Helenaveenseweg 69

Aan de rand van het Grashoek staat deze royale, vrijstaande woning die uitblinkt in ruimte, comfort en mogelijkheden. Zodra je binnenkomt proef je direct het gevoel van vrijheid. De riante woonkamer en de ruime keuken vormen samen het hart van het huis en zijn een fijne plek om te koken, te tafelen en samen te zijn. Extra praktisch is de (slaap)kamer op de begane grond, de badkamer en een aparte was-/technische ruimte. Ideaal dus voor gelijkvloers wonen. Op de eerste verdieping vind je maar liefst vier ruime slaapkamers en een tweede badkamer met ligbad en douchecabine. De grootste slaapkamer heeft openslaande deuren naar een balkon van waaruit je een fijn uitzicht hebt over de tuin. De vaste trap naar de (berg)zolder brengt je naar twee ruimtes die nog volledig naar eigen wens zijn in te delen. Maar dit is nog niet alles! Onder de woning gaat nog een wereld schuil: de complete onderkeldering bestaat uit vier ruimtes die momenteel ingericht zijn als biljartkamer, bioscoop, berging en provisieruimte. De grootste kelderruimte is daarnaast ook rechtstreeks vanuit de tuin bereikbaar. De buitenruimte rondom de woning is werkelijk een plaatje. Op een perceel van 1.560 m² ligt een prachtig aangelegde groene tuin met veel gazon, een fraaie dakplataan, een notenboom en groenblijvende heggen. Dankzij de grondwaterpomp en het beregeningssysteem blijft de tuin moeiteloos in topconditie. Je ziet hier dagelijks veel vogels en zelfs eekhoorntjes rondscharrelen. Direct achter de woning ligt een overdekt terras en verderop in de tuin zijn meerdere knusse zitplekjes te vinden. De vrijstaande garage is eveneens royaal opgezet met twee rolpoorten, plek voor meerdere auto’s of machines en een ruime werkplaats. Via een ladder bereik je de zolder met volop extra bergruimte. Op de oprit is ruimte voor meerdere auto’s of zelfs een caravan of camper. Tot slot maakt de combinatie van goede isolatie, een warmtepomp en zonnepanelen deze woning niet alleen comfortabel maar ook opvallend energiezuinig. Dat scheelt aanzienlijk in de maandlasten!

A FIRST IMPRESSION
The house is located in the quiet outskirts, surrounded by greenery and offering wide open views, yet with all amenities surprisingly close by. In just five minutes of cycling you reach the center of Grashoek. Here you will find, among other things, a primary school, two restaurants, a café and various (sport) associations, a close-knit village core where people still know and meet each other. For daily shopping you can go to the nearby villages of Meijel and Panningen, both within a short drive and equipped with a complete range of shops and other facilities. The accessibility is also excellent. Within a few minutes' drive you reach the A67 motorway with a direct connection towards Eindhoven and Venlo, and even a quick link towards Germany. Thus this location combines the best of two worlds: quiet and rural living with all comforts and exits within easy reach.

LET'S START ON THE GROUND FLOOR
You drive up the wide driveway and immediately feel: this is a place. Space for cars, guests, playing, coming home. Via the path you walk through the beautifully landscaped front garden, which with two stately fir trees and mature planting offers a well-tended appearance, towards the double front door. An entrance that immediately promises something.

WHEN YOU COME IN
Inside, you step into the royal hall: light, spacious and clear. To the right, you find the meter cabinet with no less than 10 groups and power supply, which is both practical and future-proof. The cloakroom with built-in lighting provides a nice place to neatly store coats and shoes.

(SLEEP)ROOM
To the left of the hall is an amazing extra room. Bedroom, workspace, playroom, chill space, here you can really go any way. Thanks to the two rotating cupboards and the tiled floor with underfloor heating, this is a comfortable, light place where you immediately get ideas.

PEEP IN THE KITCHEN
Going straight ahead, the route leads you into the kitchen: warm, inviting and timeless. Despite its age, this kitchen still looks well-maintained and stylish. The combination of light wood cabinetry with the dark plastic countertop gives a calm, timeless appearance. Here you cook on a four-burner induction stove, use the combi-oven for quick meals and the dishwasher and refrigerator are already ready to make daily life easier. The many cabinets provide ample storage space. At the dining table, which effortlessly takes a prominent place here, you enjoy the view over the backyard. Thanks to the large window with an electrically operated sunscreen, you can comfortably sit here in every season.

IN THE LIVING ROOM
From the kitchen, you effortlessly walk into the magnificent living room that spans the entire depth of the house. Large windows on the front side, a cozy bay window, and sliding doors to the terrace allow plenty of daylight to flow in. This is a living room where you immediately see how you live: a cozy seating area by the windows, maybe a play area, a reading nook or a large family table. There is enough space to fully tailor it to your needs.

TOILET EN BADKAMER
On the ground floor, you will also find a spacious, wheelchair-friendly toilet: practical, forward-thinking and comfortable. The bathroom with bathtub, toilet and sink is fitted with light, neutral tiles and has a rotating air vent for fresh air. A nice place to relax after a long day or to start the morning fresh.

WASRUIMTE
Finally, there is the laundry and technical room: functional, clear and smartly laid out. Here you will find the white goods connections, the underfloor heating distributor, the boiler (Nefit, 2015) and the heat pump (Daikin, 2023). Everything neatly together and ready for energy-efficient living.

THE LOWER FLOOR (BASEMENT)
Behind a door in the hallway lies a surprise: a fixed staircase leading down takes you to a completely new living level. A basement, but then one of the types where you can actually do something with it. Because this space extends under the entire house.
Upon arriving downstairs, it immediately feels cozy and protected, never cold, never stuffy but rather pleasant and consistently temperatured. The largest room is set up as a cozy cinema room and extra living room or nice chill spot. Movie night with the whole family, gaming with friends, a quiet lounge corner... it can all happen here. And extra special: via a steel hatch in the garden you can also reach this room directly from outside. Ideal for teenagers, guests or hobbies where you don't want to walk through the entire house all the time.
Next to this space is a second, generous cellar room. At the moment there's a billiard table here and you immediately see the possibilities. Are you thinking of a sports or fitness room, a bar, a music studio, workshop or large hobby room? Whatever your dream is, it can take shape here.
The third room is more compact and practically furnished as a pantry. Along the walls are shelves, perfect for storage, jars, drinks, appliances or that kitchenware you don't need daily. Everything is clear and tidy.
The fourth room has been used for years as a hobby room. A place to tinker, do DIY, collect or just mess around without anyone having a problem with it.
Together, these four rooms form an additional living level that really adds something. Always pleasant in temperature: cool in the summer, comfortable in the winter and incredibly versatile. Whether you're looking for more storage space, separate play areas for the youth, creative workspaces or relaxation areas: here you have the freedom to design it completely to your own wishes.

ARE YOU COMING UP WITH ME?
Via de trap kom je op de eerste verdieping, waar je meteen merkt hoeveel ruimte dit huis te bieden heeft. Hier bevinden zich maar liefst vier volwaardige slaapkamers stuk voor stuk licht, prettig en verrassend royaal en een tweede badkamer.

SLEEPING ROOMS
The largest bedroom is truly a pearl. This room extends across the full depth of the house and therefore feels like a suite. The sliding doors provide access to a balcony from which you look out over the garden and the surrounding woods. Waking up in the morning with this view, it couldn't be more peaceful. As an extra there is a practical walk-in closet, subtly integrated behind a wall panel. Everything neatly out of sight but still right at hand.
The other three bedrooms are ideal as children's rooms, guest rooms or comfortable home offices. All three have a vaulted ceiling with a rotating skylight, allowing lots of light to enter and making the rooms feel extra spacious. Two of the three bedrooms also have a side window that provides even more daylight and a nice, open feeling. All the bedrooms are finished with floor coverings that contribute to the comfort.

VIEW THE BATHROOM
On this floor there is also a generous second bathroom that really invites you to relax. Here you will find a pleasant sunken bathtub, a separate shower cabin, a vanity with furniture and built-in spotlights, and a wall-mounted toilet. The bathroom is executed in light, neutral colors, making it timeless and easy to combine with any style. Thanks to the underfloor heating, it is always pleasant there, and through the roof lantern with rotating skylight you get plenty of daylight inside and you have the possibility to ventilate nicely.

A LOOK AT THE TOP FLOOR
Via een vaste trap bereik je de zolderverdieping en opnieuw word je verrast door de ruimte. Je komt uit op een kleine overloop die toegang geeft tot twee aparte zolderruimtes.
This floor feels like a blank canvas: you can go any way here. Think about creating extra (bed)rooms, a quiet workspace, a hobby room, a playroom or a large walk-in closet. Prefer to keep everything practical? Then these are perfect storage spaces for seasonal items, suitcases, sports equipment and anything you don't need daily but want to store neatly, dry and easily accessible. This attic offers plenty of potential and forms a nice bonus on top of the already generous living spaces of the house.

ARE YOU COMING OUT TO LOOK?
Not only is there an abundance of space inside, but outside the enjoyment simply continues. The garden extends around the house and looks beautifully green all year round. The spacious lawn, the stately roofed plane tree where you can sit comfortably shaded on warm summer days, the atmospheric nut tree and the colorful borders with plants and flowers together create a park-like appearance. The evergreen hedges form a natural and beautiful boundary of the plot, allowing you to experience plenty of privacy. Directly next to the sliding doors of the living room is an covered terrace: the place for long summer evenings, outdoor dinners and relaxed coffee moments. Further scattered throughout the garden you discover even more cozy seating areas, or create them yourself, always with a different view.
In every season, the garden is brimming with life. Birds fly in and out, and with a bit of luck you might even see squirrels and hedgehogs scurrying around. To keep the garden so beautifully green, there is a groundwater pump with an irrigation system present, practical, sustainable and especially very easy to use. Furthermore, there are various stainless steel poles with sockets. The garden is fully enclosed and through three steel gates you have access to the plot.

In the garden there is also a large, double garage with two rolling doors, one of which is electrically operated. Here you can easily park several cars or machines. The garage has a workshop with power and heating so that you can comfortably work there all year round. The garage is fully insulated (except for the floor) and via a ladder you can reach the practical attic, ideal for items that you don't need daily. In front of the garage there is a wide driveway with space for several cars and even for a caravan or camper.
And then there's a nice bonus: on the roof of the garage, there are 26 solar panels, providing an annual output of approximately 7.000–7.800 kWh. A nice step towards energy-efficient and future-proof living.

WHAT SELLERS WOULD RATHER DO WITHOUT
We would like to tell you something about ourselves and provide an explanation regarding the sale of our home. We were both born and raised in Grashoek and have always had a strong connection to this place. In the 1980s, after the sale of an agricultural business, our (clean) parents purchased two properties (numbers 67 and 69). Number 67 was completely renovated at the time, and our aunt lived in the then-number 69. When this aunt moved out, we submitted an application to renovate that house, which was approved. Upon further consideration, we would rather like to build the house completely new at the current location, which resulted in a years-long legal battle with the municipality, ultimately resulting in approval in May 1993.
Due to our architectural background and experience within the construction sector, we chose to realize the project largely on our own initiative with the support of experienced professionals. The construction period was intensive and required a lot of effort but resulted in a house that has been carefully, professionally, and with attention to detail built. The entire construction process was documented in photo and film material, of which a selection is available for viewing upon request.
Since 1995, we have lived here with a lot of pleasure. The house has been a nice and warm home for years. Our daughter was also born and raised here, but now a new phase is about to begin for us and we are moving to number 67. Therefore, we are very curious about which new neighbors we will get! We sincerely hope that the new residents here will find living as pleasant as we have done for all those years. Read the full description
