Description
This semi-detached family residence is located in the pleasant and highly sought-after residential area of Oostertocht in Heerhugowaard. The property has been completely modernized starting from April 2022, which included the renewal of floors, walls, the kitchen, the bathroom, and the toilet. As a result, the home is move-in ready and requires no additional work from the new owners.
The location of the property is highly practical. It is situated close to the Jan Glijnisweg, which provides quick connections to Alkmaar, Amsterdam, and Hoorn. Supermarkets and the center of Heerhugowaard are also within a short distance, making daily errands convenient for residents.
The ground floor is accessed via a spacious front garden. The property is set back slightly from the road, which enhances privacy for the residents. The entrance hall contains the modern toilet, the meter cupboard, and the staircase leading to the upper floors. The entire ground floor features a clean PVC floor finish that contributes to the contemporary appearance of the interior.
The living room benefits from large windows and a favorable southwest orientation, ensuring ample natural light throughout the day. The open kitchen is located at the front of the house and is luxuriously appointed with high-quality AEG built-in appliances. These include two combi-ovens with microwave function, which is particularly convenient for larger families or those who prefer to cook separate dishes simultaneously. Additional appliances include a refrigerator, a separate freezer, a dishwasher, and a spacious induction cooktop. The kitchen also offers substantial storage space in the drawers and cabinets. A Quooker Combi with boiler is installed for instant hot water. The extractor hood vents directly to the outside, and the ceiling is fitted with recessed spotlights. A clever storage solution has been incorporated in the staircase closet, where a closet within a closet provides additional storage capacity.
The first floor contains three bedrooms, two of which are particularly spacious. The modern bathroom was also renovated in 2022 and features a vanity unit with double sinks, a designer radiator, a second toilet, and a generous walk-in shower. This layout ensures that the bathroom meets the needs of a family without creating bottlenecks during morning routines.
The second floor was extended in the late 1990s, which created significantly more space than would typically be found in a property of this type. The straight walls on this level have allowed for the creation of two full-sized bedrooms. The listing notes that a third bedroom could potentially be realized on this floor, which would bring the total number of bedrooms to six. The landing on this floor houses a spacious laundry room with the central heating boiler installation.
All windows on the upper floors are equipped with electric roller shutters, which contribute to both comfort and privacy for the residents.
The rear garden is spacious and oriented to the southwest, allowing residents to enjoy sunlight throughout the day. In 2024, a pleasant veranda was added to the garden, providing a shaded seating area during warm weather. The combination of the favorable positioning and the large windows ensures that the property remains bright and airy.
At the front of the property, there is parking space on the premises with room for multiple vehicles. Additionally, there is sufficient parking available on the street for visitors.
The attached garage is notably deep at seven meters and is equipped with electricity. This space is suitable for storing bicycles, housing belongings, or parking a car, motorcycle, or even a classic vehicle indoors.
In terms of sustainability, the property performs well. It is fully insulated and holds an energy label A rating. Ten solar panels were installed in 2022, which contribute to reduced energy costs for the homeowners.
The property features a flat roof covered with bituminous roofing material. The bitumen was reapplied in 2022 as part of the maintenance program, ensuring the roof remains in good condition.
Heating and hot water are provided by an Intergas combi-boiler that was installed in 2022 and is owned by the property owner. Mechanical ventilation is present in the home, contributing to good indoor air quality.
The total living area measures 137 square meters, with an additional 19 square meters of indoor storage space. The plot covers 229 square meters, and the total volume of the property is 530 cubic meters. The rear garden measures 94 square meters, with dimensions of 11 meters in depth and 8.5 meters in width.
The property is offered at a listed price of 550,000 euros, which translates to approximately 4,015 euros per square meter of living space. The acceptance terms are subject to negotiation, and the property is currently available.
This family home presents itself as a well-maintained, modernized residence in a convenient location. The combination of the recent renovations, the energy-efficient features, and the flexible bedroom layout makes this property suitable for families looking for a comfortable home that requires no immediate improvements.
