Characterful Townhouse with Sauna and City Garden in Historic Tholen Center

This distinctive terraced house is situated on Hoogstraat in the historic city center of Tholen, a protected cityscape that adds to the character of the area. Built in 1899, the property presents a classic facade that conceals a surprisingly spacious interior measuring 129 square meters of living space. The total plot size is 133 square meters, and the property also benefits from a practical cellar of approximately 17 square meters.

Upon entering the property through the front door, you are welcomed into a hallway that immediately sets the tone for the rest of the home. The entrance features a marble floor that adds a touch of elegance and suggests the quality found throughout. The meter cupboard is located here, containing six circuit groups, three earth leakage switches, and power connections specifically installed for the sauna and stove. Smart meters have also been fitted. From the hallway, there is access to the staircase leading to the first floor, a hatch providing entry to the cellar, and doors leading to both the living room and the kitchen.

The cellar spans approximately 17 square meters and is accessible via the hatch in the hallway. This space houses the central heating combi boiler, a Nefit Trendline model from 2017 which is included in the sale. The cellar offers substantial additional storage space and could serve various practical purposes.

The living room is generously proportioned and divided into a front and rear section, a layout typical of traditional Dutch townhouses. High windows and ceilings create an airy atmosphere, while ornamental plasterwork and decorative moldings add period character. The floor is finished with solid oak herringbone parquet, providing warmth and a classic appearance. Natural light floods the space through the tall windows, and at the rear, French doors open directly onto the garden, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living.

The kitchen is situated in a separate room adjacent to the living room. It features a corner layout with a rural character. The kitchen is well equipped with a freestanding six-burner stainless steel stove with oven, a matching stainless steel extractor hood, a dishwasher, and a Quooker instant boiling water tap. The work surface is made of granite, adding both durability and an attractive appearance. From the kitchen, you can access both the garden and the utility room.

The utility room is a practical space that houses the modern toilet with a wall-hung toilet and small washbasin. There is also space for a washing machine and dryer, keeping these appliances conveniently out of sight yet easily accessible.

The first floor is reached via the staircase from the hallway. The landing here has varying floor levels, which creates an interesting and characteristic effect. From the landing, there are doors to three bedrooms, the bathroom, a built-in cupboard, and a hatch providing access to the attic storage space. Both the landing and the bedrooms feature attractive oak flooring.

Two of the bedrooms are located at the front of the property, while the third, currently used as the master bedroom, is situated at the rear and includes built-in wardrobes for additional storage. All three bedrooms feature authentic internal wooden shutters, a detail that enhances the period character of the home.

The bathroom is located at the rear of the first floor and features a skylight that introduces natural light into the space. The bathroom is comprehensively equipped with a walk-in shower, a bathtub, a sauna, a second toilet with wall-hung installation, a washbasin with vanity unit, a designer radiator, and underfloor heating. This combination of features makes the bathroom a genuine space for relaxation.

A separate ladder provides access to the attic storage space, which offers useful additional storage for items that are not needed on a daily basis.

The garden is positioned to the southwest, ensuring plenty of sunlight throughout the day and evening. The outdoor space is fully enclosed, providing privacy. The main terrace area measures approximately 5.68 by 4.42 meters and is laid with attractive decorative paving. Steps lead down to a lower section of the garden where evergreen pleached trees have been planted, creating a green and sheltered environment in the heart of the city.

The property benefits from double glazing, HR glass, and wall insulation. Heating is provided by the gas-fired combi boiler with partial underfloor heating in the bathroom. The energy label is E, and prospective buyers are advised to consult their mortgage advisor regarding potential additional borrowing options available for energy-efficient improvements.

The location is particularly convenient, with the harbor, restaurants, and shops all within walking distance. Public parking is available in the vicinity. The property is offered at 425,000 euros costs to the buyer, which translates to approximately 3,295 euros per square meter of living space. The transfer is available by agreement, with a short-term move possible. The listing is managed by Mark Makelaardij, representing the seller's interests.
