Located on the popular Van Houtenkade, with waterways right outside, this house with a garage is for sale! In this corner house, you'll experience the atmosphere of the 1930s with all the modern conveniences of today! Fortunately, the house still boasts numerous nods to the past, such as the entrance, the stained-glass windows, and the en-suite doors, which have been preserved and moved to the extension. Thanks to the extension at the rear and on the ground floor, you'll enjoy a bright, spacious living environment. The bay window is featured on both the ground and first floors, and at the rear, a section of the balcony has been incorporated into the bedroom. The second floor, with three dormer windows, offers ample potential for two bedrooms, a study, or a playroom. There's also a spacious semi-detached garage with French doors, stained-glass windows, and an attic for storage. In short, a perfect balance of old and new, in a beautiful location. Would you like to schedule an appointment to discover this unique house? We'd love to show you this corner house! The layout of the house: Park your car in the driveway or store your bike in the garage. The covered entrance to the house is at the front and accessible from both the front and side gardens, as well as the garage. You enter through the vestibule, where you can store your coat. The character of the house is immediately apparent, thanks to the stained glass, the pivot door, and the tiled floor. Step further and you'll find yourself in the hall, which leads to the toilet with a small sink, the stairs to the first floor, the lowered under-stairs cupboard, and the living room. Here, too, the character is evident, thanks to the wooden floor, the bay window, and the fireplace. There is a through-room feature, and an extension was added in the past. The ensuite bathroom was also moved here. The kitchen is semi-open and has a countertop on two sides. A 4-burner gas cooktop, extractor hood, oven, and dishwasher are located on the long side. There's also a built-in closet, and on the other side, a separate fridge/freezer is concealed in a niche. The backyard is also accessible and faces northwest. On the side, there's a wooden canopy with a gate leading to the side garden. The side garden faces east and provides access to the garage with loft and, of course, the front garden. On the first floor, you'll find three bedrooms and a bathroom. The largest bedroom is located at the front and has an adjoining walk-in closet. A particularly nice feature is the bay window here, along with the view of the waterway. Another large bedroom is located at the rear. The downstairs extension has also been extended to this floor and still provides access to the northwest-facing balcony. The third bedroom is at the front, and the bathroom features a shower, second toilet, and a sink. On the landing, there are two built-in closets, one of which houses the washing machine connection and the central heating boiler (Nefit Trendline, 2019). The other built-in wardrobe offers ample space for towels, bed linens, and other storage. The second floor is accessible via a staircase. Since this is a corner house, there are no fewer than three dormer windows! This floor currently serves as a bedroom, but there are many possibilities with this space. Previously, there were two bedrooms. There is also ample storage space. The neighborhood: The house is very centrally located and offers plenty of convenience and possibilities! The waterway is right outside your door, and if you walk a little further, you'll find the first playground in this child-friendly neighborhood.
