Spacious Monumental Townhouse in the Heart of Oosterhout Center

This monumental townhouse is situated on a particularly spacious plot in a highly sought after location right in the center of Oosterhout. The property dates back to approximately 1789 and holds the status of a municipal monument. With a living area of around 300 square meters and a plot size of 840 square meters, this residence offers exceptional space both inside and out. The house is partially in need of renovation and modernization, presenting an opportunity for a buyer to put their own stamp on this historic home while preserving its authentic character.

The ground floor layout begins with an entrance hall featuring a granito floor and the meter cupboard. From here, there is access to a room of approximately 15 square meters currently used as a home office, which could serve as a bedroom. This room has access to a simple bathroom equipped with a shower, sink, and toilet. Adjacent to this is another space with a basic kitchenette.

The central hallway, laid with tiles and featuring a daylight window, provides access to the main areas of the ground floor. The master bedroom, measuring approximately 25 square meters, is located off this hallway and comes with a built in closet and a walk in closet. This bedroom has direct access to a complete en suite bathroom fitted with a shower cabin, a full size bathtub, double sinks in a wall cabinet, and a toilet.

Also accessible from the central hallway is a modernized toilet room with a closet, urinal, and fountain. The hallway further leads to a wine cellar and an upper room of about 8 square meters. The atmospheric living room at the front of the house is designed en suite with built in cabinets, sliding doors, and two fireplaces that add character to the space.

At the rear of the property lies the closed living and dining kitchen with a tile floor and a sliding door opening to the garden. This kitchen is arranged in a corner layout and includes various appliances. From the kitchen, there is access to a storage room and a fixed cabinet space suitable for placing laundry equipment.

The first floor is reached via a fixed staircase. The landing includes a toilet room and provides access to two spacious bedrooms. A particularly noteworthy feature of this floor is the exceptionally large open attic or multifunctional space measuring approximately 91 square meters. This area has several skylights and can be arranged entirely to the new owner's preferences. This space offers the possibility to significantly increase the number of bedrooms or create an ideal home office environment.

The south facing rear garden is very generous in size, measuring 648 square meters with a depth of 36 meters and a width of 18 meters. The garden is accessible via a rear path. Parking is available on the property itself in a carport at the rear. Additionally, two parking permits can be applied for from the municipality. Access to the property at the front is via a right of way over the driveway of Rulstraat 27.

The property has an energy label C and features roof insulation and partially double glazing. Heating is provided by a central heating boiler. Many authentic elements have been preserved in the house, including original kitchen elements and ceiling paintings.

It is important to note that the purchase agreement will include an old age clause, as the property is over 200 years old. This clause states that the standards for construction quality may be considerably lower than for new buildings, and the seller is not responsible for the quality of floors, roofs, utility lines, sewage, absence of pests or fungi, absence of penetrating or rising damp, and the absence of asbestos. Additionally, a non self occupancy clause will be included, as the seller has not actually lived in the property for the past nine years except for half a year in 2021. This means the buyer cannot be informed about properties or defects that the seller might have been aware of had they actually used the property themselves.

The sale will be based on the model purchase agreement established by the Dutch Association of Real Estate Agents NVM, the Consumers Association, and the Homeowners Association. A deposit or bank guarantee of 10 percent of the purchase price is required. The property is offered at 825,000 euros, costs for the buyer, which translates to approximately 2,750 euros per square meter of living space.

With shops and hospitality venues in the pleasant center of Oosterhout within easy walking distance, this property combines a prime central location with the space and character of a monumental home. The substantial plot size and the versatile attic space offer significant potential for customization, making this an interesting opportunity for those looking to restore and personalize a piece of local history.
