Spacious Semi-Detached Home with Versatile Extension in Baarle-Nassau

Located in the charming village of Baarle-Nassau, this semi-detached residence at Irenestraat 9 offers a comfortable living space with notable flexibility. The property was originally constructed in 1969 and has since been expanded with a substantial extension that provides various possibilities for use. The total living area measures 184 square meters, while the plot covers 260 square meters, making this a generous family home in a peaceful yet well-connected location.

Baarle-Nassau holds a unique position as an enclaved village where the borders of Belgium and the Netherlands intersect in an intriguing pattern. Some properties in the area are partially situated in both countries. The village provides a high level of amenities including multiple supermarkets, bakeries, clothing stores, cafes, and restaurants. Educational facilities are readily available with two primary schools and one secondary school in the vicinity. Sports clubs and recreational areas such as the fishing pond known as 't Goordonk are within walking distance. For those who need to commute to larger cities, Breda, Tilburg, and 's-Hertogenbosch in the Netherlands as well as Turnhout and Antwerp in Belgium are easily accessible. Bus connections to Tilburg, Breda, and Turnhout operate regularly.

The ground floor of the property welcomes you through the front entrance into a practical hallway. This space includes a wardrobe area, a tiled toilet room equipped with a toilet and a small sink, the meter cupboard, and a built-in shoe cabinet. From the hallway, you can access the staircase leading to the first floor, the kitchen, and the living room.

The living room benefits from abundant natural light thanks to large windows on both the front and rear facades. A natural stone fireplace with a gas fire serves as a focal point for the room, creating a warm atmosphere during cooler evenings. During summer months, the sliding doors at the rear can be fully opened, effectively bringing the garden into the living space and providing a seamless indoor-outdoor experience.

The kitchen is arranged in a semi-open layout connecting to the living room. It features a straight configuration with the following appliances: a four-burner electric cooktop, a flat-screen extractor hood, a dishwasher, a refrigerator, and a combination oven and microwave. A recessed stair cupboard adjacent to the kitchen provides convenient storage space for pantry items and kitchen equipment.

One of the most distinctive features of this property is the multifunctional extension accessible from the kitchen. This addition significantly expands the usable space on the ground floor and can be adapted to suit various needs. The extension is reached through a light portal with distinctive window arrangements that provide access to both the private driveway and the rear garden.

Within the extension, you will find a second toilet room and a separate utility room for laundry appliances. Three additional rooms are located in this wing. The rearmost room has been fitted with a shower and a vanity unit with sink, making it suitable as a bedroom for ground-floor living or as a guest room with en-suite facilities. Another room in the extension includes built-in wardrobes and a sink. The third room offers additional flexible space. A separate electrical distribution board serves this section of the house, allowing for independent control of power in the extension.

The first floor contains three spacious bedrooms, all finished with laminate flooring. The front bedroom features a balcony, providing outdoor space on this level. At the rear, two additional bedrooms are situated, with one offering direct access to the flat roof surface. The fully tiled bathroom on this floor is equipped with a shower, a wall-hung toilet, a designer radiator, and a double vanity unit with sink.

A fixed staircase leads to the second floor. The front attic space houses the central heating boiler installation and offers substantial storage capacity behind the knee walls. The fourth bedroom on this level is notably spacious due to the presence of a dormer window, which adds both headroom and natural light. Practical storage compartments have been incorporated to make efficient use of the available space.

The rear garden has been designed with functionality in mind. Two separate terrace areas allow you to follow the sun or seek shade throughout the day, depending on your preference. The current garden layout includes a lawn area with relatively modest planting, resulting in a low-maintenance outdoor space. This also presents an opportunity for the new owner to personalize the garden according to their own tastes by adding borders, decorative pots, or other landscaping elements.

At the front of the property, a private driveway provides parking space for at least one vehicle directly at the door, eliminating the need to search for on-street parking.

Regarding the technical aspects of the property, the energy label is rated C. The windows feature a combination of wooden and plastic frames, with double glazing throughout, some of which is HR++ grade. Some windows are fitted with electric shutters. The ground floor and first floor have concrete floors, while the second floor has a wooden floor structure. The central heating system consists of an Atag gas-fired combination boiler from 2009, which is included in the sale. The roof is a pitched roof covered with tiles.

The property is situated in a child-friendly neighborhood with schools, sports facilities, and shops in close proximity. The garden faces northwest.

It should be noted that the seller has not occupied the property in recent years. Standard clauses applicable to older properties will be included in the purchase agreement, including an asbestos clause acknowledging the potential presence of asbestos-containing materials given the construction date prior to July 1993, and an age clause recognizing that construction quality expectations for properties over 55 years old differ from those for new builds.

The property has been measured in accordance with the NEN2580 measurement instruction, which aims to provide a standardized method for indicating usable surface areas and volume. Minor differences in measurement outcomes may occur due to interpretation differences, rounding, or limitations during the measurement process. The guiding principle remains that what you see is what you buy.

Transfer of the property is by mutual agreement regarding the timing.
