Waterfront Semi-Detached Home with Private Dock on the Vecht River
Key Features
Upsides
- Direct waterfront location on the Vecht River with a private docking facility, offering unique water recreation opportunities and direct access to the Loosdrechtse Plassen.
- Exceptionally large plot of 780 square meters with parking space for approximately six cars on own premises plus a garage that accommodates two vehicles.
- Numerous recent updates including kitchen renovation in 2021, flat roof replacement in 2023, shed roof insulation in 2025, and exterior painting in 2024/2025, indicating good maintenance.
- Spacious outbuilding with 380V electrical connection, making it ready for electric vehicle charging installation and suitable for various uses such as a home workshop or additional storage.
- Central location between Amsterdam and Utrecht with excellent accessibility to train stations, schools, shops, and major roadways while maintaining a peaceful, scenic riverside setting.
Downsides
- Energy label C indicates moderate energy efficiency, and the property only has partial double glazing alongside secondary windows, which may result in higher energy costs compared to more modern insulation standards.
- The price per square meter of living space is very high at approximately 9,917 euros, considering the 120 square meters of living area for a property priced at 1,190,000 euros.
- The 1920 construction year, while adding character, may present hidden maintenance challenges typical of century-old buildings despite the recent updates to specific components.
- The garden orientation to the northwest means limited direct sunlight on the outdoor spaces during the afternoon and evening hours, which may affect enjoyment of the terrace areas.
- The semi-detached nature of the property means shared walls with neighbors, which can potentially result in noise transmission compared to fully detached alternatives.

Step aboard for a relaxing boat trip towards the Loosdrechtse Plassen or discover the characteristic country estates and picturesque villages along the river. On beautiful days, the water forms a natural extension of the living environment.
