For rent: House Justus van Effenpad in Gouda

Description

This is the kind of home that makes you think right away: this feels right!

With two parking spaces right outside, a lovely backyard full of greenery, a back entrance, and a wonderfully spacious rooftop terrace, this is truly a place where you can enjoy every moment of the day.

Inside, the home is just as pleasant. Through the entryway, you enter the garden-facing living room, which is bright and inviting and opens directly onto the garden, creating a seamless transition between indoors and outdoors. At the front is the open kitchen, practically laid out and equipped with all necessary built-in appliances.

On the first floor, you’ll find two bedrooms and a walk-in closet. The spacious bathroom is fully equipped and comfortable, featuring both a shower and a bathtub, a vanity, and a second toilet. A lovely place to end the day in relaxation.

The second floor is a versatile space where you can do just about anything. Here you’ll find the master bedroom and a separate workspace, or perhaps this will become your hobby room; anything is possible here. And then there’s the adjoining rooftop terrace... spacious and sunny. When the weather is nice, set up a table and chair, and you can enjoy working outside with your laptop. Isn’t that just ideal!!

The location completes the picture. In the beloved Kort Haarlem neighborhood, you’ll live in a quiet setting yet surprisingly close to everything. Within 10 minutes, you’ll be in the lively downtown area of Gouda, with its shops, restaurants, and outdoor cafes. The train station, schools, and sports facilities are all in the immediate vicinity as well.

• Gouda city center: within cycling distance
• Supermarket: within walking distance
• Train station: approx. 1.5 km
• Elementary school: approx. 300 meters
• Within 10 minutes you can reach the highways: A12 (toward Utrecht/The Hague) and A20 (toward Rotterdam)

In short: a pleasant home in a great location in Gouda, practical and simply a joy to live in.
