Description
This characteristic pre-war terraced house, built in 1925, is located on Ringbaan Oost in Tilburg and offers a combination of authentic period features and contemporary living comfort. The property has been well maintained over the years and presents itself with a surprisingly bright and inviting atmosphere throughout. With a total living area of 132 square meters, spread over three floors, the residence provides ample space for comfortable family living.
The ground floor welcomes you through a green front garden that leads to the entrance hall. This hall features an attractive staircase to the first floor and provides access to both the living room and the kitchen area. The living room itself exudes the characteristic charm typical of pre-war architecture, enhanced by a beautiful oak wooden floor and a fireplace that serves as a natural focal point. Large windows allow for an unexpectedly pleasant amount of natural light to enter the space, creating a warm and welcoming environment.
Positioned centrally within the living area is the virtually new kitchen, which was completely renewed in 2023. This modern kitchen is fully equipped with built-in appliances, including an induction cooktop with an integrated extraction unit, a dishwasher, a refrigerator, a combination oven, and a separate oven. The layout provides generous workspace and makes this area the natural gathering point for social occasions with family and friends.
Adjacent to the kitchen, a practical utility room features a skylight that brings in additional daylight. This space houses the connections for the washing machine and dryer, as well as the central heating combi boiler. The boiler is an Intergas HRE 36/30 CW5 model, installed in 2024 and owned by the property. Also accessible from the utility room is a tidy toilet room with a small sink.
The first floor is reached via the staircase in the entrance hall and consists of a landing that provides access to two spacious bedrooms and the bathroom. Both bedrooms offer comfortable dimensions suitable for various furnishing arrangements. The bathroom, renovated in 2008, is fully equipped with a bathtub, a comfortable walk-in shower, a hanging toilet, and a double vanity unit. Underfloor heating has been installed in the bathroom, adding to the comfort level.
A fixed staircase leads to the second floor, where a landing area with two skylights offers additional storage space. This floor also provides access to the third bedroom, which again features generous proportions, built-in storage options, and two skylights that contribute to a bright and airy feel.
The outdoor space consists of both a front garden and a rear city garden. The rear garden faces west, ensuring plenty of afternoon and evening sun throughout the warmer months. A covered seating area has been constructed in the garden, allowing for outdoor enjoyment during most of the year regardless of weather conditions. The combination of privacy, favorable sun exposure, and the cozy atmosphere created by the canopy makes this outdoor area a valuable extension of the living space.
The property benefits from a strategic location that balances urban convenience with proximity to natural surroundings. The bustling center of Tilburg and the central railway station are both within easy cycling distance. For those traveling by car, the main roads leading towards Oisterwijk, Hilvarenbeek, and the green nature reserve of Moerenburg are readily accessible. The immediate neighborhood offers a variety of shops, schools, and dining establishments, contributing to a convenient daily lifestyle.
In terms of technical specifications, the property has an energy label D. Insulation measures include roof insulation, double glazing, and floor insulation. The heating and hot water are provided by the gas-fired combi boiler mentioned earlier. Additional features include fiber optic cable connection, mechanical ventilation, natural ventilation options, and a sliding door to the garden.
The cadastral designation is TILBURG B 7779, with a plot area of 176 square meters held in full ownership. Parking is available through public parking facilities in the vicinity. The total volume of the property measures 488 cubic meters.
This residence represents an opportunity for buyers seeking a home that combines the architectural character of the 1920s with practical modern updates. The recent investments in the kitchen and heating system provide peace of mind, while the location offers the advantages of both city amenities and nearby recreational areas.
