4-bed house with garden, Kapellen

Essenhout was originally a rural hamlet on the border between Hoevenen and Kapellen. At the beginning of the 19th century, the area was officially transferred to Kapellen, after which the road through the former woodland was named Essenhoutstraat. Number 212 sits barely 700 metres from the village centre: shops, restaurants, the historic town hall, and the railway station are all within walking distance. Not only has the property itself undergone a comprehensive total renovation, but the adjacent site of the LUX cultural centre has also been recently updated. The home is delivered completely turn-key. The materials and lighting schemes have been meticulously coordinated down to the finest detail: from integrated light fittings and refined door furniture to feature recess lighting and a travertine kitchen worktop. On the ground floor, the living area and bespoke kitchen form one open-plan space. The kitchen comes fully equipped with high-end integrated appliances and leads into a practical pantry for storage and provisions (or for temporarily stowing away a bothersome husband). The garden connects directly to the living space and benefits from a private side entrance, ensuring bicycles and rubbish bins never need to pass through the house. The first floor hosts the master bedroom and a bathroom with the feel of a private spa. A quick shower before work, a warm freestanding bath after the working day. Indirect mood lighting on, work mode off, into bed, aircon on. All in any order you like, of course. Tucked under the eaves of the top floor are three further proper bedrooms, each also fitted with air conditioning. The exposed pitch of the roof enhances the sense of space and openness here.
