Description
This terraced house situated on Zonegge in Zevenaar presents an opportunity for buyers seeking a property they can customize to their own preferences. Built in 1977, the residence offers a generous living area of approximately 152 square meters spread across three floors, providing ample space for a family to make this house their home.
The ground floor welcomes you through a hallway that houses the meter cupboard and a toilet. From here, you enter the bright and spacious living room, which features a wood-burning stove that serves as an attractive focal point. The living area benefits from natural light and has a pleasant atmosphere. An L-shaped kitchen is located at the rear of the property and offers the chance to completely renovate and design it according to your personal taste and requirements. The kitchen provides direct access to the sunny garden through a sliding door equipped with an awning for shade during warmer days.
A storage room on the ground floor connects to the indoor garage, which has electricity, heating, and running water, making it suitable not only for parking a vehicle but also for use as a workshop or additional storage space. The garage adds practical value to the property.
The first floor is accessed via a staircase leading to a landing that provides entry to three spacious bedrooms and the bathroom. One of the bedrooms has the added benefit of a balcony overlooking the rear garden, allowing you to enjoy outdoor space from the comfort of your room. The bathroom is equipped with a shower, a second toilet, and a washbasin. Additionally, the landing offers access to a substantial storage area, which is useful for keeping household items organized and out of sight.
The second floor is reached via a fixed staircase and represents one of the most appealing aspects of this property. This space currently offers considerable potential and could be developed to create two additional bedrooms, a home office, or extra storage room, depending on the needs of the new owners. This flexibility makes the property suitable for growing families or those who require a workspace at home.
The outdoor space is a notable feature of this residence. The rear garden measures 135 square meters and extends approximately 15 meters in depth with a width of 9 meters. Positioned facing southwest, the garden receives plenty of sunlight throughout the afternoon and evening, making it an enjoyable place to relax and spend time outdoors. There is also a front garden, contributing to the overall appeal of the property.
In terms of energy efficiency, the property has an energy label C. The roof and walls have insulation installed. Heating is provided by a Remeha Avanta 35c combi boiler from 2020, which is gas-fired and owned by the current owners. The presence of a wood-burning stove offers an alternative or supplementary heating option. The property also features mechanical ventilation.
The total plot area measures 263 square meters according to the listing, with cadastral data showing two parcels: one of 213 square meters and another of 50 square meters. The building has a gable roof covered with tiles and has a volume of 560 cubic meters.
Parking is available on the property itself thanks to the indoor garage, and there is also public parking in the vicinity for additional vehicles or visitors.
The property is located on a quiet road within a residential neighborhood in Zevenaar. The town offers a range of amenities including supermarkets, shops, restaurants, and cafes. Cultural facilities include a theater and a film house for cinema enthusiasts. Looking to the future, plans are underway to develop an international outlet center on the outskirts of Zevenaar, and the extension of the A15 motorway will improve the town's connectivity even further.
Zevenaar maintains a village character while providing the conveniences associated with larger urban areas. The location is particularly advantageous for commuters, as major cities such as Arnhem, Doetinchem, and Nijmegen can all be reached within approximately 30 minutes by car.
The asking price for this property is set at 399,000 euros, which translates to approximately 2,625 euros per square meter of living space. The transfer is subject to negotiation regarding the acceptance date, allowing flexibility for both buyers and sellers to arrange the timing of the move.
Fiber optic cable and TV cable connections are available in the property, ensuring modern communication and entertainment options. The house is classified as an existing construction single-family terraced home with three residential levels containing five rooms in total, of which four are designated as bedrooms according to the features section.
This property is well-suited for buyers who appreciate having the freedom to put their own stamp on a home. The kitchen and second floor in particular offer significant scope for personalization and improvement. The solid foundation provided by the maintained structure, combined with practical elements such as the garage, good-sized bedrooms, and the attractive garden, creates a basis from which new owners can create their ideal living environment.
