Spacious Family Home with Extension, Garage and Four Bedrooms in Haaren
Key Features
Description
Handboogstraat 9 is situated in the village of Haaren, located in a quiet and child friendly residential area on the edge of the village center. This semi detached family home has been excellently maintained and fully modernized over the years. The property features an attached garage accessible from inside the house, a private driveway, and a backyard that offers a high degree of privacy with a favorable southwest orientation. The location is particularly suitable for families looking for a spacious and comfortable living environment, as playground facilities are literally around the corner and schools, sports clubs, nature areas and shops are all within a short distance. The connections to the nearby cities of Tilburg, Oisterwijk and s Hertogenbosch are also excellent.
What stands out immediately upon entering this property is the surprising amount of living space available. Thanks to extensions added to both the front and rear of the original structure, a generously proportioned family home has been created with a living area of approximately 126 square meters. This figure does not even include the attached garage with its additional loft space. The modern finish, practical layout and pleasant natural light contribute to a home that is essentially ready to move into without requiring any major renovation work.
Access to the property is gained via the private driveway leading to the main entrance. The hallway contains the meter cupboard, a stylishly modernized toilet room with a wall mounted toilet and small sink, the staircase to the first floor and the entrance to the generous living area. This entrance area has been finished to a good standard and provides a welcoming first impression of the quality found throughout the home.
The living room is a genuine surprise in terms of its dimensions. The extensions at both the front and rear have created an exceptionally spacious living area that offers plenty of room for a large seating area as well as a sizeable dining table. At the front, a gas fireplace provides immediate warmth and a cozy atmosphere, while the tile floor with underfloor heating contributes to the comfortable living experience. This is a living room that clearly functions as the heart of the home and provides ample space for family life and entertaining.
Positioned centrally within the home is the modern kitchen arranged in a practical L shaped layout. The kitchen is equipped with various built in appliances including an induction cooktop with a wok burner, an extractor hood, a dishwasher, a refrigerator and a combination microwave oven. From the kitchen, one proceeds to the practical utility room which contains the connections for washing appliances and provides access to the attached garage with its additional loft space. This garage is suitable for parking one car and offers excellent additional storage options, or could serve as a hobby space or bicycle storage area.
At the rear of the property there is an additional space that can function as a pleasant reading corner or dining area. Thanks to the sliding patio doors, the indoor and outdoor spaces are naturally connected here. The backyard is perfectly oriented to the southwest, allowing enjoyment of sunlight for most of the day. The garden offers a good degree of privacy and at the rear there is a gate providing access to an enclosed green area. For families with young children this is particularly valuable as it provides a safe play environment beyond the boundaries of the private garden.
The first floor contains three good sized bedrooms and an enlarged bathroom that matches the quality standard found in the rest of the house. The bathroom features a bathtub, a separate walk in shower, a second toilet and a vanity unit. This is a complete and comfortable bathroom where spatial quality is clearly a priority. The three bedrooms on this level provide flexible accommodation that can be arranged according to the needs of the household, whether as childrens bedrooms, a guest room or a home office.
A fixed staircase leads to the second floor where the landing area houses the central heating combi boiler installation. Also located on this floor is a full fourth bedroom with a dormer window. This space is ideally suited as a teenagers bedroom, a dedicated home workspace or an additional guest room. The presence of this fourth bedroom adds significant value to the property and makes it suitable for larger families.
In terms of sustainability the property performs well. It has been awarded energy label B and is equipped with twelve solar panels that contribute to reduced energy costs. The property also features shutters on the windows which provide both additional security and improved thermal insulation. Other notable features include an alarm system, mechanical ventilation, a TV connection and partial double glazing alongside wall insulation, floor insulation and roof insulation.
The property was originally built in 1988 and has a pitched roof covered with tiles. The total volume of the building is 509 cubic meters. In addition to the main living area of 126 square meters there is 17 square meters of other indoor space and 5 square meters of external storage in the form of a freestanding wooden shed. The backyard measures 90 square meters with a depth of 10 meters and a width of 9 meters. The garden is accessible via a path at the rear.
The asking price for this property is 589,500 euros costs koper, which translates to approximately 4,679 euros per square meter of living space. The property is offered with a status of available and the transfer date is to be agreed upon. The cadastral designation is HAAREN E 4029 with a total plot area of 218 square meters held in full ownership. The property is offered partially furnished.
