Privacy is well-maintained thanks to the green surroundings, and a freestanding stone shed at the back of the garden provides useful storage space. The garden is accessible via a rear path.
Moving to the first floor, the property contains three well-proportioned bedrooms. These rooms offer flexibility for use as bedrooms, a home office, or a nursery depending on the needs of the household. The bathroom on this floor has been designed with a generous layout and is equipped with a shower and a washbasin cabinet. Additionally, there is a separate toilet on this level, which adds convenience for daily use.
The second floor expands the living space considerably with a large attic floor. This level includes a landing area where the central heating boiler (CV-opstelling) is located. The boiler is an Intergas gas-fired combi boiler that is owned by the property owner, meaning it will transfer to the new owner. A dormer window (dakkapel) has been installed on this floor, adding extra headroom and natural light. This space currently serves as a fourth bedroom but could equally function as a home workspace, hobby room, or additional bedroom depending on requirements.
The property is located in a quiet street within a pleasant residential area of Heemskerk. The location offers excellent convenience with shops, supermarkets, schools, and sports facilities all within easy walking distance. The center of Heemskerk is also close by, providing access to a wider range of amenities and services. For those who commute or travel regularly, the property benefits from favorable positioning relative to public transportation options and major roads leading to Haarlem, Alkmaar, and Amsterdam. Green spaces and recreational facilities are also within walking distance from the home, contributing to the quality of life in this neighborhood.
In terms of technical specifications, the property has an energy label D and features double glazing for insulation. The roof is a gable roof covered with tiles (zadeldak bedekt met pannen). Heating and hot water are provided by the aforementioned combi boiler. Parking is available on public roads in the area.
This property is particularly suited to buyers who enjoy home improvement projects and want to put their personal stamp on a residence. The listing explicitly notes that it is an ideal home for a handy person (handige klusser), indicating that while the property is habitable, it would benefit from updating and modernization. The basic structure and layout are sound, providing a good starting point for such improvements.
The asking price is set at 365,000 euros, which translates to approximately 3,578 euros per square meter of living space. The property is available for transfer in consultation (in overleg), allowing some flexibility in the moving date. The property is offered with full ownership (volle eigendom) and is registered in the land registry under HEEMSKERK D 3929.
For prospective buyers, the listing recommends engaging an NVM purchase agent (NVM-aankoopmakelaar) to represent their interests during the transaction process. This is standard practice in the Dutch real estate market and can help ensure that buyers make informed decisions and negotiate effectively.
