DWELL
Via the front garden, you reach the entrance to the home. A nice place to park your bike and an immediate warm welcome thanks to the characteristic facade with bay window, round front door, and authentic owl mailbox. Inside, you immediately sense the atmosphere of the 1930s, partly due to the original wall tiles in the hall. From here, you have access to the cellar storage, the enlarged toilet, and the living room.

The living room immediately feels bright and pleasant thanks to the large windows at both the front and back. The charming bay window at the front adds extra character to the space and provides that distinctive 1930s look.

At the rear, you'll find the open-plan kitchen, which is directly connected to the dining area. This creates a cozy and practical living space with ample room for a large dining table for elaborate meals or gatherings with friends and family. French doors lead directly out into the backyard.

SLEEPING AND BATHING
The first floor was extended in 2009 with an upper storey, making the bathroom and bedroom remarkably spacious. This floor features three well-sized bedrooms.

The spacious master bedroom at the rear offers ample space for a large double bed and extensive wardrobe space. The bedroom at the front is also generously sized and extra cozy thanks to the characteristic bay window. The third room is ideal as a child's room, home office, or guest room.

The bathroom has a neutral and well-maintained finish, and features a walk-in shower, toilet, double vanity, and a washing machine connection.

On the second floor, you arrive at the landing where the central heating boiler is located and where there is potential space for (additional) laundry connections. In addition, you will find two fully-sized bedrooms here. Thanks to the dormer window at the rear, a spacious room has been created here, and the bedroom at the front is also surprisingly spacious. The visible original beams once again add extra atmosphere and character here.

OUTSIDE LIFE
The house has both a front and backyard, allowing you to find a nice spot in the sun at any time of day.

The backyard faces east and is a lovely spot for breakfast or a cup of coffee in the morning sun. There is ample space for both a dining table and a cozy lounge area. In the front yard, you can enjoy the afternoon and evening sun; perfect for relaxing outside after a long day. At the back of the garden, there is a practical detached shed and a back entrance with a locked shared gate.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD
Chopinstraat is located in the beloved Oog in Al: a quiet, green, and child-friendly neighborhood that is aptly called a “village in the city.” All daily amenities are within a short distance. For groceries, you can go to Händelstraat, which has an Albert Heijn supermarket, an Etos drugstore, and various specialty shops such as a baker, cheese shop, liquor store, cake shop, and optician.

Directly behind the house is the Jochem Uytdehaageplantsoen with a renovated playground, soccer field, and daycare. In addition, you will find several playgrounds, daycare facilities, and no fewer than three primary schools in the neighborhood. This makes it an ideal living environment for families and young children.

The Oog in Al neighborhood also has a lot to offer in terms of hospitality and recreation. For example, within the neighborhood, you'll find Buurten in de Fabriek and Landhuis in de Stad, both popular spots for lunch, drinks, or dinner. Additionally, the green Park Oog in Al is just a short distance away, complete with a playground and petting zoo.

The accessibility is excellent. Within minutes, you can drive towards the A2 or A12, and Utrecht Central Station and the city center of Utrecht are also quickly accessible by bike.
