Spacious Semi-Detached Family Home with Energy Label A in Historic Weesp
Key Features
Upsides
- Energy label A rating with 13 solar panels, full insulation and double glazing, resulting in low energy costs and a sustainable profile.
- Excellent connectivity with the NS station just a 10-minute walk away and Amsterdam Central reachable in 16 minutes by train.
- Four full-sized bedrooms across three floors provide ample accommodation for families, along with a ground floor office space.
- Private parking for two vehicles on the property including a carport, which is valuable in this area.
- West-facing backyard of 72 square meters offers afternoon and evening sun exposure during summer months.
Downsides
- Only one bathroom for four bedrooms, which may create congestion during morning routines in a full household.
- The garden of 72 square meters is relatively modest for a property with 157 square meters of living space.
- The property is semi-detached, meaning there is a shared wall with an adjacent neighbor, which may affect privacy and noise levels.
- Built in 1995, the house is nearly 30 years old, which is older than newly constructed properties that might offer more modern specifications.
- No covered garage is available, only a carport, which provides less protection and security for vehicles than an enclosed garage would offer.
Description
This semi-detached family home is situated on the edge of the historic center of Weesp, a charming fortified town that became part of the municipality of Amsterdam. The property was built in 1995 and has been well maintained over the years. With a living area of 157 square meters and a plot of 214 square meters, this residence offers ample space for families looking for comfort and convenience in a scenic location.
The ground floor welcomes you with an entrance hall that includes the meter cupboard, a cloakroom, a guest toilet, and a staircase leading to the first floor. The U-shaped kitchen is equipped with all necessary appliances, making it practical for daily meal preparation. The spacious living room features an HR wood stove for supplemental heating and ambiance, two skylights that bring in natural light from above, and a large sliding door that provides direct access to the backyard. Additionally, there is a dedicated office room on this level, which can serve as a home workspace or could be used for other purposes depending on the needs of the residents. An indoor storage room is also available on the ground floor for keeping household items organized.
The first floor consists of a landing with access to the second floor, three bedrooms, and a modern bathroom. The master bedroom is located at the front of the house and offers generous dimensions. The two additional bedrooms are situated at the rear of the property and both feature full-width dormers that increase the usable floor space and bring in additional daylight. The bathroom is fitted with a double vanity unit, a walk-in shower, and a second toilet, providing all the essential facilities for a household.
The second floor houses the fourth bedroom, which is described as spacious and includes built-in storage space. This floor also contains the laundry area, the central heating boiler installation, one dormer window, and two additional skylights. The presence of these windows ensures that even the top floor of the house receives good natural illumination.
The backyard faces west, which means it benefits from afternoon and evening sunlight during the warmer months. The garden measures 72 square meters with a depth of 8.14 meters and a width of 8.90 meters. It is accessible from the living room through the sliding door as well as via a side path at the rear of the property. The listing mentions that the garden offers a good degree of privacy and has been attractively landscaped.
In terms of energy efficiency, the property holds an energy label A rating. This favorable rating is supported by the presence of 13 solar panels on the roof, full insulation, and double glazing throughout the windows. The heating system consists of a gas-fired combination boiler that is owned by the property owner, supplemented by the wood stove in the living room. Hot water is provided through the combination boiler and an electric boiler.
Parking is available on the property for two vehicles. One parking space is covered by a carport, offering protection from the elements. Having dedicated parking on-site is a practical advantage, especially in areas where street parking can be limited.
The location of this property is one of its notable features. Weesp maintains a village-like atmosphere while being part of the Amsterdam metropolitan area. The town center with its shops, restaurants, and cafes is within walking distance. Schools, childcare facilities, and sports amenities are also conveniently located nearby. For commuters, the NS train station is approximately a 10-minute walk from the house, and from there, Amsterdam Central Station can be reached in about 16 minutes by train. The property also has good connections to the A1, A9, and A10 motorways for those who travel by car. The surrounding area offers access to nature, including the Vecht river and various recreational opportunities.
The interior finish of the home features smoothly plastered walls and ceilings, giving the spaces a clean and contemporary appearance. Mechanical ventilation is installed to ensure proper air circulation throughout the house. The property is being offered with an asking price of 775,000 euros, which translates to approximately 4,936 euros per square meter of living space. The transfer is to be negotiated, and the property is currently available on the market.
With four full bedrooms spread across three floors, this home is well suited for families who need separate sleeping quarters for children or who require a home office space. The combination of a relatively recent construction year, good energy performance, and a convenient location near public transportation makes this a property that addresses many practical considerations for modern homebuyers.
The cadastre designation for the property is WEESP C 1617, and the ownership situation is full freehold, meaning there is no ground lease to consider. This provides the owner with complete control over the land and the building without periodic lease payments to a landowner.
In summary, this semi-detached residence in Weesp presents a combination of functional living space, energy efficiency, and accessibility to both local amenities and the broader Amsterdam region. The property appears to be in good condition based on the listing description, and the inclusion of features such as solar panels, a carport, and a west-facing garden add to its practical appeal for potential buyers seeking a family home in this part of the Netherlands.
