Description
This charming corner house from 1926 is located in the city of Tilburg and has been extensively renovated between 2024 and 2026, making it completely move-in ready without any need for additional work or renovations. The property successfully combines the authentic character of a 1920s residence with modern comfort and contemporary finishes throughout.
The location of this property is particularly advantageous. It is situated within walking and short cycling distance of both the Spoorzone and the vibrant center of Tilburg. The city center offers a wide variety of shops, restaurants, sports facilities, museums, and entertainment options. The Spoorzone area itself has become a popular destination with its cozy eateries, trendy cafes, and various activities. The home provides the benefit of being centrally located without being directly in the busiest areas, offering a good balance between accessibility and tranquility.
For outdoor activities and recreation, the Spoorpark is just a stone's throw away, offering pleasant walking paths and running routes for the more athletic residents. Daily groceries can be obtained without needing a car or bicycle, as the AH XL supermarket is literally around the corner, sharing a building with an Action, Gall & Gall, and Etos store. Multiple schools for children of all ages can be found in the immediate vicinity, making this location practical for families as well.
Despite Tilburg offering plenty of entertainment and amenities, the property provides easy access to highways leading to other Brabant cities and towns. The Central Station is also just a few minutes by bicycle, making this an excellent location for commuters.
Moving to the interior layout, the ground floor features an entrance hall with a renewed electrical panel, storage closets, and access to the living room. This space is wonderfully bright and features a beautiful wooden floor that has recently been sanded and refinished with oil and hard wax. The walls and ceilings have been neatly plastered and finished to a high standard, while the opening to the kitchen creates a pleasant and open connection between the two spaces.
The kitchen was completely renewed in 2025 and features a high-quality Bruynzeel setup with Smeg built-in appliances. The appliance package includes a refrigerator, freezer, oven, dishwasher, extractor hood, and a five-burner gas hob. The wide sink, pharmacy cabinet, and high-quality finish make this a kitchen where functionality and appearance blend perfectly. This is a space designed for both cooking enthusiasts and those who appreciate aesthetic quality.
In the extension of the kitchen is an intermediate hallway, where a tidy toilet room, the connections for washing appliances, and the door to the garden can be found. The playful tile floor in this area adds a nice decorative touch while being practical for a transition space between the interior and the garden.
The first floor is accessed via a renovated staircase that also provides useful storage space. The landing gives access to two well-appointed bedrooms and the bathroom. The largest room on this floor spans the full width at the front of the property and can, thanks to its neat finish, practical storage corner that could serve as a makeup table or be easily converted to extra closet space, and abundance of light and space, serve excellently as a master bedroom. The second bedroom is equally well-finished. Both bedrooms feature double glazing and a new parquet floor. Should the new owner not need all the bedrooms, these rooms could naturally be transformed for other purposes such as a home office, study, or walk-in closet.
The bathroom is a notable feature of this property, having been completely renewed with a new layout, modern sanitary ware, a walk-in shower, and a toilet. Special details include the mosaic marble floor and the custom vanity made from antique Belgian bluestone, created by Het Achterhuis in Udenhout. This combination of luxury, craftsmanship, and character gives the bathroom a distinctive appearance that sets it apart from standard renovations.
The second floor is accessed via a renewed pull-down staircase leading to a storage attic housing the central heating boiler from 2017. This space is ideal for additional storage of seasonal items, luggage, and other belongings that are not needed on a daily basis.
The low-maintenance city garden can be entered through the door in the intermediate hallway. Due to the orientation of the house, the sun shines in the garden throughout the day, making it possible to create a pleasant lounge and dining area. The garden measures 22 square meters with dimensions of 4.30 meters deep and 4.20 meters wide, providing enough space for outdoor seating and some potted plants or small garden features.
A particular highlight of the outdoor space is the large outbuilding at the back of the garden, which offers versatile usage options. This outbuilding is partially insulated and divided into a storage area and a separate office space. There is also a large attic above the outbuilding for additional storage. Thanks to the air conditioning installed in 2021, this space can be both cooled and heated, making it excellently suitable as a home workplace, hobby room, art studio, or guest accommodation. The presence of electricity in the outbuilding adds to its practicality.
Technical details worth noting include that the property received cavity wall insulation in 2024, the roof was completely renewed and insulated in 2024, and the interior was extensively renovated in 2025. All walls and ceilings have been replastered and finished, a new Bruynzeel kitchen with Smeg built-in appliances was installed, and a luxury bathroom with a custom vanity of antique Belgian bluestone was created. The parquet floor on the upper floor is new, the pull-down staircase to the attic has been renewed, and the wooden floor in the living room and kitchen has been refinished with oil and hard wax. The staircase has been renovated and provided with storage space. All switches, sockets, door handles, and LED recessed spots have been renewed throughout the property. The exterior window frames and exterior doors were painted in 2026, completing the comprehensive renovation program.
The property has an energy label C, which reflects the improvements made to insulation while acknowledging the inherent limitations of a building from 1926. The central heating system is an Intergas gas-fired combination boiler from 2017, which is owned by the property and therefore transfers to the new owner.
The plot size is 101 square meters, consisting of two parcels. The main property has a living area of 72 square meters and additional external storage of 19 square meters in the outbuilding. There is also 3 square meters of other indoor space. The total volume of the property is 266 cubic meters. The property consists of two living levels and an attic accessible via pull-down stairs. Exterior features include sun blinds, a French balcony, and natural ventilation.
Parking in the area requires a permit and is subject to paid parking regulations. However, the central location with excellent public transport connections and proximity to daily amenities makes car ownership less essential for many residents. A garage is not currently present on the property, though the listing notes that adding one might be possible.
In summary, this 1920s corner house offers a combination of period character and modern living comfort. The comprehensive renovations completed between 2024 and 2026 mean that the new owner can move in immediately and start enjoying the property without any pending renovation projects. The location near the Spoorzone and city center of Tilburg, combined with the versatile outbuilding and quality finishes throughout, makes this a practical option for buyers seeking a character home in a convenient urban location.
