Renovated 1930s Terraced House with Deep Garden in Hoograven
Key Features
Description
Vaartscherijnstraat 24 is situated in the Oud Hoograven-Noord district of Utrecht, offering a characteristic 1930s terraced house with a notably deep backyard. The property is located on a quiet street with a pleasant residential atmosphere and abundant greenery in the immediate surroundings. This combination of location and layout makes the house suitable for those who value both indoor space and an enjoyable outdoor area.
The neighborhood of Hoograven has established itself as a desirable residential area characterized by a strong mix of 1930s architecture and an increasingly vibrant urban character. Over recent years, the area has undergone significant development, particularly with the transformation of the nearby Rotsoord district into a popular destination featuring restaurants, cafés, and creative hotspots. Residents here benefit from a peaceful living environment while having urban amenities literally around the corner.
Directly across from the property lies a green grassy area along the Vaartsche Rijn, providing space for children to play. Around the corner is playground Het Raafje, and within walking distance are various shops for daily groceries, including the shopping area at Smaragdplein. Schools, childcare facilities, public transport, and major highways (A2, A12, and A27) are all easily accessible. Utrecht Central Station and the historic city center are approximately ten minutes by bicycle.
Upon entering the property, you arrive in the hallway where the toilet room and a storage closet under the stairs are located. From the hallway, you step into the living room, which extends across the full depth of the house. This creates a pleasant, open living space with ample natural light and a natural division between sitting and dining areas. At the rear, the living room connects to the open kitchen that was renewed in 2021.
The kitchen is equipped with various built-in appliances including a kitchen island with an induction cooktop featuring integrated extraction (Bora brand), a Siemens dishwasher, a Siemens combination oven and microwave, a Siemens warming drawer, a sink with a thermal faucet, a Siemens refrigerator and freezer, and smart electrical outlets. The ground floor is distinguished by colorful stained glass windows characteristic of the 1930s period and a pleasant amount of daylight. Combined with the sleek interior and the concrete floor with underfloor heating, a comfortable and modern living space has been created here.
The property has been made more sustainable and is equipped with the necessary modern installations, ensuring that comfort and energy consumption are well balanced. The width and charm of the 1930s house come together nicely with contemporary living comfort.
Through the folding doors, the living space transitions seamlessly into the deep backyard facing southeast. This orientation means the garden is enjoyable from early spring through the evening hours. The garden includes a wooden storage shed and is also accessible via a rear path, which adds practical convenience.
The first floor features a landing that provides access to two bedrooms. Both rooms are of generous size, making them flexible to arrange as sleeping, working, or children's rooms. The laundry room at the front of the house has retained its authentic tilework and is equipped with a sink and connections for a washing machine and dryer. The modern bathroom, installed in 2021, includes a spacious walk-in shower, a toilet, and a sink.
A loft ladder leads to the attic space which has a skylight. This is a surprisingly usable space that offers possibilities for expanding a second living floor, subject to obtaining the necessary permits from the municipality of Utrecht. This would make it relatively straightforward to create additional bedrooms here.
The property was renovated in 2021 and benefits from energy label A. It features a modern hybrid heat pump and contemporary installations that contribute to a comfortable and energy-efficient living climate. Other notable features include the wooden shed in the garden, the attic with expansion possibilities, the ground floor with concrete floor, underfloor heating, and a neatly finished interior.
