Spacious upper floor apartment with rooftop terrace and atelier in Boxtel center

This upper floor apartment is situated on the Stationsstraat in the heart of Boxtel, offering a unique living opportunity for those who wish to reside in a vibrant center location. The property is located above a commercial space currently rented to a barber shop, which adds to the lively atmosphere of the address. The building dates back to 1939 but underwent a comprehensive modernization and sustainability renovation in 2002, bringing the interior up to contemporary standards while maintaining its characteristic appearance.

The apartment has a total living area of approximately 120 square meters, which is remarkably generous for a center location apartment. Additionally, there is about 8 square meters of other indoor space and 45 square meters of building-bound outdoor space, which primarily consists of the rooftop terrace. The property also benefits from 72 square meters of external storage space, divided between an atelier building and a separate storage facility.

Access to the apartment is through a side entrance on the ground floor. Upon entering, you arrive in a spacious hallway that features a tiled floor throughout. This entrance area provides access to a cellar, which includes a wine cellar, a toilet with a washbasin, a built-in closet, and the fixed staircase leading to the first floor. The presence of a wine cellar adds a distinctive element to the property.

The first floor contains all the main living spaces. From the landing, you can access the living room with open kitchen, two bedrooms, the bathroom, a second toilet with washbasin, and a laundry room. The entire floor has wooden flooring, with the exception of the wet rooms which are appropriately tiled.

The living room is particularly bright and spacious, finished with smooth plastered walls and the aforementioned wooden floor. Large windows at the front of the property allow plenty of natural light to enter and create an open, airy atmosphere. A small balcony at the front overlooks the renovated shopping street, providing a view of the neighborhood activity. All front windows are equipped with screens for sun protection and privacy. The living room features a gas fireplace that adds warmth and ambiance during colder months. An interesting feature of the layout is its flexibility: the living room can be expanded by opening a panel door that connects to the second bedroom, allowing residents to choose between a two-bedroom or one-bedroom configuration based on their needs.

The open kitchen is positioned at the rear of the property and is well-equipped with modern appliances. These include a five-burner gas stove with a wok burner, an extractor hood, an oven, a dishwasher, a refrigerator, and a Quooker instant boiling water tap. There is ample storage space in both upper and lower cabinets as well as drawers. A fixed cabinet provides additional storage, and behind a sliding door, the central heating boiler is installed. This Remeha combi boiler was installed in 2024 and is gas-fired, ensuring reliable and efficient heating and hot water supply.

From the kitchen, you can access the rooftop terrace, which is one of the standout features of this property. The terrace covers approximately 40 square meters and offers a surprising amount of privacy despite its central location. The terrace faces north but benefits from a favorable position that allows for sun exposure throughout the day, according to the listing description. The surrounding greenery contributes to a peaceful atmosphere that contrasts with the urban setting below.

The first bedroom is located at the rear of the property and has direct access to the bathroom. This room features a large built-in closet and generous window surfaces that provide good natural light. The second bedroom is situated at the front and is created by closing the panel door in the living room. Thanks to the large windows, this space is also pleasant and bright.

The fully tiled bathroom has a skylight that brings in natural light, making the space feel open and fresh. It is equipped with a walk-in shower, a washbasin, and a designer radiator. The separate laundry room is partially tiled and includes a sink, connections for a washing machine and dryer, and space for an additional refrigerator or freezer.

Beyond the main apartment, the property includes several additional spaces that significantly enhance its value. Adjacent to the entrance, there is a garden area with a large atelier building measuring 42 square meters. This building has a zoning designation for center purposes, making it suitable for various uses. Currently, it serves as storage space, but the multifunctional zoning opens possibilities for home office use, workshop activities, or other purposes depending on the needs of the new owner.

The external storage building is a fully brick-built structure measuring approximately 30 square meters. This is ideal for storing bicycles, motorcycles, or other two-wheeled vehicles. Both external structures are located on the property's own parcel of land.

The location of this property is one of its strongest attributes. The center of Boxtel offers a wide range of amenities including shops, restaurants, and other services. The train station is within a few hundred meters, making it easily accessible on foot and providing excellent connections to surrounding cities such as 's-Hertogenbosch, Eindhoven, and Tilburg. The market square of Boxtel is also within walking distance. For those traveling by car, the main roads to these cities can be reached within minutes. Parking in the center is managed through a permit system that can be obtained through the municipality.

The property has an energy label D, which is valid until February 2036. Given that the property was modernized and made more sustainable in 2002, and with the recent installation of a modern high-efficiency boiler in 2024, there may be opportunities to further improve the energy performance.

An important aspect to note is that the property is part of a homeowners association that is currently dormant. The listing indicates that this association will be activated after the sale. Prospective buyers should inquire about the implications of this, including any future maintenance obligations and contribution amounts.

The purchase will be executed using a standard VastgoedNederland purchase agreement with several additional clauses. These include an age clause due to the building being older than 25 years, an asbestos clause given the construction year predating 1993, a notary clause specifying maximum costs for the seller and a time frame, a measurement clause regarding liability of seller and estate agent, and a requirement for a deposit or bank guarantee of 10 percent of the purchase price.

The asking price is 650,000 euros, which translates to approximately 5,417 euros per square meter of living space. This price is buyer's costs, meaning that transfer tax and notary fees are additional expenses for the buyer. The property can be delivered in the short term, with the exact date to be agreed upon.

It is worth noting that the commercial space on the ground floor is also available for purchase separately. For buyers interested in combining living and working spaces, this could present an interesting opportunity, though it would involve an additional investment.

In summary, this property offers a rare combination of spacious living in a central location, with the added benefits of a large private rooftop terrace and versatile external buildings. The flexible layout allows adaptation to different living needs, and the practical aspects such as modern heating, ample storage, and good connectivity make this a property that warrants serious consideration for those seeking a distinctive home in Boxtel center.
