The living experience is exceptionally pleasant all year round due to the abundance of daylight combined with the green surroundings.
LIVING WING
From the beautiful entrance with skylight, utility meter cabinet, custom wardrobe closet, and toilet, to the left is the living wing. The bright and cozy living room can be optionally equipped with air conditioning (prepared in the utility room), an additional TV (preparation in the wall to the utility room), and a gas fireplace (special gas line to the long side wall already laid). The open-plan living kitchen and the two double garden doors now house a bright dining room, while the delightful sitting area is at the front. The custom living kitchen by Steegaa Interior features a large island with a Dekton countertop from Cosentino, which also covers the extra deep countertop in the kitchen unit. The island includes the oven, prepared for an additional and larger oven with a warming drawer; an extra group is provided in the meter cabinet, also for a Quooker.
The adjoining utility room, which can be closed off with a practical sliding door, features a spacious custom-built closet wall and an extra deep sink. It also provides space for a double freestanding fridge-freezer combination and a wine cooler.
WORK-SLEEP WING
With two offices, a combined wardrobe room with an adjacent laundry room, a spacious master suite with a luxurious bathroom and sauna, and a second bedroom with an adjacent second bathroom.
TWO OFFICES/MULTIFUNCTIONAL ROOMS
The first, larger office/workroom is an independent workspace. This space has its own toilet and entrance on the right side wall, making it possible to establish a home office for free professions. The luxurious kitchenette around the corner with a sink and refrigerator is a delightful spot to make a nice cup of coffee. In the front hallway of the office space, there is a large built-in closet with the meter cabinet, the mechanical ventilation unit, and the central heating combi boiler. The second office near the front door overlooks the front garden, has a beautiful skylight, a fixed closet wall with ample storage space, and is directly accessible from the reception hall.
The two luxurious home offices are multifunctional and can, of course, also serve as extra bedrooms as desired. The larger office/workroom is particularly suitable as, for example, a studio for a live-in nanny or a family member in need of care, with its own sanitary facilities.
WARDROBE AND LAUNDRY ROOM
The large walk-in wardrobe with a skylight offers plenty of space for wardrobe cabinets. The adjacent laundry room is equipped with connections for a washing machine and dryer at ergonomic height and provides additional storage possibilities.
MASTER SUITE AND BEDROOM 2 WITH SECOND BATHROOM
The luxurious master suite is spacious. This garden-oriented room with custom interior wardrobe wall by Steega Interior has two double garden doors leading to the garden and pool. In the spacious bathroom 1 with double sink unit, walk-in shower with rain shower, there is also the large and custom-built combined infrared-traditional sauna. The bright and spacious bedroom 2, also garden-oriented, has two double garden doors and its own adjacent bathroom with a skylight, sink unit, and freestanding Albion bathtub.
DRIVEWAY WITH DOUBLE CARPORT
On the wide driveway with ornamental gravel and under the double carport with lockable garden gate and charger for electric cars, there is parking space for several cars. The entrance to the driveway is prepared for an electric gate.
OUTDOOR SPACE WITH COVERED TERRACE AND HEATED POOL
The particularly deep front garden is green and surrounded by hedges. The beautifully landscaped rear garden facing southwest with a terrace at the double garden doors provides a permanent green view throughout the year directly behind the fence with gate with stately trees, meadows, and behind it the protected Coovels Forest. The entire backyard is securely fenced and offers a sense of tranquility.
The covered lounge and dining terrace of thirty square meters with a view of the pool is a true outdoor room with a travertine floor. Preparations have already been made for an outdoor kitchen (gas, water) and terrace heating (power points and an extra group). Terrace and pool have 100% privacy.
The pool (2021) with lounge terrace and outdoor shower has an automatic solar PVC cover that can be controlled via the Control4 home automation system. The heat pump ensures heated water, which is installed silently against the property boundary. The DA-GEN Aqua computer in the storage room with pool equipment monitors the high water quality with electrolysis, requiring minimal chlorine for a pleasant swimming experience every day.
LOCATION AND VIEW
Both the location and the view can be summed up in one word: magnificent. The bungalow is located on the outskirts of Helmond and the Kroon neighborhood. Burgemeester Krollaan is a fairly quiet street with many mature deciduous trees and detached houses with mature gardens.
At the back, the view remains unobstructed over green fields (orchard and meadows) and the biodiverse Coovels Forest with rare flora and fungi, where it is lovely to walk. The bungalow offers a perfect indoor-outdoor experience thanks to direct contact with the garden and landscape. Regular sightings include deer, hedgehogs, squirrels, and a variety of birds.
HELMOND AND SURROUNDINGS
The Kroon neighborhood in the Brainport municipality of Helmond - the well-known Automotive Campus is just a 650 m walk away - has a rural character. Nevertheless, Kroon benefits from the proximity to cultural centers such as De Cacaofabriek, theater Het Speelhuis, and Pathé Helmond cinema, as well as the Elkerliek Hospital, excellent dining options, and a wide range of shops. Helmond has no fewer than four NS train stations.
The rural location is also remarkably central: Brandevoort, Nuenen, and Eindhoven are quickly and easily accessible, as well as highways A67, A2, and A50. The fast cycling route Helmond-Nuenen-Eindhoven is just a few hundred meters away.
