This leafy, spacious 1930s neighbourhood features wide streets, characterful homes and an almost village-like atmosphere. You can enjoy a peaceful setting while remaining close to the vibrant city centre. Franz Schubertstraat is a wide, one-way street. One of the property's most appealing features is the unobstructed view at the front, creating a wonderful sense of space, plenty of natural light and additional privacy. The charming Händelstraat is within walking distance and offers a supermarket, traditional bakery, delicatessen and various other shops for everyday essentials. Primary schools, childcare facilities, playgrounds and sports facilities are also close by. You don't have to leave the neighbourhood to enjoy a lovely walk, a coffee or a leisurely lunch. Park Oog in Al, with its atmospheric Landhuis in de Stad, is nearby, as are Buurten in de Fabriek, Smoesjes and several other popular restaurants and cafés. During the summer months, you can relax at the urban beach SOIA or enjoy the waterfront near De Munt. And when winter temperatures drop low enough, you can even go ice skating at De Munt. Accessibility is excellent. Utrecht's historic city centre and Utrecht Central Station are approximately a ten-minute cycle away. The Dafne Schippersbrug also provides easy access to Leidsche Rijn. The main roads connecting to the wider region are easily accessible too. A green and welcoming neighbourhood, with all the conveniences of city living close at hand. ## LAYOUT ### Ground floor The property welcomes you with a well-maintained front garden, a lovely spot to sit on a bench and enjoy the afternoon and evening sunshine. Upon entering, you arrive in the characterful entrance vestibule, where the original tiled walls and stained-glass windows immediately evoke the charm of the 1930s. The hallway, featuring authentic poured flooring, provides access to the toilet, the staircase to the first floor and the living room. And the living room is undoubtedly one of the highlights of this home. Thanks to its above-average width, it feels exceptionally spacious. The charming bay window at the front allows plenty of natural light to flood in and offers views across the open space opposite. There is ample room for both a comfortable seating area and a large dining table. At the rear, French doors connect the living room to the garden. Whenever the weather allows, simply open the doors and seamlessly bring the indoors and outdoors together. The adjoining kitchen is practically laid out, fitted with various appliances and also features characteristic poured flooring. ### First floor The first floor offers three pleasant rooms that can be arranged to suit your needs. Both spacious bedrooms have their own balconies and traditional built-in wardrobes. The third room is currently used as a home office but would also make an excellent bedroom, children's room or guest room. The bathroom is fitted with a bathtub, double washbasin and a second toilet. ### Second floor A fixed staircase leads to the spacious second floor. The generous landing benefits from plenty of natural daylight through two skylights and provides space for the laundry facilities. This floor also features a lovely bedroom with a dormer window at the front. The attic offers interesting possibilities for the future. There is potential to create an additional room and/or a second bathroom here. The second floor also includes a spacious storage loft, accessible via a removable ladder, ideal for storing belongings. ## ENJOY THE OUTDOORS IN PEACE AND PRIVACY The outdoor spaces are just as inviting. The well-maintained rear garden of approximately 34 m² offers a surprising amount of privacy. It is a wonderful place to relax, enjoy long meals outdoors or simply make the most of outdoor living. Thanks to the combination of sunny and shaded areas, there is always a comfortable spot to enjoy throughout the day. The French doors from the living room make the garden a natural extension of the living space. At the back of the garden, you will find a practical storage shed for bicycles and other belongings. The enclosed rear entrance provides convenient and sheltered access. The front garden is another lovely place to sit and unwind. Here, you can enjoy the afternoon and evening sunshine while taking in the unobstructed view. With both front and rear gardens, there is always a lovely outdoor spot to enjoy. ## KEY FEATURES - Charming and well-maintained 1930s home with authentic period details - Located on a wide, one-way street in the sought-after Oog in Al neighbourhood - Unobstructed views across the school playground at the front, with no houses directly opposite - Exceptionally wide and bright living room with an inviting bay window - Characterful entrance vestibule with original wall tiles and stained-glass windows - Authentic poured flooring in the hallway and kitchen - French doors opening onto a sheltered rear garden of approximately 34 m², offering plenty of privacy - Practical storage shed and enclosed rear entrance - Three bedrooms and a home office, with the possibility of creating four bedrooms - Spacious attic with potential for an additional room and/or second bathroom - Two balconies on the first floor - Bathroom with bathtub, double washbasin and second toilet - Exterior paintwork recently completed - Balcony zinc work recently renewed - Within walking distance of shops, schools, restaurants and cafés, and Park Oog in Al - Approximately ten minutes by bicycle to Utrecht city centre and Utrecht Central Station - Excellent accessibility by bicycle, public transport and car - Transfer date to be agreed ## A PERSONAL NOTE FROM THE SELLER I have enjoyed living in this wonderful home and in Oog in Al for many years.

Oog in Al is a special neighbourhood with an almost village-like atmosphere, while the city is practically on your doorstep. It is a wonderful place for children to grow up, where neighbours genuinely look out for one another. My children had a fantastic childhood here, with lovely schools, friends nearby, the park just around the corner and all the shops within easy reach. The active neighbourhood association and the many activities organised throughout the year make Oog in Al even more special. One thing I have always particularly appreciated is the lovely community of neighbours. We are there for one another whenever needed, while also respecting each other's privacy. After all these wonderful years, it is time for a new chapter. I am leaving this house with a little sadness, but above all with so many warm memories. I hope the new owners will find just as much happiness here and make it their home, just as we have done over the years. ## COME AND TAKE A LOOK!
