Kapucijnenhof 42 – OosterhoutA Former Monastery Residence Defined by Space, Serenity and HeritageLiving in a former monastery, surrounded by peace, space and history. Kapucijnenhof 42 is far from an ordinary apartment; it is an exceptional residence of approximately 328 m², situated within a meticulously redeveloped monastery complex. Overlooking a private park-like garden of approximately 1.8 hectares, featuring a private three-car garage and a residential experience rarely found on the market, this property offers a unique combination of grandeur, privacy and comfort.An Entrance with CharacterThe apartment occupies a central position within the main building, directly adjacent to the impressive entrance hall. Beyond the original double front doors from the 1950s lies a monumental reception hall featuring the original Belgian bluestone floor. To the right, the private entrance to the apartment is discreetly situated, seamlessly integrated into the building's historic character.Living Room & KitchenThe approximately 80 m² living room is both spacious and light-filled, featuring ceilings of approximately 3.25 metres, a gas fireplace and views over the secluded monastery garden. Double doors connect the living room to the entrance hall, enhancing the apartment's generous and classical layout. Solid wood parquet flooring adds warmth and refinement to the living space.Adjacent to the living room is the SieMatic kitchen, fitted with natural stone worktops and complemented by a separate utility room — stylish, functional and logically connected to the principal living area.Master Suite & Guest AccommodationThe apartment features two bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom.The principal suite is particularly generous, offering approximately 31 m² of bedroom space, complemented by a dressing room of approximately 6 m² and an en-suite bathroom of approximately 11 m², equipped with a bathtub, walk-in shower, double washbasin and toilet.The second bedroom also benefits from a private bathroom with shower and washbasin and is ideally suited as guest accommodation, a library, study or home office.The Lower Ground FloorOne of the most distinctive features of Kapucijnenhof 42 is its lower ground floor. Offering approximately 120 m² of versatile living space, it forms an exceptional extension of the apartment. The level is currently divided into three rooms: two spacious areas and a third, more intimate space. Natural daylight, heating and ceiling heights of approximately 2.84 metres provide comfort, practicality and remarkable flexibility.It is precisely the scale of this level that makes it so special. It comfortably accommodates multiple functions simultaneously: a private office with library, home cinema and lounge, wellness area, music room, guest suite or private gallery. Not as a compromise, but as a genuine extension of the living experience. During summer months, the lower level remains pleasantly cool; in winter, it offers warmth and shelter.The Monastery GardenSurrounding the former monastery is a private park-like garden set within approximately 1.8 hectares of grounds, exclusively accessible to residents and their guests. The landscape has been designed with elegance and restraint, featuring expansive lawns, walking paths and mature protected trees.The garden provides space for leisurely walks and the tranquillity to unwind. Its green surroundings create a natural setting for peaceful living.Strategically LocatedThe location is equally compelling. From Oosterhout, the cities of ’s-Hertogenbosch, Eindhoven, Rotterdam, Utrecht and Antwerp are all easily accessible, most within approximately one hour by car. The Zuiderhout shopping centre is within walking distance.Private GarageThe apartment includes a private enclosed garage of approximately 65 m², accommodating up to three vehicles. Added during the redevelopment of the complex, this space offers not only parking facilities but also privacy, security and additional practical uses.Existing electrical infrastructure allows for the installation of EV charging points.Comfort & SustainabilityKapucijnenhof 42 combines contemporary comfort with sustainable living.

Its strength lies in this balance:Space to live. Air to breathe. Time to dream.
