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.
