Spacious Sustainable Family Home with Four Bedrooms in Boxtel
Key Features
Upsides
- Energy label A+++ with comprehensive sustainable installations including solar panels, solar water heater, heat pump, and heat recovery ventilation, resulting in very low energy costs.
- Four well-proportioned bedrooms across three floors, with two larger bedrooms of approximately 17 square meters each, providing ample space for family living.
- Recent renovations to key areas including the kitchen in 2020 and bathroom in 2019, along with a sunroom added in 2019, reducing the need for immediate updates.
- Excellent connectivity with quick access to major roads leading to s-Hertogenbosch, Eindhoven, and Tilburg, combined with proximity to the center of Boxtel and local amenities.
- Comprehensive outdoor facilities including a 122 square meter southwest-facing front garden, garage, carport, covered outdoor area with outdoor kitchen, and a detached storage shed.
Downsides
- The property is a terraced house, which means less lateral privacy compared to detached or semi-detached homes, with shared walls on both sides.
- The garden is only located at the front of the property, which is less private than a rear garden and may be more visible to passersby and neighbors.
- Parking capacity is limited to one vehicle through the carport and garage combination, with additional parking relying on public spaces in the neighborhood.
- The flat roof construction, while common, may require more frequent maintenance or inspection compared to pitched roof alternatives.
- At approximately 3,793 euros per square meter, the price point is relatively high for a terraced house in Boxtel, which may limit the target buyer pool.
Description
The property at Huygensstraat 145 in Boxtel presents itself as a well-maintained family residence that was originally constructed in 2005. With a total living area of approximately 145 square meters, this home offers generous space for a family looking for comfort and functionality. The property is classified as a terraced house, which means it is situated between neighboring properties on both sides.
One of the most notable features of this residence is its exceptional energy efficiency rating. The property holds an energy label A+++, which is valid until March 2036. This high rating is achieved through a combination of sustainable installations including solar panels, a solar water heater for hot water production, and a heat recovery ventilation system. The entire home is equipped with floor heating powered by a heat pump, eliminating the need for traditional gas-based central heating for the main living spaces, though a gas fireplace is present in the living room for additional comfort and ambiance during colder months. The property is also fully insulated, contributing to the low energy costs and high living comfort.
The ground floor layout begins with an entrance hall that provides access to a cloakroom area and the meter cupboard. From the hall, one enters the main living room, which features a PVC floor with a wood motif and smoothly plastered walls in neutral tones. Large windows ensure abundant natural light enters the space, creating an airy and open atmosphere. The living room is of considerable size, allowing for various furniture arrangements. The gas fireplace serves as a focal point in the room. The living room connects to the sunroom, an intermediate hall, and the kitchen.
The kitchen was renovated in 2020 and is designed with a practical cooking island. It is equipped with an induction cooktop, extractor hood, dishwasher, sink, a Grohe Red boiling water tap, and a spacious work surface. The opposite cabinet wall houses a refrigerator, freezer, steam oven, combination microwave, built-in coffee machine, and ample storage in both upper and lower cabinets. A staircase cupboard provides additional storage space. The kitchen also provides access to the sunroom.
The sunroom was added in 2019 and serves as a valuable extension of the living space, effectively bridging the indoor and outdoor areas. With closable glass walls, this space can be utilized comfortably for a significant portion of the year.
The intermediate hall on the ground floor provides access to a modern toilet with a small sink, a technical room, and the fixed staircase leading to the first floor.
The first floor features a landing that gives access to two bedrooms and the bathroom. The first bedroom measures approximately 17 square meters and is located at the front of the property. It has a light laminate floor and a built-in closet, offering plenty of space for a complete bedroom setup. The second bedroom on this floor measures approximately 9 square meters and is currently used as a home office, though it would equally serve well as a child's room, guest room, or hobby space.
The bathroom was renovated in 2019 and is fitted with a walk-in shower, a toilet, a vanity unit, and fixed storage cabinets. The space is fully tiled with large, light-colored tiles and benefits from generous window openings that allow natural daylight to enter.
The second floor is reached via a fixed staircase and features a landing that provides access to two additional bedrooms and a technical and laundry room. The third bedroom also measures approximately 17 square meters, comparable in size to the first bedroom. It is currently furnished with a loft bed and has light wall finishes and floor covering. The fourth bedroom measures approximately 9 square meters and is similarly versatile in its potential use, currently functioning as a home office space with a light laminate floor and neutral wall finish.
The technical and laundry room is centrally located between the bedrooms on this floor. Here one finds the connections for the washing machine and dryer, as well as the inverter for the solar panels, the solar water heater, the heat recovery ventilation system, and the manifold for the floor heating system.
The outdoor space at this property is primarily oriented toward the front of the residence. The front garden measures 122 square meters with a depth of 12.04 meters and a width of 10.13 meters. It is advantageously positioned facing southwest, allowing occupants to enjoy the sun throughout the afternoon and evening. The garden has been attractively landscaped with various planted borders, a pond, and multiple terraced areas. Additionally, the property includes a garage, a covered outdoor area, and a carport. The covered area currently features an outdoor kitchen setup, making it an inviting space for outdoor entertaining during warmer months.
The property also includes a detached wooden storage shed of 19 square meters with electrical connections. Parking is available through the carport and garage combination, which can accommodate one vehicle, with additional public parking available in the vicinity.
The location of Huygensstraat 145 in Boxtel is described as ideal. The property is situated within a residential neighborhood and is within short cycling distance of the center of Boxtel. The main roads leading to s-Hertogenbosch, Eindhoven, and Tilburg are reportedly reachable within minutes. The immediate surroundings offer various playgrounds, sports clubs, and other daily amenities.
Technical specifications indicate the property has a flat roof covered with bituminous roofing material. The total volume of the property is 514 cubic meters. The property is connected to fiber optic cable and has roller shutters installed. Balanced ventilation is present throughout the home.
The asking price for this property is set at 550,000 euros, which is stated as costs for the buyer, meaning that additional costs such as transfer tax and notary fees are to be paid by the purchaser on top of this amount. This results in a price per square meter of living space of approximately 3,793 euros.
The cadastral information identifies the property as BOXTEL B 3730 with a surface area of 230 square meters and full ownership status.
The purchase agreement will be based on a standard VastgoedNederland contract with additional clauses including a notary clause, a measurement clause, and a requirement for a 10 percent deposit or bank guarantee.
This listing has been prepared with due care, though the measurements and year indications are approximate and indicative. The property has been measured according to the Meetsinstructie based on the NEN2580 standard, which aims to provide a more uniform method of measuring usable surface area, though it does not completely eliminate differences in measurement outcomes due to interpretation differences, rounding, or limitations in conducting the measurement.
