Description
This newly constructed terraced home, known as an Ambachtswoning, presents a practical and appealing living solution in a residential neighborhood setting. The property is situated along a quiet road, offering a peaceful environment for future residents while still being part of an established community.
The home spans three living levels, providing ample space for a family or individuals seeking room to spread out. With a living area of approximately 98 square meters and a total volume of 300 cubic meters, this residence offers comfortable dimensions for daily living. The property width measures 3.90 meters, which is a standard dimension for this type of terraced construction.
At the front, the residence features its own small stoop where residents can place a bench, creating a welcoming entrance. This small outdoor space at the front adds character to the property and provides a spot to enjoy the neighborhood atmosphere.
The interior layout includes multiple rooms designed for flexible use. According to the listing details, the home offers either three or four bedrooms, with the property featuring a total of six rooms. This discrepancy in the bedroom count may relate to how certain spaces can be configured by future owners. The home includes one completed bathroom equipped with a shower and washbasin, as well as a separate toilet room. These essential facilities are already finished, reducing the need for immediate renovation work upon moving in.
A notable architectural feature mentioned is the presence of one or more windows extending from floor to ceiling. These full-height windows will bring significant natural light into the interior spaces and can create a sense of openness and connection to the outdoors.
The outdoor area behind the property is particularly appealing. The south-facing garden receives excellent sunlight throughout the day, making it an ideal space for gardening, outdoor dining, or simply relaxing. South-facing gardens are highly sought after as they maximize exposure to sunlight, especially during the warmer months. The garden is complemented by a freestanding storage shed, providing convenient space for garden tools, bicycles, or other items that benefit from separate storage.
The total plot measures 85 square meters, which includes both the footprint of the home and the garden area. While modest in size, this outdoor space is efficiently designed to provide practical utility.
From a sustainability perspective, this property excels. It is completely gas-free, utilizing an air heat pump system for heating needs. The energy label rating of A++++ indicates exceptional energy efficiency, which will result in lower energy costs for residents while also reducing environmental impact. The home is fully insulated throughout, contributing to its excellent thermal performance. Additionally, solar panels are included as part of the property features, further enhancing its sustainable credentials. Hot water is provided through an electric boiler system.
The heating system consists of warm air heating combined with the heat pump, representing a modern approach to residential climate control. Mechanical ventilation is also installed, ensuring proper air circulation throughout the home without the need to open windows regularly.
Parking is provided through a private parking space located on shared land (mandelig terrein). This arrangement means that while the parking space is designated for this property's use, the underlying land is jointly owned with neighboring property owners. This is a common arrangement in Dutch residential developments and typically comes with established agreements regarding maintenance and use.
The property features a flat roof construction, which is typical for contemporary new-build homes in the Netherlands. The roof design contributes to the modern aesthetic of the residence.
As a new construction project, the home comes with an SWK Guarantee certificate. This warranty provides important protections for buyers of new homes, covering potential construction defects for a specified period. This guarantee adds significant value and peace of mind for prospective owners.
The listed asking price is 498,000 euros, free on name (vrij op naam). This pricing structure means that transfer taxes and notary fees for the property transfer are included in this price, though buyers should verify exactly what costs are covered. The price per square meter works out to approximately 5,082 euros, which reflects the premium nature of new construction with high energy efficiency standards.
It is important to note that the property is currently listed as being under option (onder optie). This status indicates that another prospective buyer has expressed serious interest and has likely secured a period during which the property is reserved for them while they complete their due diligence or arrange financing. Properties under option may still become available if the option is not exercised or expires.
The anticipated completion year for this property is 2027. This extended timeline reflects the planning and construction schedule for new residential developments. Buyers should consider this timeline when making their purchase decisions, particularly if they have specific moving date requirements.
The listing includes a standard disclaimer noting that all information, including texts, calculations, offers, and illustrations, has been compiled with care but cannot be considered binding. Illustrations and artist impressions are provided as examples only and may not exactly represent the final result. All information, including prices and conditions, may be subject to change. This disclaimer is standard practice in Dutch real estate, particularly for new construction projects where final specifications may evolve during the planning and building process.
The property is identified with the cadastral designation GOUDA, indicating its location within or near the city of Gouda in the Netherlands. Gouda is a well-known Dutch city famous for its cheese, stroopwafels, and historic city center. The residential area where this property is located offers the benefits of suburban living while maintaining connections to urban amenities.
In summary, this Ambachtswoning represents a modern, energy-efficient residential option for buyers willing to wait for new construction completion. Its combination of sustainable features, practical layout, and south-facing outdoor space makes it a compelling choice for those prioritizing energy performance and contemporary living standards. The SWK guarantee provides additional assurance regarding construction quality, while the gas-free design aligns with the Netherlands' broader goals for residential sustainability.
