Modern Gas-Free Terraced Home with Energy Label A+++ Near Leeuwarden Center
Key Features
Upsides
- The property features a sustainable and future-proof setup with Energy Label A+++, a geothermal heat pump, 15 solar panels, and is fully gasless, ensuring very low energy costs.
- The home is completely move-in ready following recent renovations in 2024 and 2025, including a new kitchen, bathroom, heat recovery system, and full interior and exterior painting.
- The location in the popular Vegelinbuurt offers a quiet, child-friendly environment that is still centrally located near the historic city center of Leeuwarden, green areas, and major exit roads.
- The backyard is low-maintenance and sunny, featuring a canopy and a detached shed with electricity, and provides direct access to private parking via a back alley.
Downsides
- As a terraced house built in 2005, it features a flat roof covered with bitumen, which typically requires more maintenance and has a shorter lifespan compared to pitched roofs.
- The property relies on public parking (openbaar parkeren) rather than having a private driveway on the plot, which might require finding a space depending on the occupancy of the rear parking area.
- With a living area of 107 square meters divided into three bedrooms, the bedrooms are relatively modest in size (9, 10, and 13 square meters), which might be limiting for larger families or those needing significant home office space.
Description
This excellently maintained terraced house, built in 2005, is situated on the Ypeijstraat in the popular Vegelinbuurt district of Leeuwarden. The property offers a living space of 107 square meters and is located on a plot of 126 square meters. It combines modern residential comfort with sustainable facilities, allowing for a carefree living experience with low energy costs. The home is available immediately and is fully gasless. Residents can enjoy a pleasant indoor climate all year round thanks to a renewed geothermal heat pump installed in 2024, along with floor heating and floor cooling throughout the property. The house is equipped with fifteen solar panels and a renewed heat recovery ventilation (WTW) installation also from 2024. These features contribute to the energy label A+++ and ensure minimal energy expenses. The interior has been recently updated with a new kitchen and bathroom in 2024, and the entire interior and exterior painting was completed in 2025, meaning the home is move-in ready without any need for immediate renovations.
The location in the Vegelinbuurt, also known as Achter de Hoven, is characterized as central and child-friendly. The neighborhood is situated between the city center of Leeuwarden and the green Potmarge area. Daily amenities such as supermarkets, primary schools, public transport, and sports facilities are all within easy reach. The historic city center of Leeuwarden, with its wide range of shops, restaurants, and cultural offerings, is just a few minutes away by bike or on foot. For commuters, the exit roads towards Drachten, Heerenveen, and Groningen are easily accessible. The combination of a central location, ample facilities, and proximity to both the city and greenery makes this location particularly attractive for potential buyers.
The layout of the house begins on the ground floor with an entrance, a meterkast, and a modern toilet room with a fountain. The meterkast is renewed and contains sixteen groups and two earth leakage circuit breakers. The spacious living room features patio doors that open to the garden, allowing for plenty of natural light. Adjacent to the living room is a modern living kitchen installed in 2024, which is equipped with a dishwasher, extractor hood, refrigerator, and oven. There is also a walk-in or pantry cupboard and a utility room that provides access to the sunny backyard. A hall with a fixed staircase leads to the first floor.
On the first floor, there is a landing featuring a skylight. The floor hosts three bedrooms. The first bedroom is located at the rear of the house and measures approximately 13 square meters. The second bedroom is at the front and measures about 10 square meters, featuring a French balcony. The third bedroom, also at the rear, is approximately 9 square meters in size. The modern bathroom, renovated in 2024, is equipped with a walk-in shower, a second toilet, a natural stone sink with furniture, and mechanical ventilation. Additionally, there is a storage room on this floor that houses the washing machine connection and the WTW installation.
The outdoor space consists of a maintenance-free backyard facing the sunny south, or southwest according to specific features, accessible via a back entrance. The garden includes a canopy with a seating area and a detached shed or storage unit of about 7 square meters equipped with electricity. Via the back entrance, there is direct access to the parking spaces behind the property. This ensures that the car can always be parked nearby while keeping the street at the front quiet and clear. The property has a flat roof covered with bituminous roofing material and is fully insulated with insulating HR++ glazing.
Technically, the property is in excellent condition with a volume of 389 cubic meters. It is classified as an existing terraced house and is offered for a fixed price. The ownership situation is full ownership. The home is completely gasless with hot water, heating, and cooling provided by the geothermal heat pump. The measurement of the property is based on the Branch Broad Measurement Instruction (BBMI). While this instruction aims for a more uniform method of measuring to give an indication of the usable surface area, differences in measurement results cannot be entirely excluded due to interpretation differences, rounding, or limitations during the measurement. The broker, De Vos Makelaardij B.V., accepts no liability for the correctness of the floor plans.
