Heating and hot water are provided by a gas-fired central heating boiler installed in 2022, which is included with the property.
Upon entering the property, you are welcomed into a hallway that leads to the main living areas. The living room is notably spacious and benefits from abundant natural light, creating a bright and airy atmosphere throughout the day. The wood-look laminate flooring runs continuously through the living spaces, providing visual cohesion and a warm, harmonious appearance.
The kitchen is located at the rear of the property and has been designed to be both functional and stylish. It features modern fittings including a stainless steel extractor hood, hob, dishwasher, and a practical cabinet wall housing the refrigerator and combination oven at eye level.

Accessible via an intermediate landing, the bathroom on the ground floor has been equipped with a spacious walk-in shower, toilet, and vanity unit with wall cabinet.

The first floor continues to impress with its light and spatial qualities. Three generously proportioned bedrooms offer versatility for various lifestyle needs. Whether configured as children's rooms, a home office, or guest accommodation, these spaces can adapt to changing requirements over time.
The two front-facing bedrooms benefit from built-in storage cupboards, providing practical solutions for organization and keeping living spaces clutter-free. These storage solutions are particularly valuable in a property of this era, where original storage options might be limited. The master bedroom at the rear of the property offers a particular highlight: direct access to a roof terrace, creating a private outdoor retreat at an elevated level where you can enjoy views of the surrounding area.
A storage attic, accessible via a hatch with a sliding ladder, provides surprisingly generous additional storage space. This area is ideal for keeping items neatly out of sight without compromising on living space below. The attic can accommodate seasonal items, holiday decorations, luggage, and other belongings that are not needed on a daily basis. According to the NEN 2580 measurement standard, this area is not included in the official living area calculation due to the lack of a fixed staircase and insufficient window dimensions.
The rear garden has been designed with low maintenance in mind, featuring paved surfaces that create a practical and pleasant outdoor area. With its eastern orientation, the garden enjoys morning sunshine, perfect for starting the day with a peaceful moment outdoors. The garden measures approximately 67 m², with dimensions of about 17 meters deep and 3.95 meters wide, providing ample space for outdoor furniture and potted plants.
At the far end of the garden, a brick shed with electricity provides secure storage for bicycles and garden equipment. This outbuilding adds significant practical value to the property, offering a dedicated space for items that might otherwise clutter the home. The property also benefits from a private rear access point, adding to the convenience for bringing in larger items or as an alternative entry point.
Parking in the area is managed through a combination of paid parking, public parking facilities, and parking permit options. The specific arrangements should be verified with the local municipality for the most current information. The availability of parking permits can be particularly advantageous in urban areas where parking might otherwise be challenging.
The property was constructed in 1936 and features a gable roof covered with tiles. The total volume of the property is 275 m³. The usable living space comprises 72 m², with an additional 2 m² of other internal space and 10 m² of external storage space. The property stands on a plot measuring 109 m² in total.
The measurement report has been prepared according to the NEN 2580 standard, an industry-wide measurement norm that provides consistent guidelines for property measurement. This standard specifies that areas such as attics without fixed stairs or with total light surface area less than 0.5 m² are not counted toward the living area. Consequently, the official living area may appear smaller than the actual floor area and smaller than comparable properties where the measurement standard has not been applied. Via Paul Makelaardij has the property measured by a certified company to ensure accuracy and compliance with current regulations.
This property presents an excellent opportunity to acquire a characterful home in one of Tilburg's most desirable neighborhoods. With its blend of period charm and modern practicality, combined with an unbeatable location near the Piushaven and city center, this home offers a quality of life that combines convenience, comfort, and character in equal measure.
