Description
This detached property is situated in a distinctive location between the city of Utrecht and the municipality of Nieuwegein, directly adjacent to the Merwedekanaal. The residence offers approximately 259 square meters of living space and is set on a generous plot measuring 1,970 square meters of freehold land. Built in 2001, the property benefits from modern construction standards while maintaining a position that provides considerable privacy and a tranquil outlook over the waterway.
The ground floor of the residence features an entrance hall with a toilet and staircase leading to the upper levels.

The kitchen, installed in 2016, occupies 16 square meters and is positioned in open connection with the living area. This modern kitchen includes a cooking island and is fitted with a comprehensive range of built-in appliances. The layout provides ample workspace and storage capacity. Adjacent to the kitchen, a practical utility room houses the washing machine connection and offers a secondary exit to the rear of the property.
