Key Features
Description
The property is a penthouse located at Heuvel 18-C in Geldrop, situated in the vibrant centre of this Brabant village. The apartment is part of the Heuvel 18 apartment complex, which was built in 2020, and features a lift for convenient access. The penthouse offers views of the Geldrop skyline and is located on the third floor, though the listing also mentions it is on the 4th woonlaag (living layer), which might account for different counting methods regarding ground floor versus first floor.
The apartment has a total living area of 76 square meters and holds an A energy label, indicating excellent energy efficiency. The building features hard wooden window frames with HR++ glass, contributing to the energy performance. The property includes full insulation comprising roof insulation, wall insulation, and floor insulation. Heating is provided by a gas-fired combi boiler from 2020, which is owned by the current owner, and the entire apartment has underfloor heating. Hot water is also supplied by the CV boiler.
Upon entering the apartment, you step into the hall which contains the meter cupboard and a modern toilet room with a wall-hung toilet and a washbasin. The living room features an open kitchen layout, creating a spacious and cohesive living area. The living room has ample space for a large seating area and a dining table. Large windows allow plenty of natural light to enter the space, making it a pleasant living environment. The flooring throughout is laminate with underfloor heating, and the walls and ceiling are finished with plasterwork.
The open kitchen is arranged in a wall layout with a peninsula island. It is equipped with modern built-in appliances including a refrigerator, dishwasher, combi microwave, induction cooktop, and extractor hood. Like the living area, the kitchen has laminate flooring with underfloor heating and plastered walls and ceiling.
The apartment contains two bedrooms. The first bedroom measures approximately 13 square meters with dimensions of 3.17 meters by 4.10 meters. The second bedroom is approximately 11 square meters with dimensions ranging from 1.99 to 2.56 meters by 4.84 meters, and provides access to the terrace/balcony.
The balcony is a notable feature, facing west which means it will receive afternoon and evening sun. It measures approximately 15 square meters, providing a generous outdoor space for the apartment. This west orientation is particularly desirable for those who enjoy spending time outdoors in the late afternoon and evening hours.
The bathroom is modern and includes a wall-hung toilet, a sink set in furniture, and a walk-in shower. There is also a technical and laundry room that houses the CV boiler, mechanical ventilation unit, and provisions for white goods such as a washing machine and dryer. This dedicated utility space keeps these practical elements separate from the living areas.
Additionally, the property includes a storage room located on the ground floor, measuring approximately 4 square meters. This is useful for storing bicycles, garden furniture, or other items that would otherwise take up space in the apartment itself.
The apartment is located in Geldrop, which is described as an attractive Brabant village with a complete range of facilities and a favourable position relative to Eindhoven. The centre offers various shops, restaurants, and supermarkets. Schools, sports facilities, and public transport are easily accessible. Nature areas such as the Strabrechtse Heide are located a short distance away, offering a pleasant living environment with a good balance between tranquillity, greenery, and urban proximity.

The location offers excellent road connections to Eindhoven, Helmond, Venlo, and Weert, making it convenient for commuting or travelling to different destinations in the region. The Heuvel 18 complex, being built in 2020, benefits from modern construction standards and building techniques. This means that not only is the energy performance excellent with the A label, but the building also meets current requirements for sound insulation, fire safety, and accessibility.
The presence of a lift makes the third-floor location easily accessible, which is particularly beneficial for residents with mobility considerations, or simply for moving furniture and groceries. The open kitchen concept with the peninsula island is a popular contemporary layout that facilitates social interaction while cooking. The island can serve as additional preparation space, a casual dining spot, or as a visual separation between the kitchen and living areas.
The flooring choice of laminate with underfloor heating is practical and comfortable. Underfloor heating provides an even distribution of heat throughout the apartment and eliminates the need for radiators, which can take up wall space and interfere with furniture placement. The plastered walls and ceiling create a clean, modern aesthetic that is easy to maintain and allows buyers to personalise the space with their choice of colours and decorations if desired.
Geldrop is a municipality in the province of North Brabant, located directly south of Eindhoven. The Strabrechtse Heide, one of the largest nature reserves in the Netherlands, is nearby and offers extensive walking and cycling opportunities through heathland, forests, and sand drifts. This combination of urban amenities and natural surroundings contributes to the appeal of this location.
