Spacious and Energy-Efficient Family Home with 4 Bedrooms and Garage
Key Features
Upsides
- The property is energy-efficient with an A energy label, achieved through features like HR-glas, roof and floor insulation, 14 solar panels, and multiple air-to-air heat pumps.
- The home is spacious for its type, offering approximately 123 m² of living space with 4 bedrooms, a large garden of 13 meters deep, and a garage.
- It is located in a quiet, child-friendly village with good amenities and excellent transport links to larger cities like Hoorn, Alkmaar, and Amsterdam.
Downsides
- The home is a terraced house, meaning it shares walls with neighbors, which can affect privacy compared to a detached or semi-detached property.
- The property was built in 1977, and while many features have been updated, the age of the building itself may still be a consideration for some buyers.
- The listing mentions 'air-to-air heat pumps' for heating, which are generally less efficient for whole-house heating in cold climates compared to a ground-source heat pump or a high-efficiency gas boiler alone, although the presence of a new gas combi-ketel provides a backup.
Description
This spacious family home is located in the charming village of Obdam, within the municipality of Koggenland. The property, a terraced house built in 1977, offers a generous living space of approximately 123 square meters on a freehold plot of 160 square meters. The home is designed to provide a comfortable and modern living environment for families, featuring four bedrooms, a sunny garden, and a garage. The house has been well-maintained and updated with several energy-saving features, contributing to its A energy label. The location in Obdam provides a peaceful and child-friendly atmosphere with convenient access to local amenities and major cities.
The ground floor of the property features a bright entrance hall with a utility meter cupboard and a spacious cloakroom area, providing ample room for coats and shoes. The hall leads into the inviting living room, which serves as the heart of the home. The living room is finished with an attractive herringbone-pattern PVC floor and has subtle recessed lighting that creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Adjacent to the living room is the modern open-plan kitchen, which is equipped with an induction hob, a mixer tap, a dishwasher, and an oven. A large window and a garden door in the kitchen allow for plenty of natural light and offer pleasant views of the rear garden. For year-round comfort, the living room is fitted with an air-to-air heat pump, and the crawl space beneath the house has been insulated.
Moving to the first floor, a staircase with attractive lighting leads to the landing. This floor accommodates two comfortable bedrooms, both of which are equipped with air-to-air heat pumps for additional climate control. There is also a separate room on this level that can serve various purposes, such as a home office, a hobby room, or an additional child's bedroom. The bathroom on this floor is designed for practicality and features a washbasin, a tilt window for natural ventilation, and a spacious walk-in shower. A separate toilet room is also located on the first floor for added convenience.
The second floor is accessible via a fixed staircase. The landing on this floor provides access to a spacious storage room, ideal for storing seasonal items and other household belongings. This floor houses the generous master bedroom, which also benefits from an air-to-air heat pump. The room has a neat laminate floor and large windows that offer an unobstructed view of the playground located at the front of the property. The spacious layout and abundant natural light make this a comfortable and quiet space for relaxation.
The outdoor area of the property is one of its key attractions. The sunny rear garden has an impressive depth of approximately 13 meters and covers an area of 76 square meters. The garden is located on the south, offering plenty of sunshine throughout the day. Its depth ensures there are always both sunny and shaded spots available. The garden provides ample space for outdoor dining, gardening, or for children to play. At the rear of the garden, there is a spacious, freestanding stone garage. The garage has electricity and can accommodate one car, but it also offers excellent potential for use as a storage space, a hobby area, or even a home workspace. Access to the garden is via a back entrance.
The property is situated in a quiet and child-friendly residential neighborhood with a playground conveniently located at the front of the house. The village of Obdam itself offers a pleasant combination of rural tranquility and good accessibility. Residents can enjoy the surrounding polder landscape, which is perfect for walking and cycling enthusiasts. The village has its own train station, providing direct connections to cities like Hoorn and Amsterdam. There are also good bus connections for further mobility. Daily amenities in Obdam include supermarkets, shops, and various cafes and restaurants, all within easy reach. For families, the village offers several primary schools and an active community life with sports facilities nearby.
In terms of sustainability and energy efficiency, the property has several modern features. It is equipped with fourteen solar panels that were installed around 2020. The window frames on the rear facade were replaced with uPVC frames and HR glazing in 2020, and the front facade received the same treatment in 2023. These improvements, along with roof and floor insulation, have resulted in an A energy label. The home is heated by a central heating system with a recently renewed Intergas HR combi boiler from 2025. The property also features mechanical and natural ventilation systems, as well as rolluiken for added comfort and security. Glass fiber and TV cables are available. The asking price for this move-in ready home is 385,000 euros, buyer's costs, which is approximately 3,130 euros per square meter of living space. The details regarding the acceptance of the property are open for discussion.
