a nice detached house in the centre of Zeist - een mooi, vrijstaand huis in het centrum van Zeist

Vrijstaande jaren 30-woning, bestaande uit een grote woonkamer, een goed toegeruste keuken, een hal en een wc op de begane grond. Twee slaapkamers en een badkamer op de eerste verdieping en twee slaapkamers op de tweede verdieping. In de tuin is een overdekt terras en een terras aan het huis. Het huis ligt aan het park in het centrum van Zeist. Zeist, centraal in Nederland en midden in de natuur, biedt alle voorzieningen en steden als Amsterdam en Utrecht zijn goed bereikbaar, ook met openbaar vervoer.

Detached 1930's house, consisting of a large living/dining room, a well-equipped kitchen, a hall and WC on the ground floor. Two bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor, and two bedrooms on the second floor. In the garden, there is a covered terrace (suitable for breakfast or lunch in the summer) and a terrace next to the house. The house is opposite the park in the centre of Zeist. Zeist, which is central in The Netherlands and in the middle of nature, offers all facilities, and cities such as Amsterdam and Utrecht are easily accessible, including by public transport.

The house includes a study/granny-flat extension to the rear, which can be completely separated off and is not currently planned to be part of the exchange; if the exchange is not simultaneous, the owners may well reside there while the house is occupied by others.

We have written a 'User Guide' for visitors, containing a wealth of useful information about the house and local environment, which will be provided to vistors.

Zeist is a small town in the centre of The Netherlands (NL), a few kms east of Utrecht. The town has its own palace, or Slot (https://www.slotzeist.nl/). By walking a few hundred metres south of the house, you will be in the woods.
