From the hallway, you access the living room. The living room is bright and spacious thanks to windows on both sides with plenty of greenery in view—greenery in front and a green courtyard. The practical layout provides ample space for a comfortable seating area in the front and a dining area at the back, connected to the kitchen via a wide opening and a pass-through with a bar-like feel. The semi-open kitchen enhances the open and spacious feel of the living area. Doors in both the kitchen and living room lead to the sunny southwest-facing garden. The well-maintained garden includes two apple trees, two fig trees, a butterfly bush, and a mini pond. There’s ample space for a lounge set, a dining table, and it’s perfect for summer barbecues. The garden also has rear access, where you’ll find the separate storage room. A staircase from the hallway leads to the first floor, where you’ll find a landing with access to two bright bedrooms (both with dormer windows), a bathroom, and a separate toilet. There is also the possibility of adding an extra bedroom, guest room, or office in the attic by installing a fixed staircase and Velux windows—easily adding more usable square meters to the house. See the alternate floor plan for this option.

Renovation and Sustainability Homes of this type in Betondorp are often adapted to improve comfort. Common upgrades include: Integrating the attic into the living space by adding a fixed staircase Installing Velux windows in the attic Adding a dormer to the bathroom Removing the load-bearing wall between the kitchen and living room and replacing it with a support beam Installing double glazing The homeowners association (VvE) organizes several (digital) meetings per year to discuss these kinds of renovation requests. Approval is almost always granted when the request complies with the rules. The VvE has also recently started a Feasibility Study on Sustainability. The aim is to explore options for making the buildings more energy-efficient and comfortable. The sales information has been compiled with great care.
