Achterstraat 864132 VG Vianen (UT)Vianen binnenstad

Living in a City Farmhouse with History and a Future – Right in the Heart of Vianen In the oldest and most characterful part of Vianen’s historic city center, you’ll find this impressive listed national monument on the Achterstraat. The building dates back to the 15th century and, although it has been adapted over the centuries – including as a city farmhouse – its historical elements have been lovingly preserved. Think of anchor beam trusses, wall niches, old floorboards, and beams. At the same time, the property has been fully renovated and modernized, now boasting an energy label A+, thanks to proper insulation and solar panels. Living in a listed monument doesn’t get more unique than this. The special atmosphere of this property can be felt throughout – from the soaring roof structure to the cozy see-through wood-burning fireplace. Here, you embrace the past while enjoying all the comforts of modern living. The government offers support: through the Dutch Cultural Heritage Agency, there are various subsidies available for the maintenance and preservation of national monuments. Ask the estate agent about the possibilities or check the governments website. The location is just as special as the home itself: right in the historic city center, surrounded by charming streets, cafes, and shops. It borders the front on the Achterstraat and has a rear exit to the Brederodestraat. The Lekdijk is within walking distance, and major roads like the A2 and A27 are easily accessible. Utrecht is also within easy reach, both by car and public transport. Layout: Ground floor: Upon entering, you step into the central hallway with two characterful rooms to the left and right. The left room, featuring a box bed and storage cupboard, is currently used as a charming sitting room with a fireplace and original mantel – a second lounge area in addition to the spacious main living room at the rear. The right room currently serves as a home office. In the hallway, you’ll find a beautiful niche in the wall – a subtle nod to the past. The tiled floor combined with underfloor heating ensures modern-day comfort. Behind the hallway lies the heart of the house: the former barn of the city farmhouse. This impressive space measures approximately 100 m² and features original anchor beam trusses, exposed roof structure, and a stunning rear glass façade that looks out onto the deep garden. The space is arranged with a seating area around the central see-through fireplace and a luxurious open-plan kitchen. The kitchen includes high-quality built-in appliances and a spacious cooking island that overlooks the entire room – perfect for those who enjoy cooking and entertaining. The former clog room has been converted into a practical utility room, with access to the guest toilet and washbasin. First floor: From the spacious landing, you access three bedrooms, a modern bathroom with a generous walk-in shower, bathtub, and double sink vanity, a separate toilet, and a dedicated laundry room. Each bedroom exudes charm, with exposed beam structures, wooden floors, and traditional mullioned windows. Above the former barn, an extra bedroom has been created with skylights and a stunning view of the original roof beams. Second floor: Via a small landing – which also features an additional toilet – you reach the spacious master bedroom. This room is impressively high and displays the original roof with wooden trusses and paneling in all its glory. The bedroom includes a private walk-in closet and en-suite bathroom with a double walk-in shower and two vanities. From the closet, a loft ladder leads to an additional storage attic, where the central heating boiler is also located. Garden: The wide and deep west-facing garden is an oasis of tranquility in the middle of the city. A back entrance offers space to park 2 to 3 cars on private grounds – a rarity in the city center. At the rear of the garden is a covered patio with a gabled roof, designed as a cozy seating area. There is also a spacious detached shed, perfect for storing bicycles and garden tools.
