Description
This characteristic upper apartment, known as a maisonnette, is situated in the Tuindorp neighborhood within the Stratum district of Eindhoven. The property was built around 1950 and offers a living area of approximately 89 square meters with a total volume of 332 cubic meters. The home is located within the city ring of Eindhoven, making it conveniently positioned for accessing various urban amenities.
The entrance to the property is located on the ground floor, where residents will find a meter cupboard and the staircase leading up to the first floor. This setup is typical for maisonnette-style apartments in the Netherlands, where the living quarters are situated above ground level while still maintaining a private entrance.
The first floor serves as the main living area of the home. Upon reaching the landing, one is greeted by a laminate floor that extends throughout this level. The landing features practical built-in storage solutions including a wardrobe and additional closet space. A staircase leads to the second floor from this landing. The toilet on this floor is partially tiled and equipped with a standing toilet and a small washbasin.
The living and dining area is L-shaped and creates a warm atmosphere with the presence of a chimney and a gas fireplace. This room also includes a built-in cabinet, providing additional storage for the household. The layout allows for separate zones for living and dining activities within the same open space.
The kitchen is a closed layout, separate from the living area, and features a plastic kitchen installation. The countertop is made of plastic material and includes a stainless steel sink. The kitchen comes equipped with a five-burner gas cooktop, an extractor hood, an oven, a dishwasher, and a refrigerator-freezer combination. Various upper and lower cabinets provide ample storage space for kitchenware and groceries. A door from the kitchen leads to the balcony, which has an area of approximately 4 square meters.
The second floor contains the sleeping quarters and the bathroom. The landing on this level provides access to a hatch leading to the storage attic. A dedicated laundry room is located here, featuring tiled flooring, connections for washing appliances, and the installation of an electric boiler for hot water supply.
The property includes three bedrooms in total. The first bedroom is located at the front of the house and includes a built-in closet. The second bedroom is also situated at the front of the property. The third bedroom can be found at the rear of the house and benefits from both a built-in closet and an additional wardrobe. This arrangement provides flexibility for various household compositions, whether for a family, couples working from home, or individuals requiring guest rooms.
The bathroom on the second floor is fully tiled and includes a built-in bathtub, a shower cabin, and a fixed washbasin. The presence of both a bathtub and a separate shower offers residents the choice between different bathing options.
The property comes with an external storage unit, which is a freestanding stone building measuring approximately 7 square meters. This additional space is valuable for storing bicycles, garden equipment, or other items that may not fit within the main living quarters.
Parking in the area is managed through a permit system. The property is located on a quiet road within a residential neighborhood, which contributes to a peaceful living environment while still being connected to the broader urban infrastructure.
The Tuindorp location is described as sought-after and offers numerous facilities in the immediate vicinity. Schools, shops, and major roads are all within easy reach. The city center of Eindhoven can be reached by bicycle in approximately ten minutes, making this location practical for those who work or study in the heart of the city.
The property is part of an active homeowners association (VvE) that is registered with the Chamber of Commerce. The association holds annual meetings, collects periodic contributions of 162 euros per month, maintains a reserve fund, has a maintenance plan in place, and has arranged building insurance. These organizational aspects provide structure for the ongoing maintenance and management of the shared elements of the property.
The energy label for this property is rated E, which is valid until December 23, 2030. The home features roof insulation as its primary insulation measure. Heating is provided through gas fireplaces, while hot water is generated by an electric boiler. These systems reflect the era of construction and may be points of consideration for future energy efficiency improvements.
The property is offered at a price of 349,000 euros, with the buyer responsible for the associated transaction costs (kosten koper). This translates to approximately 3,921 euros per square meter of living space. The property is currently available and the transfer date can be discussed with the seller.
The cadastral designation for this property is STRATUM E 5535, and it is held in full ownership (volle eigendom). The building is classified as existing construction from 1954, which corresponds with the approximate 1950 construction date mentioned in the description.
Cable television connections are available in the property, which is a standard amenity for modern living. The home spans two main living levels plus an additional storage attic, providing a sense of space that distinguishes maisonnettes from single-level apartments.
