Sint Martinushof 26691 ZZ GendtCentrum Gendt

Living at the intersection of history and contemporary design Some houses are more than an address – they carry a soul. At Sint Martinushof in Gendt, in the centre of the former Martinus Church’s atrium, stands such a home. Where the choir and altar once stood, an exceptionally stylish residence now blends history, architecture and modern comfort with effortless ease. From the outside, the stately contours of the old church remain unmistakable: warm brickwork, elegant arches, and the slender tower rising as a familiar silhouette above the courtyard. But step inside, and everything changes. The light, the height, the serenity – it feels as if architecture has been reinvented here. This is not a conventional home, but a carefully crafted living space where character and luxury enhance one another. A place where, every day, you feel what it means to live extraordinarily – in a monumental setting, yet with all the comforts of modern living. Light, space, and timeless elegance The large arched opening at the front – once a symbol of devotion – now draws daylight deep into the house. The ground floor is the vibrant heart of the home: a spacious, inviting kitchen-living area where cooking, dining and living naturally flow together. Sleek design meets warm atmosphere. The kitchen features a generous island with integrated Bora extraction, high-end appliances including a Quooker with Cube sparkling-water system, and abundant natural light from the tall front windows. By day, the space is buzzing with life – breakfast in the morning sun, dinner with views of the garden courtyard. The polished concrete floor, custom-built elements, floor-to-ceiling pivot door and the blend of original shapes with contemporary design give the interior a timeless sense of quality. Comfort on every level The house spans four full living floors, all connected by a private lift, plus a large basement and practical attic. Every floor offers underfloor heating with two independently controlled zones, as well as mechanical balanced ventilation with Heat Recovery Ventilation (HRV) system – ensuring comfort and energy efficiency throughout. First floor – the formal living room A calm and bright space with elegant architectural lines and subtle references to the church’s original structure, such as the arched windows fitted with custom shutters. A small pantry means you never have to go downstairs for coffee or a glass of wine – a thoughtful touch that elevates everyday comfort. Second floor – flexibility and privacy Two bedrooms, one with an en-suite bathroom including shower and washbasin. Perfect for guests, home office, or hobby space. The larger room also features bespoke shutters in the arched windows. Light, tranquillity and functional layout make this floor an integral part of the home’s comfort. Third floor – the master retreat The top floor hosts the master suite: a serene bedroom with arched windows and a sense of peace, alongside a modern bathroom with luxurious shower, freestanding bathtub, double washbasin with heated mirror, and underfloor heating. The layout is thoughtfully designed to stay cool in summer and warm in winter, supported by intelligent climate regulation. This floor also includes a practical utility/storage room with connections for laundry and the Duco HRV system. Attic Accessible via a retractable staircase, neatly finished, equipped with electricity (including high-power connection) and internet – ideal for storage, technical equipment or future creative use. Basement (bonus) More than three metres high and completely dry. This double-sized space offers endless possibilities: a wine cellar, private cinema, fitness area with sauna – or simply an exceptionally large storage and provisions room. Historic soul, modern spirit Throughout the house, subtle references to the past remain: pillars from the former nave, the arched forms of the choir, and even the contours of the old pews that now define the courtyard garden. The courtyard garden itself is a quiet oasis – professionally landscaped, equipped with an automated irrigation system, and maintained collectively by the residents of the adjacent apartments. You enjoy the view, without the maintenance. Location Sint Martinushof is located on the edge of Gendt’s village centre, with shops, cafés and daily amenities just a short walk away. At the same time, you’re only fifteen minutes from Nijmegen or Arnhem. Ideal for expats, commuters and professionals seeking tranquillity without losing connection to city life. Key Details ?
