Characteristic Corner Home in Historic Transformation Project
Key Features
Description
This property is situated at the corner of Vondelstraat and Dorpsstraat in Bunschoten-Spakenburg, forming part of a distinctive building that is being transformed from its former use as office space into residential accommodation. The project encompasses a total of eight residential units within one carefully considered architectural ensemble, with this particular property bearing construction number 1.
The building occupies a prominent position at the intersection of these two streets and its transformation has been approached with considerable attention to preserving the character of the original structure. The design concept involves a gradual transition in architectural expression as one moves along the Vondelstraat. The first segment of the building, where this home is located, retains its authentic details and historical character. The middle portion adopts a more contemporary appearance with modern connections and detailing, while the final segment, formerly the main office area, features corten steel frames as a defining architectural element.
This corner house offers approximately one hundred square meters of living space spread across two main floors, with the additional possibility of utilizing the attic space. The ground floor layout comprises an entrance hall providing access to the staircase leading to the upper floor, the meter cupboard, and a separate toilet. The living area on this level consists of a spacious kitchen combined with a living room. The kitchen is fitted with a Bruynzeel kitchen installation. From the living area, a second staircase leads to the first floor.
The first floor features a landing that includes a dedicated laundry room. This level contains two spacious bedrooms, providing ample accommodation for residents. The bathroom on this floor is finished with tile work and sanitary fixtures, including a shower, toilet, and washbasin as specified in the property characteristics.
Outside, the property benefits from a private garden situated along the Vondelstraat. This front garden faces south and measures nineteen square meters, with dimensions of six meters in depth and three point six meters in width. A south-facing orientation is generally considered favorable for garden spaces as it receives sunlight throughout much of the day. Additionally, the property includes a free-standing stone storage building equipped with electricity, providing secure space for bicycles, garden equipment, or other belongings.
A parking space is included with the property, which is a valuable feature in residential areas where on-street parking can be limited. The property characteristics note that public parking is also available in the area.
From an energy efficiency perspective, the home achieves a provisional A+ energy label. The property is designed to be gas-free, with heating provided by an individual heat pump system. Hot water is supplied through a flow-through boiler. The building specifications include comprehensive insulation measures: roof insulation, double glazing, wall insulation, and floor insulation are all incorporated into the construction. These elements contribute to the favorable energy rating and should result in lower energy costs compared to properties with lower energy labels.
The property is classified as a corner house within the new build category, with the expected completion year of 2026. The roof is a gabled design covered with tiles, which is a traditional and durable roofing solution commonly seen in Dutch residential architecture. The total volume of the property is approximately two hundred and ninety cubic meters.
The plot size measures one hundred and twenty-six square meters, which includes the house footprint, garden, and storage building. The external storage space specifically measures four square meters. The property is held in full ownership, as indicated by the cadastral reference to BUNSCHOTEN K 5678.
The location is described as being on a quiet road within a residential area, while also being close to amenities. Bunschoten-Spakenburg is a town in the province of Utrecht with a distinct character, known for its traditional costume and fishing heritage. The property's position at the corner of two streets places it within easy reach of local shops, services, and community facilities.
It is important to note that the transformation project is scheduled to commence in the second quarter of 2026. Prospective buyers should factor this timeline into their planning, as there will be a waiting period before the property becomes available for occupation. The listing indicates that the acceptance date is to be negotiated, which typically allows for some flexibility in coordinating the completion with the buyer's personal circumstances.
The asking price is four hundred and seventy-seven thousand five hundred euros, which translates to approximately four thousand seven hundred and seventy-five euros per square meter of living space. This price is stated as being free on name (vrij op naam), meaning that transfer taxes and notary fees associated with the property transfer are borne by the buyer, while the seller is responsible for any existing property taxes or other charges up to the date of transfer.
For those seeking additional information about this transformation project or this specific property, the listing provides a contact number with a named individual, Wouter de Graaf, who can provide further details about the development.
This property represents an opportunity to acquire a newly constructed home within a building that combines historical character with modern residential standards. The corner position, private outdoor space, included parking, and favorable energy rating are notable features of this offering in the Bunschoten-Spakenburg housing market.
