Van Brakelplein 44-44B, Groningen
A charming home on Van Brakelplein
Two separate residences connected by a passageway, yet each with its own entrance, have been combined into a single, characterful, and versatile space totaling 165.5 m². A unique home offering space, charm, and a surprising array of possibilities, with a view of the pond on the beautiful Van Brakelplein.
The properties can be used together as a single spacious home, but also offer the freedom to combine living and working, create a private space for a child, or provide guests with their own private area.
The ground-floor unit features a bright living room with a bay window and a view of the pond, a luxury kitchen from 2015, two bedrooms, and a bathroom. On the first floor are two bedrooms, a half-bath, and a balcony.
The upper apartment features a spacious living room with an open kitchen, beautiful oak herringbone flooring, and a balcony. On the fourth floor are a bedroom, a bathroom, and a half-bath. In total, there are five bedrooms spread across four floors.
One of the property’s standout features is the spacious garden with a veranda. At the back is a beautifully finished, insulated studio with electricity. It’s an ideal spot to work, be creative, entertain guests, or simply retreat for some quiet time. There are also two brick bike sheds.
The house has been carefully maintained and tastefully finished.
The active homeowners’ association helps ensure the property is well-maintained; the balconies were recently renovated.
The location is exceptional: right in the heart of the sought-after Zeeheldenbuurt neighborhood, on a charming square with a large pond that gives it a peaceful and green atmosphere. Also, the train station and downtown are within walking distance and the residence is located within a protected urban landscape.
