Key Features
Description
The property located at Wilhelminalaan 23 in the village of Zwartewaal, within the Tuindorp-Hofstede neighborhood, presents itself as a renovation project suitable for starters or buyers with handyman skills. The asking price is set at 255,000 euros, which is a buyer's cost price, meaning additional costs such as transfer tax and notary fees will apply on top of this amount.
This terraced house was built in 1963 and has a living area of approximately 79 square meters. The total plot size measures 155 square meters, while the gross volume of the property is approximately 315 cubic meters. Additionally, there is over 10 square meters of indoor space not counted as living area, plus 8 square meters of external storage space.
The ground floor layout begins with an entrance hall that provides access to the staircase leading to the upper floor. In the hall, there is a meter cupboard and a closet underneath the stairs that can serve as storage space. A separate toilet room is available, featuring a standing toilet. From the entrance hall, one can enter both the living room and the kitchen area. The kitchen is currently installed as a simple kitchen unit, which indicates that a new buyer would likely want to modernize this space. Through a patio door in the kitchen area, the backyard is directly accessible.
On the first floor, a landing provides access to three bedrooms, making this property suitable for a small family or a couple needing a home office space. The dimensions of these bedrooms can be found in the detailed floor plans that accompany the property listing. The bathroom on this floor is equipped with a washbasin and a shower. Additionally, the bathroom contains the installation point for the washing machine, which is a practical feature that keeps laundry facilities out of the living areas.
Above the first floor, a loft ladder provides access to the attic space. This area is not a full floor but serves as storage and houses the central heating boiler and the mechanical ventilation unit. The presence of mechanical ventilation is a positive feature for a property of this age, as it helps with air circulation throughout the home.
The backyard is situated on the east side of the property. The listing notes that due to the low-rise buildings in the surrounding area, the garden receives pleasant sunlight. At the rear of the garden stands a stone storage shed, which provides additional storage space for garden equipment, bicycles, or other items. The property also has a front garden.
Regarding energy efficiency, the property has been assigned an energy label C. The windows feature partial double glazing, which means that some windows have been upgraded while others may still have single glazing. Heating and hot water are provided by a gas-fired combination boiler that is owned by the current owner, meaning it will transfer to the buyer as part of the property.
The location is described as being on a busy road while simultaneously being situated within a residential area. This suggests that while the street may see some traffic, the immediate surroundings maintain a residential character. Parking is available on public roads in the vicinity.
Several legal and contractual conditions apply to this property that potential buyers should be aware of. A priority arrangement under the Housing Act is applicable, which typically gives certain categories of buyers priority in purchasing. A self-occupancy requirement applies, meaning the buyer must intend to live in the property themselves rather than renting it out. Furthermore, a non-self-occupied clause is mentioned, which relates to the current occupancy status of the property. An age clause applies due to the construction year of 1963, which is standard for older properties and serves to inform buyers that the property does not meet modern construction standards. Interestingly, an old-fatherland right rests on the property, which specifically concerns fishing rights.
The property will be delivered without a standard questionnaire and without a list of items, which means the buyer will not receive the usual detailed information about the property's condition and the inventory that transfers with the sale. This is important to note as it places more responsibility on the buyer to assess the property's condition during viewings.
Transfer will take place through a designated project notary, specifically Katoen Notarissen located in Spijkenisse. The delivery date is negotiable, with the listing indicating that a quick transfer is possible.
Open house viewing sessions have been scheduled to allow interested parties to view the property. These sessions are planned for Thursday May 21 between 17:00 and 18:00 hours and Saturday May 23 between 15:00 and 16:00 hours. Additional viewing dates may be available.
The listing advises interested buyers to engage their own NVM purchase agent to represent their interests during the buying process. The price per square meter of living space comes to approximately 3,228 euros, which provides a reference point for comparing this property with others in the area.
In summary, this property offers a renovation opportunity in the village of Zwartewaal for buyers who are prepared to invest time and money into modernizing a 1960s terraced house. The basic structure and layout are present, with three bedrooms and a functional bathroom, but significant updating will likely be required, particularly in the kitchen area and potentially throughout the property to improve energy efficiency and modernize the interior finishings.
