Wolter Heukelslaan 53

A grand townhouse on a leafy street

This is a home with presence. On Wolter Heukelslaan in Utrecht's Oudwijk, this 1882 townhouse stands tall with 165 m² of living space. It's the most expensive of the 24 homes currently for sale in the neighbourhood, and at €1,145,000 it sits well above the local average, partly because it's nearly twice the size of a typical Oudwijk home. For context, terraced houses in Utrecht vary widely, but this one is clearly at the top end.

Oudwijk: a peaceful, well-kept enclave

Oudwijk is a calm, established neighbourhood. One resident describes it as a 'Peaceful neighborhood' with an 'active and engaged community' and 'good' neighbourly relations. The area is well maintained, with quality housing and reputable schools. Green spaces like Wilhelminapark are just around the corner. The neighbourhood Oudwijk is densely populated, over 4,900 addresses per km², and home to many singles and young professionals. It's a safe area, with residents giving it a 9.13 out of 10.

Daily life on Wolter Heukelslaan

For your morning bread, Albert Heijn is just a couple of streets away, and there's an Ekoplaza nearby too. Schools are within easy reach: KBS Montessori Buiten Wittevrouwen is a five-minute walk, and the Nieuwe Regentesseschool is similarly close. The municipality Utrecht offers everything you'd expect from a city centre, but Oudwijk itself feels residential and quiet. A park or garden is a couple of streets away, and a restaurant is on your doorstep.

At the time of writing

At present, the home is listed through several channels, including Kraaijkamp Makelaars. The asking price is €1,145,000, and with an energy label D, heating costs are something to factor in, especially in a neighbourhood where most homes have better labels.
