Description
Experience a unique holiday atmosphere throughout the entire year in this detached residence featuring a wonderfully bright and open character. This property, which underwent a thorough renovation in 2016, offers a distinctive living experience with two bedrooms, a generous living room boasting impressive glass facades, a sunny garden encompassing the home, a driveway capable of accommodating multiple vehicles, and a detached storage shed. The characteristic A-shaped roof construction and the low-maintenance facade cladding made of durable Ki-kern boards lend this home a timeless and distinguished appearance. The house is situated in the wooded and child-friendly residential area of 't Soperse Bos, located just outside the city limits of 's-Hertogenbosch. Despite the tranquil setting, daily amenities and major arterial roads are found in the immediate vicinity, ensuring that convenience is never compromised.
The residence has a volume of approximately 276 cubic meters and a living area of around 74 square meters. The plot covers an area of 486 square meters. While the original construction year is 1972, the extensive renovations in 2016 have modernized the infrastructure and aesthetics significantly. The property is classified as a detached family home, offering privacy and independence that is highly sought after.
Upon entering or viewing the ground floor layout, one is immediately struck by the spaciousness of the living room. This area stands out due to the spectacular, fully glazed bay window that surrounds the space on three sides. Through these enormous glass surfaces, an abundance of natural daylight floods the interior, allowing residents to enjoy a beautiful, unobstructed view of the surrounding greenery. The connection between the indoors and outdoors is a key feature of this home. The living room is equipped with an air conditioning system that provides both heating and cooling capabilities, ensuring a comfortable indoor climate regardless of the season. The living room transitions seamlessly into a spacious dining and sitting area, finished with a laminate floor. Through the French doors, one has direct access to the terrace and the garden, making it ideal for entertaining or simply relaxing in the fresh air.
From the living area, the kitchen in a corner setup is accessible. The kitchen is fitted with various built-in appliances, ensuring that it is fully functional for daily use. These appliances include a hob with an extractor hood, a microwave, a refrigerator, and a dishwasher. The layout facilitates an efficient workflow, and the placement allows for interaction with guests or family members in the living area.
The modern bathroom is accessible via the kitchen. This bathroom is well-appointed with a bathtub, a vanity unit, and a toilet. A window in the bathroom ensures pleasant light entry and natural ventilation, which is a practical feature for maintaining a fresh environment. Also situated on the ground floor is a bedroom, a feature that makes the property particularly suitable for age-resistant living. Having a sleeping area on the main level adds to the convenience and future-proofing of the home. Accessible via the ground floor bedroom is a utility room which houses the washing machine connection and the electricity meter cupboard. This internal storage space adds to the practical organization of the household utilities.
A fixed staircase located in the kitchen leads to the first floor. On this level, the second bedroom is situated under the characteristic pointed roof. This room features a Velux skylight and a triangular window frame that offers a view of the tree tops, reinforcing the feeling of living amidst nature. At the rear of this bedroom, there are handy storage spaces located under the sloping roof, providing room for storage without cluttering the living area.
This detached residence is move-in ready. The windows are largely comprised of plastic frames with double glazing, contributing to better insulation and lower maintenance requirements compared to older wooden frames. The facade is covered in Ki-kern plating, which is known for its durability and low maintenance needs. The roof is a saddle roof with the characteristic A-shape mentioned earlier.
The location is a significant selling point. Within walking distance, one can find a beautiful landscape featuring forests and a large pond. Despite the rural and forested feel, everyday amenities are located a short distance away. The historic Burgundian city center of 's-Hertogenbosch is easily accessible. Furthermore, major cities such as Eindhoven, Nijmegen, and the Randstad are readily reachable via the nearby A2 and A59 motorways. This offers the perfect combination of living freely in beautiful nature while having the amenities of a large city and its facilities always within reach.
The property is offered for a price of 495,000 euros, costs to be paid by the buyer. The asking price per square meter is approximately 6,689 euros. The ownership situation is full ownership. It is important to note that owners of homes in 't Soperse Bos are part of a Homeowners Association. The service costs for this association are 60 euros per month. This fee likely contributes to the maintenance of shared infrastructure or green areas within the specific neighborhood development.
The energy label is D. The home has largely double glazing. Heating and hot water are provided by a central heating boiler. The specific boiler mentioned is a Remeha, a gas-fired combi-boiler from 2016, which is owned by the current owners. This boiler is relatively new, having been installed during the renovation period.
The outdoor space is designed for low maintenance and enjoyment. The garden is situated around the house, allowing for sun at various times of the day. Parking is ample, with space on the private property for multiple cars. A detached wooden shed provides additional external storage for gardening tools, bicycles, or outdoor equipment. The setting offers a free view and a sense of privacy enhanced by the green surroundings.
Living here means embracing a lifestyle that balances modern comfort with natural serenity. The layout is practical, with the essential facilities located on the ground floor, while the upper floor offers a cozy retreat. The renovation in 2016 ensures that the structural and aesthetic elements are up to current standards, removing much of the worry often associated with older homes. The proximity to 's-Hertogenbosch adds a layer of urban convenience, providing access to high culture, extensive shopping options, and dining establishments, while the immediate vicinity offers peace, quiet, and space.
