RESIDENCE DE KARPEN APARTMENT COMPLEX

Residence de Karpen is rightfully one of the most beautiful residential locations in the Netherlands. The apartment complex, designed by architect Van de Pauwert, comprises approximately 2.5 hectares of land including the park-like garden all around. With the right combination of location, architecture, layout, material use, and garden design, the complex delivered in 1989 is an ultimate place to live and recreate, for young and old alike. In this beautiful environment, 34 luxury apartments in the exclusive segment are located.

In addition to optimal privacy, Residence De Karpen aims to provide residents with a pleasant and safe living environment. Residents can make use of various communal facilities such as a heated indoor swimming pool, fitness room, and tennis court. It is also delightful to walk in the garden surrounding the complex.

The best of these apartments, the penthouse, is now available as the ultimate opportunity in the housing market. This spacious penthouse with many marble walls and floors, boasts a whopping 280 square meters of living space and approximately 130 square meters of outdoor space on the east and southwest-facing rooftop terraces.


SUSTAINABILITY

The entire complex has insulated roofs, facades, and floors, plus insulated glass in the aluminum window frames. Each apartment has intermediate spaces to the next homes, ensuring no sound transmission.

To keep out any summer heat, there are awning sunscreens above the rooftop terraces, and the windows have electric screens.

Safety is paramount. The complex with alarm system and strict key management is surrounded by secured fencing in the greenery. The double design gates can only be operated remotely by the caretaker and residents. The same applies to the garage doors in the basement.


RESIDENCE DE KARPEN ENTRANCE

The entrance to the private grounds of the apartment complex is accessible via the double electric wrought iron gates with digital intercom and video phone installation on Javalaan.

The main entrance of the complex itself is accessible via electric sliding doors to the intermediate hall with mailboxes and video phone. Subsequently, there is the high-quality finished central reception hall with caretaker's desk and access to the spacious lounge for communal use.

This penthouse is accessible via the residential reception hall, to the right through the automatic door and the elevator to the fourth floor. The front door of this penthouse is located in the bright inner hall with elevator and staircase; there are no other front doors here, meaning you are entirely private on this floor without fellow residents.

The delivery box is also located here. This box can also be used for separate waste streams collected three times a week by the caretaker.

In storage 1 next to the front door are the mechanical ventilation, the Remeha Aqua hot water supply, the Snoek central vacuum system, the underfloor heating system, and the central heating boiler (Intergas HR) installed. Behind the smoked glass mirror door next to it hides a practical corner cabinet.


RECEPTION HALL

The remarkably spacious reception hall in the apartment immediately impresses thanks to the veined marble, floor-to-ceiling wall finishing combined with marble windowsills, and identical floor finishing. Towards the living wing is a beautiful niche of the same marble, built-in spots, and glass shelves to display art objects. Beyond the smoked glass doors to the living wing is a similar art niche.

Opposite the front door with spy hole is the spacious guest toilet, also entirely executed in marble. There is a floating toilet, glass shelves, marble washbasin unit, and mirror with brass accents. Left of that is the double wardrobe closet with smoked glass mirror sliding doors.

The double smoked glass doors with custom-made bronze handles on the right in the reception hall lead to the impressively large and bright living wing. Immediately to the left is the dining kitchen. Straight ahead, the room-wide sliding doors are immediately noticeable with sun-shading external screens towards the large southwest-facing rooftop terrace.

To the right is a deep pantry and utility closet with plenty of storage space for terrace necessities. And beyond the space unfolds the immense living and dining room with solid wood parquet flooring in a classic block pattern and various marble wall finishes.


DINING KITCHEN

The white U-shaped kitchen has a deep utility and storage closet with shelves, large windows on two sides, and its own door to the spacious rooftop terrace.

Walls, windowsills, and floors are finished here with the same veined marble that characterizes this penthouse. The cabinets of the white plastic kitchen with brass handles extend to ceiling height on two sides.

The countertop features a white composite worktop with two round sinks and a mixer tap under the large window overlooking the balcony terrace and park garden. Underneath the countertop, creating extra workspace, is the built-in Miele dishwasher.

Next to this pillar, in the spacious corner by the windows and balcony door, there is ample space for a coffee and breakfast corner.


LIVING AND DINING ROOM

The living and dining room in a Z-shape measures almost 130 square meters, including the music room with pantry. The daylight entry is optimal here thanks to the large window in the side facade and the room-wide glass sliding doors with convector pits in three outer walls.

Optically, the spacious dining and sitting areas are separated by ceiling spots, delineated by marble wall coverings, with the gas fireplace adorned with brass and marble around the corner.


MULTIFUNCTIONAL MUSIC ROOM WITH PANTRY

Adjacent to the living room is a semi-open passage to the balcony door, leading to the east-facing balcony that wraps around the living room. Here is also the multifunctional music room, in semi-open connection with the living room. This space, with two fully glassed facades with convector pits, is suitable as a workspace, library, or piano room.

Conveniently, hidden from view near the balcony door is a full pantry with sink and faucet, refrigerator, glass cabinets, drawers, and cabinets for the sound system.


WORK AND SLEEP WING

From the central entrance hall, there is a kind of open vestibule on the left, followed by work/living room 2. This room features ceiling-high custom-made walnut bookcases, a mosaic hardwood parquet floor in a block pattern combined with marble floor tiles, and two smoked glass sliding doors leading to the master suite. There is plenty of natural light through the room-wide windows with its own door to the rooftop terrace.

Particularly noteworthy is the fully glassed facade, partly slanted and ceiling-high. Furthermore, this spacious work/living room features a beautiful marble fireplace with mirrored mantle, integrated diagonally in the corner of the wall of cabinets. In addition to the marble vestibule, there is also a niche for sound equipment.

Behind the two mirrored sliding doors in the work/living room is the main bedroom 1, with the boudoir room and the luxurious bathroom 1 with dressing room. From the work/living room, the stock and archive room and the 2nd bedroom with 2nd bathroom are also accessible.

In the spacious bedroom 1, there is a custom-made wardrobe around the headboard with spotlights, shelves, and nightstands. Opposite, the smoked glass sliding doors conceal the wall from view, as well as the passage to the adjacent work/living room with the open vestibule. From this bedroom, bathroom 1 and the boudoir room are accessible on one side and the other side.

The passage from the main bedroom with the washbasin cabinets with mirrored doors leads to the particularly large and luxurious bathroom 1, entirely executed in beautifully veined marble, with brass accents, faucets, and accessories. There is a wide marble vanity with two sinks, a three-part mirror wall, and atmospheric lighting. Next to these luxurious sinks is a linen cupboard with a mirrored door and a spacious walk-in shower with a glass door. Next to it is the toilet niche with a floating toilet with a wall panel, and in the corner is an ergonomic bathtub and a bidet.

Beyond the bathtub is the door to the particularly bright and spacious boudoir room with light hardwood floors. This room has ceiling-high, partly slanted windows facing southwest, overlooking the rooftop terrace and the park garden. On the right is the door to the rooftop terrace.

ROOFTERRACES AND SURROUNDING PARK GARDEN

The apartment has almost 130 square meters of outdoor space on the two rooftop terraces with natural stone floor tiles.

The east and north-facing terrace wraps around the living room on three sides. The beautiful view here is on the treetops and the front yard. The terrace is surrounded on the side and on the side of the front yard by large planter boxes with ample space for shrubs and other plants. There are two water points and drip irrigation in the planters.

The partially covered sun, lounge, and dining terrace adjacent to the dining room and kitchen on the southwest is impressive with over forty square meters. Here too, there are generous plant and shrub borders with water points. The over six-meter-deep section is shielded by the masonry white wall with three windows. The wall blocks both sound and wind. Sun protection is provided by the large awning against the ceiling. This rooftop terrace extends alongside the kitchen, second living room, and two bedrooms on the southwest, with a masonry underpass halfway.

The setting of De Karpen is in a surrounding park and sculpture garden, which is sustainably and meticulously irrigated and maintained. This green oasis offers a completely green view all around and, of course, optimal privacy. The landscape architecture showcases all seasons. The flora is diverse; from azalea garden to maple avenue and from pond with fountain to beech trees over a hundred years old. In the park, there is also the private all-weather tennis court and walking paths.


DOUBLE GARAGE BOXES AND STORAGE IN THE BASEMENT

The penthouse also has plenty of space in the secure, underground parking garage of the residence.

There is a private, lockable double garage box with two parking spaces and two charging points for electric cars.

The current owners are taking a logical step in their housing career: downsizing now that their three sons have left the house and they have concluded their professional lives. With a heavy heart, they are giving their luxury domain to another family.

They had the villa built together in 1984 and then adapted it in 2000 to their personal preferences: "We had our children here, and now it's getting very big. It's been beautiful. We've had a very pleasant time here for almost 40 years, still enjoying especially the south-facing garden, the indoor swimming pool with lounge, our walks along the sound barrier, and also the spacious kitchen, the central heart of the house.

In 2000, we extended the kitchen and realized the basement with an indoor swimming pool, lounge bar, and sunken terrace with steps leading to the backyard. This way, we could preserve the garden to the fullest. Around that time, the sound barrier was also constructed, and we were able to have the entire exterior taken care of by the renowned garden architect Fons Linders. In 2014, the villa was completely restyled under the guidance of an interior architect. Now it's truly top-notch: we're completely free, especially downstairs, nobody hears or sees us, and yet we live close to the city and near the schools. In other words, complete freedom, 100% privacy, and optimal daylight in the villa."

Over the years, the villa, under the guidance of an interior architect, has become a comfortable and spacious entity of this current time.

GROUND FLOOR - LIVING WING

The spacious entrance hall has a double and concealed front door with videophone, so there is no view from the street. On the left are the doors to the living kitchen and the double garage, with the cloakroom next to it, meter cupboard, and guest toilet. There is a ceiling-height tilt-and-turn window overlooking the beautifully landscaped front garden with compass paving.

From the hall, the villa literally opens up from the center towards the sun and the south-facing backyard, through double glass interior doors with frosted decorative border to the living room. The entire living area has an Italian marble tile floor in classic Botticino, laid by Mario Galante Natuursteen, and is equipped with underfloor heating.

The living room has a dining area that is somewhat separated from the sitting area and adjoining TV room by two niches for art with spotlights. The whole is equipped with three double patio doors to the sun terrace with canopy.

The open tunnel fireplace has a view from the sitting room to the lower-level TV room, which also has double patio doors. This lower room is equipped with a large TV screen and Dolby surround Bose system.

On the left side of the entrance hall is the spacious and particularly bright kitchen located, which thanks to the ceiling-high windows and doors on the right at the stairs to the swimming pool level, gives a lot of daylight and garden view. The Forma kitchen with Gaggenau appliances is partly original and partly extended. The kitchen area is partly equipped with an Italian marble tile floor in classic Botticino and partly with an oiled Burgundian oak parquet floor. The professional and ergonomic cooking area consists of a ceramic hob and a built-in Gaggeau fryer, grill, and steamer. The slanted worktop at the 1.5 sink with professional tap and Quooker is entirely made of solid end-grain butcher block. Within reach are two large built-in refrigerators (Gaggenau and Siemens) and two self-cleaning combi ovens (Siemens). There is a double exhaust system with four metal filters (Gaggenau).

Next is the utility room with inaudible and invisible equipment: dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer, and freezer. The countertop can quickly accommodate all dishes out of sight. Glass blocks are incorporated at the top of the side wall for extra daylight. From here, there is an access door with a descending staircase to a cozy and optimal wine cellar as well as access to the double indoor garage.


GROUND FLOOR - OFFICE/ BEDROOM WING

The right-wing of the villa has two bedrooms/workrooms and a complete bathroom at the front. In the corridor leading to them, high custom-built closets are invisibly integrated into the sloping wall, next to the view to the TV room. Right next to it is bathroom 1, which is currently used as a guest suite on the ground floor together with bedroom 1. The marble and original bathroom is fully equipped with a double washbasin, hanging toilet, bidet, shower cabin, and double bathtub.

The large and bright guest room (bedroom 1) has three large windows facing the front garden. Bedroom 2 also enjoys a pleasant view of the front garden and is particularly suitable as a (home) workspace thanks to the built-in custom-made closet wall. Here is also the mailbox.


FIRST FLOOR

From the spacious entrance hall, the sleek, semi-open design staircase with child safety gate leads to the large and bright landing with dormer windows and dimmable ceiling spots. The staircase is surrounded by a custom-made wooden balustrade with glass.

The entire left wing is the parental domain. The spacious bedroom 3 has its own dressing room behind the custom-made Sucupira wooden room divider with TV and mirror. The drawers are optimally adapted to the depth of the sloping roof and offer plenty of storage space. In addition to the dressing area, there is also the walk-in wardrobe, where the sloping roof is efficiently used for ample storage space. Extra handy: there are USB connection points at the door for charging devices so they don't have to be next to the bed.

On the left side of the bed is an invisible door to the spacious attic above the kitchen extension, so that the space under the sloping roof is optimally utilized here as well. At the spacious and bright landing, there are three more spacious bedrooms, each with a large dormer window, and a separate toilet.

Right at the end of the landing is bathroom 2 located. Here, a double washbasin and a shower cabin (restyled in 2014) are located on either side of the dormer window. The wall unit has soft-close drawers with built-in sockets, laundry baskets, and a Corian top, while the mirror contains LED lighting. The second door in this bathroom leads to the wellness and sports area.

This fully-fledged and multifunctional wellness and relaxation area has two large skylights and storage space under the sloping roof. In the corner near the door, the double Whirlpool bath is installed. Next to it is a spacious linen closet.

The corner is entirely dedicated to the spacious four-person wooden Finnish sauna with electric heater. A solarium is installed in the ceiling, with a combination of infrared and UV lamps.

On the other side of this spacious room, with easy space for various home sports equipment, there is another substantial storage and technical room that is beautifully concealed behind louvred doors. Here, the boiler with heat exchangers is installed (2022).

Also, here is the climate system that controls the entire villa. The system dries and cools the indoor air without noticeable airflows. An anti-static filter can be additionally mounted in it (ideal for residents/guests with allergies), while fragrance substances can also be added to the heating air.


BASEMENT WITH INDOOR SWIMMING POOL, LOUNGE WITH BAR, AND SUNKEN TERRACE

The oak staircase from the living kitchen leads to the lounge floor, a relaxation area with a cozy living room feeling, a spacious indoor swimming pool, a lounge area with bar, and a 100% private sunken patio terrace.

In the staircase hall is the control panel for indoor and outdoor lighting, the fountains, the sun awning in the patio, and the pool installations, with the meter cupboard behind it. The safely lockable glass door leads to the spacious indoor swimming pool with jet stream, underwater lighting, walk-in staircase, robot cleaner, and insulating and automatic cover.

The pool, with dimensions of approximately 8.00 x 4.00 x 1.50 m, hardly needs chlorine because it is equipped with an ionizer. The entire space itself is equipped with a dehumidifying climate system with powerful adjustable ventilation, for a pleasant indoor climate. The entire ceiling is equipped with acoustic and fire-resistant material.

All equipment is neatly installed in the technical room behind the pool. Opposite is a separate toilet with a Corian sink top, a towel cupboard, and a spacious dressing room with walk-in shower.

Also, the computer-controlled Hunter group irrigation system for the garden is installed here, as well as the pool ionizer, shower boiler, pool robot, and underfloor heating. The dehumidifier for the space has heat recovery that is delivered to the pool, which, due to its underground location, already requires little heating.

A clever and beautiful roof dome has been made above the pool, for extra daylight and height. Above in the garden, this dome is set in a sedum-covered 'roof', which seamlessly connects to the terrace and garden.

Between the pool and the living room with bar is a spacious lounge area with seating area and built-in TV. The corner of the room is equipped with two accordion sliding doors, for plenty of daylight and direct access to the sunken terrace with a hundred percent privacy.

Via the beautiful and illuminated stairs, flanked by castle-like walls in Cotswold limestone with two symmetrical ponds with lion's head fountains, the garden above is easily accessible. The spacious and sunken terrace has stainless steel drainage gutters and catches no wind or noise at all. The 'castle walls' are covered with various hanging plants and are green in summer.

Next to the sunken terrace is a spacious and luxurious bar with a robust and knotty oak floor, cocktail table, tropical hardwood countertop with sink, programmable LED lighting, stock and glass cabinets, refrigerator, and wine cooler.


INDOOR DOUBLE GARAGE, CARPORT & BIKE SHED

The wide driveway leads left to the illuminated carport, behind the double, lockable gate. Behind the spacious carport is another illuminated bike shed and storage for garden machinery.

Straight ahead is the double indoor garage with electric Hormann tilt door. The light and indoor garage have windows on both sides, a door to the entrance hall, to the utility room, and an external door to the carport. The underfloor heating system is also installed here. There is space for two cars plus a closet wall. On the driveway itself, three to four cars can park.

SURROUNDING GARDEN AND OUTDOOR SPACE

The entire outdoor space is stylishly and classically designed by garden architect Fons Linders (design drawings including planting schedule are available).

The planting is particularly varied in height, width, flowering, and color, with classic boxwood and beech hedges and numerous mature deciduous and coniferous trees. The eye-catcher at the front at the entrance platform is the wind rose executed in Belgian bluestone with LED ground lighting around the plane tree with protective railing.

At the rear, the sound barrier is optimally integrated into the outdoor space, with low-maintenance ground cover, mature trees, tropical hardwood stairs, walkways above and halfway up the slope, an ecological branch wall along the fence, and even a long slide on the slope with artificial turf landing at the bottom. The green whole is popular with useful insects, many birds, squirrels, and hedgehogs.

With French-like castle walls and two water features with lion head wall fountains, the illuminated stairs with intermediate platforms and the basement terrace are stylishly integrated into the outdoor space.

Especially in the summer, the beautifully masonry walls attract attention, thanks to the varied hanging vegetation and the fragrant yellow roses on stem. The gold-colored Cotswold limestone in walls and paving creates a summery, Mediterranean atmosphere.

Just before this sunken area near the patio doors of the living room, there is a spacious seating and dining terrace with complete privacy and an aluminum canopy with an electric louvre roof with lighting and power outlets.

During construction, deliberate choices were made for the best materials, such as natural stone elements, handmade bricks, Geberit toilets, and Villeroy & Boch wall and floor tiles.

To the left around the corner is the meter cupboard. The wall opposite the front door is equipped with two large wall-mounted coat closets. To the left of these is the door to the dining and living room, and to the right is the door to the living kitchen.

The dining and living room have a Z-shape, allowing both functions to be separate yet in open connection. The dining room has many windows with electric shutters and double French doors to the terrace and side garden. The living room also has such doors to the southwest-facing covered and indoor terrace. In the corner of the sitting room, an open wood fireplace has been thoughtfully placed in a straight line towards the opposite corner of the dining room.

There is also access to the spacious work/playroom from the entrance hall, which overlooks the backyard, garage, and driveway. This multifunctional room can be used as a home office, homework and game room, or extra bedroom on the ground floor.

From the entrance hall, to the right is the spacious and bright living kitchen. This overlooks the driveway and towards the front garden with large windows (with electric shutters) above the long countertop. Around the corner, a large pantry has been created under the stairs to the first floor. The long kitchen unit has plenty of storage space in the cabinets and ample workspace on the countertop. Various Miele appliances are built-in: dishwasher, oven, refrigerator, freezer, four-zone induction hob, and stainless steel extractor hood.

The door in the back wall leads to the spacious utility and laundry room. This has its own back door to the driveway, laundry and dryer connections, and a utility sink.

Straight ahead on the landing, to the left is a deep storage cupboard where the solar boiler is installed. To the left is a spacious bedroom 1 with plenty of storage space in the slope of the roof. At the rear is the master bedroom 2 with a view of the backyard and a built-in wardrobe wall on the left.

DETACHED GARAGE WITH DRIVEWAY

Three wells have been drilled tens of meters deep under the driveway, invisibly. These provide the earth's heat and cooling for the heat pump, for heating and cooling the house via the floor system.

The driveway is closed off with a low, double steel gate, set in two brick pillars with lighting and an electric charging point. The long driveway can accommodate at least three cars on private property. The house is accessible via the platform and the back door in the utility room.

At the back of the driveway is the large, detached garage with a wall of cabinets, skylight, double wooden doors, and a drainage channel for rainwater drainage. Even more daylight comes through the back door with a window leading to the backyard.

In the garage is the location of the groundwater pump for garden irrigation. There is plenty of easy space for a car, bicycles, and (garden) tools. Extra solar panels can be installed on the flat roof, facing south.


GARDEN ALL AROUND

The spacious front garden is beautifully landscaped with hedges, a lawn, and a tree, separating the house from the main road. This garden extends to the left as a side garden, leading to the covered terrace on the side and to the backyard.

Thanks to the tall hedges and trees, you'll enjoy plenty of privacy here. The spacious, covered terrace is located to the southwest and is equipped with lighting.

There is a walkway around the entire house, which is convenient for moving in and also for maintenance and window cleaning. Both at the front door and at the back door on the side, there are water and electricity points. Additionally, electricity points have been installed at every corner of the house.


LOCATION AND VIEW

This detached house is located on the outskirts of Berkel-Enschot, with easy access to the A65 highway and Tilburg. At the front, the view is green, with green spaces and tall trees along the A65 exit. Behind and to the side, mature trees and tall hedges around the lawn provide considerable privacy and a green view.


BERKEL-ENSCHOT AND SURROUNDINGS

Until 1996, Berkel-Enschot was an independent municipality, but now it is part of the municipality of Tilburg. Due to its convenient location, there are numerous amenities in education, culture, and catering within easy reach.

This Brabant town is known for its beautiful churches and the splendid Abbey of Our Lady of Koningshoeven. Founded in 1881, this Trappist abbey produces the only Dutch Trappist beer: La Trappe, now part of the Bavaria family of Royal Swinkels Family Brewers.

Currently, the abbey and brewery are being made sustainable, with initiatives such as a biological water purification system, sustainable habits from G-Star RAW, and socially responsible entrepreneurship. The abbey and brewery are actively involved in the community, offering excursions, a tasting room, and a monastery shop.

In this central hall, both the glass passenger elevator and the open wooden internal staircase for the residents of the second floor come together.

The apartment includes two parking spaces on a nearby gated terrain further down. The use of these is without charge, which means you can use them unlimitedly at no cost.

Apartment 2G - Living area

This apartment occupies the entire left side of the floor in the former town hall and is fully equipped with underfloor heating under the light PVC floor in herringbone wood look.

Immediately upon entry, the impressive and bright living and living area is before you. Immediately to the right is the separate toilet with washbasin. Next to it is the laundry storage room, with connections for washing equipment and the mechanical ventilation unit.

The open living area around the open and sleek kitchen has a particularly light and open feel thanks to no less than 9 tall windows with HR++ insulated glass. The entire area can be arranged according to personal preferences in various zones, by playing with, for example, room dividers or (semi) open shelving units. Large indoor plants will also feel comfortable here, as the living area receives morning sun.

The matte black and sleek kitchen is fully equipped with plastic countertops and built-in appliances: a four-burner induction hob, above it the stainless steel design extractor, fridge-freezer combination, dishwasher, and combi-oven. The large island has plenty of storage space on the kitchen side in soft-close and handle-less drawers and on the other side breakfast and bar area. Opposite is the wide block with sink, ample workspace, and built-in appliances.

To the side of the kitchen is the wide and light passage to the two bedrooms and the bathroom. This part has optimal light from the high window at the balcony, which can be replaced by an additional 2nd balcony door if desired and permit-free.

The spacious balcony is almost facing south and is finished with a balustrade and burned bitumen. It offers all the space and possibilities for a lounge set or outdoor dining.

LOCATION AND VIEW

The apartment enjoys a free and charming view of old Lieshout facades, the stately lime trees, and the village square on the Heuvel, the central location of Lieshout.

Originally, the Heuvel was a triangular village green, where centuries ago farmers gathered their cattle to go to communal pastures.

Today, the Heuvel is an authentic village square with a local bus stop, former town hall, catering establishments, and the weekly market. The lively village center is still a triangular square with a bandstand, antique ANWB signpost, and water pump.

The municipality is currently fully engaged in discussions to develop the Heuvel into a welcoming, traffic-calmed, and particularly green meeting place. There are also plans to replace the opposite former Rabobank building with an object that will better fit into the whole.

At the rear, windows and balcony overlook parking spaces, residential care center, residences, and further Bavaria; on the inner courtyard behind the storage rooms, it may be possible to realize two more patio homes with half structures.

This grand villa is a true family home. Thanks to the diversity and abundance of spaces, the villa is ideally suited for a large, (blended) family with multiple children. The villa has been meticulously finished and maintained to perfection. Recently, 34 solar panels have been installed on the roof of the villa and on the roof of the garage.

The current owners have lovingly lived in this spacious forest villa since 1985: "The house had to be suitable for young children at the time, and we wanted various good schools, sports clubs, and facilities nearby. Over the years, we have modernized the house to our own preferences. In 2000, all the floors were replaced. We have renovated a lot, including the garden/dining room and adding a bay window to the front, and throughout the villa, we have had custom-made cabinets and wall units made, such as the many bookcases and shelves in the wine cellar. Recently, we have made the villa more sustainable to energy label A+ to be future-proof in terms of energy consumption.

Their three children have since moved out: "We still love this house, a true family home. The grandchildren love coming here. During the holidays, we were here with sixteen people last year, and everyone stayed overnight. But we have chosen to permanently move to our apartment by the coast.

GROUND FLOOR LIVING AREA

Immediately noticeable upon entry is the beautiful marble floor that runs seamlessly throughout the living area and is equipped with underfloor heating (via the heat pump 2023).

The stately and partly covered entrance is located on a platform and has double doors. Thanks to windows high up in the wall and the closed doors, the spacious entrance hall has all the privacy and yet plenty of daylight. The hall has ample space to receive multiple guests at once. On the right is the door to the indoor double garage, with a deep walk-in closet next to it with an additional refrigerator and freezer and space for provisions.

On the left, the entrance hall has a strikingly light area with a hardwood spiral staircase to the first floor and the passage to the spacious living room. In this hall, a nice work or phone area can be created, with, for example, a secretary. The abundant daylight falls through the large windows in the front and rear facade (rear with sun protection screen). Opposite the staircase, in a spacious niche, is the guest toilet with a natural stone countertop with fountain and the wardrobe. The light hall leads to the equally light and spacious living room. An intimate dining area has now been created at the passage to the kitchen; ideal for breakfast, coffee, or a quick lunch.

At the front is a spacious seating area, near the large windows overlooking the front garden. Here is also an innovative wall unit in cherry wood, with a retractable swivel plate for the TV so it can be turned towards the dining area. The living/seating room has a beautiful open gas fireplace with a marble mantel. The sliding door in the rear facade leads directly to the covered terrace in the backyard.

On the garden side is the access to the slightly sunken garden/dining room with radiators and supporting underfloor heating. This conservatory-like room with optimal daylight has been designed by the current residents themselves, including the beautiful glass pitched roof. This room offers plenty of space for a large dining table, with a beautiful view of the garden through the large, lockable windows and sliding doors with sun protection.

Next to it is the excellently equipped Siematic kitchen, which overlooks the backyard beautifully. Many cabinets and granite countertops are incorporated into two practical L-shaped wall setups. The Siemens appliances have been replaced: built-in refrigerator and freezer, dishwasher, combi oven, and oven. The Bosch electric hob has various zones, allowing large roasting trays to be used.

Under the sliding window, which can be opened, is the one-and-a-half sink. Next to the large window with sun protection screen is the back door to the garden and terrace. If desired, the kitchen can be further opened to the living room by removing the dividing wall.


GROUND FLOOR LIBRARY/STUDY

Beyond the living room, through the double door, is an exceptionally beautiful, cozy, and high library with an adjoining study, exuding the classic and intimate ambiance of a true gentlemen's room. Thanks to the impressive double-story height, the beam construction of the roof remains visible here. The inner wall has been completely transformed into a library, complete with a genuine rail ladder to reach the upper books.

In front of this impressive library wall stands a large, freestanding, wrought iron open fireplace. There is ample space around it to sit back, talk, and enjoy the wood fire and a drink from the corner bar together. The wall of the side facade contains, in addition to the bar, several beautiful niches, for example, for a collection or artworks. The seamless integration of indoor and outdoor living is evident here: the spacious room has two sliding doors to the backyard.

Opposite, down two steps, is the study/home office with three large windows overlooking the front garden. It also features the continuous marble floor of the entire ground floor. This study does not have underfloor heating for a good reason; underneath lies the wine cellar. Therefore, this space has two panel radiators to ensure a pleasant indoor climate at all times. The bookshelves here are custom-made, including a workspace in the corner.


WINE CELLAR

This extremely beautiful cellar was designed by the current owners for their special wine collection. The entrance to the solid hardwood staircase is in the corner of the library-sitting room. The wine tasting cellar has an optimal climate; there is no heating. Custom-made shelves have been made by a cabinetmaker, which beautifully complement the tiled floor. The window well, secured with decorative bars, provides fresh air and indirect daylight.

The climate is constant; therefore, this authentic cellar is very suitable for long-term storage of delicate wines. The beautiful wine collection, featuring numerous top wines and grand crus, is also available for acquisition.


FIRST FLOOR

The wide, beautiful open staircase in two types of wood leads to landing 1 with a loft and a window in the side facade overlooking the garden, garage, and the woods. Bedroom 1 has ample storage space behind the shutters under the sloping roof. There is a window in the side facade as well as a window in the dormer. Bedroom 2 has two windows in the dormer overlooking the front.

In the master bedroom 3 at the front, a large custom-built wardrobe has been made under the sloping roof with a sliding wall. Behind this custom wardrobe is additional storage space, for example, for winter sports equipment and suitcases. And on the other side of the room, a custom sliding wardrobe has also been made. This bedroom has direct access to bathroom 1 and is equipped with an air conditioner (Daikin 2023) for heating and cooling.

This bathroom 1 is equipped with marble floor and wall tiles and towel radiators. It features a bathtub, a shower cabin, double washbasin, and a wall-mounted toilet. The wide window overlooks the garden, ensuring complete privacy.


SECOND FLOOR

The second floor is accessible via the steep fixed staircase. The bright landing 2 has a large window, offering a beautiful view over the backyard. On either side, there are two bedrooms on this floor.

Bedroom 4 and 5 both have a large window and plenty of storage space under the sloping roof. A beautiful slanted window has been installed in the facade.

This floor has its own bathroom 2 with a shower cabin and washbasin.


DOUBLE INDOOR GARAGE & BICYCLE STORAGE/WORKSHOP

From the leafy Boslaan, the entrance is at the electric gate, flanked by brick pillars, with a doorbell and intercom. Beyond the gate is a spacious paved courtyard and access to the double garage with parking spaces on the left and right.

The indoor, double garage with radiators, tiled floor, and electric sectional door is accessible from the entrance hall. There is ample space for two cars and various cabinets. Practical: the utility sink, so water connection and drainage are available. The underfloor heating system is also installed in the garage. Next to the fixed staircase to the wellness attic, there are connections for laundry equipment.

Directly behind the spacious garage, the owners have built a separate bicycle storage/workshop, with a cabinet wall and access door to the side garden. Residents therefore do not need to maneuver bicycles past the parked cars. This heated space is suitable as a workshop and for storing bicycles, gardening tools, and furniture.


WELLNESS FLOOR ABOVE GARAGE

Above the garage, accessible via the fixed, hardwood spiral staircase, is a spacious and bright wellness attic. Here is a spacious sauna for three to six people with a custom-made electric heater, with integrated storage space on both sides.

Thanks to two large Velux skylights in both sloping roofs, this space is particularly light. There is ample space for sports equipment, in addition to the shower and refrigerator. This space can also serve excellently as an extra guest room for visitors.


SURROUNDING GARDEN

The surrounding garden with irrigation is classically landscaped with a beautiful variety of mostly evergreen plants, always excellently maintained. Due to the timeless combination of lawns, flower beds, hedges, shrubs, and trees, the outdoor space seamlessly blends into the surrounding forest. The large lawn is ideal for children and pets to play outdoors. Many birds, rabbits, and squirrels can also often be found here. Privacy is optimal thanks to the fencing around the entire plot, combined with safe and beautiful outdoor lighting with twilight switching.

The wide backyard faces southwest, ensuring sun throughout the afternoon and evening. The mature greenery and trees around it, especially the stately beech, provide shade. They also surround the large and neat lawn, in which a beautiful bronze sculpture (available for acquisition) by artist and bronze caster Jos Dirix is ??featured. Just beyond the majestic beech is another beautiful pond. In the right corner, a sheltered seating area has been created, surrounded by mature greenery.

The more than man-high hedges and other vegetation around camouflage the fencing, which provides privacy and security all around. Behind it runs a walking and jogging path through the woods and the bike path to Geldrop.

Next to the living room and kitchen is a covered terrace with an open wood fireplace and terrace heaters. There is plenty of space to enjoy alfresco lunch or dinner with the whole family.

The neat lawn extends to the side of the villa, next to the garage. There is also a beautiful wooden garden house with a brick bottom and a canopy. The garden house with an area of ??approximately 10 m² can be used for garden machinery and furniture. Hidden from view by yew and Japanese holly hedges, this is also where firewood is stored.


LOCATION AND VIEW

The view here is free, rich, and green. The villa is surrounded by woods, with a forested villa neighborhood on the outskirts of Mierlo.

The continuous and quiet tree-lined avenue is for local traffic only. Yet, you can easily and quickly reach the center of Mierlo on foot or by bike for shopping, groceries, or a cup of coffee.

A half-hour bike ride to Heeze Castle and Heeze through the Braakhuizensche Heide and the Strabrechtse Heide is definitely not a punishment. The Heezerweg and Geldropseweg are nearby, while the A67 motorway is just a fifteen-minute drive away. The location is optimal in relation to Eindhoven and Helmond.


MIERLO AND SURROUNDINGS

Until recently, Mierlo was an independent municipality. After having previously ceded Mierlo-Hout and Brandevoort to Helmond, the village merged with Geldrop to form the new municipality of Geldrop-Mierlo. Mierlo, with approximately 10,000 inhabitants, is the smallest core of the merged municipality.

The Brainport village of Mierlo is known for its cherries, such as the Mierlose Zwarte, which is making a comeback with the help of the IVN. There is De Kersenboerderij, the last full-fledged high-stem orchard in Mierlo. When the cherry trees are in bloom in April, there is even a 16 km IVN bike and cherry blossom route.

A real attraction is Dierenrijk, the zoo near the Gulbergen. The village is also known for the Television Tower, the 105 m high transmission tower on the edge of the Molenheide, which watches over the village like a Big Friendly Giant.

In furnishing the villa, only the very best building materials have been consistently applied. There have been no compromises on comfort and luxury. Optimal daylight and long, beautiful sightlines play an unmistakable role in this atmospheric whole.

The villa is accessible via both the double electric wooden gates to the beautiful driveway and via the wooden pedestrian gate in the fence and hedges towards the front door. Both are set in classic brick pillars and equipped with a videophone system and remote control.

The wide driveway in decorative paving offers ample parking space on private property and leads past the classic front garden to the double garage with pyramidal roof and the elevated platform with the side entrance near the kitchen. The driveway is surrounded by mature greenery, including a beautiful tulip tree.

The stately, double front door with frame is accessible via the paved path through the front garden. The symmetrical entranceway with double hardwood front door opens to the impressive entrance hall, with a natural stone staircase to the first floor and built-in floor-to-ceiling cloakroom closets.

The high hall with halogen ceiling spotlights has a luxurious guest toilet with vanity unit, a meter cupboard, and double floor-to-ceiling doors to the living area. Under the natural stone tiled floor is underfloor heating. The central hall opens with double wooden doors to the living wing with practically seamless laid whitewash oak parquet flooring (partially Hungarian herringbone pattern) combined with natural stone floor tiles.

Straight ahead is the dining room, partly separated by half-open walls. The high windows and panoramic window offer beautiful views of the terrace and park-like garden.

On either side of the entrance hall are two spacious living rooms. The bright living room on the right has designer built-in lighting, three double patio doors, and many large windows, for beautiful views and optimal daylight. This living room has several bay windows plus an open wood-burning fireplace for cozy evenings. The patio doors open to the long, rectangular, and sleek pond.

On the other side of the large kitchen island is the breakfast, coffee, and drinks bar with accompanying bar stools.

Next to the kitchen island is the large cupboard wall with plenty of cupboard space and the American fridge-freezer with ice maker. The Imperial high-pressure steam oven, Imperial combi oven, and warming drawer are integrated into this wall. All cupboard doors are in the same wood type as the high room doors.

By the high windows to the garden is a quiet study, again with double and high doors. This room has air conditioning, two double wall closets, and floor-to-ceiling windows in the side and rear facade that provide inspiring views of the garden.

Directly next to this office space, which is also suitable as a play and homework room, is the descending natural stone staircase to the grand, lower-level basement.

At the large bay window in the living kitchen is the double and room-high door to the vestibule. There is the second natural stone staircase to the first floor. On the left is the door leading to the elevated courtyard at the driveway and the double garage. Next to it is the 2nd toilet on the ground floor.

Around the corner in the vestibule is the semi-open and lowered utility and laundry room. This has built-in laundry equipment connections, a custom-made sink unit with sink, and plenty of cupboard space. The two round windows overlooking the driveway are striking. On the left is the access door to the indoor double garage with attic.


FIRST FLOOR

This floor is accessible via both the beautiful natural stone staircase in the entrance hall and via the natural stone staircase in the vestibule near the living kitchen. The wide landing with plenty of windows spans two wings. The entire floor has air conditioning, halogen built-in lighting, and seamless whitewash oak parquet flooring (partially Hungarian herringbone pattern).

The left wing is for the children. They have four bedrooms and their own bathroom there.

Bedroom 1 has two large windows in the side and rear facade, plus a wall closet. Next to it is (children's) bathroom 1 with double vanity unit and behind the partition wall on either side, a floating toilet and the walk-in shower with rain shower. The whole is equipped with underfloor heating and mechanical ventilation.

Bedroom 2 is on the other side of the second staircase. This room also has a wall closet and a charming oculus window in the plastered niche above the double patio doors to the private balcony on the east.

Next to it is Bedroom 3, which again has two large windows in the front and side facade. At the end of the wide landing is spacious Bedroom 4, with windows in the front and side facade.

In the corner of the landing near this room is the hatch with loft ladder to the large attic. Opposite is a spacious built-in closet.

Immediately to the right of the staircase from the entrance hall is the luxurious and spacious master suite located at the front of the villa.

This grand master bedroom 5 has French doors to the private balcony above the entranceway. Opposite is the atmospheric gas fireplace. To the right is a 2nd balcony with French doors, above the bay window of the living room, which offers beautiful views to the west over the garden and pond. On either side of that are two large walk-in closet rooms with custom-built closets.

The double doors next to the gas fireplace lead to the spacious bathroom 2. This is extremely luxurious with a freestanding designer bathtub under the large windows, the spacious walk-in shower with rain shower, and a floating toilet in the niche on the left. On either side of the double doors are two designer washbasins on wall cabinets. This bathroom also has underfloor heating and mechanical ventilation.


SECOND FLOOR

The large attic is accessible via the hatch with the loft ladder in the corner of the landing near Bedroom 4. There, the central heating boiler (Vaillant VHR 2018) and two electric 120-liter boilers for hot water are installed. The attic has plenty of storage space under the sloping roof all around and at standing height.


BASEMENT

The spacious basement of approximately 140 m² can be reached via the natural stone staircase between the living kitchen and the study. The stairwell optically divides the largest open space below into two parts. Beyond the wall is the multifunctional or relaxation room, with mirror wall and custom interior closet wall. This space is ideal for, for example, a private bar, home cinema, game room, or chill space for young people. On the other side of the stairs is a wide corridor. Alongside are the recently renewed kitchenette, the Turkish steam bath with shower, and the luxurious 5th toilet.

Beyond the kitchenette in the basement, there is another large space with four integrated custom corner closets with double doors for plenty of storage space. This space is currently used as a home gym for the whole family. The possibilities are numerous, such as a wine and tasting cellar, for example. The patio doors on the other side of the corridor provide access to the sunken outdoor terrace with guaranteed 100% privacy; the ideal place for a jacuzzi, for example. The walls have recently been re-clad with wood. This terrace is connected to the rear garden and the outdoor swimming pool via the natural stone outdoor staircase with stainless steel railing.


DOUBLE GARAGE WITH ATTIC

On the left side of the grand plot is the double indoor garage. This is built in cavity wall construction, fully insulated, and equipped with a tiled floor with underfloor heating and double, separately operable electric sectional doors.

The garage has a window in the side facade and opposite it, a pedestrian door to the side garden. On the right is the access door to the utility room in the villa with adjoining vestibule to the living kitchen.

In style and architecture, the double garage seamlessly matches the villa. This allows for an extra attic space under the pyramidal roof, with plenty of storage space under the sloping roof and at standing height.


LOCATION AND VIEW

The Koekoeksbos villa district is located next to the Wilhelminakanaal, within easy cycling and walking distance of the center of Best and the railway station. Meeslaan itself is a dead-end street and is therefore particularly low in traffic.
