Key Features
Description
This attractive family residence is situated on Cornelis de Vriendtstraat in the Barrier district of Eindhoven. The property was constructed in 2006 and designed in the characteristic 1930s architectural style, combining traditional aesthetics with modern building standards. The home has been exceptionally well maintained and is offered in move-in ready condition, requiring no immediate renovations or improvements.
The property spans a total living area of 129 square meters, situated on a plot of 156 square meters. The building has a volume of 458 cubic meters and features a pitched roof covered with tiles. As a terraced house (tussenwoning), it forms part of a row of similar homes that create a harmonious streetscape in this renewed residential area.
Upon entering the home, you are welcomed into a reception hall that provides access to the meter cupboard, a toilet room equipped with a wall-hung toilet and small sink, a storage and pantry cupboard, and the staircase to the upper floors. The hall connects through to the main living area. The ground floor features an attractive tiled floor, while the first and second floors have been finished with neat laminate flooring. Walls throughout the property are smoothly plastered, and ceilings have been finished with spray work for a clean, uniform appearance.
The living room and kitchen form an open and pleasant space with a natural division between the sitting area and dining section. The kitchen is positioned at the front of the house in a corner arrangement and comes equipped with various built-in appliances for convenient meal preparation. At the rear of the living area, double doors open onto the garden, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living spaces.
The first floor can be reached via the staircase from the hall. This level features a landing that provides access to three bedrooms and the main bathroom. A dormer window has been installed at the front of the property, adding extra space and light to one of the bedrooms. The master bedroom measures approximately 14 square meters and is located at the rear of the home. A second bedroom of approximately 10 square meters is currently being used as a walk-in closet but would serve equally well as a home office, guest room, or children's bedroom. The third bedroom on this floor measures approximately 12 square meters and is situated at the front of the property.
The bathroom on this floor has been thoughtfully appointed with an walk-in shower, a bathtub, a vanity unit with sink, a designer radiator, and a wall-hung toilet. The bathroom floor is equipped with underfloor heating for added comfort during colder months.
The second floor is accessible via a fixed staircase and consists of a landing area and a fourth bedroom. The landing houses the central heating boiler, connections for washing machine and dryer, the mechanical ventilation unit, and the inverter for the solar panels. The fourth bedroom measures approximately 18 square meters and features storage space under the sloping roof sections as well as two skylights that provide abundant natural light. The listing notes that there is also the possibility to create an additional bedroom on this floor if desired.
The outdoor spaces complement the living areas well. The front garden contains varied planting that adds visual appeal to the streetside. The rear garden measures 70 square meters with dimensions of approximately 11.25 meters in depth and 6.25 meters in width, oriented toward the northeast. A particular highlight of the outdoor area is the spacious conservatory or canopy structure, which effectively extends the usable living space into the garden. The garden also includes a detached stone storage shed with a loft space and electrical connections. From the garden, there is access to the enclosed inner courtyard where the private parking space is located.
The property comes with a dedicated parking space on closed terrain, which is a valuable feature in urban areas. Additionally, there is ample public parking available on the street. Service costs for the maintenance of the inner courtyard and green areas amount to 23.31 euros per month.
In terms of energy efficiency, the property achieves an A energy label, which is the second-highest rating available. This excellent score is the result of comprehensive insulation measures including roof insulation, wall insulation, and floor insulation. The property also benefits from 12 solar panels that contribute to reduced energy costs. Heating and hot water are provided by a Vaillant gas-fired combination boiler that dates from 2006 and is included in the purchase. Partial underfloor heating is present in the bathroom.
