A place where residents enjoy full living comfort. With three bedrooms, two bathrooms, office space, and a cozy outdoor terrace in the heart of Den Bosch, this is a place for everyone. Especially for those whose hearts beat faster at the thought of ultimate comfort in the city center.

Orthenstraat is an atmospheric, surprisingly quiet street, free from bus traffic, in the heart of ’s-Hertogenbosch. Surrounded by characteristic buildings, the street is part of the historic city center, known as one of the most beautiful in the Netherlands. Featuring icons like the Sint-Jan, the beautiful Binnendieze, and many museums the city has to offer.

Orthenstraat is the perfect place to live, as residents experience only the city's pleasures. It’s the ideal mix of city vibrancy and a peaceful environment, with everything within walking distance. The Uilenburg and Korte Putstraat are close by, with trendy eateries, restaurants, and terraces. At the edge of the city center are the Zuiderpark and ‘t Bossche Broek.

A wealth of nature in the form of a beautiful nature reserve is endless for cycling and walking. “In the heart of the city, we handle small groceries, doctor’s appointments, childcare, primary school, and the dentist on foot. All supermarkets deliver to the front door, and the highway is just a few minutes away.”

SUSTAINABILITY

This city villa was optimally insulated in 2020/2021 and has an energy label A (valid until 2034). The roof was completely renewed and equipped with insulated roof panels. The floors are insulated with expanded polystyrene, and the facades are fitted with PIR boards.

For heating, the house uses a Nefit HR combi boiler, supported by underfloor heating as the main heating on all floors. There is also air conditioning for heating, ventilation, and cooling, making the indoor climate always pleasant. To further increase energy efficiency, almost all windows are fitted with double and high-efficiency glass.

A city villa with New York allure created with passion and precision. High-end and warm, with complete home automation, custom interior, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, office space, and an outdoor terrace. Ultimate comfort in the heart of Den Bosch.

2. City Vibrancy and Peace
Orthenstraat is an atmospheric, remarkably quiet one-way street, free from bus traffic in the historic city center. Residents enjoy city vibrancy without the hassle. Trendy Uilenburg is within walking distance, and the Het Bossche Broek nature reserve is close at hand.

3. Indoor Parking
The car lift is a surprising eye-catcher. The system allows for indoor parking for two cars, unique in the city center. Bonus: it’s not necessary to move one car outside to make room for the other.

4. Multifunctional Basement
The basement is an ideal addition to the upper floors. It is multifunctional and can be used as a home office or extra living space in the form of an exhibition space, gym, or relaxation area.

LAYOUT - ENTRANCE WITH INDOOR PARKING SYSTEM
Step inside, experience the unique entrance, and immediately come face to face with two indoor parked cars. The characteristic facade gives no hint that an auto lift greets you upon entry. It might be the biggest surprise of this lovely city villa. The safe, luxurious, and space-saving parking system allows parking for two cars indoors. About a hundred years ago, Orthenstraat 75 housed a garage for the fire department.

The double doors, the height upon entry, and a photo from that period remind us of those times. Today, this same space still serves as a garage. “Was it a childhood dream? It was mainly our wish to live in the city center with ample parking space as an absolute requirement. We found that in this house. While some neighbors walk fifteen minutes to their parking spots, we drive our cars inside in no time,” says the homeowner. The presence of an advanced camera system ensures safety. Another plus: there is no need to move one car outside to make room for the other. Due to the height (over four meters) and the presence of a basement, one car can be parked indoors while making room for the other.

RECEPTION AREA, BASEMENT WITH OFFICE AND GYM
A few steps up, it’s an experience to walk straight toward the custom bar. A real experience, because a bundle of light in the form of an elegant indoor garden beckons on the left. A central light point in this city villa, essential for creating ambiance on each floor with optimal daylight entry. In its current form, the bar serves multiple functions. Those working from home in the basement pause and enjoy a well-deserved latte macchiato. After a workout, one can drink water and make an ultimate recovery drink, and the best aperitifs and digestifs are served here during home dinners. Let ideas and possibilities calmly pass in review. The beautiful staircase downstairs leads to the basement—a space to work, study, or exercise.

FIRST FLOOR - LIVING KITCHEN
Take the stairs up, and the custom cabinets from the bar/reception area return in the same style on the first floor. The wall hides the staircase from view and also offers a lot of extra storage space. Light and spaciousness are adjectives that describe this floor well. The indoor garden plays a significant role in this. But also look at the wide, ceiling-high sliding door in the living kitchen. What an enormous amount of daylight! The timeless custom kitchen consists of a large island and a cabinet wall, executed in the same luxurious and natural materials. It creates unity, tranquility, and a warm and stylish look. The island includes a sink area with Quooker and a work area with an integrated dishwasher and Bora cooktop. The kitchen is complete in terms of built-in appliances, from the refrigerator and freezer to a coffee machine and a combi microwave/oven. Naturally, there is ample storage space for kitchen essentials in the wall and around the kitchen island. Cooking enthusiasts will love it here.

FIRST FLOOR - OUTDOOR TERRACE
Due to the presence of the glass sliding door, the terrace is literally an extension of the living kitchen. Open the door, sit on the lounge bench, and the city center of ’s-Hertogenbosch feels miles away. Near the bustling heart of the city, traffic is barely audible here. You hear birds and distant sounds of children playing outside. In spring and summer, the lime trees ensure complete privacy and a green touch. Residents enjoy the spring sun on this spot.

FIRST FLOOR - LIVING ROOM
Follow the sightline from the kitchen, past the custom cabinet wall, and discover the living room at the front of the house. A place where the current residents love to spend their time. “Due to the amount of light and spaciousness. It’s hard to imagine that this floor once consisted of five small rooms. Together with our architect, we recreated the space and optimized it. We thought about every detail, from the home automation to the sightlines, the lighting plan, and styling with an interior architect and the lady of the house. Lofts in New York were an inspiration.” The openness typical of these city houses also characterizes the living room. The indoor garden contributes to the loft-like setting. The living room and kitchen are distinctly separate but connected.

SECOND FLOOR
Behind the custom cabinet wall is the staircase. A seemingly hidden door leads to the hallway with stairs to the second floor. ‘Comfort and luxury’ are the keywords for this top living floor. Here, too, a large custom cabinet wall has been realized, providing much more extra storage space. This floor has three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a separate toilet. The bedroom at the front features custom cabinets and an integrated desk. The smallest bedroom, adjacent to the indoor garden, is also perfect as a walk-in closet and offers access to a small storage attic.

The master bedroom, with its loft-like layout, feels like a luxurious hotel suite. The beautiful en suite bathroom is clearly separated from the bedroom. This bathroom is symmetrically designed with identical sinks on both sides. Opposite—in the middle—is the bathtub with the walk-in shower behind it. The soft, natural colors and materials create a wellness feeling at the end of the day. The toilet is separately housed on this floor. The second bathroom on this floor is smaller and features the same natural tones and materials, with a walk-in shower and sink.

HISTORY
In 2001, this former fire department garage at Orthenstraat 75 was renovated, including a new roof and cleaning up the stall for the first Den Bosch fire engines.

The former fire station also served as a garage for the mayor’s car. After a restoration in 2006, the hall became a location for a Den Bosch artist.

In the 1930s, during the construction of the fire station, Orthenstraat 75 was also adapted to a regional command post. A new facade was added, and the alley was closed.
