Description
Dokter Rauppstraat 20 in Bergeijk presents a compelling real estate opportunity where character, class, and comfort are brought into perfect balance. This is a residence where every detail appears to have been considered. It is a characteristic 1930s home that possesses both a distinctive exterior appearance and a warm, inviting atmosphere. The property has been fully renovated and made sustainable through the use of high quality materials. While authentic details from the original construction have been carefully preserved, the level of comfort is entirely modern. Living here offers a combination of spaciousness, luxury, and energy efficiency on a top location near the center of Bergeijk.
The house has been significantly extended, resulting in a generous and light filled living area. The layout includes a separate office space and a playroom, a luxury open kitchen, a practical utility room, four bedrooms, and a gigantic bathroom. The ground floor has been completely insulated and features underfloor heating as the main heating source. The walls and roof are also fully insulated, and hardwood window frames with HR++ glazing have been applied throughout the property, achieving an Energy Label A.
Upon entering the property via the green, landscaped front garden, one reaches the classic covered entrance. Behind the authentic front door lies a warm hallway featuring a solid oak floor with underfloor heating, sleek plasterwork, and a high quality finish. This area houses a spacious staircase cupboard and a completely renewed meter cupboard with 11 groups, two heavy duty groups, and a fiber optic connection.
The living room is a space where one immediately wishes to remain. The interplay of chic black panel doors, leaded glass windows, and an abundance of natural light ensures a sense of atmosphere and character. At the front of the house, there is a generous seating area where a large corner sofa fits effortlessly. Towards the rear, the dining area is situated where a long table for family and friends finds its perfect place. Adjacent to this is an extra storage cupboard. In the side extension, a modern cast resin floor has been installed that seamlessly connects to the oak floor. Here, a playroom has been created using a smart room divider, which has also allowed for the creation of a stylish home workspace. From this room, there is a pleasant view over the street.
The open kitchen is an absolute eyecatcher. Stepping inside feels like entering a professional kitchen environment. Sliding garden doors ensure a direct connection with the outdoor terrace. The kitchen consists of a spacious wall arrangement and a large cooking island, both featuring a ceramic worktop. The equipment is complete and luxurious. It includes a double sink with a Quooker, a wine climate cabinet, a dishwasher, an oven, a combination microwave oven, a Novy induction cooktop with integrated extraction, two Liebherr refrigerators, and two freezers. The oval integrated table in the island makes this a perfect place to gather together.
The utility room is sleekly finished with the same cast resin floor. Here, the laundry connections are located, along with a door to the garden. Additionally, a modern toilet room with a hanging toilet and a faucet is present here.
The first floor also features a high level of finishing with solid oak floors, sleek plasterwork, and a stylish appearance. The master bedroom at the rear is equipped with air conditioning, a custom built closet, and sliding doors opening onto the generous roof terrace. This terrace is located on the southwest and is fully fenced, allowing one to enjoy the afternoon and evening sun in complete privacy.
The bathroom at the front is generously proportioned and luxuriously appointed. It includes a spacious walk in shower with a hand shower and a rain shower, a freestanding bathtub with a standing tap, a double vanity unit, a design radiator, a hanging toilet, and recessed spotlights. The oak sliding door fits perfectly with the style of the floor. Underfloor heating is also present here.
Via a fixed staircase, the surprisingly spacious second floor is reached. Here, two atmospherically finished bedrooms are found, featuring a cast resin floor, sleek plasterwork, and visible authentic roof beams. The bedroom at the rear has a dormer window and practical storage space. The bedroom at the front has two large Velux skylights with blackout blinds and a storage cupboard containing the central heating installation from 2017.
The exterior of the property matches the quality of the home. The backyard features a sleek lawn, decorative paving, and offers full privacy. The garden is situated on the sunny southwest. There is a spacious storage shed with electricity and water, as well as a private rear entrance. The front garden is planted with greenery and has its own driveway with preparation for a charging point for electric vehicles.
Situated in the desirable area of Bergeijk, this home enjoys a prime position that combines residential tranquility with convenience. The location is described as a top spot, situated against the center of the village. This means that daily amenities such as shops, schools, and restaurants are within comfortable walking distance, enhancing the practicality of daily life. The neighborhood itself is characterized by a quiet road and a residential atmosphere, contributing to a peaceful living environment. Despite being in a village setting, the property offers a significant degree of privacy, both in the garden and on the roof terrace, making it a secluded sanctuary.
The architectural style of the house is that of a Herenhuis or mansion style townhouse, reflecting the building trends of the 1930s. This era is known for solid construction and attention to detail, elements that have been highlighted and preserved during the recent renovations. The half detached nature of the property means it shares one wall with a neighbor, yet the layout and insulation ensure that this does not detract from the sense of privacy within the home. The roof is a traditional tiled pitched roof, which not only contributes to the aesthetic but also protects the insulated structure beneath.
The renovation work carried out in 2023, including the significant extension, has modernized the home without stripping away its soul. The extension has added valuable square meters to the living space, particularly in the form of the side area which now serves as a versatile office and playroom. The choice of materials throughout the renovation speaks to a desire for longevity and style. The use of solid oak on the floors contrasts beautifully with the modern cast resin floor in the extension, creating subtle zones within the open plan living areas. The kitchen appliances are not just standard but are high end brands chosen for performance and durability, such as Liebherr for cooling and Novy for cooking.
Energy efficiency was clearly a priority in the renovation. The achievement of Energy Label A is the result of a comprehensive approach to insulation and heating. The floor insulation on the ground floor, coupled with wall and roof insulation, creates a thermal envelope that minimizes heat loss. The use of HR++ glass ensures that while the home is filled with natural light, heat is retained during the winter months. The floor heating system on the ground floor provides a consistent and comfortable warmth, eliminating the need for unsightly radiators and allowing for furniture placement flexibility. The presence of a Nefit combi boiler from 2017 ensures reliable hot water and heating supply, which is maintained in the easily accessible storage cupboard on the second floor.
Overall, this property represents a turnkey solution for buyers seeking a blend of historical charm and contemporary functionality. It requires no immediate work, having been freshly painted externally and modernized internally, with a schedule already in place for future maintenance to ensure the property remains in excellent condition. The inclusion of a driveway and preparation for an electric vehicle charging point caters to modern transportation needs, making the home ready for the future while respecting its past.
