Franklinstraat 323553 RN UtrechtElinkwijk en omgeving

Welcome to Franklinstraat 32 in Utrecht! This charming single-family home from around 1900 perfectly combines character with modern living comfort. In 2008, this house, along with many others in the neighborhood, was restored to top condition through an urban renovation project. The property features three bedrooms and a spacious attic with potential for an additional room. Several similar homes in the area have successfully converted the attic into a full-fledged bedroom. Thanks to various renovations carried out by the current owners since 2021, including a new kitchen, an updated bathroom, and a modern electrical panel, the house is move-in ready. Located in the charming and sought-after Lessepsbuurt neighborhood in Utrecht, it is within walking distance of various amenities and public transport. LAYOUT OF THE PROPERTY Ground floor: Upon entering, you find a hallway providing access to the toilet and the staircase, with a storage space underneath that leads to the living room. The inviting living room features sleek plasterwork (2021) and a seamless PVC floor extending into the kitchen. French doors create a direct connection to the sunny backyard. The open kitchen (2021) is situated in the extended part of the house and is equipped with a Neff 4-burner induction hob, a Pelgrim dishwasher, an electric convection oven, and an extractor hood venting outside. First floor: The first floor is practically arranged, offering three bedrooms and a neat, modernized bathroom. All bedrooms have laminate flooring. The modern bathroom (2021) includes a walk-in shower with a drain, a washbasin set on a beautifully crafted natural wood countertop, and a washing machine connection under the window. Attic: The attic has been reinforced and insulated, providing ample storage space. With the installation of a fixed staircase, this area could potentially serve as an additional bedroom, though the ceiling height just falls short of 2 meters. Many comparable homes in the neighborhood have already realized this extra bedroom. Currently, the attic is accessible via a retractable ladder. Garden: The beautifully landscaped backyard of approximately 32 m² faces southwest, ensuring plenty of sunlight. A stone shed with electricity is available, along with additional outdoor power outlets. The front garden enhances privacy from the street, adding greenery and creating a welcoming entrance. LOCATION AND SURROUNDINGS This home is situated in the lively and popular Zuilen district of Utrecht, close to various shops, including the large Rokade shopping center, fitness facilities, a medical practice, restaurants such as the renowned and popular Roma ice cream parlor, and schools. Sports facilities, including a sports park and a swimming pool, as well as cultural attractions like the Museum of Zuilen, are also nearby. The Julianapark, a beloved spot for relaxation and recreation, is within walking distance. Public transport is easily accessible (just a few minutes’ walk), and cycling to Utrecht city center takes only a few minutes. Additionally, the surrounding highways, such as the A2 and A12, and Zuilen train station are conveniently reachable. ON BEHALF OF THE SELLERS This house has been a warm and cherished home for the sellers for many years. They have greatly enjoyed the convenience of the nearby shopping center, just a short walk away, and the bus stop around the corner, perfect for a Saturday trip to Utrecht’s city center. They also loved walking to Julianapark for picnics. The sellers will deeply miss this home and its wonderful surroundings but hope the next owners will enjoy living here just as much.
