Characteristic Corner House in Monumental Agnetapark with Sunny Garden

This characteristic corner house is situated in the monumental Agnetapark in Delft, a unique residential area with historical significance. The property was built around 1928 and forms part of a national monument, giving it a special status within the Dutch architectural heritage. The Agnetapark is known for its distinctive character and well preserved historical elements, making it a sought after location for those who appreciate living in a place with cultural value. The house benefits from a corner position, which means it has only one adjacent neighbor instead of two. This corner location also provides a wider plot compared to most other properties in the neighborhood. The total plot size measures 213 square meters, which is generous for a terraced house in this area. The property consists of two cadastral parcels: one of 154 square meters and one of 59 square meters, both in full ownership. One of the standout features of this property is the sunny backyard facing southwest. The rear garden spans approximately 130 square meters and has a depth of over 16 meters with a width of 8 meters. This orientation ensures that the garden receives plenty of sunlight throughout the afternoon and evening, making it an enjoyable outdoor space during the warmer months. In addition to the rear garden, there is also a side garden, further enhancing the outdoor living experience. The property has undergone significant improvements and modernization in recent years. The current owners have invested in various upgrades to enhance both the comfort and energy efficiency of the home. The house is largely fitted with double glazing, and both the cavity walls and the roof have been insulated. These measures contribute to the current energy label C, which is reasonable for a building of this age while still offering room for further improvements if desired. In the outdoor area, several additions have been made. A new and spacious shed has been constructed, providing ample storage space. There is also a dedicated bicycle storage unit, which is practical for keeping bikes secure and out of sight. A canopy with a wood burning fireplace has been installed, creating an attractive covered area where residents can enjoy the garden even when the weather is less favorable. The wood burner adds a cozy atmosphere to outdoor gatherings. The interior of the house has been updated to meet modern standards while respecting the historical character of the building. The ground floor features a modern open kitchen that is equipped with various built in appliances. This open layout connects seamlessly with the living area, creating a sense of space and flow. The living room itself is spacious and bright, with French doors that open directly onto the sunny backyard. This connection between indoor and outdoor living makes the ground floor particularly appealing during the summer months. The ground floor also includes an entrance hall with access to a toilet, the meter cupboard, and a storage closet under the stairs. These practical elements ensure that daily necessities are conveniently accommodated without taking up valuable living space. On the first floor, the landing provides access to two bedrooms. The exact dimensions of these rooms are not specified in the listing, but they are described as part of a total of three sleeping areas in the house. Also located on this floor is a modern bathroom that has been fitted with underfloor heating, adding a touch of luxury to the daily routine. The bathroom includes a shower and a vanity unit with a washbasin. Additionally, there is a separate room that serves as both a toilet and a laundry area. This space has connections for both a washing machine and a dryer, keeping laundry appliances conveniently located on the same floor as the bedrooms. The second floor is reached via a fixed staircase that has been installed as part of the recent improvements. Previously, many houses of this era had only a pull down ladder to the attic, so the addition of a proper staircase significantly improves accessibility and usability of this space. The attic room is described as spacious and can serve multiple purposes. It could function as an additional bedroom, a home office or workspace, or simply as extra storage space, depending on the needs of the new owners. The property is heated by a gas fired combination boiler that is owned by the current owners, meaning there is no need to take over a rental contract for this appliance. There is also a gas fireplace mentioned in the features, which can provide supplementary heating and create a pleasant ambiance in the living area. As the house is part of a national monument, it is being sold with an old building clause. This is standard practice for properties with protected status and means that the buyer accepts the property in its current condition, acknowledging that older buildings may have characteristics that cannot be fully brought up to modern standards without compromising their historical integrity. The homeowner association, known in Dutch as VVE, takes care of the exterior painting and the maintenance of the green elements such as the hedges. This arrangement ensures that the outward appearance of the properties in Agnetapark remains consistent and well maintained, which is important for a monumental area. The costs associated with this VVE service are not specified in the listing. The location of the property is one of its strong selling points. Agnetapark is situated within walking distance of various amenities including shops, schools, and public transportation options. The historic center of Delft is also easily accessible on foot, allowing residents to enjoy the charming canals, historic buildings, restaurants, and cultural attractions that the city has to offer. Delft itself is well connected to other major cities in the Randstad area, making it a practical base for commuters. Parking is available both on the property itself and on the public street, providing flexibility for residents and visitors who arrive by car. The house is connected to fiber optic cable, which means high speed internet is readily available. Natural ventilation is present throughout the property, and there is also a TV cable connection for entertainment needs. With a living area of 90 square meters, the property offers a comfortable amount of space for a small family, a couple, or someone working from home. The external storage space of 6 square meters adds practical utility. The total volume of the house is 315 cubic meters. The asking price for this property is 700,000 euros, which translates to approximately 7,778 euros per square meter of living space. The property is offered with costs for the buyer, meaning that additional costs such as transfer tax and notary fees will apply on top of the purchase price. The acceptance date is to be agreed upon, providing some flexibility in the moving timeline.
