Spacious family home with deep garden and solar panels near Eindhoven

This well-maintained terraced family home is situated on Gagelstraat 14 in the charming village of Maarheeze, located in the municipality of Cranendonck in North Brabant, the Netherlands. Built in 1972, the property has been thoughtfully updated in recent years and offers comfortable living for a family seeking space, modern comforts, and a convenient location.

The home provides 132 square meters of living space across three floors, situated on a generous plot of 235 square meters. One of the standout features of this property is the full-width extension at the rear, which significantly increases the living space on the ground floor. This extension creates a bright and spacious feel throughout the main living areas.

Upon entering the property, you are greeted by a covered entrance leading to a hallway equipped with built-in wall cabinets and a renovated fuse box. The hallway also features a fully tiled guest toilet with a wall-mounted sink. From the entrance hall, you access the main living areas.

The ground floor features a spacious living room with a hardwood staircase leading to the upper floors. The living room is thoughtfully arranged with a seating area at the front of the house and a dining area at the rear. The full-width extension at the back of the property offers beautiful views of the garden and features patio doors that provide direct access to the outdoor terrace, creating an excellent indoor-outdoor flow.

Adjacent to the living room is a semi-open kitchen equipped with corner kitchen cabinets. The kitchen comes complete with essential appliances including a refrigerator, oven, dishwasher, induction cooktop, and range hood. What makes this kitchen particularly special is the additional space behind it, which is part of the extension and provides room for a secondary dining area or breakfast nook. This area also has a garden door leading to the terrace, making it convenient for outdoor dining and entertaining.

The entire ground floor is finished with tile flooring that includes underfloor heating, providing comfortable warmth during cooler months and contributing to the home's energy efficiency.

The first floor accommodates three generously sized bedrooms and a fully tiled bathroom. Two bedrooms are located at the rear of the house, one of which is equipped with air conditioning for added comfort during warmer months. One bedroom is positioned at the front of the property. The bathroom is finished in light-colored tiles and features a sink with vanity cabinet, a toilet, and a bathtub with a shower screen.

A fixed staircase leads to the second floor, which houses a spacious landing area offering ample storage opportunities. This landing also accommodates the washing machine connections and the central heating boiler, which was replaced in 2023. The second floor includes a very spacious fourth bedroom with built-in storage and a large Velux roof window on the rear roof slope, flooding the room with natural light.

The outdoor space of this property is particularly noteworthy. The rear garden is deep, measuring approximately 15 meters from the extension to the back of the property. The garden has been professionally landscaped and features a pond, multiple terraces, and diverse plantings that create an attractive mix of sunny and shaded areas throughout the day. A freestanding brick storage shed spans the full width of the garden at the back and provides access to the adjacent maintenance path. The garden offers a peaceful retreat and is ideal for families with children or those who enjoy outdoor living.

In terms of energy efficiency and sustainability, this home has received substantial upgrades. In 2023, the property was fitted with cavity wall insulation, roof insulation, and 10 solar panels. The property holds an energy label C, which is respectable for a home of this age and construction type. The combination of these improvements, along with the underfloor heating on the ground floor and the recently replaced central heating boiler, should result in reasonable energy costs for the new owner.
