Comfortable in Location, Space, and Sustainability!
This spacious family home on Gerrit den Braberlaan in Eindhoven-Acht appears modest from the outside, yet inside it is wonderfully surprising and exceptionally comfortable.

The result is a beautiful blend of authenticity, modern comfort, and sustainability.

GROUND FLOOR – LIVING ROOM
Light, lighter, lightest. Even on a less sunny day, daylight floods in from the rear façade. With nearly ten meters of ceiling-high glass, residents experience first-hand what it means for indoors and outdoors to merge seamlessly. Here, the garden truly becomes an extension of both the living room and the kitchen.
“We have never lived anywhere with so much natural light. With the wonderful view of the garden, and the seamless underfloor heating and cooling throughout the ground floor, the temperature is always comfortable. This is exactly what we wanted when designing this living space. I love sitting in the sunny corner at the front, or relaxing on the sofa with views across the garden, all while staying connected with family in the home.”
The residents will especially miss the ground floor.
“And the spaciousness. Every room is generous, and everyone has their own private spot – a huge plus when raising children.”
GROUND FLOOR – KITCHEN & UTILITY ROOM
Luxury. Modern. Timeless. Practical. These words best describe the custom-designed kitchen. Add in the fantastic garden view, and cooking here feels like a celebration every day.
The kitchen consists of two parts: the cooking area with induction hob and ‘BORA downdraft system,’ integrated into a mid-century natural stone countertop, and… a phenomenal garden view.
“With a view like this, I never complain while cooking,” says the lady of the house, laughing.
Family and guests often gather at the bar to chat and snack while someone cooks.
Opposite, a wall with built-in appliances, a coffee corner, and ample storage space makes the kitchen not just stylish, but also practical. The adjacent utility room – fitted with floor-to-ceiling bespoke cabinetry – maximizes storage and gives access to the garage, where the heat pump is located.
GROUND FLOOR – BEDROOM & BATHROOM
The spacious bedroom and bathroom on the ground floor make this villa suitable for all life stages. This space is equally ideal as a relaxation room or guest suite. The luxurious bathroom features a walk-in shower, floating toilet, and washbasin, in the same neutral tones as the rest of the home.
GROUND FLOOR – HOME OFFICE
Beyond the kitchen, behind the ten-meter glass wall, lies a quiet home office. A perfect spot to work or study in peace while enjoying the garden views. It could also serve as a hobby room, playroom, or extra guest room – the possibilities are endless.
FIRST FLOOR – BEDROOMS & SECOND BATHROOM
The bespoke staircase in the hallway leads to the first floor, where the light increases with every step.
This floor underwent the most extensive transformation during the renovation. The entire roof was replaced, the layout redesigned, and wide dormers installed, creating over 30 m² of additional space and flooding the floor with daylight.
Now the first floor features three large bedrooms, a laundry room, and a second spacious bathroom. Underfloor heating and cooling add year-round comfort. Each room has its own character, with rear-facing rooms enjoying views of the garden.
Bathroom two, in the same style as the ground-floor bathroom, is spacious and luxurious, with a walk-in rain shower, freestanding bathtub, double washbasins, and a third floating toilet.
GARDEN & OUTDOOR SPACE
Step outside through the sliding doors and enjoy the green oasis. The enclosed southwest-facing garden is beautifully landscaped with a mix of mature planting, grassy lawn, and several terraces for sun or shade.
“We deliberately created multiple seating areas so we can choose sun or shade, or enjoy the covered terrace by the house, which is perfect even on cooler evenings.”
The lawn makes the garden low-maintenance and child-friendly, offering a safe outdoor play area.
LOCATION & SURROUNDINGS
Only local traffic passes along Gerrit den Braberlaan, making it a quiet street where birdsong and neighborly chats are common. Situated in the sought-after Acht neighborhood, this villa offers a tranquil, green setting.
The front overlooks a beautifully landscaped garden and other elegant homes, while the rear offers full privacy in the enclosed backyard.
Nearby are nature reserves, sports, and recreational opportunities, including Philips de Jonghpark, De Wielewaal estate, and the Philips Fruittuin farm shop. The International School and PSV Campus are close by, combining tranquility with activity. Amenities are plentiful, and the nearest motorway is just five minutes away.
