Downsides

- Only three bedrooms within 293 square meters of living space, which some buyers might consider an inefficient use of the available area.
- The asking price of 825,000 euros results in a price per square meter of 2,816 euros, which is relatively high.
- Built in 2007 means the property is approaching 20 years old, and some systems or finishes may require updating in the near future.
- The possibility of a lift is mentioned but not installed, meaning additional investment would be required if this feature is desired.
Description
This property in Schijndel presents itself as a residence with distinctive architectural features and a thoughtful layout across three living levels. The home is characterized by large glass panels that allow abundant natural light to enter the interior spaces, creating a connection between the indoor and outdoor areas.
The ground floor welcomes visitors through a covered entrance into a spacious reception hall where a modern staircase serves as a prominent visual element connecting the different levels. From the hall, there is access to a toilet, a practical utility room that also functions as storage, a spacious workspace or study room, and a garden room. This particular arrangement contributes to the versatility of the property. The workspace features a small pantry and a large sliding door leading to the patio. The adjacent garden room also has sliding doors to the outside, allowing the interior and exterior to flow together naturally. The patio has been laid out in a clean and low-maintenance manner, offering a sheltered spot for relaxation.
The first floor functions as the main living area of the home. Here, living, cooking, and gathering come together in a distinctive configuration. The spacious dining room includes a gas fireplace with a see-through design and a wide sliding door leading to a generous roof terrace. The custom kitchen has been finished to a high standard with a corner layout, a sink island, and a practical pantry cabinet. The kitchen is equipped with quality appliances including a combi-oven, a steam oven, a dishwasher, an American-style refrigerator, and a five-burner gas cooktop. The living room feels impressively spacious thanks to the high ceilings, large window panels, and an open void that connects to the level above. The abundance of glass ensures pleasant light entry and gives this floor an open atmosphere with a loft-like character.
The second floor continues the sense of space. From the generous landing, three bedrooms, the bathroom, a laundry room, and a second roof terrace can be reached. Two of the bedrooms have direct access to the terrace, allowing for a quiet start to the day with an outdoor moment. The bathroom has been finished in a clean and luxurious manner with a bathtub, a spacious walk-in shower with a rain showerhead, a double vanity unit, and a wall-mounted toilet. Additionally, there is a practical laundry room with built-in cabinet space, a pantry, laundry connections, and extra daylight thanks to a skylight.
The property has been built with attention to sustainability and future readiness. It holds an energy label A++, indicating very low energy consumption. Heating and cooling are provided by an energy-efficient ground source heat pump, and underfloor heating and cooling are present throughout virtually the entire home. A domotics system is installed for home automation, allowing control of various functions within the property.
The location offers a quiet and green living environment with privacy and limited traffic. At the same time, shops, schools, childcare facilities, and dining options are within close proximity. The center of Schijndel and the surrounding countryside are practically around the corner. The favorable position also means that routes toward Eindhoven and s-Hertogenbosch are quickly accessible.
With a living area of 293 square meters and an additional 87 square meters of building-related outdoor space including the terraces and patio, the property provides ample room for various living arrangements. The home includes three private parking spaces on the property. There is also a possibility to install a lift, which could be relevant for future accessibility needs.
The property was built in 2007 and has been finished with high-quality materials throughout. It features an alarm system, outdoor sun blinds, a fiber optic connection, mechanical ventilation, and sliding doors. The roof is flat and covered with bituminous roofing material. The building is fully insulated.
This residence may appeal to those seeking a home that differs from standard housing offerings, whether for a large family, for combining living and working under one roof, or simply for those looking for a property with a distinctive character. The combination of architectural expression, spatial layout, sustainable features, and location creates a comprehensive living proposition.
