Gulden Bodem, Arnhem
NeighbourhoodThis detached house on Zijpendaalseweg sits in one of Arnhem's greener corners, where the streets are lined with mature trees and the pace of life slows down.

The 174 m² floor area is spread over two floors, and the 1955 build gives it a solid, mid-century feel. The asking price of €1,075,000 is on the high side compared to other detached houses in Arnhem, but the generous plot and leafy location justify the premium.

About Zijpendaalseweg 159, Arnhem
The price is on the high side compared to other detached houses in Arnhem, but the plot of 1,089 m² is exceptionally large for a home in this neighbourhood.

The plot measures 1,089 m², which is very generous for a detached house in this part of Arnhem. The exact layout of the garden is not described in the listing, but the size suggests plenty of room for a lawn, patio, flower beds and possibly a vegetable patch.
