Move-in Ready Terraced Home with Three Bedrooms in Best
Key Features
Upsides
- The property has been significantly modernized in recent years, including a kitchen from 2018, a bathroom from 2020, wall insulation added in 2020, and a flat roof renewed approximately four years ago.
- The location in the Hoge Akker neighborhood offers excellent accessibility, with the center of Best and the railway station within walking distance, providing direct train connections to Eindhoven, Tilburg, and s-Hertogenbosch.
- The living room features characteristic elements such as a beamed ceiling and a wood-burning stove, with chimney flues cleaned in 2021, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
- The property includes six owned solar panels installed in 2020, which can help reduce energy costs, and the central heating boiler is also owned rather than rented.
- The rear extension of the living room provides additional living space, and the presence of a freestanding stone storage shed with electricity adds practical storage capacity.
Downsides
- The energy label is D, which indicates limited energy efficiency, and the HR++ glazing is not present throughout the entire property, meaning some windows likely have older single or double glazing.
- The attic space on the second floor still requires attention regarding its finishing, which means additional time and expense may be needed to complete this area to the new owner's standards.
- Part of the canopy in the backyard needs to be replaced, presenting an additional project and cost for the new owner.
- The backyard faces northeast, which typically receives less direct sunlight compared to south or west-facing gardens.
- Parking is only available on public roads, as there is no private parking space or garage associated with the property.
Description
This terraced house, originally built in 1962, is situated in the popular Hoge Akker neighborhood in the municipality of Best. The property has been modernized at various points over the years and is currently offered in move-in ready condition. With a living area of 95 square meters, a built-on outdoor space of 16 square meters, and a total plot size of 155 square meters, this home provides a practical layout for a family or couple looking for a comfortable residence with good connections to surrounding cities.
The ground floor layout begins with an entrance hall featuring a PVC floor that continues into the living room. From the hall, residents have direct access to the meter cupboard, a storage closet under the stairs, and a separate toilet room. The living room itself has been extended at the rear, which adds valuable extra floor space to the main living area. A notable feature of this room is the beamed ceiling combined with a wood-burning stove, which creates a warm and characteristic atmosphere. The chimney flues were professionally cleaned in 2021, ensuring the stove can be used safely. The living room offers sufficient space for both a comfortable seating area and a large dining table. A door at the back provides direct access to the canopy and the garden.
The kitchen, installed in 2018, serves as a prominent feature within the living room. It is equipped with a five-burner gas hob with an extractor hood, a combination oven, a dishwasher, and a refrigerator-freezer combination. These appliances and the modern design of the kitchen contribute to the overall updated feel of the ground floor.
The first floor is accessed via the staircase from the hall. The landing provides access to two bedrooms, a laundry room, and the bathroom. The bedroom at the front of the property is spacious in its layout, while the bedroom at the rear is also well-proportioned. The bathroom was renovated in 2020 and is arranged in a practical manner, featuring a shower, a vanity unit, and a designer radiator.
The second floor houses the third bedroom, which benefits from a dormer window that brings in additional natural light and creates more headroom. On the landing of this floor, you will find the connections for the washing machine and the location of the central heating boiler. The boiler is a Remeha model and is included in the purchase as owned property. The listing notes that the attic space still requires some attention regarding its finishing, which presents an opportunity for the new owner to customize this area according to their preferences.
The outdoor space consists of a backyard facing northeast, laid out in a low-maintenance manner with a lawn and paving. The canopy provides a covered outdoor area equipped with lighting and electrical connections. Part of this canopy still needs to be replaced, allowing the new owner to complete this according to their own taste and requirements. At the rear of the garden stands a freestanding stone storage shed with electricity. The garden is accessible via a rear path, which is a practical feature for bringing items like bicycles to the back of the property.
Several improvements have been made to the property in recent years. The flat roof was renewed approximately four years ago. In 2020, the exterior walls were insulated using Iso-Wool, and six solar panels were installed, which are owned rather than rented. The property has HR++ glazing, though this is not present throughout the entire home, indicating that some windows may still have older glazing. The current energy label is D, which reflects the partial nature of the insulation and glazing upgrades.
The Hoge Akker neighborhood is described as child-friendly, with various amenities located nearby. These include primary schools, playgrounds, shops, a library, and sports clubs. The center of Best is within walking distance, as is the Best railway station, which offers direct connections to Eindhoven, Tilburg, and s-Hertogenbosch. For car travel, the A2, A58, and A50 motorways are easily accessible. The property is connected to a fiber optic network for internet and telecommunications.
Parking at the property is available on public roads in the vicinity, as there is no private parking or garage included with the home. The asking price is 400,000 euros, which is offered on a costs buyer basis, meaning that transfer taxes and notary fees are to be paid by the purchaser in addition to this amount. The property is offered available, and the transfer date is to be agreed upon between the parties.
