Spacious Five-Bedroom Terraced Home with Garage and Garden in Maassluis
Key Features
Upsides
- The property offers an impressive five bedrooms spread across three floors, providing ample space for families or those needing a home office and guest rooms.
- Recent updates include a new central heating boiler from December 2023 and new glass in the master bedroom installed in 2024, reducing immediate maintenance concerns.
- The property includes both a detached stone garage with electricity and an additional stone storage shed, offering significant outdoor storage capacity that is uncommon for terraced houses.
- The location in a child friendly neighborhood features a green strip, mature trees, and a canal directly in front, creating a pleasant and spacious streetscape that is rare in urban settings.
- The asking price of approximately 3,467 euros per square meter is competitive for the Maassluis market given the number of bedrooms and included garage.
Downsides
- One bedroom on the first floor has only a wide open passage to the landing rather than a proper door, which compromises privacy and may not count as a full bedroom for all purposes.
- The second floor landing is described as narrow, which could make moving furniture to the upper bedrooms challenging and creates a cramped feel on that level.
- With a 1974 construction year and only an energy label C rating, the property will likely require insulation improvements to meet modern energy efficiency standards and reduce heating costs.
- Parking is limited to public street parking only, which may be competitive in a family neighborhood, despite the presence of a garage that can hold one car.
- The kitchen layout appears dated with upper cabinets only and a separate tall cabinet, suggesting it may need renovation to meet contemporary expectations for a home at this price point.

The back garden specifically measures 64 square meters, being 9.93 meters deep and 6.43 meters wide, oriented to the northwest and accessible via a rear path.
The asking price is 475,000 euros, which translates to approximately 3,467 euros per square meter of living space. The property is offered with a cost buyer structure, meaning the buyer is responsible for transfer taxes and notary fees associated with the purchase.
Given that the property was built over 30 years ago, a standard age clause will be included in the purchase agreement.
