Key Features
Description
This well-maintained family home is situated in a pleasant and quiet residential area in the Espelervaart-Espelervaart West neighbourhood of Emmeloord. The property is a terraced house that was originally built in 1976 and has since been kept in good condition by its current owners. The house benefits from an energy label B, which indicates reasonable energy efficiency for a property of this age.
The location of this property is particularly advantageous for families with young children, as it borders a quiet playground area. Within walking distance, residents will find schools, a large supermarket, and various other shops, making daily errands convenient and straightforward. The neighbourhood itself is characterised by its peaceful atmosphere while still offering easy access to local amenities.
The total living area of the property measures 114 square metres, spread across two full residential floors and an additional attic level. The plot size is 127 square metres, which is considered generous for a terraced house. The property also includes an external storage space of 7 square metres in the form of a free-standing stone shed equipped with electricity.
One of the notable features of this home is the amount of outdoor space available. The front garden measures approximately 10 by 4.5 metres and provides a pleasant enclosed entrance to the property. The rear garden faces west, measuring approximately 8 by 4.5 metres, which equates to 36 square metres. A west-facing garden is highly desirable in the Netherlands as it allows residents to enjoy the afternoon and evening sun. Both gardens offer good privacy, and there is always a spot to sit in either sun or shade depending on preference. The rear garden is accessible via a back path, which is a practical feature.
Entering the property on the ground floor, you find a hallway with a toilet room featuring a fountain, the meter cupboard, and the staircase to the first floor. The living room is accessed from this hallway and is a bright space with an epoxy gravel floor and a practical storage cupboard. From the living room, there is direct access to the garden through a door, which is convenient during the warmer months. The kitchen is adjacent to the living room and is connected through a playful opening, creating a sense of connection between the cooking and living areas while maintaining some separation.
The kitchen is modern and well-equipped with built-in appliances. These include a dishwasher installed in 2024, a refrigerator, a freezer, a gas hob, a combi oven and microwave also from 2024, and an extractor hood. The ground floor also features partial underfloor heating, which adds to the comfort level, particularly during the colder months.
The first floor is reached via a fixed staircase and comprises a landing with a linen cupboard, three bedrooms, and a modern bathroom. All three bedrooms are fitted with laminate flooring, and one of the rooms includes a built-in wardrobe, providing additional storage space. The bathroom was renovated in 2023 and is a light and contemporary space. It features a walk-in shower, a second toilet, and a washbasin set in a furniture unit. Having a second toilet on this floor is a practical feature for families.
Another fixed staircase leads to the second floor, which is essentially an attic space with significant potential. Currently, this area houses the central heating boiler, which is a Nefit Proline gas-fired combi boiler from 2014 that is owned rather than rented. There are skylights that bring natural light into this space. The second floor offers substantial storage space and includes a washing machine connection. Most importantly, there is the possibility to create a fourth bedroom on this level, which would increase the functionality of the home for growing families or those needing a home office or guest room.
The property has double glazing throughout, contributing to its energy efficiency. The heating system combines the central heating boiler with partial underfloor heating on the ground floor. Mechanical ventilation is installed, which helps maintain good air quality throughout the home. A fibre optic cable connection is available, which is essential for modern internet and television requirements.
The roof is a gable roof covered with tiles, which is a typical and durable construction for Dutch homes of this era. The total volume of the property is 400 cubic metres.
Parking is available on public roads in the vicinity of the property. The asking price is 299,500 euros, which is offered on a costs koper basis, meaning the buyer is responsible for the usual transfer costs such as the notary fees and property transfer tax.
The asking price per square metre of living space works out to approximately 2,627 euros, which can be used as a benchmark when comparing this property to similar homes in the area. The property is currently available for viewing by appointment.
This home presents itself as a practical and comfortable family residence in a convenient location. The combination of the playground proximity, the shops within walking distance, and the good condition of the property makes it particularly suitable for families with children. The recent updates to the bathroom and toilet in 2023, along with the new kitchen appliances from 2024, mean that the new owner will not face immediate renovation expenses in these areas. The potential to create a fourth bedroom on the second floor adds future flexibility to the property.
