Mr. Tripkade 533571 SW UtrechtTuindorp en Van Lieflandlaan-West

A characterful and wonderfully inviting townhouse with a generous garden and a beautiful roof terrace in sought-after Tuindorp! Some homes feel special the moment you step inside. A sense of warmth, character and space that is difficult to put into words. Mr. Tripkade 53 is one of those homes. This charming 1920s townhouse combines original features, including stained-glass windows and a bay window, with modern comfort. With approximately 142 m² of living space, four bedrooms, a generous plot, a lovely roof terrace and two detached storage buildings, there is plenty of room to enjoy life. The distinctive atmosphere of the ground floor immediately stands out. The various living areas flow naturally into one another, while each retains its own character. Picture a long evening around the table with friends and a good glass of wine. Or a quiet Sunday afternoon with a book, watching the seasons change outside. Thanks to the property’s orientation, the light enters from different directions throughout the day: at the front in the morning, and later from the side and rear. Coming home here feels special every day. The outdoor space deserves just as much attention. The generous garden offers a wonderful combination of greenery, tranquillity and space. A place for leisurely outdoor dining, enjoying the sunshine or simply unwinding. On the first floor, a lovely roof terrace provides another peaceful spot to retreat to. The two spacious storage buildings offer room for bicycles, gardening equipment and other belongings. With parking for two cars on your own property, practical convenience is also well catered for—a welcome luxury in such a central Utrecht location. Over the years, the house has been renovated and modernised at various stages, while retaining its character. With four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a practical utility room and ample storage, this inviting home is perfectly suited to everyday living. All this in an attractive Utrecht location. The historic city centre is approximately 10 to 15 minutes away by bicycle, and Utrecht Overvecht railway station is a short walk away. Griftpark and a variety of shops and restaurants are also nearby. A special combination of character, space and city convenience.

Layout Ground floor The front entrance opens into the hallway, with the staircase, a toilet and access to the living areas. The ground floor is undoubtedly one of this home’s most distinctive features. Several inviting seating areas come together to create a surprisingly spacious and welcoming whole. The layout is open and connected, with enough room to give each area its own purpose. At the front of the house is a cosy sitting room with a characteristic bay window. A lovely place to curl up with a good book or relax after a long day. The wood-burning stove adds extra warmth and atmosphere, especially during the colder months. The traditional connecting doors add character and allow the rooms to be used separately. Parquet flooring runs throughout the ground floor. Towards the rear, you will find a generous living area with space for a large dining table and a second seating area. This is where the home truly comes to life, whether during long dinners with friends, relaxed evenings with family or a quiet moment to yourself. The kitchen connects to the living area and features a stone worktop, a boiling-water tap, a Miele steam oven with a warming drawer, a dishwasher and the option to cook on either gas or induction. Adjoining the kitchen is a practical utility room with a worktop, spacious pantry cupboards, and a built-in washing machine and tumble dryer. First floor The beautiful stairwell, with its high ceiling and abundant natural light, leads to the first floor. Here you will find two spacious bedrooms and a bathroom. Both bedrooms offer ample room for a comfortable bed and wardrobes. Their generous proportions make them equally suitable as a principal bedroom, a child’s bedroom or a quiet home office. The bathroom provides a comfortable space to start the day at ease. A particular highlight is the roof terrace of approximately 16 m², accessed through double doors from one of the bedrooms. A lovely spot for a morning coffee or a quiet moment after a busy day. Second floor A fixed staircase leads to the second floor, which offers two further bedrooms and a second bathroom. The sloping ceilings give this floor a charming, cosy feel. The rooms are also ideal for use as guest accommodation, a home office or a hobby room. The additional bathroom makes this floor particularly convenient for a larger family or those who regularly welcome guests. There is further storage behind the eaves and in the loft. Outdoor space This much outdoor space so close to Utrecht city centre is something special. Two sets of sliding doors open from the house into the generous garden, complete with an attractive timber deck. A wonderful setting for leisurely barbecues with friends and family in the evening sun. The garden offers plenty of possibilities for a large dining table, a comfortable lounge area, colourful borders or a quiet spot for a morning coffee. Whether you enjoy gardening, dining outdoors or simply relaxing, there is room for it all. The first-floor roof terrace adds a second outdoor space with a character of its own. The front garden is also attractively landscaped, with beautiful roses. Both the driveway and the entrance to the rear garden have lockable gates. Practical space has been well considered too. The two detached storage buildings provide approximately 26 m² of combined storage for bicycles, gardening equipment, sports gear and anything else you would like to keep neatly out of sight. There is also a carport, on-site parking and an electric vehicle charging point. Comfort and sustainability Behind the characterful exterior is a home that has benefited from investment in comfort and sustainability over recent years. The living room was extended in 2005, when various outbuildings were also added. The first and second floors were renovated in 2018. The house has roof, wall and floor insulation, with HR++ high-performance double glazing throughout most of the property. Additional cavity wall insulation was installed in 2025. The kitchen and bathrooms have electric underfloor heating. The Remeha Calenta Ace central heating boiler dates from 2018, and the 13 solar panels were installed in 2023. With energy label A, this characterful home offers an appealing combination of atmosphere and energy efficiency. Interested?
