Verzorgde 2-onder-1-kapwoning met serre en garage nabij Wilhelminakanaal
Key Features
Upsides
- Excellent energy label A rating supported by 11 solar panels, district heating, and full insulation including roof, wall, and floor insulation, resulting in very low energy costs.
- The conservatory added in 2022 provides 21 square meters of building-bound outdoor space, effectively extending the living area and creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection on a southeast-facing garden.
- Practical layout with four bedrooms across two full floors plus an additional room on the second floor, an attached garage, and parking on private property, offering comprehensive storage and parking solutions.
- Quiet location in a child-friendly neighborhood with excellent local amenities including shopping centers, schools, sports clubs, and good public transport connections to the city center and train station.
- Well-maintained bathroom with electric underfloor heating, Whirlpool tub, shower, double vanity, and natural light from a large roof window, complemented by air conditioning on both the ground floor and second floor.
Downsides
- The plot size of 188 square meters is relatively modest for a 2-on-1-kapwoning, which may limit outdoor space ambitions or future extensions.
- The property is connected to district heating (stadsverwarming), which means the homeowner has no control over the heating system and is dependent on the utility provider, including associated contract terms and costs.
- The garage has a capacity for only one car, and with growing families the combined indoor and outdoor parking solution may feel limited.
- The listing specifies acceptance is negotiable (in overleg), which means no firm move-in date has been established yet.
- The original construction date of 1987 means the property is nearly 40 years old, and some building components such as the kitchen and bathroom installations may be approaching the end of their typical lifespan despite the recent conservatory addition.
Description
This semi-detached family home is situated on Borselestraat 27 in the Gesworen Hoek district of the Reeshof neighborhood in Tilburg. Built in 1987, the property offers a generous living environment with a total living area of approximately 102 square meters, a volume of 429 cubic meters, and sits on a plot of 188 square meters.
The ground floor welcomes you through a hall that houses the fuse box equipped with fiber optic connection, a separate toilet, and the staircase leading to the upper floors. The living room is positioned at the front of the house, offering space for a comfortable seating area with views over the quiet street. The rear portion of the ground floor is naturally designated for dining, with ample room for a large dining table. The kitchen is practically arranged in a corner layout and fully equipped with an induction cooktop, extractor hood, dishwasher, refrigerator, and combination microwave oven.
A notable addition completed in 2022 is the full-width conservatory at the rear of the property. This space effectively bridges indoor and outdoor living, with glass partition walls that can be opened on sunny days, making the garden feel like an extension of the living room. The ground floor is finished with practical tiled flooring, spray-finished ceilings and walls, and an air conditioning unit that maintains a comfortable temperature even during warm summer days.
On the first floor, the property provides three bedrooms and a spacious bathroom. The front dormer window creates additional space and natural light on this floor. Each bedroom has its own character and size, offering flexibility for a master bedroom, children's rooms, or a home office. The rooms are neatly finished with modern laminate flooring and/or carpet, and roller shutters at the front provide extra comfort. The bathroom is fully tiled and features electric underfloor heating, a design radiator, a Whirlpool soaking tub, a shower cubicle, and a double vanity sink. A separate floating toilet completes the bathroom. The large roof window provides pleasant daylight and natural ventilation.
A fixed staircase leads to the second floor, where a surprisingly spacious additional room awaits, illuminated by a large roof window. This space could serve as a fourth bedroom, a home office, or a hobby room. An air conditioning unit ensures comfort even on warm days. On the landing, you will find connections for laundry appliances and the inverter for the 11 solar panels.
The rear garden is designed for ease of enjoyment with minimal maintenance required. Artificial grass and durable materials ensure the garden looks well-kept throughout the year. The sheltered positioning offers privacy while the sun creates different pleasant spots throughout the day. The garden is accessible via a rear entrance and the conservatory features an outdoor tap. The garage is constructed of brick, is attached, and is equipped with electricity. It offers storage space or room for a hobby, or of course parking for a car. In front of the garage, there is parking available on private property. The front garden is modern and low-maintenance.
The property is connected to the district heating network and is fully insulated, including roof, wall, floor insulation and double glazing. The current energy label is A, supported by 11 solar panels.
The Reeshof neighborhood is known for its spacious layout, greenery, and numerous facilities. Within a short distance, you will find the Heyhoef shopping center, Buurmalsenplein, and Dalempromenade. Schools for both primary and secondary education are distributed throughout the area, as are sports clubs and recreational opportunities. Public transport is well-organized with bus connections to the city center and Reeshof station, while major road arteries are quickly accessible.
