Description
The property is a characteristic semi-detached house located within walking distance of the pleasant center of Geldrop. The home is situated on a beautiful park-like plot measuring 1,243 square meters. This unique residence combines atmosphere, living space, and versatility in a way that makes it suitable for various lifestyles. With all facilities located on the ground floor, seven bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a multifunctional space with its own entrance, this property presents itself as an ideal solution for large families, those who work from home, or individuals seeking age-appropriate living accommodations.
The location offers the best of both worlds: quiet living with ample privacy and greenery, while shops, schools, restaurants, sports facilities, and public transportation are all within close proximity. The roads leading to Eindhoven are also easily accessible, making this location practical for commuters.
The ground floor layout begins with a spacious driveway that provides parking space for multiple vehicles, a carport, and a well-maintained front garden. From here, you reach the covered entrance of the property. The vestibule contains the meter cupboard and is separated from the central reception hall by curtains. This spacious hall forms the heart of the home and provides access to the living room, kitchen, toilet, cellar, and the upper floors.
The generous living room exudes character and atmosphere thanks to the attractive bay window, authentic built-in cabinets, ornamental moldings, and French doors leading to the backyard. The large windows ensure plenty of natural light and create a pleasant living environment. The living room is in open connection with the spacious kitchen.
The kitchen is arranged in a practical L-shaped layout and features various upper and lower cabinets, a synthetic worktop, electric stove with oven, extractor hood, double sink, and a cozy breakfast bar with additional storage space. From the kitchen, a portal area is accessible.
This portal provides access to the utility room, bathroom, multifunctional space, and both the front and back gardens. The utility room contains the laundry connections and one of the two central heating installations.
The spacious multifunctional room on the ground floor is an absolute added value to this property. Thanks to the large windows, sliding patio door, private entrance, and atmospheric fireplace, this space is highly suitable as a bedroom, practice room, home office, studio, playroom, or garden room. The versatility of this space adds significantly to the overall functionality of the home.
The fully tiled bathroom on the ground floor is equipped with a shower, vanity unit, wall-hung toilet, radiator, and ventilation window. Having a complete bathroom on the ground floor level makes this property particularly suitable for individuals with mobility considerations or those who prefer single-level living.
The park-like backyard offers plenty of privacy, greenery, and tranquility. With various terrace options, a patio cover, a spacious storage shed, and a rear access path, this is a wonderful place to relax, garden, or gather with family and friends. The garden faces north and measures 748 square meters, with a depth of 41 meters and a width of 18.25 meters.
The first floor features a spacious landing with beautiful authentic stained glass windows that provide access to four bedrooms, the second bathroom, and the fixed staircase to the second floor. The bedrooms vary in size and offer numerous possibilities for families, home workspaces, or hobby rooms. The spacious bedroom at the front has a balcony and a closet with stairs, while the generous bedroom at the rear is equipped with built-in closets and a sink.
The second bathroom on this floor is fully tiled and features a walk-in shower with rain shower head, toilet, and vanity unit. Having two full bathrooms in the home adds convenience for larger families or those who frequently host guests.
The surprisingly spacious second floor features a landing, a separate storage room with the second central heating installation, and three cozy bedrooms. All rooms have dormer windows and built-in closets, which provides extra space and daylight. One of the bedrooms also has its own sink. This additional floor makes the property particularly suitable for large families or those who need extra space for various purposes.
The property was built in 1929 and has a composite roof covered with tiles. The total volume of the building is 1,044 cubic meters. The living area measures 262 square meters, with an additional 15 square meters of other indoor space and 46 square meters of building-bound outdoor space. There is also 18 square meters of external storage space in the form of a freestanding wooden shed.
The property has energy label D and features partial double glazing. Heating and hot water are provided by a Remeha gas-fired combination boiler from 2017, which is owned by the property. While the energy label indicates there is room for improvement in terms of insulation, the relatively recent boiler installation is a positive aspect.
The cadastral data shows that the property consists of three parcels: GELDROP D 3621 measuring 966 square meters, GELDROP D 3619 measuring 35 square meters, and GELDROP D 2836 measuring 242 square meters. All parcels are in full ownership. The total plot size as listed is 1,243 square meters, which aligns with the sum of these three parcels.
The asking price is 825,000 euros, which translates to approximately 3,149 euros per square meter of living space. The property is available and transfer is to be negotiated. A carport is present for covered parking, and there is ample parking space on the property for multiple vehicles.
A notable feature mentioned in the listing is the possibility of realizing an additional building at the rear of the plot. Given the substantial size of the garden and the depth of 41 meters, this could present opportunities for those who need even more space, whether for a home office, guest accommodation, or hobby purposes. However, any such development would be subject to local zoning regulations and permit requirements.
The property combines historical character elements such as stained glass windows, ornamental moldings, and a bay window with practical modern living requirements. The presence of exterior sun blinds adds to the comfort during warmer months, helping to regulate the temperature inside the home.
For those considering this property, it is worth noting that while the home offers extensive living space and a generous plot, the age of the building means that certain aspects may require attention or updating over time. The partial double glazing suggests that some windows have been updated while others retain their original single glazing, which could be an area for future improvement to enhance energy efficiency and comfort.
The location in Geldrop offers a balanced lifestyle with access to urban amenities while maintaining a residential character. The proximity to Eindhoven, a major city in the Brabant region, adds to the appeal for those who work in or regularly visit the larger urban center. The excellent road connections make commuting straightforward, while the availability of public transportation provides alternative travel options.
This property represents a substantial family home in a desirable location, offering space, character, and flexibility. The combination of seven bedrooms, two bathrooms, a multifunctional ground floor space, and a large garden creates a living environment that can adapt to changing needs over time, whether for a growing family, a household with teenage children requiring their own spaces, or individuals who need room to work from home.
