Charming detached home with surprising extension and lush, private garden – just steps from the historic city center Set on a sunny plot of over 600 m² in a highly desirable location, this charming detached home combines character, space, and privacy. The house has been extended at the rear and is surrounded by a beautifully landscaped garden that offers full seclusion. Layout On the ground floor, you'll find a welcoming hallway with access to a dry wine cellar, a bright living room with fireplace and bay window, a spacious home office, a large garden-facing kitchen-diner, utility area, former bathroom, heated garage/hobby space, and a sunroom with wood-burning stove. The first floor offers two bedrooms — one with a walk-in wardrobe and French doors to a balcony — and a well-appointed bathroom. Under the fully insulated roof on the second floor, you'll find two additional bedrooms and a landing with dormer window. Both rooms have air conditioning. Key figures Gross volume: 943 m³ Living area: 240 m² (including heated garage/hobby space) Plot size: 618 m² Year built: 1928 Ground floor The main entrance is accessed via a private driveway and classic four-panel door with fanlight. The current owners mostly use the side entrance. From the vestibule, a hallway leads to the updated guest toilet, wine cellar, and living room. The living room is full of character, with a bay window overlooking the “De Virieusingel” — one of the historic moats that encircle Zaltbommel’s old town — and features a gas fireplace and natural stone flooring with underfloor heating. The same flooring continues into the adjacent music/home office, which is stylishly separated by a contemporary glass partition. This space was formerly the kitchen. A large, insulated window with stained-glass top light brings in extra natural light, while exterior awnings provide shade on sunny days. In the 1980s, the home was significantly extended to the rear with a generous 28 m² kitchen-diner overlooking the garden — a perfect canvas for your dream kitchen. The flat roof was recently replaced and thoroughly insulated. From the kitchen, a second hallway leads to the utility room, boiler room, a former bathroom, and the heated garage/hobby space. This flexible space is ideal for creative or practical pursuits — from studio or workspace to extra living area — especially given the full-height attic above. At the back, a sunroom with wood burner and air conditioning offers a perfect retreat. French doors open out into the garden from the kitchen, utility area, garage, and sunroom. A side gate provides access to the garden from the street. First floor The spacious front bedroom features four-pane windows that overlook the magnificent magnolia tree in the front garden, the moat, and the adjacent city park. French doors open onto the balcony above the bay window. A former third bedroom has been transformed into a spacious walk-in wardrobe. The second bedroom faces west and includes built-in wardrobes and air conditioning. The bright and airy bathroom includes a toilet, bathtub, double sink, and separate shower. A door leads out to the flat roof above the kitchen. Second floor The top floor houses two additional bedrooms and a landing with dormer. When the roof was insulated, the original wooden beams were beautifully preserved and left exposed. Both bedrooms feature reversible air conditioning. Notable features The first stone of this home was laid on March 12, 1928. The property reflects architectural influences from the Amsterdam School. In later years, the house was extended to include a kitchen-diner, a garage/hobby area, and a garden room — turning it into a spacious family home with endless potential for multigenerational living, home practice, or live/work purposes. The home has been well maintained and thoughtfully modernised over time. Cavity walls and roofs are insulated, all windows are double-glazed — even the stained-glass windows have been upgraded to insulated glazing. There are 19 solar panels on the roof (approx. 4.7 MWh annual yield), contributing to the current energy label B. The southwest-facing garden is fully enclosed, with a rear gate, lawn, mature trees, and established planting. A wooden garden shed offers extra storage. Location The house is situated just off one of the picturesque moats encircling the fortified city of Zaltbommel. These historic moats were once part of the city’s medieval defences. In the early 19th century, landscape architect François De Virieu transformed the old ramparts into a public park, now a beloved spot for walking and jogging. Everything is within walking distance: the park, the historic town centre with its charming boutiques, restaurants, and cafes, schools, and the train station. The River Waal and its scenic floodplains are also just a short stroll away, offering instant access to nature.
