This property is situated on Wilgenlaan in the Malburgen-West district of Arnhem. The home is located in a well regarded pre war residential area that offers residents a combination of tranquility, green surroundings and proximity to urban amenities. The house was originally built in 1935 and retains characteristic features from that era while having received various modern updates over the years.

The ground floor of the property begins with an entrance hall that provides access to the living and dining area, the kitchen, a toilet and a storage closet under the stairs. The living room is positioned at the front of the house and features a characteristic bay window that adds both natural light and visual appeal to the space. The entire ground floor has been fitted with laminate flooring. At the rear of the living area there is a door leading directly to the back garden. The closed kitchen was installed in 2017 and comes equipped with built in appliances including a four burner gas stove, an extractor hood, a refrigerator, a freezer, an oven and a dishwasher that was replaced in 2025.

A fixed staircase leads to the second floor which serves as an attic space. This area provides ample storage room and contains the washing machine connection. A skylight has been installed to bring natural light into this space. The current layout offers the possibility to create an additional bedroom on this floor. There is also potential to expand this floor further by adding a dormer window, which would increase both the usable floor area and the headroom.

The property features gardens at both the front and the rear. The back garden is located on the northwest side of the property, measuring approximately 58 square meters with dimensions of 12 meters in depth and 4.8 meters in width. This orientation means the garden receives afternoon and evening sunlight. The garden includes a freestanding wooden storage shed that was built in 2022 and there is a side passage providing access to the back of the property without going through the house.

Several significant maintenance and improvement projects have been carried out on the property in recent years. The roof was completely replaced and insulated in 2019. The mechanical ventilation system was updated in 2025. The ground floor windows feature HR+ double glazing. The exterior paint work has been maintained on a rolling schedule with the front of the ground floor painted in 2025, the rear of the ground floor partially painted in 2022 with remaining work planned for 2026, and the first floor exterior painted in 2022 on both sides. The heating and hot water are provided by an Intergas combination boiler that was installed in 2011 and is owned by the current owner. The property has an energy label C rating, reflecting the combination of original construction with later insulation improvements.
