The property is located on Nonnenveld, a quiet street situated in the lee of the bustling city center of Breda. The residence overlooks the beautiful Chassé park, while the famous Grote Markt and Chassé Theater are within easy walking distance.

The surrounding area has seen significant recent development. The former Lange Stallen buildings have been thoroughly modernized and redeveloped. Across the street, the iconic former post office building has been transformed into 129 newbuild apartments, bringing additional vitality and prestige to the neighborhood.
The property is classified with an energy label D. While this indicates that improvements could potentially be made regarding energy efficiency, the comprehensive renovations undertaken, including new double glazing, roof insulation, and a modern central heating system from 2018, have significantly improved the property's energy performance compared to its original construction year of 1927.
As the building is older than 90 years, the NVM purchase agreement will include a standard old property clause. This clause acknowledges the age of the construction and is customary for properties of this vintage.
The property is offered with full ownership status. Parking in the area is available through paid parking or a parking permit system, reflecting the urban nature of the location.
