Spacious Semi-Detached Home with Garage and Four Bedrooms in Ochten
Key Features
Upsides
- The property offers a generous living space of 150 square meters with four bedrooms, providing ample room for family life and work from home possibilities.
- It features excellent energy efficiency with an Energy Label A, supported by 17 solar panels installed in 2023 and comprehensive insulation (floor, roof, and facade).
- The location combines a child-friendly residential neighborhood in the village of Ochten with proximity to natural areas like the Waal river floodplains and the Utrechtse Heuvelrug.
Downsides
- The backyard is located on the north side, which typically results in less direct sunlight on the terrace compared to south or west-facing gardens.
- The property was built in 1978, meaning that despite renovations, the structure is from an older generation of construction which may come with maintenance expectations typical for that age.
- There is only one bathroom available to serve the four bedrooms, which could create a bottleneck for a larger family during morning routines.
