Spacious Semi-Detached Family Home with Six Bedrooms and Solar Panels
Key Features
Upsides
- Generous living space of 234 square meters with six full bedrooms, providing ample room for large families, home offices, or guest accommodation.
- Strong sustainability credentials including energy label A+, full insulation throughout, and 22 solar panels that contribute to lower ongoing energy costs.
- Recently renovated ground floor from 2021 featuring a modern kitchen, updated bathroom, smooth plasterwork, and underfloor heating for enhanced comfort.
- Large plot of 498 square meters with mature landscaping, a west-facing garden for afternoon sun, and a detached storage building of 23 square meters with additional attic space.
- Practical amenities including an electric vehicle charging station, driveway parking for multiple cars, and a convenient location within walking distance of shops and public transportation.
Downsides
- Only one bathroom is currently available to serve six bedrooms, which may create bottlenecks during peak usage times for a full household.
- The central heating boiler dates from 2007 and may require replacement in the coming years, representing a potential future expense.
- The asking price of 985,000 euros represents a significant investment at 4,209 euros per square meter, which is above average for the region.
- As a semi-detached property, the house shares a wall with the neighboring residence, which means less privacy compared to a fully detached home and potential noise transmission.
- The second floor bedrooms do not have specified square meter measurements in the listing, which may indicate they are smaller than the first-floor bedrooms and could have sloped ceilings due to the roof structure.
Description
This modern semi-detached house, constructed in 2007, is located at Turris 6 in the popular Westeraam district of Elst. The property offers an impressive living area of 234 square meters, which is considerably larger than the average family home in the Netherlands. The total plot measures 498 square meters and features mature trees and greenery throughout the garden. A notable feature of the outdoor space is the cherry tree that produces kilograms of fresh cherries each year for the owners to enjoy.
The ground floor underwent a comprehensive renovation in 2021, resulting in a contemporary and comfortable living space. The renovation included the installation of a new kitchen, a modernized toilet, smooth plasterwork on the walls, and the addition of underfloor heating in the living room and kitchen areas. The combined living room and open kitchen spans 74 square meters, creating a generous central space for daily family life and entertaining guests. The living room features a bay window on the side of the house, allowing natural light to enter the space. Double garden doors at the rear provide direct access to the covered terrace area, which extends the living space outdoors during warmer months.
The kitchen is arranged in a practical U-shape and includes a breakfast bar for casual dining. The kitchen is equipped with a gas cooktop featuring multiple ovens, a dishwasher, a refrigerator, a freezer, and a dedicated wine cooler. Adjacent to the kitchen, a utility room houses the central heating boiler, washing machine, and dryer, keeping these practical appliances out of sight from the main living areas.
The first floor contains three exceptionally large bedrooms measuring 23 square meters, 18.2 square meters, and 17 square meters respectively. These room dimensions provide ample space for furnished bedrooms, home offices, or hobby rooms. The bathroom on this floor is well-appointed with a bathtub, a walk-in shower, a second toilet, and two vanity units with sinks. This configuration allows the bathroom to serve multiple family members simultaneously during busy morning routines.
A fixed staircase leads to the second floor, which features a spacious landing with a gable end window that brings additional daylight into this level. Three more full bedrooms are located on this floor, each equipped with one or two skylights. The listing mentions that there is potential to create a second bathroom on this floor if desired, which would add significant convenience for a household using all six bedrooms.
The property includes a detached wooden storage building measuring 23 square meters with a practical attic space of 19 square meters above it. This outbuilding provides substantial storage capacity and could also serve as a workshop or hobby space. The driveway offers parking for multiple vehicles, and an electric vehicle charging station has been installed for convenient at-home charging.
Sustainability features are prominent throughout the property. The home holds an energy label A+, reflecting its efficient energy performance. The building is fully insulated with roof insulation, wall insulation, and floor insulation. All window frames are made of plastic (kunststof) with insulating glazing, contributing to the overall energy efficiency. Twenty-two solar panels are installed on the roof, generating renewable electricity and helping to reduce ongoing energy costs.
The central heating system consists of a Vaillant HR combination boiler from 2007 that runs on natural gas. Hot water is provided through both the CV boiler and an electric boiler. The property also features mechanical ventilation and natural ventilation options, as well as fiber optic cable and TV connections for modern telecommunications needs.
The garden orientation is west-facing, which means the outdoor spaces receive afternoon and evening sunlight. The side garden specifically measures 190 square meters with dimensions of 19 meters in depth and 10 meters in width. The total outdoor space includes a front garden, side garden, and rear garden, providing different areas for various uses throughout the day.
The Westeraam neighborhood is described as a sought-after residential area in Elst. The property benefits from a central location within the district, with shops, bus stops, and the train station all within walking distance. This proximity to public transportation and daily amenities contributes to the practical livability of the home. The house is situated on a quiet road within the residential neighborhood, offering a peaceful living environment while maintaining good connectivity to the surrounding region.
With a total of seven rooms including six bedrooms, this property is well-suited for large families, households requiring home office space, or those who frequently host guests. The combination of modern renovations, energy-efficient features, and generous space both indoors and outdoors makes this a notable offering in the Elst housing market.
