Admiraal van Gentstraat 103572 XK UtrechtZeeheldenbuurt, Hengeveldstraat en omgeving

Behind this characterful, listed façade lies an exceptionally stylish ground-floor flat of rare quality, with a sunny, green city garden serving as an oasis of tranquillity in the much-loved Zeeheldenbuurt neighbourhood. This characterful and surprisingly spacious ground-floor flat of approximately 114 m² is situated in the popular Zeeheldenbuurt neighbourhood, within a beautiful building dating from around 1925. The property was fully renovated in 2020/2021 with great attention to style and quality, combining authentic charm with contemporary living comfort. The renovations have also made the property more sustainable. The property has an energy label A. One of the standout features is the beautifully landscaped, sunny south-west-facing back garden: a green, peaceful oasis offering plenty of privacy and unobstructed views. The property also features a practical stone outbuilding. Thanks to the high-quality finishes, luxurious materials and tasteful refurbishment, this is a move-in-ready home with a particularly warm and well-maintained character. Furthermore, it is a listed building, which lends the property extra charm and history. Here, you’ll live in a place where tranquillity and vibrancy come together perfectly: in a quiet, green residential area, yet just a short distance from the bustling centre of Utrecht, with shops, restaurants, public transport and major roads all within easy reach. The property is situated on the characteristic Admiraal van Gentstraat, a street with an almost village-like atmosphere and part of a remarkable architectural ensemble in the Amsterdam School style. The building was designed in the 1920s by the renowned architectural duo Albert Kool and Albert van Rood. An extra special feature: bricks left over from the iconic De Inktpot were used in its construction. The street is characterised by its stately and spacious layout, beautiful façades and a rich variety of architectural styles. A neighbourhood full of character, charm and history — a place where you’ll be delighted to come home to every day. Layout Ground floor: The wide stone external staircase leads to the entrance of the property on the characteristic ground floor. Stepping inside immediately feels special; the original red-and-white chequered floor tiles instantly reveal the atmosphere and character of the house. The hall houses the toilet with washbasin and provides access to the living area. This floor exudes style, space and authenticity. The beautiful en-suite room forms the heart of the house, with the front room furnished as a cosy sitting room. The original suite doors, suite cupboards, high ceilings and authentic fireplaces create a rich, warm ambience here and complete the atmosphere. At the rear is the spacious kitchen-diner, designed as a true living kitchen where cooking, dining and socialising come together naturally. At its centre is a sturdy kitchen island with a stone worktop, ample cupboard space and a range of high-quality built-in appliances. There is also a large built-in wall cupboard with additional built-in appliances and practical storage space. The adjoining side room is beautifully integrated into the kitchen, creating a spacious dining room with the character of an inviting kitchen-diner. French doors from both the kitchen and the dining room provide access to the balcony. A lovely spot where you can sit in the sun with a cup of coffee in early spring, whilst in summer you can enjoy the view over the green courtyard gardens and the sound of birdsong in complete tranquillity. The entire floor is finished with stylish herringbone wooden flooring with underfloor heating. Combined with the high ceilings, authentic details and high-quality finishes, this creates a particularly atmospheric and stylish living space. Basement: From the hall, the staircase leads down to the basement, a fully-fledged and, once again, surprising level that provides the property with plenty of extra living space. All rooms are accessible from the central corridor. The practical central heating room and a separate utility room for the washing machine and tumble dryer are also located here. On this floor are three spacious bedrooms, each well-proportioned and versatile in use. The bedrooms at the rear have direct access to the garden, allowing the indoor and outdoor spaces to flow into one another naturally. The large rear bedroom stands out thanks to its built-in cupboards and original fireplace, which once again lend it atmosphere and character. At the front is the luxurious bathroom; a space that immediately evokes a sense of comfort and refinement. The bathroom is generously proportioned and features a spacious walk-in shower, a toilet and a stylish vanity unit with a large round mirror. The beautiful Italian tiling gives the room a rich and luxurious feel. A special feature is the door leading from the bathroom to the outside, which provides access to a sheltered courtyard at the front. A practical and pleasant extra space, ideal for storing bicycles or as a handy second entrance. Outside: The outdoor space is undoubtedly one of the absolute highlights of this property. The beautifully landscaped, deep back garden has been designed with a keen eye for atmosphere and greenery and feels like an extension of the living space. A meandering garden path winds playfully through the garden, surrounded by mature plants, trees and various terraces, ensuring that at any time of day you can find a spot in the sun or, conversely, in the shade. The combination of the abundance of greenery, the depth of the garden and the clever layout provides a remarkable degree of privacy and tranquillity — a rare quality right in the heart of the city. Here, you truly experience the feeling of a hidden city garden; a place to relax, dine, read or simply enjoy the silence and the greenery around you. Halfway through the garden is a practical stone outbuilding, ideal for storing garden equipment or providing extra storage space. What makes this outdoor space particularly special is that the garden is accessible from several rooms and floors, creating a natural connection between indoors and outdoors. At the front, the property also features an additional sheltered courtyard – a practical and pleasant outdoor space that is ideal for storing bicycles or as a second entrance to the property.
