Características clave
Puntos a favor
- Exceptional location within walking distance of the beach and the lively town center of Monster, making it ideal for those who value coastal living and easy access to amenities.
- The property sits on a generous 128 square meter plot with a deep, sunny rear garden spanning approximately 65 square meters, offering ample outdoor space and potential for expansion of the existing structure.
- Four bedrooms provide versatile living options, suitable for families or those needing home office space, and the large attic with standing height offers further development possibilities such as an additional bedroom or living area.
- The inclusion of eight ready to use solar panels contributes to reduced energy costs and demonstrates a willingness by the seller to leave modernizations in place.
- Excellent connectivity with schools, public transport, major roads, and sufficient free parking nearby, making everyday life practical and convenient for residents.
Puntos en contra
- The property is classified as a renovation project and requires significant modernization, including window upgrades, bathroom renovation, and general interior refurbishment, which will involve considerable time and financial investment.
- Energy label D indicates poor energy efficiency, and the property features single glazing in most areas along with a 1957 construction year, suggesting high heating costs and potential substantial renovation to meet modern standards.
- With a living area of only 76 square meters, the property is relatively compact despite having four bedrooms, which may result in smaller room dimensions and limited open plan living possibilities.
- The deep but apparently narrow garden dimensions raise questions about usability, and the northeast facing orientation may limit sunlight exposure in the mornings while providing afternoon and evening sun.
- The property is sold as is, with standard disclaimer language indicating no liability for accuracy of information, requiring due diligence and professional inspection before purchase.
Descripción
This terraced house is situated in Monster, a charming coastal town in South Holland, within just a two minute walking distance from the vibrant town center and approximately ten minutes from the beach. Built around 1957, the property offers approximately 76 square meters of living space distributed across two floors, with an additional storage attic accessible via a loft ladder. The house sits on a spacious plot of about 128 square meters, providing ample outdoor space and expansion possibilities.
The ground floor features a practical layout starting with an entrance hall that houses the meter box, a deep cellar cabinet, a toilet, and the staircase leading to the upper level. The bright and spacious living room benefits from hardwood frames, with double glazing at the front and single glazing at the rear. Adjacent to the living area is a simple closed kitchen that includes a washing machine connection, and a door that provides access to the rear garden.
One of the standout features of this property is the generous and sunny backyard, which faces northeast and extends deep into the plot, offering sun exposure throughout the day until sunset. The garden provides access via a back entrance and contains a free standing stone storage shed equipped with electricity and heating.
The first floor comprises a landing that leads to all rooms, an interior bathroom equipped with a shower corner and sink, and four bedrooms. Three of the four bedrooms feature built in wardrobes. All bedrooms are fitted with hardwood window frames and single glazing throughout. The property includes a large storage attic reachable via a loft ladder, which offers standing height in the ridge and serves as the location for the central heating boiler. This attic space presents further expansion potential, such as the possibility of installing a roof window or dormer.
The property is equipped with eight solar panels that are ready for use, contributing to reduced energy costs. The central heating system consists of a Crane gas fired boiler, owned by the homeowner. The house has an energy label D and features partial double glazing, with single glazing in the rear elevation and most upper level windows. A notable practical feature is the high crawl space accessible via a hatch in the kitchen, which provides good access for maintenance and storage.
Outside, the property offers a free standing stone storage shed with electricity and heating, providing additional storage or workshop possibilities. Parking is available in the surrounding public areas with sufficient free parking opportunities nearby.
The location is highly convenient for daily amenities and transport connections. Schools are situated in the immediate vicinity, and major road arteries are easily reachable, making commuting straightforward. The property lies within walking distance of the town center of Monster, offering shops, restaurants, and services, while the North Sea beach is approximately a ten minute walk away. The area benefits from public transport options and good connections to larger cities in the region.
With its four bedrooms, large plot, and sunny deep garden, this house offers substantial potential for families seeking a property with room to grow. The existing structure provides a solid foundation that can be modernized and expanded according to personal preferences, whether through interior renovations, window upgrades, or attic conversion. The combination of proximity to the beach, town center, and the spacious outdoor area makes this a compelling option for those willing to undertake a renovation project.

Air Conditioning

Central Heating
The particulars clearly state: 'Cv-ketel Crane (gas gestookt, eigendom)'. This is a central heating boiler owned by the seller. The listing also mentions the CV-ketel is located in the attic (vliering).
Fireplace
No fireplace is mentioned in the description, ground floor, first floor, attic, or particulars. Dutch houses from the 1950s sometimes had fireplaces, but this listing makes no reference to one.
Underfloor Heating
No underfloor heating is mentioned. The property has a CV-ketel for heating via radiators (standard for 1957 construction). Underfloor heating would be a modern addition that would likely be advertised as a feature given the renovation potential. Not mentioned.

Private Indoor Sauna
No sauna is mentioned. The bathroom is described as simple with only a shower corner and sink. A sauna would be explicitly mentioned as a premium feature given the modest nature of the rest of the property.
Built-In Wardrobes
The listing explicitly states: '4 slaapkamers, waarvan 3 met vaste kast' (4 bedrooms, of which 3 have fixed wardrobes). This confirms the presence of built-in wardrobes in the property.
French Doors
No French doors are described. The listing mentions the kitchen has access to the living room and the garden is accessed via 'achterom' (back entrance). No French doors to the garden or terrace are mentioned.
Ornamental Plasterwork
This is a standard Dutch terraced house from 1957. Ornamental plasterwork (stucco) is not mentioned. Dutch homes of this era typically featured simple, functional finishes rather than elaborate ornamental plasterwork.
Estilo interior
Scandinavian
The property is described as a 'kluswoning' (renovation project) requiring full renovation. This is the opposite of the move-in ready, minimalist aesthetic typical of Scandinavian style, which would demand pristine finishes not possible in a fixer-upper.
Modern
A 1957 construction described as a 'kluswoning' with only partial double glazing, single-glazed bedrooms, and a simple kitchen cannot be considered modern. The property needs complete renovation to meet modern standards.
Industrial
The raw state of the property and its description as a renovation project has some conceptual overlap with industrial aesthetics. However, no actual industrial design elements like exposed brick, steel beams, or concrete finishes are mentioned in the listing.
Mediterranean
Located in the Netherlands with a northeast-facing garden (less sun) and a typical Dutch terraced construction from 1957. No Mediterranean architectural or design features mentioned.
Classic
The property dates from 1957, which is an era that often carries traditional/classic characteristics. Hardwood window frames and the overall layout of the house (deep cellar, separate rooms, traditional staircase) align with a classic Dutch housing style from that period. However, the state is too deteriorated to truly reflect classic elegance.
Estilo exterior

Boiling Water Tap
There is no indication of a boiling water tap (e.g., Quooker); such a feature is not referenced in the listing.
Downdraft Extractor
The description does not mention a downdraft extractor; the kitchen appears to be simple with standard fixtures.
Shared Kitchen
This is a single‑family home (eengezinswoning) and each unit has its own kitchen, so a shared kitchen is not applicable.
Design Kitchen
The kitchen is described as a simple, closed kitchen from 1957, lacking modern design elements. Its design level is low.
New Kitchen
Given the age of the property and the lack of mention of renovations, the kitchen is likely outdated rather than new.

The features section confirms 'Gedeeltelijk dubbel glas' (partially double glazed). All four bedrooms have single glazing with hardwood frames.
Triple Glazing
There is no mention of triple glazing anywhere in the listing. The property only partially has double glazing at the front, with single glazing elsewhere.
Wall Insulation
No specific mention of wall insulation. The property was built in 1957 and is described as a renovation project ('Kluswoning') with only partial double glazing, strongly suggesting wall insulation is absent. Energy label D also supports this inference.
