Hoofdstraat 25171 DD KaatsheuvelCentrum

WOW. That was the first thing that came to mind as I drove up to Hoofdstraat 2 in Kaatsheuvel. A stately, imposing building that proudly reflects its rich history. Once built as the village’s Boerenleenbank (local farmers’ bank), it now stands as a characterful manor house with endless possibilities. And the space—what a space! With 278 m² of living area, fully used as a home but with the potential to become so much more... Want to combine living and working? Start a Bed and Breakfast? Open your own practice, studio, or home office? This property is ready for it. Spacious, versatile, and above all, inspiring. Where once savings were kept safe, you now live in style. Built in 1958 as the financial heart of Kaatsheuvel, this property breathes history. The original bank vault is still present—now a charming bar, though it could easily be transformed into a wine cellar, music studio, or man cave. And yes, there’s even a basement with standing height, perfect for storage. From the robust front door with decorative ironwork to the authentic interior details—this house has stories to tell. Yet it still feels modern and comfortable. Upon entering, the high ceilings on the ground floor immediately stand out, giving the hallway a wonderfully spacious feel. Here you’ll find the renovated restroom with a small sink, the meter cupboard, and the staircase. The bright, spacious living room with an open fireplace and sliding doors to the garden forms the warm heart of the home. In the center lies the open kitchen, separated by a breakfast bar. It features a corner layout with built-in appliances, and thanks to the home’s high ceilings, it feels even more generous. Adjoining the kitchen is a practical utility room with laundry space and even the possibility to install a shower. Across from the kitchen is a hidden door that leads to the bank vault, divided into a front room and the vault itself, currently set up as a bar. The vault also has a hatch leading to additional storage. The garden feels like a private park, right in the heart of the village. Step into the deep, sunny backyard, and you’ll forget you’re in the town center. With tall trees, a tranquil pond, and complete privacy, it’s your own green oasis. A fixed staircase leads to the rooftop terrace—a hidden gem for relaxing or enjoying long summer evenings. Sleep like a bank director The first floor boasts five spacious bedrooms, each with its own charm. The master bedroom exudes elegance with a beautiful parquet floor, a fireplace, and direct access to the rooftop terrace—as if you’re stepping into the former director’s office. The modern bathroom at the rear is a wellness haven in itself, featuring a bathtub, walk-in pebble stone shower, sink unit, and toilet. And then there’s the second floor: a sixth bedroom with a dormer window, and in a separate room, the washing machine and central heating system are located. This attic space is also ideal as a studio, office, or guest accommodation. Recently refreshed and move-in ready This property has been carefully maintained. The hallway and master bedroom were recently plastered, the floors leveled, and all paintwork professionally done. Technically, the house is future-proof: the central heating boiler is brand new (November 2024) and the property has energy label D.
