Light-Flooded Extended Family Home with Conservatory and Outdoor Kitchen
Key Features
Upsides
- Exceptionally spacious living area with a fully extended back facade creating an impressive open-plan feel. Two large skylights bring abundant natural light into the living space.
- Two complete bathrooms, with the second bathroom being newly installed in 2022, providing excellent convenience for families or those who appreciate having multiple facilities.
- The conservatory with integrated outdoor kitchen, lighting, and heating creates a versatile additional living space that can be enjoyed year-round. The west-facing garden receives afternoon and evening sun, ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining.
- The property includes private parking on its own premises, a valuable feature in urban areas. The former storage room has been converted into a practical laundry and storage space.
- The kitchen was substantially renovated in 2020 with modern appliances and extensive storage. Weesp offers an attractive combination of historic charm, natural surroundings, and excellent local amenities while maintaining easy connections to Amsterdam.
Downsides
- The non-self-occupancy clause applies to this property, restricting purchase to buy-to-let investors or those who will not occupy the property themselves. This significantly limits the potential buyer pool.
- The asking price of 775,000 euros translates to approximately 4,905 euros per square meter, which is relatively high even considering the recent renovations. This is noteworthy for a terraced house in a town of approximately 18,000 inhabitants.
- The garden, while enjoying a favorable west-facing orientation, is modest at 58 square meters with dimensions of 6.70 by 8.70 meters. This may feel limited for those seeking more substantial outdoor space.
- The energy label B is acceptable but not exceptional for a property built in 1994. Potential buyers may want to investigate whether further energy efficiency improvements are warranted or possible.
- Water access from the area is restricted to small, open boats only, which may disappoint those hoping for broader waterway access or the ability to moor larger vessels.
