Exclusive Apartment with Panoramic Views over Piushaven

A

"A"

The property at Schoenerstraat 23 is located in the Hoogvenne West area of Tilburg. This apartment offers panoramic views over the Piushaven, one of the most recognizable water features in the city. The building itself is a contemporary interpretation of the former grain company Teurlings de Jong, which was a well-known landmark in the Piushaven area. The design consciously connects with the cultural-historical character of the harbor, with the residential tower drawing inspiration from the shape of the old silos, making it a recognizable element in the area. The apartment occupies the entire floor of the building and offers 105 square meters of living space. A notable feature is that the elevator opens directly into the apartment, providing a private entrance and optimal privacy for the residents. This detail sets this property apart from conventional apartment living where shared hallways are the norm. Upon entering the apartment via the private elevator entrance, one arrives in the spacious living room. The large window fronts provide abundant natural light and an impressive view over the Piushaven and the city skyline. The living room offers ample space for a generous seating area and a large dining table, making it the central point of the home. The open kitchen connects seamlessly to the living area and features a modern cooking island and various built-in appliances including a cooktop with integrated extraction, refrigerator, dishwasher, and extensive cabinet space. This layout is ideal for cooking while maintaining contact with guests. The apartment currently has one very spacious bedroom with plenty of natural light, air conditioning, and a large built-in closet. From this room, there is direct access to the luxurious en-suite bathroom, which features a bathtub, a spacious walk-in shower with rain shower, a floating toilet, and a vanity unit with mirror cabinet. The dark tile finish gives the space a stylish and modern appearance. The current layout offers one spacious bedroom, but it is relatively straightforward to convert this into two separate bedrooms again. An alternative floor plan and artist impressions are available to illustrate this possibility. In addition to the main living areas, the apartment has a separate toilet, a practical laundry room, and extra storage space. There is also a French balcony, providing a connection to the outdoors and further enhancing the sense of space and light. The building complex features a neat central entrance with an intercom system and video installation. From the hall, residents have access to the elevators and stairwell. The indoor parking garage is also accessible from within the complex. The apartment comes with its own parking space in the parking garage, which is a significant convenience in a central urban location like this. The property is located on the fourth floor of the building, which was constructed in 2009. It has a flat roof covered with bituminous roofing material. The energy label is A, indicating good energy efficiency. The insulation includes roof insulation, HR glass, and wall insulation. Heating and hot water are provided by a gas-fired combi boiler that is owned by the property. The location of this apartment is excellent in many respects. From the apartment, one can walk directly to the lively Piushaven with various restaurants and terraces, such as RAK, Smit Vis aan de Haven, and Jaxx Marina. On the other side of the harbor is the nature area Moerenburg, where one can enjoy walking or cycling. For daily groceries, the renewed AaBe Fabrieksterrein is within short distance, and the center of Tilburg is also easily accessible. Schools, sports facilities, and other amenities are likewise in the immediate vicinity. Via Ringbaan Oost and Ringbaan Zuid, the exit roads towards Breda, Eindhoven, and Waalwijk are quickly reachable. The property is situated on a quiet road, along the water, in the center, and offers an unobstructed view. These location characteristics combine urban convenience with a peaceful living environment. The Owners Association (VvE) is properly organized with registration at the Chamber of Commerce (KvK), annual meetings, periodic contributions, a reserve fund, a maintenance plan, and building insurance. The monthly VvE contribution is 355.16 euros, which consists of 283.88 euros for the apartment and 71.28 euros for the parking space. This contribution level covers the maintenance of a building with amenities such as an elevator and parking garage. The asking price is 550,000 euros costs to the buyer (k.k.), which translates to approximately 5,238 euros per square meter of living space. This price point reflects the unique characteristics of the property, including the private elevator entrance, the panoramic views, the central location in the popular Piushaven area, and the overall quality of the finish. The apartment includes 21 square meters of external storage space, which is located indoors. This provides additional practical storage capacity that is valuable in apartment living. The transfer is in consultation, and the property is currently available. The property has been listed on Funda since March 12, 2026, and has received significant interest with over 3,700 views and 31 saves. The apartment building represents an interesting piece of contemporary architecture that respects the industrial heritage of the Piushaven area. The transformation of this former grain company site into residential space is part of a broader urban development trend where industrial waterfronts are being repurposed for housing. This gives the location a particular character that distinguishes it from newly developed residential areas on the outskirts of the city. The fourth-floor position provides several advantages beyond just the view. Being elevated above street level means less noise from traffic and pedestrians, while still being connected to the urban environment through the window views. The air conditioning in the bedroom is a practical feature for warmer periods, as apartments with large window fronts can experience heat gain during summer months. The kitchen island layout represents a contemporary approach to kitchen design where the kitchen is integrated into the living space rather than being a separate utility room. This creates a more social atmosphere and makes the apartment feel larger than its 105 square meters might suggest. The presence of integrated extraction in the cooking island keeps the kitchen visually clean without the need for a prominent extractor hood. The possibility to create a second bedroom adds flexibility to the property. For a single occupant or couple, the current layout with one large bedroom and en-suite bathroom offers a spacious living experience. For those expecting to use the property differently in the future, such as for guests or a home office, the option to divide the space provides future flexibility. The parking situation is particularly advantageous in this central location. In many Dutch city centers, finding parking can be challenging and expensive. Having a dedicated parking space in the indoor garage eliminates this concern entirely. The proximity to Moerenburg nature reserve is a notable feature that adds to the quality of life. This area offers walking and cycling routes through natural landscapes, providing a contrast to the urban environment of the Piushaven. The building construction year of 2009 means that the property is not subject to some of the concerns that affect older buildings, such as asbestos or outdated plumbing. The presence of a reserve fund in the VvE suggests that major maintenance can be properly planned and funded. The 352 cubic meters of content volume provides a sense of the three-dimensional space in the apartment, which is relevant given the likely ceiling heights in this type of modern apartment construction. Higher ceilings contribute to the sense of spaciousness and light that the listing emphasizes.
