Merwedekade 1613522 JC UtrechtRivierenwijk

Living by the water, right in the heart of the city, and coming home to a green oasis. That’s exactly what you’ll find at Merwedekade 161. This charming ground-floor apartment is located in a sought-after spot in the Rivierenwijk neighborhood, with the Merwedekanaal at the front and a surprisingly deep, green backyard at the rear. Inside, you’ll find a spacious living room, a modern bathroom, a separate kitchen, and a generous bedroom on the garden side. Everything is located on the ground floor. But what really makes this home special, in our opinion, is the combination of its location and outdoor space. Here, you live just a short distance from downtown Utrecht, while behind the house you have a wonderfully secluded spot where the hustle and bustle of the city feels far away. Come on in! Through the private front door, you step into the entryway, from which the various rooms are accessible. The living room is located at the front of the house and is remarkably spacious. Thanks to the room’s length, you can easily create different living zones here: a comfortable sitting area at the front and a large dining table near the kitchen, for example. The window facing the street provides pleasant natural light. Here, you’ll live in a beautiful spot on Merwedekade. Further back is the bathroom, built in 2025. It features a modern, understated design with large tiles in neutral tones. The bathroom includes a spacious walk-in shower with a glass shower enclosure, a toilet, and a vanity unit. It’s a well-maintained space that essentially requires no further work. Adjacent to it is the neat kitchen (2025), also in neutral colors and equipped with various built-in appliances. From here, you can step right out into the garden and also access the bedroom at the rear. Sleeping by the Garden The bedroom is located in the addition at the rear of the house. And it’s a lovely spot: away from the street and right next to the greenery. The bedroom is exceptionally spacious, with plenty of room for a large bed and closet space. A private door leads directly from the bedroom into the garden. Open the door in the morning and wake up to the greenery right in front of you—in the heart of Utrecht, that’s truly a pleasure. And then there’s that garden… This might just be the biggest surprise at Merwedekade 161. Behind the house lies a deep, sheltered garden. Right next to the house, you can create a cozy spot for a dining table or lounge area, while further back in the garden there’s plenty of space left for greenery, play, gardening, or a second seating area. At the same time, the garden offers plenty of opportunities to design it entirely to your own taste. Sleek and low-maintenance, lush and green, or somewhere in between: you can really turn this into something beautiful. And it’s precisely that outdoor space that makes the contrast so appealing. At the front, you live on Merwedekade with the city within easy reach; in the backyard, you’ll find peace and privacy above all else. The City Just Around the Corner The location also makes this a wonderful place to live. The Merwedekade is in the popular Rivierenwijk neighborhood, right along the Merwedekanaal. For walking, running, or just a stroll along the water, all you have to do is step outside your door. In short: a place where the city, water, and greenery come together in a very pleasant way.
