Spacious Detached Family Home with Unique Second Floor Addition in Veldhoven
Key Features
Upsides
- The unique raised roof creates a full second floor with an additional bedroom and second bathroom, making this the only property in the street with this feature and providing exceptional living space of 243 square meters.
- The luxury Siematic kitchen is equipped with high-end appliances including a Liebherr refrigerator with adjustable temperature zones, a 90 cm induction cooktop with bridge function, a gas wok burner, combination steam oven, and Quooker instant boiling water tap.
- The sunroom at the rear features extensive glazing, underfloor heating, and automatic roof sun blinds, creating a versatile additional living space that can be enjoyed throughout the year.
- The location in the popular 't Look neighborhood offers excellent proximity to major employers like ASML and the High Tech Campus, Eindhoven Airport, as well as schools, shops, parks, and family-friendly amenities like the nearby children's farm De Hazewinkel.
- The professionally designed backyard provides privacy with multiple terraces, a canopy, artificial grass play area, and a pond with fountain, complemented by mature planting that creates a tranquil outdoor environment.
Downsides
- The energy label C indicates moderate energy efficiency, which may result in higher energy costs compared to more recently built or thoroughly renovated properties with better ratings.
- The combination boiler (Remeha Quinta) dates from 2010, meaning it is approaching 15 years old and may require replacement in the near future, which represents a significant expense.
- The backyard faces east, which means it receives morning sun but less evening sunlight, potentially limiting enjoyment of the outdoor space during summer evenings.
- A strip of land at the front is rented from the municipality for approximately 15 euros per year, which represents a minor ongoing cost and administrative obligation rather than full ownership.
- The original fireplace has been removed, which some buyers might view as a negative feature, although the listing notes it could potentially be reinstated.
Description
Located on a quiet residential street in the sought-after neighborhood of 't Look in Veldhoven, this surprisingly spacious family home has been significantly extended and upgraded over the years. The property stands out in the street due to its raised roof, which has created a full additional floor that no other home in the area possesses. With a total of five bedrooms, two bathrooms, a sunroom, and a garage, this residence offers ample space for families looking for comfort and functionality.
The ground floor welcomes you through a covered entrance into a hallway that features a recently updated electrical panel equipped with heavy current connections. A storage closet under the stairs provides practical space for everyday items. From the hallway, you have access to both the living areas and an additional room on the ground floor. This versatile space benefits from an extra window that allows pleasant daylight to enter, making it highly suitable for use as a home office, playroom, or even an additional bedroom for guests or family members who prefer to stay on the main level.
The ground floor has been finished with a wooden herringbone floor and smooth plastered walls, creating a clean and modern aesthetic. Ensuite doors with built-in closets lead to the spacious and bright living room. Large window sections ensure abundant natural light fills the space throughout the day. The original fireplace has been removed, though the listing notes that it could potentially be reinstated if desired by the new owners.
The closed kitchen is a luxurious Siematic design featuring high-quality built-in appliances. These include a large Liebherr refrigerator with adjustable temperature zones, a combination oven, and a combination steam oven. The cooking arrangement consists of a 90 centimeter induction cooktop with bridge function alongside a separate gas wok burner. A Quooker instant boiling water tap is also installed. The kitchen includes a pleasant bar area that is ideal for casual breakfasts or quick meals. Adjacent to the kitchen, a utility room houses connections for washing appliances and offers additional cabinet space for storage.
At the rear of the property, a generous sunroom has been added. This space features extensive glazing, underfloor heating, and automatic roof sun blinds. The sunroom serves as a wonderful additional living area where residents can enjoy the morning sun while being protected from the elements. It effectively extends the living space and creates a seamless connection to the outdoor areas.
The first floor contains four spacious bedrooms. One of these is currently used as a home office and can easily be enlarged by combining it with an adjacent space. Another bedroom at the rear features a dormer window that provides extra room and natural light. One bedroom is equipped with air conditioning for comfort during warmer months. The main bathroom on this floor is generously proportioned and fully equipped with a bathtub, shower, double vanity unit, and electric underfloor heating.
A fixed staircase leads to the second floor, which represents the unique feature of this property. Thanks to the roof raising, this level functions as a complete residential floor rather than a typical attic space. It contains the fifth bedroom, which also has air conditioning. A second bathroom on this level includes a shower. Additional storage space is available under the sloping roof at both the front and rear, as well as on the landing area.
The backyard has been professionally designed by a landscape architect and offers considerable privacy. Multiple terraces provide various spots for outdoor relaxation. A canopy structure offers sheltered seating, while an artificial grass play area caters to families with children. A pond with a fountain adds a decorative element to the garden. Mature planting and a distinctive tree contribute to the green and tranquil atmosphere of the outdoor space.
The garage is attached to the property and features an insulated roof. A practical attic level above the garage provides additional storage space, making the garage suitable not only for parking but also as a hobby or workshop area. The front driveway offers parking space for approximately three vehicles.
The property is situated on a quiet, low-traffic street in the attractive 't Look neighborhood. Essential amenities including shops, schools, a park, and the surrounding countryside are all within close proximity. The location provides excellent access to major roads leading to Eindhoven Airport, the High Tech Campus, and ASML. A playground and children's farm called De Hazewinkel are within walking distance, adding to the family-friendly appeal of the area.
At the front of the property, there is a strip of municipal land that is currently used by the property, rented for approximately 15 euros per year. This arrangement provides additional space and contributes to an open feeling at the front of the home. The exterior of the property is scheduled to be painted in 2025.
The home features automatic electric screens on the ground floor interior and air conditioning on the first and second floors. The building dates from 1974 but has been substantially renovated and extended. It has a lean-to roof covered with tiles and full insulation throughout. Heating is provided by a Remeha Quinta gas combination boiler from 2010, supplemented by partial underfloor heating. Hot water comes from the combination boiler and an electric boiler. The property holds energy label C.
With a living area of 243 square meters, 22 square meters of other indoor space, and a plot of 601 square meters, this detached family home offers substantial living space in a convenient and desirable location.
