Description
Dr. Batenburglaan 178a – where character, comfort and sustainability come together
Imagine living in a former Marechaussee service residence, with a history that dates back to the last century. But step inside, and you enter a completely different world—one where comfort, sustainability and modern-day living are perfectly integrated. In 2020, this characterful home was fully transformed to meet today’s standards—and you’ll notice it in every detail. From underfloor heating and cooling to solar panels and an A+++ energy label: this is not only a stylish and spacious home, but also one that’s future-ready.
Welcome to Dr. Batenburglaan 178a in Breda – a unique piece of history, beautifully reimagined.
A place with history and future
This home is located on a quiet, tree-lined street, once part of the historic Marechaussee barracks. Originally built with durability and practicality in mind, the 2020 transformation gave it a luxurious and comfortable appearance. At the same time, the original architecture has been carefully preserved – offering the best of both worlds.
What stands out immediately is the peaceful setting. The street is wide and green, lined with mature trees and exudes a stately charm. You live in a lovely residential neighborhood here, within walking distance of the Mastbos forest, while still being just minutes away from Breda’s city center and major highways. The perfect base for your daily life—and a wonderful place to come home to.
Space to live—and to work
Step inside, and you’ll instantly feel that this house is something special. The ground floor is generously proportioned, with high ceilings, large windows and a sleek finish that create a bright and inviting atmosphere.
The living room and open kitchen form the vibrant heart of the home. The space is cleverly arranged: there’s ample room for a large sofa and dining table, and thanks to its garden-facing position, the area is bathed in natural light. The floor is equipped with underfloor heating and cooling—warm in winter, refreshingly cool in summer, and completely radiator-free for a clean look.
The open kitchen is a real showstopper. You’ll cook here at a spacious cooking and sink island, with plenty of workspace and high-quality built-in appliances. While you cook, your guests can gather at the island with a good glass of wine. Cooking, dining and socializing flow seamlessly together in this space.
At the front of the house, there’s a separate room ideal as a home office, workspace or playroom. Its location facing the street offers a pleasant view and plenty of privacy from the main living areas. Perfect for a home practice too, as visitors won’t need to pass through your private living space.
Five bedrooms, two bathrooms, and plenty of privacy
Take the stairs to the first floor and you’ll find two spacious bedrooms, each bright and airy—ready to be styled as a child’s room, guest room or office. Like the rest of the house, these rooms feature underfloor heating for added comfort and a tidy, uncluttered feel.
The bathroom on this floor is sleek and modern, complete with a walk-in shower, bathtub and vanity unit. Thanks to the smart layout, several family members can get ready at the same time—perfect during the morning rush. There’s also a separate toilet on this floor for extra convenience.
The second floor surprises once more with its generous space. Here, you’ll find three more spacious bedrooms—ideal for growing kids, hobbies, or as a master suite. The high ceilings and exposed beams add a charming touch. A second full bathroom is also located here, fitted with a shower, washbasin and toilet. Which means: no more waiting in line for the bathroom, even with a large family.
Whether you live as a couple or with a family of six, this home adapts effortlessly to your needs.
Sustainable living with A+++
What truly sets this home apart is its impressive A+++ energy label. Thanks to the comprehensive 2020 renovation, this property is built for the future. The façades, floors and roof have all been expertly insulated, and the entire home is equipped with a heat pump system that provides both heating and cooling. The underfloor heating and cooling can be individually controlled in each room, so you always enjoy the perfect indoor climate.
Solar panels on the roof generate much of the home's energy needs—not only good for the planet, but also for your wallet. The combination of energy-efficient systems, top-level insulation and renewable energy makes this house a rare green gem.
Enjoy the sun – southwest-facing garden
And then there's the garden. Because outdoors, it’s just as enjoyable. The backyard faces southwest, which means sun in the afternoon and evening. Perfect for relaxing after work, catching up with friends over drinks, or having a long barbecue on warm summer nights.
The garden is neatly landscaped, combining greenery, terraces and privacy. There’s plenty of room for a lounge set, a large outdoor dining table or children’s play equipment. And if you love gardening, you’ll find this a sunny paradise to indulge your green thumb.
A back entrance adds convenience—ideal for parking bikes or bringing in groceries. And thanks to the deep position of the house from the street, you enjoy peace and privacy in your outdoor haven.
The location: quiet yet connected
Dr. Batenburglaan 178a lies in a quiet, spacious street with plenty of greenery and a pleasant residential feel. You're just a short bike ride from the center of Princenhage, the Mastbos forest and the scenic Markdal area. The neighborhood is popular among families and couples who value comfort, accessibility and space.
Nearby, you'll find schools, sports facilities and shops. The A16 and A27 motorways are easily accessible, putting cities like Rotterdam, Antwerp and Utrecht within quick reach. Public transport is also well-organized. In short: a prime location for anyone looking for peace without sacrificing convenience or space.
A unique opportunity
Dr. Batenburglaan 178a is far from ordinary. It’s a home with a story, full of character and finished to an exceptional standard. Thanks to its 2020 transformation, it meets all modern requirements—and then some. You’ll enjoy luxurious features, abundant space, and extremely energy-efficient living.
With five bedrooms, two bathrooms, a generous living room with open kitchen, a home office and a sunny garden, this is the ideal family home. But it’s also perfect for working from home or hosting guests regularly.
In short: are you looking for a unique, sustainable and spacious home in a prime Breda location? Then this is your chance.
