Hidden Gem: Spacious Detached Family Home with Stunning Park Views
Key Features
Upsides
- Exceptional large garden measuring 349 square meters with southwest exposure, offering abundant privacy through mature trees and greenery while maintaining a park view.
- Spacious detached house with 177 square meters of living area across three floors, featuring four generous bedrooms, a large bathroom with wellness potential, and practical storage spaces including a garage with attic.
- Prime location combining peaceful residential living with excellent urban amenities, as shops, healthcare facilities, schools, and public transport are all within walking distance, while the city center and highway are quickly accessible.
- The property offers modernization potential for buyers who wish to personalize the home, along with already installed practical features such as underfloor heating, a 2015 Intergas boiler, and electrical preparation for future upgrades like heat pumps and solar panels.
- Strong outdoor functionality with a driveway accommodating two to three cars, an attached heated garage, two garden terraces, a garden shed, and rear garden access via a back entrance.
Downsides
- Energy label C indicates relatively higher energy costs and the need for potential improvements to reach more modern efficiency standards, though the listing does offer a sustainability report upon request.
- The property requires complete modernization throughout, as the kitchen and bathroom, while functional, reflect the 1981 build year and will need updating to contemporary standards and personal preferences.
- Only one bathroom is present in the house, which may prove insufficient for larger families during morning routines despite the generous bathroom dimensions.
- The garage accommodates only a single car, which might be limiting for households with multiple vehicles, although the driveway provides additional off street parking for two to three cars.
- Partial double glazing means some windows still have single pane glass, potentially affecting insulation and comfort levels in certain areas of the house.
Description
This generously sized detached family home, built in 1981, offers an exceptional combination of space, privacy, and a prime location in the city of Oss. Situated on a spacious plot of 639 square meters, this property presents a unique opportunity for those seeking a home with room to grow and the freedom to modernize according to their personal taste.
The house features a total living area of 177 square meters spread across three floors, providing ample space for a family. Upon entering through the front door, you arrive in a spacious entrance hall complete with a cloakroom area and a separate toilet with a small sink. From here, you have direct access to the main living spaces.
The ground floor boasts a large living room that serves as the heart of the home. This inviting space features a charming fireplace that creates a cozy atmosphere during cooler months. The living room is characterized by its expansive windows that flood the room with natural light, and a sliding door provides easy access to the rear garden. The combination of the green surroundings and the park view from the windows creates a sense of tranquility while maintaining privacy thanks to the mature trees and lush greenery that surround the property.
Adjacent to the living room is the kitchen, designed as a true family kitchen with plenty of space and possibilities. The L-shaped kitchen counter comes equipped with essential appliances including an oven, dishwasher, refrigerator, gas cooktop, and range hood. From the kitchen, you can enjoy pleasant views of the garden, making meal preparation a enjoyable experience. A practical utility room is conveniently located next to the kitchen, offering extensive storage space for dishes, pantry items, and household supplies. This utility room also houses the connections for washing machines and other white goods, keeping the main living areas organized and clutter free.
Both the living room and kitchen benefit from underfloor heating, providing comfortable warmth throughout the ground floor during the winter months. From the utility room, you have interior access to the garage, which is a significant practical feature for daily life.
The garage is an attached, heated space large enough for one car. Above the garage, there is a fully accessible storage attic, offering additional space for boxes, seasonal items, or anything else requiring a dry, secure storage area. The garage can also be accessed from the garden and the driveway, providing multiple convenient entry points.
The first floor accommodates three generously sized bedrooms, each equipped with a sink. The master bedroom is particularly noteworthy, featuring three deep built-in wardrobes that provide exceptional storage for clothing and personal items. The bathroom on this floor is spacious and offers tremendous potential. Currently, it is equipped with a bathtub, toilet, shower, and sink. Given the generous dimensions, there is easily enough space to create a wellness area, potentially even including a sauna, should the new owner desire such an addition.
A fixed staircase leads to the second floor, where you will find the fourth bedroom. This room also includes a sink and is versatile enough to serve as a bedroom, home office, or hobby room. The second floor additionally features an extra storage room and practical storage space behind the knee walls that run the entire length of the floor, ensuring that storage is never in short supply in this home.
The outdoor space of this property is truly exceptional for a home located within the city center. The rear garden measures approximately 349 square meters, with dimensions of about 22.46 meters in depth and 15.52 meters in width. The garden faces southwest, meaning it receives abundant sunlight throughout the day, perfect for those who enjoy outdoor living and entertaining. The garden features two terraces: one directly adjacent to the house suitable for a comfortable garden set, and another terrace located at the far end of the garden for more private relaxation. Due to the garden's size and thoughtful landscaping with mature trees and abundant greenery, there is always a spot available with either sun or shade, depending on your preference.
Privacy is one of the standout features of this garden. The mature high trees and lush vegetation create a natural screen, making you feel as though you are living in the middle of nature, despite being within the city. In the winter months, squirrels frequently visit the garden, adding to the charming natural atmosphere. A practical wooden garden shed provides storage for bicycles and garden tools, completing the outdoor functionality.
The front of the property features a driveway with space for two to three cars, eliminating parking concerns for households with multiple vehicles.
In terms of energy and sustainability, the property has an energy label C. The house is equipped with roof insulation, partial double glazing, wall insulation, and floor insulation. The central heating system consists of an Intergas combination boiler from 2015, which is owned rather than rented. The electrical panel in the meter cupboard has been recently upgraded and already includes preparation for a three phase electrical connection. This connection has already been applied for with Enexis, meaning a new owner can quickly be connected to future proof utilities such as heat pumps, solar panels, or an electric car charging station.
The location of this property strikes an ideal balance between peaceful living and urban convenience. The house is situated in a quiet residential neighborhood with views of a lush green park. Despite the serene environment, all essential amenities are within walking or cycling distance, including a shopping center, doctor's office, pharmacy, and primary schools. The city center of Oss, train station Oss West, and the A59 highway entrance are all easily accessible within minutes.
