Ready to be surprised? The Neighbourhood Zandstraat is a quiet street on the edge of Veenendaal’s centre, where period architecture and greenery alternate. You’ll live in a pleasant, family-friendly environment, with shops, cafés and restaurants, the urban beach, schools, and the train station all within walking or cycling distance. The street breathes history and authenticity, while offering all the conveniences of the city. Parking is available on your own property (at least two cars) or in the immediate vicinity. Craving nature? Within minutes you can cycle to the forests of the Utrechtse Heuvelrug or the expansive surrounding countryside. In short: a place where peace, accessibility, and charm come together. Ground Floor Layout The generous hallway sets the tone right away: high ceiling, a combination of classic tiles and sleek walls, elegant staircase, panelled doors, and an authentic feel. From here you access various rooms, including the living room, dining room, WC with washbasin, and the kitchen. The spacious living room—where the beautiful solid oak herringbone (Hungarian point) floor, tall windows with original shutters, designer custom radiators, and high beamed ceiling immediately catch the eye—perfectly blends modern and classic. The front sitting room is cosy and bright, while the garden-facing dining room also features an original mantel, as does the sitting area. Through the light corridor—past the WC and a storage cupboard with laundry connections—you reach the kitchen. The kitchen itself marries classic and modern, fully equipped with built-in appliances including an induction hob, decorative canopy extractor, oven, and dishwasher. Behind the kitchen is a practical storage room with the fridge–freezer and central heating installation, concealed behind beautiful custom loft doors. A loft ladder provides access to the storage attic, offering plenty of additional space. The entire ground floor is impeccably maintained, finished down to the smallest details, and ready for many years of living and/or working pleasure. First Floor The first floor offers three (potentially four) spacious, atmospheric bedrooms and a modern bathroom. The landing is beautifully finished and provides access to all rooms. The master bedroom is very large with expansive windows overlooking the garden and a charming roof terrace—perfect for breakfast in the morning sun or a lovely drink on a summer evening. The room feels serene—ideal for unwinding after a long day. The other bedrooms are also bathed in light thanks to large windows and retain their original wooden floors. The bathroom is stylishly tiled and equipped with a rain shower, a robust oak vanity with vessel basin and integrated tap, and a second toilet. Everything is done in light, natural tones, creating a fresh, luxurious look. Second Floor The second floor surprises with a generous, open space and a distinctive layout. The warm ambiance stands out immediately thanks to the fine flooring and the exposed wooden trusses that give this level its unique character and inviting feel. The floor is arranged so that the sleeping area, lounge corner, and work/study area flow into one another. This level also features its own pantry with original terrazzo countertop and a private bathroom, elegantly finished with wood-look floor tiles, white wall tiles, and black beam accents. The bathroom includes a walk-in rain shower, wall-hung toilet, and another vessel basin set on a robust oak top with integrated tap. A wonderfully luxurious addition, making this floor perfect as a home office, self-contained (guest) suite, a loft for one of your children, or your expansive master retreat! Outdoor Space The split-level rear garden with espalier lindens and a classic walnut tree is a true asset—wide, deep, and delightfully secluded. You’ll enjoy complete privacy, sun and shade. It’s a garden to linger in: summer evenings, a morning coffee in the sunshine (with freshly baked cake from your own walnut tree), or drinks with friends—this is your outdoor living room. At the back you’ll also find a storage shed for bikes and garden tools, and a double gate for easy access by car. You can park multiple cars here with ease.
