Renovated Corner Home with Extended Kitchen in Prime Ginneken Location
Key Features
Upsides
- Prime Ginneken location near the Mastbos forest, schools, shops, and the charming Ginnekenmarkt with restaurants and terraces, offering an excellent balance of nature and urban amenities.
- Recently modernized with a 2023 extended kitchen featuring luxury composite countertops and high-end built-in appliances including a steam oven and integrated extraction system.
- Five full bedrooms all equipped with air conditioning, providing comfortable living spaces for families, along with an additional room suitable as a study or guest room.
- Energy-conscious features including 14 solar panels and HR++ glazing that help reduce energy costs despite the 1938 construction year.
- Southwest-facing backyard of 156 square meters with multiple terraces, landscaped borders, and an automatic irrigation system for low-maintenance outdoor enjoyment.
Downsides
- Energy label C indicates moderate energy efficiency, which is relatively low for a recently renovated property and may result in higher energy costs compared to modern labels A or B.
- Central heating boiler from 2013 is over a decade old and may need replacement in the coming years, representing a potential significant expense for the new owner.
- Single bathroom for five to six bedrooms creates potential bottlenecks during morning routines for larger families, as there is only one shower and one bathtub available.
- High price per square meter at approximately 6,607 euros places this property in a premium segment, which may limit the potential buyer pool and resale flexibility.
- Old age clause applies due to the 1938 construction year, which provides less protection for buyers regarding potential hidden defects compared to newer properties.
Description
This corner residence is situated on one of the most attractive locations in the southern part of Breda, specifically in the popular Ginneken neighborhood. The property features a private driveway, a well-maintained front garden, a sunny southwest-facing backyard, and a separate storage building. The home has undergone significant renovations and modernizations in recent years, resulting in a comfortable and contemporary living space that still retains elements of its original character from 1938.
The ground floor welcomes visitors through a characteristic front door leading into a portal area. The original draft door immediately references the authentic charm of the residence. From the hallway, there is access to the living room, a toilet room, and the staircase to the first floor. The spacious L-shaped living room serves as the cozy center of the home. A stylish herringbone floor, an atmospheric open fireplace, and large window sections create a warm and inviting atmosphere. The sliding doors to the backyard and the open connection to the kitchen ensure that indoor and outdoor living, as well as cooking and relaxing, blend seamlessly together.
At the rear of the property is the kitchen, which was realized in 2023. This modern kitchen is arranged in a practical corner layout and finished with a luxury composite worktop in a marble look. The kitchen is equipped with high-quality built-in appliances, including a ceramic cooktop with integrated extraction, a combination hot air oven, a steam oven, a dishwasher, a refrigerator, and a freezer. This space is designed for enjoyable cooking, dining, and gathering with family and friends.
The first floor features a spacious landing that provides access to three bedrooms, a separate toilet room, and the bathroom. The first bedroom is the generous master bedroom located at the front of the property. This room has practical fixed closet space and offers access to a balcony facing northeast. The second bedroom is situated at the rear and benefits from two built-in closets, providing ample storage space. The third bedroom, also located at the rear, is well-suited as a children's room, home office, or guest room. The spacious bathroom is fully equipped with a bathtub, a double sink, and a generous walk-in shower with a rain showerhead.
The second floor, or attic level, offers surprisingly ample space. From the landing, there is access to two full bedrooms, each with a skylight, a practical laundry room, and a separate room that is well-suited as a study or guest room. The fourth bedroom is located at the front and benefits from the skylight, making it a bright and pleasant room. The fifth bedroom is situated at the rear and also has a skylight, ensuring this space feels pleasantly light and spacious as well. The laundry room is practically arranged with connections for a washing machine and dryer. Additionally, the Nefit central heating boiler from 2013 is located here, and there is access to the study or guest room.
From the kitchen, there is access to a practical basement with standing height, which provides ideal additional storage space. The well-maintained front garden includes a private driveway with parking space. The former garage has been partially transformed into a practical storage building and is equipped with fixed closet space, electricity, and insulation, making this space suitable for various purposes.
The sunny backyard, accessible via a rear path, is favorably oriented to the southwest, allowing residents to fully enjoy the afternoon and evening sun. The garden has been attractively designed with multiple terraces, beautifully laid out borders, and an automatic irrigation system.
The property includes several notable features. All five bedrooms are equipped with air conditioning. The home has fourteen solar panels installed. The windows feature HR++ glazing for improved insulation. There is a mechanical ventilation system and an alarm system present. Heating is provided by the gas-fired central heating boiler and supplemented by a wood stove in the living room. Partial underfloor heating is also available.
The location is described as ideal. The immediate surroundings include the Mastbos forest, various primary and secondary schools, shops, sports facilities, and the pleasant Ginnekenmarkt with its restaurants and terraces. Important access roads are quickly reachable, providing excellent connections to both the city center and surrounding towns.
The property has an energy label C. The building dates from 1938, which means the general old age clause will be included in the NVM purchase agreement. The asking price is stated as 1,295,000 euros buyer's costs, which translates to approximately 6,607 euros per square meter of living space. The cadastral designation is GINNEKEN I 5461, with a plot area of 316 square meters under full ownership.
The transaction will be conducted using an NVM model purchase agreement. As security, a bank guarantee or deposit of 10 percent is standardly included in the purchase agreement. Acceptance is in consultation, and the property is currently available on the market.
