Fully modernised and extended, this characterful detached 1930s home is set on a generous plot of 819 m². Authentic period features are seamlessly combined with contemporary living comfort, creating a home of real quality and atmosphere. The property offers approximately 202 m² of living space and, thanks to its well-considered layout, is ideally suited for dual occupancy or multigenerational living, such as accommodation for parents or (young) adult children. The rear section can, if desired, be used as a largely self-contained residential unit, all within a single residential designation.
In addition, the plot includes a substantial detached brick outbuilding of approximately 74 m², comprising a spacious studio, storage area and an upper floor. Currently used as a photographic studio, this versatile building lends itself perfectly to a wide range of uses, including a home office or professional practice, artist’s studio, guest accommodation, hobby space or a facility for live-in care. The large glass frontage at the front and the conservatory-style extension to the side ensure an abundance of natural light and a highly pleasant working or living environment.
The outdoor space is equally appealing. The deep garden has been professionally landscaped and offers a high level of privacy, attractive sightlines and several options for creating terraces. The covered veranda at the rear forms a charming extension of the living space, making outdoor living an integral part of daily life throughout much of the year. To the front of the property there is a large carport with an integrated steel storage unit, while the driveway provides ample parking for multiple vehicles. The garden features planted borders and several mature trees, as well as a firewood store and refuse area finished in Corten steel. Behind the outbuilding, an additional wooden shed has been installed for garden equipment and storage.
Both the house and the outbuilding have undergone comprehensive modernisation in recent years. Walls, floors and ceilings have been renewed, the electrical installations and meter cupboard upgraded, and both the kitchen and bathrooms finished to a high standard. The roof covering has been replaced, the layout on the ground and first floors has been optimised, dormer windows have been renewed and a fixed staircase to the second floor has been installed. Attractive wooden floors have been laid throughout the main living areas, enhancing the warm character typical of 1930s architecture. The property is also equipped with a security system featuring five cameras. In addition, energy efficiency has been improved through extra insulation to the roof, floors and external walls, as well as the installation of two air-conditioning units on the first floor.
The location is ideal. Floralaan 28 is centrally situated in Apeldoorn, within the elegant and tranquil Welgelegen district. The town centre, with its shops, cafés, restaurants and other amenities, is within easy walking distance. Schools, sports facilities and the green character of the surrounding tree-lined avenues and parks are all close at hand. Accessibility is excellent: Apeldoorn railway station can be reached within minutes by bicycle, and the nearby A1 and A50 motorways provide swift connections to cities such as Zwolle, Arnhem, Deventer and the Randstad. It is a location that combines peace and prestige with everyday convenience.
