- Practical modern conveniences are abundant, including air conditioning, a charging station for electric vehicles, a 3-phase power connection, and updated plumbing and electrical systems.

- Living in the city center implies potential noise from the urban environment, although the description notes the street is surprisingly quiet.
Description
This characteristic family residence, constructed in 1938, is situated on one of the most distinctive streets in the center of Oss. The property represents a harmonious blend of historical charm and contemporary comfort. Following a comprehensive renovation that began in 2016, the house has been transformed with great care and attention to detail into a modern family home where living comfort is paramount. The location is exceptionally convenient, situated in the heart of the city center within walking distance of all amenities and the central train station. Despite this central location, the property offers a surprising sense of tranquility. The deep, green backyard serves as a sheltered oasis, allowing residents to enjoy the outdoors in complete privacy.
Sustainability and modernization have been key priorities for the current owners. Since 2016, the property has been extensively renovated to meet high standards of energy efficiency. The house is fully insulated, including the walls, floors, and roof, and features double glazing throughout. These upgrades have resulted in an Energy Label A, ensuring the home is ready for the future. Additionally, the sewage system was completely replaced up to the street level in 2021. The property is heated by a central heating combi-boiler from 2012, supplemented by air heating and partial underfloor heating. To further enhance sustainability, the roof is equipped with twelve solar panels, contributing to lower energy costs and a reduced carbon footprint.
The layout of the ground floor is designed for modern living. Upon entering, one is immediately struck by the original terrazzo floor in the hallway, a beautiful authentic detail that has been preserved. The electrical systems have been fully updated during the renovation, including the meter cupboard with a three-phase connection and an extensive fuse box. The living room exudes atmosphere thanks to the characteristic bay window and a cozy seating area. An oak lamella parquet floor laid in a Hungarian point pattern, glued to concrete, provides a warm and luxurious aesthetic. Both the living room and the kitchen are fitted with comfortable underfloor heating, while air conditioning is available for use during warm summer days to ensure a pleasant indoor climate.
The absolute showpiece of the home is the stylish steel extension added to the living kitchen. This architectural feature creates a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living. Large windows and a beautiful skylight allow natural light to flood the space, providing panoramic views of the garden from the kitchen. The luxury matte black kitchen, installed in 2018, is equipped with high-quality appliances. These include a Boretti induction hob featuring an extra wide oven measuring 90 centimeters. The kitchen offers practical conveniences such as a push-to-open system on the drawers and the dishwasher. The durable ceramic Jetstone worktop is heat and scratch resistant, making it both practical and elegant. An integrated American Samsung refrigerator completes the ensemble. Adjacent to the kitchen is a practical pantry which also houses a small cellar, providing ample storage for supplies.
A special addition to the property is the atmospheric garden room located at the rear, which was realized in 2021. This fully insulated space features a skylight and large windows, making it a delightful and light-filled area. It serves as an ideal home office, atelier, or a quiet lounge spot to fully enjoy the garden views regardless of the weather. The utility room, located adjacent to the kitchen, offers ample storage space and connections for a washing machine and dryer, along with space to hang laundry. An additional hot water connection is present here. The second toilet of the house is also located in this utility room, adding to the practicality of the layout. Above the kitchen and utility room, there is a spacious storage attic measuring approximately 15 square meters, which is accessible via a hatch in the ceiling.
The first floor of the residence comprises two bedrooms and a modern bathroom. The luxury bathroom is fitted with a freestanding bathtub, a separate rain shower, a toilet, underfloor heating, and a stylish washbasin cabinet by Villeroy and Boch. The entire floor is finished with oak lamella parquet flooring, contributing to a warm and serene atmosphere consistent with the ground floor. The attic floor presents a surprising light and open space featuring a dormer window with shutters and air conditioning. Currently, this floor is used as a spacious master bedroom, though the layout offers flexibility for other uses as well.
The outdoor spaces of the property have been laid out with great care. The backyard is a green oasis where peace and privacy are central. Due to the considerable depth of the garden, there is always a spot to be found in either the sun or the shade. A generous canopy installed in 2024 provides a wonderful place to spend long evenings outdoors, extending the living season. The garden also features a practical shed offering sufficient space for bicycles and storage. Directly adjacent to the house, there is an extra covered bicycle parking area behind the gate, where the charging point for an electric car is located. The charging cable is 12 meters long, accommodating various vehicle positions. The front garden is beautifully landscaped and faces south, with ornamental pear trees and lush planting creating an inviting and well-maintained appearance. Parking is managed via a parking permit system, for which a permit and a visitor permit are available.
In summary, this property offers a unique opportunity to live in a characteristic 1930s home that does not compromise on modern luxury or sustainability. The combination of the high-quality finishes, the practical layout with multiple living spaces, and the prime location near the station and city center makes this a distinctive family home. The extensive renovations ensure that the character of the building is preserved while providing all the comforts expected in a modern residence.
