Description
This residence offers a unique opportunity to enjoy a year round vacation feel in a setting that combines water frontage, forest proximity and easy access to the city of Eindhoven. The house is situated on the edge of a lake known locally as the Gat of Waalre. The lake is partially surrounded by woods, providing a tranquil backdrop throughout the four seasons. The surrounding area is quiet and residential, with the forest just a short walk away and a paved road network that connects north and south with minimal travel time.
The property is located in the municipality of Waalre, a short distance south of Eindhoven. Major employers such as ASML, HTC and several hospitals are within a reasonable commuting distance. The city centre can be reached by bike in roughly fifteen minutes, making daily errands convenient while still preserving a sense of countryside living. Public transport links are available nearby, and the road connections allow quick trips to the wider region.
The house itself is a family oriented layout spanning three levels. The ground floor is entered primarily through the kitchen, following the customary Brabant style. The kitchen is spacious and includes a large pantry, modern appliances and direct views of the water through a covered veranda. The veranda provides a sheltered outdoor space that receives morning sunlight and offers uninterrupted views of the lake. Adjacent to the kitchen is a second entrance at the front of the house, leading to a hallway that houses the electrical meter, a coat closet and a guest toilet.
The living area on the ground floor is bright and airy, featuring two large French style doors that open onto a rear terrace and garden. The floor is finished in wood, and the walls have a tasteful paint finish. The open plan living and kitchen area creates a generous space for family gatherings and entertaining guests. Direct access to the outdoor area allows easy movement between indoor and outdoor living during warm weather.
On the first floor there are three bedrooms. The master bedroom includes its own private veranda, providing a private outdoor retreat for the occupants. The other two bedrooms share a central bathroom that is well equipped. The bathroom includes a bathtub, a walk in shower, a second wall mounted toilet and a vanity with a sink. The layout is functional and offers sufficient privacy for a family with children or for a household that requires separate work spaces.
A fixed staircase leads to the second floor where there are two to three additional rooms. One of these rooms is currently used as a home office and also has the capacity to accommodate laundry appliances or serve as a technical room. Both rooms on this level have dormer windows that bring natural light into the upper space. The larger front facing bedroom on this floor is fitted with a Velux roof window, enhancing the sense of openness and providing additional daylight.
The external area of the property is generous. The rear garden measures approximately eighty five square metres and is deep, allowing for a variety of uses. There is a substantial storage shed made of wood that can be used for bicycles, garden tools and other equipment. The garden is oriented to the south west, receiving ample sunlight in the afternoon and evening. The space is suitable for children’s play, for placing a jacuzzi or for creating a large terrace for outdoor dining. A rear access gate provides a driveway that can accommodate multiple cars, primarily intended for the immediate neighbours but also useful for guests.
Energy performance is a strong point of this house. It holds an A energy label, indicating a high level of efficiency. The building is fully insulated, including roof insulation, double glazed windows, wall insulation and floor insulation. The heating system consists of a central heating boiler combined with partial floor heating, which contributes to the low energy consumption. Domestic hot water is supplied by the same boiler, which is a gas fired combination unit installed in 2012 and owned by the current occupants.
The property sits on a plot of one hundred ninety five square metres. The built up area is one hundred forty three square metres, while the attached outdoor space adds twenty eight square metres. The total volume of the building is five hundred six cubic metres. The legal description places the house in the cadastral area WAALRE A 5427, with full ownership recorded in the land register.
Additional amenities include a broadband fiber optic connection, television cable and a balcony. The house also benefits from a garage style open parking area at the rear, and a separate storage building that is detached from the main structure. The location is described as being at the edge of a forest, adjacent to a park, on a quiet street, next to water, within a wooded environment, in a residential neighbourhood and offering a free view. These descriptors highlight the natural and peaceful setting while still being close to urban facilities.
Overall the property presents a blend of comfortable family living, proximity to nature, water frontage and convenient access to a major economic hub. The combination of a modern energy efficient building, ample indoor and outdoor space and a location that offers both tranquility and connectivity makes it a compelling option for families, remote workers or anyone seeking a balanced lifestyle.
