The house, spanning 170 sq. meters over three levels, includes 4 bedrooms upstairs, 1 ofice, 2 bathrooms, 3 toilets, and a spacious living area with a big modern kitchen downstairs. We completed a comprehensive renovation in 2024, ensuring that our home is comfortable, quiet, clean, and perfectly situated to explore Utrecht and its surroundings.

The house boasts a smaal city garden where you can relax in the sun in the afternoon and have dinner. It's conveniently on a 2 minutes walking ditance from the old town (900 meters from famous Dom cathedral, and a 5 minute bycicle ride to the centrl station (the biggest train station in The Netherlands, connecting you with the whole of the country and Europe). Also nearby we have multiple busses, restaurants and shops on a one minute walking distance, making it a breeze to explore the city center and beyond.
