Description
The property is a well-positioned terraced house situated in the thoughtfully designed and family-friendly neighborhood of De Reit in Tilburg. This residential area is particularly known for its spacious layout and child-friendly atmosphere, making it an attractive location for families with children. The immediate surroundings offer abundant green spaces, playground facilities, and ample parking opportunities for residents and visitors alike.
One of the most distinctive features of this location is its proximity to the forest areas known as De Oude Warande and Het Wandelbos. Residents can enjoy the daily presence of singing birds, tranquility, and nature right at their doorstep. With some luck, one might even spot squirrels in these nearby woodland areas. Despite this peaceful natural setting, major roads and essential amenities are within easy reach.
The direct vicinity offers a comprehensive range of facilities including primary and secondary schools, daycare centers, supermarkets, shops, and medical services. The popular Spoorpark, Tilburg University, Tilburg University train station, Prise d'Eau golf course, and various sports clubs are all located nearby. By bicycle, the vibrant center of Tilburg can be reached in less than ten minutes. The city center is characterized by its pleasant terraces, excellent restaurants, atmospheric cafes, and a varied shopping selection. By car, the nearby access roads provide quick connections to surrounding villages, cities, and even Belgium, specifically the town of Poppel.
The property has a living area of approximately 95 square meters and is situated on a plot of 160 square meters. The total volume of the house is approximately 335 cubic meters. The house was originally built in 1963. The energy label is unfortunately not available at this time.
The ground floor of the property features a hall and entrance area that provides access to the staircase, a staircase cupboard, a toilet room, and the living room. The toilet room is equipped with a wall-hung toilet and a small sink. The living room extends across the full depth of the house, creating a spacious feeling. The finishing is neat, with a laminate floor and plastered walls and ceilings. A cozy open fireplace adds character to the living space. Large windows allow plenty of natural daylight to enter the room. At the rear, patio doors provide access to the back garden, creating a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living.
The kitchen is in open connection with the living room, which contributes to the sense of space. The kitchen features an L-shaped arrangement and is well-equipped with various conveniences. These include a gas hob, extractor hood, microwave, oven, dishwasher, and a stainless steel sink. This setup makes the kitchen practical for daily use and suitable for preparing meals for the family.
The first floor of the property is accessed via the landing, which provides access to the four bedrooms and the bathroom. Two bedrooms are located at the rear of the property and two at the front. The bedrooms are neatly finished with plastered walls. Three of the bedrooms have vinyl flooring, while one bedroom has a laminate floor. In one of the rear bedrooms, the central heating boiler is installed. This is a Vaillant boiler from 2022, which means it is relatively new and should provide reliable heating for years to come. The bathroom was renovated in 2020 and is fully tiled. It is equipped with a sink with vanity unit, a toilet, and a spacious walk-in shower.
The property benefits from both a front and back garden. The back garden faces west, which means it receives afternoon and evening sun, making it ideal for enjoying outdoor time after work or during weekends. The garden has been attractively laid out with decorative paving and planted borders. Due to the orientation of the garden, there is always a spot to be found in either sun or shade, depending on preference. At the rear of the garden, there is a storage building and a back entrance that provides access to the fire lane behind the houses. A lovely canopy covers the full width of the garden at the storage building, providing a covered outdoor seating area.
The stone storage building is equipped with electricity and running water. The connections for the washing appliances are also located here, which keeps the laundry facilities separate from the main living areas. This is a practical solution that frees up space inside the house.
The property has several notable features worth mentioning. It is a pleasant terraced house with four bedrooms, which is relatively generous for this type of property. The west-facing back garden is a significant advantage for those who enjoy outdoor living. The location in the popular De Reit neighborhood is considered excellent. Heating and hot water are provided by the relatively new CV boiler from Vaillant, installed in 2022. The entire house is fitted with plastic window frames, which require less maintenance than traditional wooden frames and generally offer better insulation.
The property is located near various amenities, including the Westermarkt shopping center and the Professor de Moorplein. The wooded environment near Het Wandelbos and De Oude Warande adds to the quality of living. The proximity to Tilburg University and various other educational institutions makes this location interesting for academic staff and students alike. The property is well-connected to road and rail networks leading to surrounding villages and cities.
The house features HR glass, which provides better insulation compared to older single or double glazing. Natural ventilation is present in the property. Outside sun blinds are available, which help keep the interior cool during warm summer days. The property is connected to a fiber optic cable, ensuring fast internet connectivity. A TV cable connection is also present. A chimney is available for the open fireplace in the living room.
Tilburg itself is a lively city in the province of North Brabant, known for its creative and entrepreneurial character. The city has a rich industrial past, particularly in the textile industry, which is still visible in trendy areas such as the Spoorzone, the Piushaven, and the TextielMuseum. Tilburg offers excellent facilities, including modern shopping centers, atmospheric hospitality venues, sports facilities, and a vibrant cultural life. The city is also a university city, with Tilburg University serving as an important knowledge center.
