Description
The property is located at Vredelantstraat 3 in the village of Vreeland. This terraced house was originally built in 1972 and has been significantly renovated and modernized in recent years. The home offers a living area of 118 square meters spread across three floors, with an additional 8 square meters of external storage space. The total plot measures 144 square meters.
Upon entering the property through the front door, you arrive in the hallway which provides access to the meter cupboard and a modern toilet. From the hallway, a staircase leads to the upper floors. The entire ground floor features a level floor finish with warm water underfloor heating, contributing to a comfortable living experience throughout the year.
The living room is a bright through-room that receives natural light from both the front and back of the house. This space flows seamlessly into the kitchen, which was installed in 2015. The kitchen is equipped with Siemens built-in appliances, including an oven, dishwasher, and a refrigerator-freezer combination. The layout is functional and designed for practical daily use. The underfloor heating system operates on warm water, providing an even distribution of heat throughout the living areas. This type of heating system is often preferred for its comfort and the absence of visible radiators, which can make rooms feel more spacious. The level floor finish without thresholds also contributes to accessibility and a modern feel.
The kitchen from 2015, while not the most recent renovation in the house, still represents a relatively modern installation. Siemens is a reputable brand for household appliances, and the inclusion of essential items means that a new owner would not immediately need to invest in new kitchen equipment. The functional layout suggests that the kitchen has been designed with practical use in mind.
The first floor is accessed via a landing that provides entry to three well-proportioned bedrooms. All bedrooms feature insulating glazing, which helps with energy efficiency and noise reduction. The presence of insulating glazing in all bedrooms is an important feature, both for thermal comfort and for reducing external noise. This is particularly relevant for families with young children who may have different sleep schedules than adults in the household.
The bathroom was renovated in 2016 and is designed as a modern wellness space. It includes a jacuzzi or whirlpool bath, a separate shower cubicle, a vanity unit, and a second toilet. The finish is light and contemporary in style. The inclusion of a whirlpool bath is a distinctive feature that is not commonly found in properties of this type and price range. This addition elevates the bathroom beyond basic functionality and provides a space for relaxation. The separate shower cubicle ensures that the bathroom remains practical for daily use. The presence of a second toilet on this floor is a practical advantage for a family home, as it reduces the need to share facilities.
The second floor is reached via a fixed staircase and offers a surprisingly spacious attic floor. In 2017, a substantial roof extension was added, creating a full fourth bedroom. This room features large UPVC window frames that provide extensive views and allow plenty of natural light to enter. For warmer summer days, this floor is equipped with air conditioning installed in 2019, ensuring a pleasant temperature even during hot periods. The roof extension from 2017 represents a significant investment by the current owners and has substantially increased the usable living space of the property. Without this extension, the second floor would likely have been a standard attic space with sloped ceilings and limited headroom. The creation of a full fourth bedroom transforms this into a genuine living space rather than supplementary storage area. The air conditioning installation addresses a common issue with top-floor rooms, which tend to become uncomfortably warm during summer months.
The rear garden has been thoughtfully laid out with decorative paving and planted borders. A notable feature is the unobstructed view at the back of the property, overlooking a green area with play facilities. A practical rear access path is available. At the front of the property, there is a front garden with a stone storage shed for additional storage needs. The external storage situation includes both an 8 square meter external storage space and a stone shed in the front garden. This provides ample room for storing bicycles, garden equipment, and other items. The stone construction of the front shed offers better security and weather protection than a wooden or plastic alternative.
The property has received considerable attention in terms of sustainability. It features 13 solar panels and comprehensive insulation including floor, wall, and roof insulation. These measures have resulted in an energy label A rating, indicating high energy efficiency. The heating is provided by a Nefit gas-fired combination boiler from 2016, which is owned by the current owners. Thirteen solar panels represent a significant renewable energy installation that can substantially reduce electricity costs. The comprehensive insulation contributes to the energy label A rating, which is one of the highest ratings available.
Vreeland is a village situated in a strategic location within the Randstad region. The property benefits from its proximity to several major destinations. According to the listing information, the Amsterdam Zuidas business district can be reached in approximately 20 minutes by car, Amsterdam city centre in about 30 minutes, the heart of Amstelveen in 20 minutes, Schiphol Airport in 20 minutes, Utrecht city centre in 30 minutes, and Breukelen station in 15 minutes. The proximity to Breukelen station provides access to rail connections for commuting to Amsterdam, Utrecht, and other cities.
The immediate surroundings of the property are described as child-friendly, with the green play area visible from the rear of the house. The street itself is characterized as quiet and located within a residential area. The ability to supervise children at play from within the home provides peace of mind for parents. Parking is available in the public domain, meaning there is no dedicated private parking space associated with the property.
The asking price for this property is set at 525,000 euros, which is offered as a buyer's cost price, meaning the buyer is responsible for transfer taxes and notary fees. Based on the living area of 118 square meters, this translates to approximately 4,449 euros per square meter. The property is offered with a status of available, and the acceptance terms are described as negotiable, indicating flexibility regarding the moving date.
The cadastral designation for this property is VREELAND B 1699, with a cadastral surface area of 144 square meters. The ownership situation is full ownership, which is the most common and unrestricted form of property ownership in the Netherlands.
The purchase agreement will include several standard additional clauses. These include the NEN 2580 measurement standard clause, which relates to how the surface areas have been measured and reported. An age clause will also be included, which is standard for older properties and limits the liability of the seller regarding defects that could reasonably be expected given the age of the property. Additionally, a notary choice clause will be included.
This property at Vredelantstraat 3 presents itself as a complete and well-maintained family home in a desirable location. The combination of modern amenities, additional space created by the roof extension, and the various investments in sustainability make it suitable for immediate occupancy. The property appears particularly suited to starters or young families looking for a move-in ready home in a central location within the Randstad region.
