Characterful 1930s living with a surprising amount of space

Situated on the highly sought-after Straatweg in Breukelen, this characterful 1930s home combines period charm, generous proportions and contemporary living comfort with ease. Behind its charming façade lies a surprisingly spacious family home, featuring a modern kitchen-diner, an inviting living room, six bedrooms plus an attic floor, a large roof terrace and a deep rear garden.

Over the years, the property has been carefully maintained and modernised, while retaining its original character. Distinctive 1930s features, including the bay window at the front, the attractive roofline and characteristic staircase, are beautifully complemented by a herringbone floor, steel-framed doors, a modern kitchen and contemporary finishes. The result is a home that feels warm and authentic, while offering all the comfort expected of modern-day living.

With a total floor area of approximately 190 m², the property offers an exceptional amount of space. Arranged over the ground floor and three upper floors, the house provides ample possibilities for family living, working from home and accommodating guests.

Ground floor

The property is approached via the front garden, which provides parking for two cars and an electric vehicle charging point. The entrance opens into the hallway with a guest toilet and staircase to the upper floors.

At the front of the house is the attractive living room with its characteristic bay window. Large windows allow plenty of natural light to enter and provide pleasant views of the surrounding greenery. A gas fireplace creates a warm and inviting focal point.

Elegant black steel-framed doors connect the living room to the rear of the house. A spacious extension has been added here, creating room for the generous kitchen-diner, installed in 2020. Light, open and inviting, this space truly forms the heart of the home. The contemporary kitchen features a large island and offers ample worktop and storage space, while there is plenty of room alongside for a substantial dining table.

The wide glazed rear façade creates a wonderful connection with the garden and allows an abundance of daylight to enter. French doors provide a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living. Finally, there is a practical utility room with built-in storage and connections for a washing machine and dryer.

First floor

The first floor comprises two spacious bedrooms and a study. The principal bedroom at the rear provides access to the generous roof terrace of approximately 19 m² – a wonderful additional outdoor space where you can enjoy the afternoon and evening sun as well as views across the green neighbouring gardens.

The modern bathroom is also located on this floor and is fitted with a bathtub, washbasin unit and toilet.

Second floor

The second floor offers a further three rooms, providing plenty of flexibility for use as bedrooms, children's rooms, home offices or guest rooms. The roof structure gives this floor plenty of character, while dormer windows and other windows provide pleasant natural light. There is also the possibility of creating a second bathroom on this floor.

Third floor

A particularly attractive feature of this property is the additional attic floor, which offers good standing height. Whereas the attic in many 1930s houses is primarily suitable for storage, this is a well-accessible and genuinely usable additional floor. The third floor is reached via a fixed staircase.

Outdoor living

The property also has plenty to offer outdoors. The deep rear garden is attractively landscaped, green and private, with several areas in which to enjoy either the sun or shade throughout the day.

Directly behind the house is a generous terrace, while further into the garden there is ample space for children to play or simply to relax. At the rear of the garden is a detached wooden storage shed of approximately 9 m².

Mature planting and trees create a pleasant sense of privacy and seclusion. Together with the front garden and spacious roof terrace, the property therefore offers several wonderful outdoor areas.
