Paul Krugerstraat 296814 AR ArnhemTransvaalbuurt

This ground-floor apartment dating from 1909 is located in a stately city villa and features many attractive original details. Upon entering, the characteristic ceilings and authentic elements immediately stand out, giving the property its historic appearance. Atmospheric features such as original doors, wood carvings, etched glass, a marble floor and natural stone fireplaces contribute to the home’s distinctive character. In addition to preserving its character, the property also offers opportunities for renovation in several areas, allowing it to be adapted to personal preferences and contemporary living standards. There is also an interesting opportunity to extend the living space. Part of the basement is already suitable for residential use; the areas currently used as cellar and storage can, after conversion, be arranged as additional (bed)rooms or other living functions. The combination of original features, expansion potential and a solid foundation makes this property particularly suitable for those who wish to retain character while adding modern comfort. The location is especially appealing. The property is situated on a service road in the popular Transvaalbuurt, a neighborhood characterized by stately townhouses, small bridges over the Sint Jansbeek, wide avenues and mature greenery. The adjacent Sonsbeek Park offers daily opportunities to enjoy peace and nature, creating a pleasant balance between urban elegance and natural beauty. The location is also logistically excellent. The Paul Krugerstraat is easily accessible by car, NS railway station Sonsbeekzijde is a five-minute walk away, and the city center—with its shops, restaurants and cafés—is less than a ten-minute walk. Amenities such as supermarkets and schools are nearby, and connections to major roads including the A12 and A325 are excellent.

The walnut herringbone parquet floor with border and the original en-suite doors create a warm, well-finished appearance and provide a natural connection and separation between the living areas.

This space is ideally suited as a dining room, has an open connection to the kitchen, and features a skylight and sliding doors with glass panels leading to the conservatory.

From the rear room, a passage with several steps leads to the extended rear section of the house, where a spacious, garden-facing bedroom with a generous en-suite bathroom is located.
