You won't believe your luck when you walk into this delightful country home nestled in the charming city of Arnhem, the Netherlands at Zwammerdampad 11. It's the kind of property that manages to surprise you at every turn. Set in the Elderveld neighborhood, it boasts a serene green landscape that's perfect for nature lovers who also want to stay well-connected to urban conveniences. This home strikes a balance between quaint, country living and being right at the cusp of a lively city, making it an ideal place for families or those looking to start one.
This charming home was built in 1974 and has been well-kept, with its current condition sparing you a major renovation headache. It's energy-efficient too! Thanks to modern upgrades like floor insulation laid out in 2022 and solar panels installed in 2019, you can expect lower energy bills. And while you could move in without having to change a thing, there's still plenty of opportunity to make this house your own.
Let me take you on a tour through this homely abode:
As you approach from the street, you're greeted by a lush, green front garden positioned to bask in the southwest sun. Imagine sipping your morning coffee here while the world slowly wakes up around you. Step inside and you're immediately met by the hall that leads to all the main areas on the ground floor. The living room, bathed in natural light from large windows, offers about 27 m² of space, perfect for cozy family gatherings. Love greenery but hate the glare? Close those French doors to the backyard for some shade.
Seperate from the living room is the quaint 8 m² kitchen. It's more than ready for you to whip up some culinary masterpieces with its range of appliances, from the induction hob to a dishwasher that's practically brand new (we're talking 2020).
Making your way up to the first floor, you'll find three snug bedrooms. With sizes around 7 m², 12 m², and 14 m², they'll make comfortable retreats for everyone in the house. The bathroom here has everything you could need—a shower, bathtub, toilet, sink—you name it.
Climb a little higher, and you'll find the pièce de résistance: a large bedroom on the second floor. With 11 m² to work with and extra storage space thanks to knee walls, it can easily become the master bedroom—or even a private hideaway space for a teenager in the household.
When you're not inside enjoying your lovely home, the back garden offers a charming retreat of its own. Set on the northeast side, there's a terrace for kicking back, a handy storage shed, and a whole lot of greenery. Whether you want to organize a lively weekend barbecue or tend to a small vegetable garden, it's a great space with ample potential.
Now, let's talk about location. Arnhem is celebrated for its green parks and vibrant culture. Living here, you've got the best of both worlds—peaceful living and easy access to city life. Uiterwaardenpark Meinerswijk is just a stone's throw away and is perfect for those who relish serene walks or bicycle rides.
German influences mingle with Dutch charm in Arnhem, opening up a realm of gastronomic delight and cultural riches. The city center is just about 4 km away—a quick 15-minute bike ride—and is teeming with cafés, shops, and historical landmarks. Schools, sports facilities, and supermarkets are all within a convenient distance, making this location perfect for growing families. And you won't have to worry about staying mobile; bus stops, train stations, and highways like the A325 and A50 are within easy reach.
Living in Arnhem also means embracing a four-season climate with mild, wet winters and warm, temperate summers—perfect for anyone who enjoys watching the seasons change.
