Characteristic Corner Home with Flexible Living Spaces in Central Eindhoven
Key Features
Upsides
- Central location in Eindhoven near Strijp-S, with daily amenities such as supermarket, schools, and healthcare within short distance
- Flexible layout across three living levels, each with its own character and function, including almost self-contained upper floors with kitchen and bathroom facilities
- Characteristic corner house with distinctive brick facade and high roof from 1930, offering a unique appearance in the street
- Multiple outdoor spaces including a sheltered city garden with back entrance and a roof terrace at the rear
- Reasonable energy efficiency for a 1930s property with energy label C, roof insulation, wall insulation, and mostly double glazing
Downsides
- Small plot size of 101 square meters with a relatively modest back garden of 30 square meters facing northeast, resulting in limited sunlight
- Public parking only, which may be challenging in a central urban location
- Built in 1930, which may involve hidden maintenance needs despite visible updates to insulation and glazing
- Three bathrooms for a 105 square meter property with three bedrooms suggests a fragmented layout that may reduce usable living space
- Price per square meter of 3,190 euros is relatively high for a property of this age and size in this location
Description
Living at Morsestraat 1 means residing in a central location within Eindhoven, offering the convenience of the city nearby while maintaining a quiet residential street as your home base. Daily amenities are pleasantly within reach: a supermarket, primary schools, a general practitioner, a pharmacy, and childcare facilities are all located at a short distance. Additionally, Eindhoven Strijp-S station and the vibrant Strijp-S area, with its restaurants and shops, are easily accessible.
On the exterior, the characteristic appearance is immediately noticeable. The high roof, brick facade, and corner position give the property a distinctive presence in the street. You enter through the hallway, which provides access to the toilet, the staircase, and the living room.
The living room extends along the length of the property and feels light and spacious. Here you can envision a comfortable seating area where you can relax after a workday and enjoy the tranquility of the home. The open connection with the dining area ensures that living, dining, and socializing flow together in a natural way.
The dining area offers plenty of possibilities: a large dining table for long evenings with friends, a quiet home workspace, or a pleasant spot where the day begins with coffee. The kitchen connects practically to this area and provides access to the sheltered city garden or patio. This outdoor space is ideal for a morning coffee, a small seating area, potted plants, or drinks at the end of the day. Thanks to the back entrance, the garden is also practical in use.
On the first floor, you reach the landing where the layout is surprisingly versatile. At the rear, there is a light living space with a kitchen unit and access to the roof terrace. This makes the floor suitable for various living wishes: a place for an older child, a home office, a hobby room, or an additional sitting room. The roof terrace gives this floor something extra; here you can sit quietly outside with a view over the surrounding properties.
Also on this floor, you will find a bedroom at the front and a bathroom with a shower, toilet, and sink. The bedroom is pleasantly situated and can serve as a main bedroom, guest room, or workspace.
The second floor surprises with the open space under the roof. Here too, a kitchen unit is present, as well as its own bathroom with a shower, toilet, and sink. As a result, this living level feels almost self-contained and offers numerous possibilities: a spacious sleeping floor, a studio-like space, an artist's studio, a home workplace, or a comfortable place for guests.
Morsestraat 1 is a property with space and possibilities. A house that you can use as it is, but in which you also see plenty of opportunities to make it entirely to your own taste.
The property is a corner house built in 1930, featuring a gable roof covered with tiles. The total living area measures 105 square meters, with an additional 9 square meters of outdoor space attached to the building. The plot covers 101 square meters, and the building has a volume of 389 cubic meters.
The layout consists of 4 rooms in total, including 3 bedrooms. There are 3 bathrooms and 1 separate toilet in the property. The bathroom facilities include 3 showers, 3 sinks, and 2 toilets. The property spans 3 living levels, providing the flexibility described in the layout above.
In terms of energy efficiency, the property has an energy label C. Insulation measures include roof insulation, mostly double glazing, and wall insulation. Heating and hot water are provided by a CV combi boiler, specifically an HR-107 gas-fired boiler that is owned by the property.
The outdoor space includes both a front and back garden. The back garden measures 30 square meters, with dimensions of 6.60 meters in depth and 4.50 meters in width. The garden is situated on the northeast side. Additionally, there is a roof terrace at the rear of the property.
For storage, there is a freestanding stone shed on the property. Parking is available on public roads in the area.
The cadastral designation is WOENSEL G 547, with full ownership. The property is available and offered at a price of 335,000 euros, which translates to approximately 3,190 euros per square meter of living space. The transfer is to be negotiated.
The combination of the central location near Strijp-S and the city center, the characteristic appearance of the corner house, and the flexible layout across three levels makes this property suitable for various types of residents. Whether you are looking for a family home, a home with workspace possibilities, or a property with potential for multi-generational living, Morsestraat 1 offers the space and configuration to accommodate different lifestyles.
The proximity to daily amenities such as a supermarket, schools, and healthcare facilities adds to the practical livability of the location. At the same time, the connection to Strijp-S station and the vibrant Strijp-S area provides access to the broader urban offerings of Eindhoven.
The property has been updated with modern insulation while retaining its characteristic 1930s exterior features. The high roof creates additional usable space on the upper floor, which has been equipped with its own kitchen and bathroom facilities to create an almost independent living unit within the home.
Each of the three living levels offers its own character and function, from the traditional ground floor living space with garden access, to the first floor with its additional living area and roof terrace, to the open second floor under the roof with its studio-like qualities.
The sheltered city garden at the rear provides a private outdoor space despite the central location, while the roof terrace offers an elevated outdoor experience with views over the neighborhood. Both outdoor spaces contribute to the living quality of the property.
Viewing the property is recommended to fully appreciate the spatial qualities and the possibilities that the different living levels offer. Walking through the various floors allows potential buyers to envision how they might arrange and use the spaces according to their own needs and preferences.
