Description
Located on Pater Ruttenstraat in the city of Tilburg this residence offers a practical position within a lively neighbourhood that is popular with families and first home buyers. The street is calm yet close to primary schools, local shops and main road connections. Daily routines such as school runs, grocery trips and commuting are therefore convenient. The surrounding area also provides several playgrounds and green spaces that add to the child friendly atmosphere.
The building was constructed in the year 1955 and represents a typical mid century Dutch family home. It is positioned between two other houses which gives it the character of a terraced dwelling. The plot measures 137 square metres and is laid out with a neat front garden and a rear garden that receives ample sunlight throughout the day. The garden area is approximately 41 square metres and is accessed from both the living room and the kitchen via a side door. The space is large enough for a patio set, a small lawn and a play structure for children. The orientation to the west means the garden enjoys a warm afternoon light.
Inside the ground floor the first impression is created by a generous living area. Large windows dominate the front wall and allow natural light to fill the room. The floor is finished with a contemporary PVC surface that is easy to maintain. The colour scheme is neutral which makes it easy to adapt to personal taste. The layout of the room follows a traditional plan with a clear separation between the sitting area and the dining zone. The dining table can be placed close to the kitchen doorway which facilitates serving meals.
The kitchen is situated at the rear of the house and was modernised in 2022. It features a sleek design with integrated appliances, ample cupboard space and a work top that is suitable for daily cooking tasks. A window above the sink provides a view of the garden and allows supervision of children playing outside while meals are prepared. The kitchen is equipped with a built‑in oven, a hob, a refrigerator and a dishwasher, all of which were installed during the recent renovation.
A staircase leads to the upper level where two bedrooms are located. Both rooms are of a practical size and have been kept in good condition. The larger of the two can serve as a master bedroom while the smaller is suitable for a child or as a home office. The rooms are finished with a light paint colour and have fitted wardrobes that provide storage. The layout permits the addition of a third bedroom if the owners wish to convert part of the living space or use the attic area, which is currently accessible.
The family bathroom is compact but functional. It was also refreshed in 2022 and includes modern tiling, a shower stall, a wash basin and a toilet. The fixtures are contemporary and the overall appearance is clean and tidy. An additional separate toilet is available on the ground floor, adding convenience for guests.
Beyond the main living spaces the property offers extra storage solutions. A detached stone shed provides space for bicycles, gardening tools and seasonal items. There is also an external storage room of about 14 square metres that can be used for larger items. The property is fully owned and the land registration confirms full ownership of the 137 square metre plot.
Energy performance is indicated by an energy label of C. The house benefits from double glazed windows with a high performance coating and has floor insulation. Heating is supplied by a gas powered central heating system that also provides domestic hot water. These features contribute to reasonable running costs and a comfortable indoor climate.
Recent updates include a new kitchen and a refreshed bathroom, both completed in 2022. The interior finishes such as doors, flooring and paint have been maintained to a high standard, giving the home an overall sense of being ready for immediate occupation. The property is described as well maintained and the owners have taken care to keep the exterior façade, roof tiles and gutters in good condition.
Potential buyers will find the combination of a sizable garden, a functional interior layout and a location close to amenities appealing. The possibility of adding a third bedroom either by adapting the attic space or by reconfiguring the ground floor layout provides flexibility for growing families. The neighbourhood’s reputation for safety and community makes it suitable for children and for those seeking a stable residential environment.
In summary the house offers 96 square metres of living space distributed over two floors, a garden of 41 square metres, modern kitchen and bathroom installations, energy efficient features and ample storage. The price of €337,500 is presented as a purchase price that includes transfer costs. The listing is currently active and the property is ready for viewings.
