Mid-terrace home with deep backyard near Tilburg city center

This mid-terrace home is situated on Generaal de Wetstraat in the Afrikaanderbuurt Oost neighborhood of Tilburg. The property offers a living area of 85 square meters and stands on a plot of 140 square meters. The house was built around 1954 and has a volume of approximately 311 cubic meters. The asking price is 315,000 euros, which translates to approximately 3,706 euros per square meter of living space.

The location of this property is particularly advantageous. It is positioned near the city center of Tilburg while still maintaining a quiet residential atmosphere. Within walking distance, residents can find a supermarket, a bakery, and various other shopping facilities. The leisure area known as Stappegoor is only a few minutes away, offering amenities such as the Jumbo Tilburg Foodmarkt, the Stappegoor recreational swimming pool, the T-kwadraat sports complex, and the Ice Sports Center. The vibrant Piushaven and the AaBe Fabriek shopping center are also nearby. The property provides excellent accessibility to major roads leading to the cities of Breda, Eindhoven, and s-Hertogenbosch.

The ground floor of the residence features an entrance hall with an oak floor and a tiled toilet room. The hall provides access to the kitchen and the staircase leading to the first floor. At the rear of the house is a kitchen with a living area measuring approximately 11 square meters. This kitchen has an oak floor and a straight kitchen layout that includes a four-burner gas cooktop, an extractor hood, a refrigerator, and an oven. It should be noted that the refrigerator and oven are no longer functioning. The kitchen also contains a practical cellar cupboard for additional storage. Adjacent to the kitchen is a utility room of approximately 8 square meters with an oak floor, connections for laundry appliances, and a door leading to the backyard.

The living room measures approximately 17 square meters and features an oak floor, plastered walls and ceiling finishes, and a renewed electrical panel. The entire ground floor benefits from the warmth and character of oak flooring.

The first floor is accessible via a landing with a laminate floor that provides access to three bedrooms and the bathroom. The rear bedroom is spacious at approximately 12 square meters and includes a built-in closet, a fixed sink, and a roller shutter. The front bedroom measures approximately 10 square meters and has a built-in closet and a fixed sink with a cabinet. A smaller front bedroom of approximately 7 square meters contains connections for laundry appliances. All bedrooms on this floor have laminate flooring.

The bathroom was renovated in 2015 and is equipped with a fixed sink with cabinet, a shower with a thermostatic faucet, and a wall-hung toilet. The bathroom also features recessed spotlights for adequate lighting.

The second floor consists of a large attic storage space accessible via a pull-down ladder. This attic has a skylight and houses the central heating boiler, a Remeha Calenta from 2016, which is gas-fired and owned. There is potential to install a permanent staircase and convert this space into an additional bedroom, which would increase the sleeping capacity of the home.

The exterior of the property features a deep backyard situated on the north side. Despite the northern orientation, the depth of the garden ensures there is always a spot to enjoy either sun or shade depending on preference and time of day. The garden is paved and includes a grass area, various borders with plants, and a covered back entrance. A stone storage shed is located at the rear of the property, providing additional storage space for garden equipment, bicycles, or other items.

The house has maintenance-friendly plastic window frames with double glazing that were installed in 2014, with the exception of the front door. These windows contribute to better insulation and reduced maintenance requirements compared to traditional wooden frames.

The property currently has an energy label D, which is typical for homes from this construction period. While the windows have been updated, the overall energy efficiency could potentially be improved with additional insulation measures in the future.

It is important to note that the property requires modernization. While it has been neatly maintained by the current owner, various elements could benefit from updating to meet contemporary standards and preferences. The non-functioning kitchen appliances will need to be replaced, and prospective buyers should consider the overall modernization needs when evaluating the property.

Due to the age of the property, an age clause and an asbestos clause will be included in the sale. Additionally, a non-self-occupancy clause will be applied, as the seller has not personally occupied the property for the past ten years. These clauses are standard for properties of this age and ownership situation.

Parking in the area is regulated through paid parking and parking permits, which is common in neighborhoods close to city centers.

The transfer of the property will be conducted in consultation between buyer and seller. The sale will use the standard purchase agreement model established by the Dutch Association of Real Estate Agents (NVM), the Consumers Association, and the Homeowners Association. This agreement includes a standard requirement for the buyer to provide a deposit or bank guarantee equal to ten percent of the purchase price.

This property presents an opportunity for buyers seeking a home in a central location with potential for customization and modernization according to their own preferences. The combination of a quiet residential street, proximity to urban amenities, and the possibility to expand the living space by converting the attic makes this a property worth considering for those willing to invest in renovation work.
