A HOME WITH HISTORY, CHARACTER AND SPACE At Johannes van Eindhovenstraat 20, in the heart of Eindhoven's highly sought-after Irisbuurt neighbourhood, you will find a charming and well-maintained 1930s home with a remarkable story to tell. Originally built in 1931 and partially rebuilt around 1950 following the Second World War, this property is a little piece of Eindhoven's history, combining the charm of the past with the comforts of modern living. Beautiful original sliding doors, period details and warm wooden floors create an authentic and welcoming atmosphere. At the rear, a bright extension and a leafy south-facing garden provide a wonderful sense of space and tranquillity. Offering 109 m² of living space, a 110 m² plot, three bedrooms and a dedicated workspace, this is a lovely home for anyone who appreciates history, character and possibilities. THE IRISBUURT – A NEIGHBOURHOOD WITH A STORY TO TELL The Irisbuurt neighbourhood was developed in the 1930s on what was known as the Iristerrein, at a time when Eindhoven was rapidly growing as an industrial city. The neighbourhood has a special connection to Henri van Abbe's former Karel I cigar factory. The history of this particular house is also closely intertwined with the factory. Today, Irisbuurt is a welcoming residential neighbourhood with a strong sense of community. Local community centre De Blokhut regularly organises activities, while the shared community garden brings neighbours together. Families will appreciate the green play areas nearby, as well as the convenient access to schools, childcare facilities and a supermarket. Eindhoven city centre is also within easy walking or cycling distance. A wonderful place where the city's history can still be felt and everyday life unfolds in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. PROPERTY LAYOUT GROUND FLOOR – CHARACTER, LIGHT AND CONNECTION Step through the distinctive blue front door into the entrance hall, featuring original terrazzo flooring, a white wooden staircase, the meter cupboard, practical under-stairs storage and access to the guest toilet. At the front of the property, the inviting living room features a large window that allows plenty of natural daylight to flow in. The warm wooden flooring and light-coloured walls create a calm and welcoming setting, with ample space for a comfortable seating area and, if desired, a home office corner. The original panelled doors, featuring authentic Byzantine-patterned glass, are a beautiful reminder of the property's rich history. One of the home's most distinctive features can be found between the living room and dining room: the original glazed sliding doors. When opened, they create a beautiful uninterrupted view from the front of the house all the way through to the garden. Close them, and the living room becomes a cosy, separate retreat. A wonderful original detail that offers both character and flexibility. Other authentic features have also been carefully preserved throughout the house, including the distinctive Bakelite Philite door handles manufactured by Philips. Towards the rear, the property opens up into a surprisingly spacious and light-filled living area. Thanks to the extension added in 2013, this part of the house now offers a generous dining room with an open-plan kitchen. The dining area easily accommodates a large dining table, making it perfect for everyday family meals or entertaining friends. Two skylights and wide windows with French doors flood the room with natural light and create a seamless connection to the garden. On sunny days, simply open the doors and enjoy the effortless flow between indoor and outdoor living. The open-plan kitchen has a bold, industrial-inspired design. A long cast-concrete worktop, white cabinet fronts, black handles and striking black-and-white patterned flooring combine to create a contemporary look. The kitchen is equipped with a gas hob, extractor hood, sink and dishwasher. Together, the bright dining area, open kitchen and characterful living room make the ground floor an inviting place to cook, gather and unwind. FIRST FLOOR – TWO BEDROOMS, BATHROOM AND LAUNDRY ROOM The white wooden staircase leads to the first floor, where you will find two bedrooms, a spacious bathroom and a separate laundry room. The bedroom at the rear is a pleasant, light-filled space with room for a double bed and wardrobe. It also benefits from an additional built-in storage cupboard. The second bedroom, situated at the front of the house, is currently used as a children's bedroom. It offers plenty of room for sleeping, playing and studying, as well as additional storage and a flexible layout. The bathroom is particularly spacious and features a corner shower with a glass screen, a washbasin, a wall-mounted toilet and a designer radiator. Warm orange and cream-coloured wall tiles give the room its own distinctive character. A window provides natural light and ventilation. There is also a separate laundry room with washing machine connections, space for an ironing board and practical storage facilities. An additional storage cupboard can be found on the landing. Fermacell floor panels have been installed on this level to improve sound insulation. SECOND FLOOR – ADDITIONAL SPACE FOR LIVING, WORKING AND STORAGE A permanent staircase leads to the second floor, which provides approximately 20.6 m² of additional living space. Here you will find the third bedroom, a bright and airy room with a high ceiling, a large window and practical storage space beneath the sloping roof. Currently arranged as a children's bedroom, this versatile space could also be used for other purposes, such as a hobby room. On the spacious landing, a comfortable workspace has been created beside the window. An ideal spot for anyone who regularly works from home or needs a quiet place to study. Practical storage has also been thoughtfully incorporated throughout this floor, including fitted cupboards and storage beneath the sloping roof. As on the first floor, Fermacell floor panels have been installed to improve sound insulation. GARDEN – YOUR OWN GREEN RETREAT From the dining room, French doors open directly onto the south-facing rear garden. Mature greenery creates a wonderfully sheltered and private atmosphere. Climbing ivy along the garden boundaries, a plant-covered pergola and natural wooden elements give this outdoor space a peaceful, green character. The garden is largely paved, making it easy to maintain, while still providing plenty of room for a generous outdoor dining table or a comfortable lounge area. Whether you are enjoying a quiet breakfast, reading a good book or spending a long summer evening with friends and family, this is a lovely place to relax. At the rear of the garden, a detached wooden shed of approximately 5 m² provides convenient storage for bicycles, gardening equipment and other belongings. The garden also benefits from rear access, and electrical wiring has been installed for outdoor lighting. A surprisingly peaceful and green retreat, just a short distance from the lively heart of Eindhoven. PARKING The street is subject to a municipal parking permit scheme. The current residents hold two residential parking permits and one visitor permit. The availability of permits for new residents depends on the municipality's applicable regulations and eligibility requirements.
