Cosy and Light-filled Ground Floor Apartment – ??Westravenstraat 5, Utrecht Looking for a charming, cleverly designed home full of light and character just minutes from the heart of Utrecht? This inviting ground floor maisonette at Westravenstraat 5 offers a clever layout, peace and quiet, and a warm sense of community. Ideal for starters, couples or anyone looking for a place that immediately feels like home. Layout & Living You enter directly into a bright, open living room. Thanks to the south-facing front door and large windows, the space is bathed in natural light. The beautiful real wood floor and the open layout create a warm and airy atmosphere. There is enough space for a cosy sitting area and a small dining area. A clever bonus: behind the custom-made TV cabinet is hidden built-in storage space, perfect for all those “where-should-I-put-this” things. The open kitchen is located at the back of the living room, separating the living area from the sleeping area. The kitchen is compact but efficient, with a working combi oven and fridge, a nice layout for cooking and still staying connected to the rest of the space. At the back of the apartment you will find a very spacious bedroom: big enough for a double bed, two wardrobes, two bedside tables, and still enough walking space. The room is wonderfully light, thanks to two double patio doors. Do you want to make it darker? Then simply close the completely blackout curtains (bought in 2025, they stay). Through the kitchen you reach the bathroom, which has a bath (ideal for relaxing after a long day), a sink, toilet, and even a washer-dryer that is neatly built in next to the sink. Above that there is space for nice laundry baskets. At the back entrance there is space for the paper bin and a lockable outdoor storage box, perfect for garden tools or seasonal items. Everything is on one level and is easily accessible. Outdoor living The wide pavement at the front functions as an extended living room. There is plenty of space to sit, relax, eat or work, right in the sun. Although there is no official garden, the outdoor space here offers a similar experience. The facade gardens were created in 2024 by the residents and neighbors via the active neighborhood WhatsApp group. Together with the municipality, they planted flowers and greenery, which transformed the street into a lively and welcoming place. “We often work from home with the door open. During lunch or dinner, we put our bistro set outside and enjoy coffee or wine in the sun. In the summer, the whole street comes alive — neighbors sit outside, chat. The day ends with a beautiful pink sunset at the end of the street.” Features: • Living area: 45 m² • Volume: 181 m³ • Year built: 1930 • Energy label: B • Insulation: HR glass • Heating: Central heating boiler (owned) • Hot water: Central heating boiler (owned) • Mechanical ventilation available • Condition of inside and outside: Well maintained • VVE 84,- + 105,- energy advance The Neighborhood The Westravenstraat is located in a quiet, green, centrally located neighborhood with a strong sense of community.
