This house was renovated from top to bottom in 2016 under the inspiring eye of an architect. With great attention to detail, this truly special home has become.
Older houses in the city center are typically narrow and tall. Few houses offer, like this one, approximately 150 m² of ground floor space. With all that space, the kitchen is the hub of your family. It fulfills this social hub role with a spacious island offering ample storage, PITT Cooking, and a breakfast and drinks bar. Naturally, the kitchen is fully equipped with Miele and Liebherr appliances and a Quooker. There's also ample storage space around the island, and opposite it, a coffee and wine corner. From this kitchen, you also have a beautiful view of the living room, the dining room, and the garden. An ideal focal point for your home.
It's especially nice when the sitting area is at the end of the room. Here, you can find peace and quiet in the evenings, without the hustle and bustle. The fireplace is incorporated into a wall, as is the TV. Behind this wall, there's plenty of storage, with shelves providing ample space for displaying beautiful items. Just like the rest of the ground floor, the tiled floor resembles a wooden one. This floor not only creates a warm atmosphere, but thanks to the underfloor heating, it's also very comfortable for bare feet. A large arched window provides ample natural light.
Of course, everyone is familiar with the front of St. Jacob's Church. But your visitors will still be surprised by the view from this side. The architect's approach to this project was a surprising one. By installing a huge transparent wall, the inside becomes the outside, and vice versa. The wall can be slid open in two directions from the corner. During the day, it's a wonderfully bright spot for a cozy dining table, and in the evening, you can dine with this remarkable view. The long wall of cabinets makes your home both practical and tasteful. This home also offers more outdoor space than is typical in the city center. In addition to a large courtyard garden, there are two roof terraces. So, you can choose your own spot for sun, shade, reading a book, enjoying a glass of wine together, or enjoying a delicious dinner al fresco.
Back House
In the back house, on the first floor, you'll find a large room suitable for a variety of purposes. It's currently used as a gym. Below, you'll find the technical room for the spa. There's a sauna with, again, a large glass wall. The heater is freestanding in the room, and there are benches for three people. The (plunge) shower is located at the back. Perhaps even more beautiful is the jacuzzi for about four people. Up on a raised platform under the starry sky behind a glass roof, this is the ultimate relaxation experience, right at home.
First Floor
This was once an upstairs and downstairs apartment. By combining the two, a staircase could be removed. The current staircase is beautifully concealed behind a sliding door. We recognize this architect by the banister, but also by the interplay of lines on this staircase and the light line between the wall and the sloping surface. Laundry appliances are concealed in a cupboard on the spacious landing.
This family finds it convenient to use a bedroom as a study. And when guests come, they find their place here too. It's understandable that the owner chose this room for work. The view alone makes your workday more enjoyable, doesn't it? And in spring, the garden doors naturally open early. There are plenty of built-in closets with space for a TV. Just like the rest of this floor, there's a wooden engineered wood floor with a whitewash finish. It's a tasteful combination with the other sleek finishes.
The other three bedrooms are for the children. Two bedrooms are at the front, both with two windows for relaxing. The back room opens onto the roof terrace.
This first bathroom is for the children. Of course, everything here is just as tastefully finished as the rest of the house. Washbasins on the countertop, a calm yet natural wall tile around the bathtub, and a lovely, large walk-in shower. Normally, this would be the main bathroom, but that's still to come. The toilet is accessible separately. Behind this toilet, you'll find a utility room for the second central heating boiler.
Second Floor
You have the entire second floor to yourself. Under the attractive trusses lies a large bedroom with an en-suite bathroom. The approximately 8-meter-long room has room for a bed, a sitting area by the dormer window, and a long built-in wardrobe under the sloping ceiling. Here too, the same laminated parquet flooring as on the first floor is found. Because the bathroom is exclusively for this room, the sink could be placed on one end. The bathtub is cleverly placed on the sloping ceiling, and the toilet and shower are on the other side of the sink. Behind this bathroom is a surprising storage area for your summer/winter wardrobe.
As mentioned, this was once an upstairs and downstairs apartment. This explains the second front door on the front facade. Now, this is the spacious bicycle shed from the street.
Location
Anyone who knows this city center well knows that these are the best spots. Not only is it a particularly charming street with beautiful facades, but the street is also a dead end, meaning no through traffic. Incidentally, the street is wide enough to drive right up to the door. Convenient for children and groceries. So, you live here quietly, centrally, and with a wonderful atmosphere. It's also a very pleasant street with neighbors. You'll get to know them in no time. Just a short walk down the street brings you to the fortifications, Zuiderpark, and just a little further on, the Bossche Broek. The shopping and dining areas of the city center are close enough to walk to, yet far enough away that you won't hear or notice anything. The station is a 10-minute walk away.
You'll receive an evening parking permit (from 5:00 PM to 10:00 AM) immediately. A 24/7 permit takes a little longer. However, season tickets are available at the St.-Jansgarage, a stone's throw away.
