Spacious Extended Semi-Detached Home with Garage and Five Bedrooms
Key Features
Upsides
- The property has been extended to include five bedrooms plus an additional flexible room on the ground floor, providing substantial living space of 147 square meters that can accommodate various household needs including home offices or hobby spaces.
- The home features a wide driveway with parking for multiple vehicles and an attached garage with an automatic door, addressing the common need for adequate parking and secure storage.
- Energy efficiency has been addressed with comprehensive insulation including roof, cavity wall, and floor insulation, resulting in an Energy Label B rating. The roof was completely renewed in 2016 and the boiler was replaced in 2014.
- The backyard offers an unobstructed view at the rear, which provides a sense of privacy and spaciousness that is valued in residential properties and not always available in semi-detached homes.
Downsides
- The ground floor additional room includes a bathtub but appears to lack a proper shower or toilet, making it an awkward arrangement if used as a bedroom rather than a playroom or hobby space.
- With five bedrooms, there is only one bathroom on the first floor plus one separate toilet on the ground floor, which may be insufficient for larger families or households with multiple occupants.
- The backyard faces northeast, which means it receives less direct sunlight compared to south or west-facing gardens, particularly during the afternoon and evening hours when outdoor space is often most used.
- As a semi-detached property built in 1988, there is a shared wall with the neighboring home, which means less privacy and potential noise transmission compared to a fully detached house.
Description
This semi-detached house, known in Dutch as a twee-onder-een-kapwoning, is located in Luyksgestel and was originally constructed in 1988. The property has been significantly extended and modernized over recent years, resulting in a well-maintained family home that offers generous living space combined with practical features. The total living area measures approximately 147 square meters, while the plot covers 307 square meters. With a volume of 576 cubic meters, the residence provides ample room for families, individuals who work from home, or those with hobbies requiring dedicated spaces.
The exterior approach to the property reveals a wide driveway capable of accommodating multiple vehicles, which is a notable advantage for households with several cars. The attached garage is constructed of brick and features an automatic door operated by electricity, as well as a separate pedestrian door for convenient access without needing to open the main garage door. The garage interior has a tiled floor and electrical connections.
Entry to the home is through a covered entrance that provides shelter from weather conditions. The reception hall includes a coat closet for storing outerwear and a recently updated meter cupboard that has been equipped with a fiber optic connection, ensuring modern digital infrastructure is in place. Adjacent to the hall is a partially tiled guest toilet room featuring a wall-hung toilet and a small washbasin.
The hallway, living room, and kitchen areas are all finished with an attractive herringbone pattern laminate floor that creates visual continuity throughout the ground floor. The walls and ceilings in these spaces have been predominantly finished with smooth plasterwork, giving a clean and contemporary appearance. Recessed spotlights have been installed at various points to supplement the natural lighting.
The living area benefits from large window sections at both the front and rear of the property, allowing natural daylight to enter throughout the day. The front portion of the living room serves as a comfortable seating area, while the rear section has been designed as an open-plan living and kitchen space. This layout creates a natural connection between cooking, dining, and relaxation activities, which is particularly suitable for family life and entertaining.
The kitchen is arranged in a practical corner configuration and receives additional illumination from two skylights installed in the ceiling above. The kitchen appliances include an induction cooktop with a stainless steel extractor hood, a dishwasher, a refrigerator, and an oven. Both the living room and kitchen areas are equipped with underfloor heating, which provides consistent warmth and eliminates the need for radiators in these spaces.
A sliding patio door in the living area provides direct access to the backyard, where residents can enjoy an unobstructed view at the rear of the property. This view contributes to a sense of privacy and spaciousness that is often valued in residential settings.
From an interior hallway, one can access both the garage and a versatile room that could serve multiple purposes. This additional ground floor space could function as an extra bedroom, a playroom for children, or a hobby room. The room is finished with laminate flooring and plastered walls, and it includes a bathtub. The hallway also contains plumbing connections for a washing machine and dryer, along with a practical sink for utility purposes such as handwashing or filling buckets.
The first floor is reached via a staircase and features a landing that provides access to three bedrooms, the main bathroom, and a useful storage closet. All bedrooms on this level have laminate flooring. Two bedrooms are located at the rear of the property, with the larger master bedroom benefiting from built-in wardrobe space and roller shutters that can be closed to control light or provide additional security. The third bedroom on this floor is situated at the front of the home.
The bathroom on the first floor has been updated to a modern standard and includes a generous walk-in shower, a wall-hung toilet, a washbasin with a bathroom cabinet, and recessed spot lighting. The finishes and fixtures are contemporary and designed for practical daily use.
The second floor is accessed via a fixed staircase. On this level, the fifth bedroom is located, offering flexibility as an additional sleeping area, a home office space, or a hobby room depending on the needs of the occupants. This floor has been fitted with insulated roof panels, which contribute to temperature regulation and overall comfort in this uppermost living space. Also located on the second floor is the Vaillant high-efficiency combination boiler that was installed in 2014. This boiler provides both central heating and hot water for the property and is included in the sale.
The backyard has been landscaped to create an attractive outdoor living space. The rear garden measures approximately 108 square meters with dimensions of 12 meters in depth and 9 meters in width. The garden is oriented toward the northeast. Thanks to the unobstructed view at the rear, residents enjoy significant privacy and a sense of openness. The garden includes a paved terrace area suitable for outdoor furniture, varied plantings that add visual interest, and a freestanding wooden garden shed that provides additional storage space for garden equipment, bicycles, or other items.
The property has achieved an Energy Label B rating, which reflects the insulation improvements that have been made. The home benefits from roof insulation, cavity wall insulation, and floor insulation. Following hail damage that occurred in 2016, all roof coverings and roof tiles were replaced with new materials. At the same time, the entire exterior of the property was repainted, which has maintained its neat appearance.
The property is situated on a quiet road within a residential area, offering a peaceful living environment. The combination of the quiet location and the free view at the rear creates a setting that many buyers find desirable. The semi-detached nature of the home means there is one shared wall with an adjacent property.
With five bedrooms in total, an additional flexible room on the ground floor, a garage, and ample parking, this property offers substantial accommodation suitable for various household sizes and configurations. The asking price is 525,000 euros, which is payable by the buyer including transaction costs (kosten koper). This equates to approximately 3,571 euros per square meter of living space. A bank guarantee or deposit equal to ten percent of the purchase price must be provided within six weeks of the agreement being finalized. The date of transfer is to be determined through mutual consultation between buyer and seller.
