Description
Semi-detached and Extended End-of-Terrace Home with Home Office/Practice Space on a Generous Plot in a Unique Residential Area near the Randstad
Located on Mercury in the former American neighbourhood of Soesterberg, this well-maintained end-of-terrace home offers a unique combination of space, comfort, and character. The homes in this neighbourhood were built in the 1980s for American military personnel stationed at Soesterberg Air Base and are distinguished by their authentic American-style construction. Features include timber-frame construction, forced-air heating, spacious utility rooms, and a carport designed to accommodate larger vehicles.
The neighbourhood enjoys excellent access to the Dutch road network. The A28 motorway can be reached within minutes, placing the cities of Utrecht, Amersfoort, and Zeist within approximately fifteen minutes by car. In addition, the area is surrounded by beautiful nature and offers numerous walking and cycling routes.
To the north of the village lies the former Soesterberg Air Base, a unique 375-hectare nature reserve where you can literally walk and cycle across former runways. History enthusiasts will appreciate the nearby National Military Museum, where the military history of the Netherlands comes to life. The charming village centre of Soesterberg provides all daily amenities, including a supermarket, pharmacy, DIY store, and a welcoming village café.
In short: a unique opportunity to enjoy comfortable living in a green, historic, and centrally located environment.
Layout
Ground Floor
Park your vehicle(s) on your private driveway or under the carport. The neatly landscaped front garden features a private EV charging point and a practical storage shed for bicycles and gardening equipment.
Entering the property through the spacious entrance hall, you will find the utility meter cupboard, access to the home office/practice room, and a door leading to the main hallway. From here, all ground-floor rooms are accessible.
The kitchen is situated at the front of the property and is equipped with various built-in appliances as well as a dedicated space for an American-style refrigerator. Adjacent to the kitchen is the dining area, offering ample room for a large dining table.
The extended living and dining room of approximately 48 m² forms the heart of the home and is fitted with air conditioning for both heating and cooling. Thanks to the extension and the large sliding doors at the rear, this generous living space enjoys abundant natural light and a wonderful sense of openness. During the summer months, the sliding doors effortlessly connect the indoor and outdoor living areas.
The hallway also provides access to a practical utility room with laundry connections, a spacious toilet, and a convenient storage cupboard beneath the staircase.
First Floor
The elegant staircase leads to the landing on the first floor. From here, you have access to four bedrooms: two at the front measuring approximately 9 m² and 10 m², and two at the rear measuring approximately 10 m² and 12 m².
The bathroom is fitted with a washbasin unit, bathtub, and toilet.
The two rear bedrooms provide direct access to the spacious east-facing balcony of approximately 16 m². This is the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee in the sun and start the day in peace. The first floor is also equipped with air conditioning.
Second Floor (Attic)
A loft ladder in the rear master bedroom provides access to the spacious attic. With a head height of over 2 metres, this area offers excellent storage space for household items and seasonal belongings.
Looking for even more living space? Homes of this type offer excellent extension possibilities. Adding a full dormer or roof extension is a realistic option, creating an additional bedroom, home office, or hobby room while retaining valuable storage space beneath the pitched roof. A fixed staircase could be incorporated above the existing staircase in a style consistent with the home.
Outdoor Space
The property enjoys a high degree of privacy and pleasant outdoor living. The east-facing rear garden is an ideal place to relax in the jacuzzi or host family and friends for a barbecue. The garden also features a convenient rear entrance.
The front garden provides another attractive seating area. Thanks to its west-facing position, you can enjoy the afternoon and evening sun here, making it the perfect setting for long summer evenings.
