Charming Semi-Detached Home in Driehuizen with Stunning Unobstructed Views over the Eilandspolder!

Located in the idyllic village of Driehuizen, in the heart of the De Eilandspolder nature reserve, this atmospheric detached home consists of a charming front house dating from 1957 and a spacious rear extension from 1977, which was completely renovated in 2004. The exterior cladding is made of high-quality Red Cedar and Meranti wood. Inside, you’ll find a luxurious oak floor, handcrafted character doors, and abundant natural light from the large windows, most of which are fitted with classic shutters.

The property can be occupied in various ways. It makes a cozy family home with ample privacy and space to host gatherings, but it is also well-suited for multi-generational living. The layout has previously served as a Bed & Breakfast and is ideal for those who work from home. The large barn/garage offers numerous possibilities, and behind the house you'll find allotment gardens, perfect for growing your own fruits and vegetables!

Through the front door, you enter a hallway that leads to the front house. At the front is the semi-open kitchen, equipped with a 5-burner gas hob, oven, dishwasher, and a freestanding fridge-freezer. Adjacent to the kitchen is the cozy dining room with beautiful light from the large windows, forming the warm heart of the home. Next to the dining room is a comfortable living room, which can easily switch functions with the dining room if desired. From the dining room, a staircase also leads to the first floor of the front part of the house.

The transition to the rear house is formed by a spacious hallway, which not only functions as a practical connecting space but also features a shower and a toilet with washbasin.

In the rear extension, you’ll find an impressive garden-facing living room with a charming gas fireplace and a large sliding door that opens onto a covered terrace. The sliding door is fitted with a shutter, providing extra comfort and privacy. The living area feels spacious and open, with wonderful views of the garden. Adjacent is a utility room, ideal for laundry, storage, or supplies. The intermediate hallway by the staircase is also perfectly suited as an office or workspace.

The house sits on a generous plot with a well-maintained, south-facing garden, where various seating areas have been created to enjoy both the morning and evening sun. The property also features a driveway with a carport and a spacious garage, perfect for parking or DIY projects.

The first floor is divided between the front and rear sections of the house. In the front, you’ll find two spacious bedrooms, each with storage behind the knee walls. In the rear, a wide staircase leads to a charming landing with a built-in box bed—a unique feature sure to appeal to children. From here, you access the spacious master bedroom, which includes built-in wardrobes, a storage loft, and French doors opening onto a large rooftop terrace with panoramic views of the surrounding landscape.

A special element is the hidden doorway in the wardrobe, which leads to a spacious walk-in closet. To the right of this space is an additional room—ideal as an office, hobby room, or guest bedroom. On the left is the bathroom, fitted with a bathtub, walk-in shower, washbasin, vanity unit, and a second toilet.

This home is not only full of character but also energy-efficient. It features floor, foundation, wall, and roof insulation, 14 solar panels (installed in 2020), and a hybrid heat pump (2021). The exterior woodwork was recently painted, and the entire property is in excellent condition.
