Feel at home
Living in a National Monument, right in the heart of the historical Heusden Fortress, is far from everyday. Hoogstraat 11 is a former warehouse, an impressive building where history, character and living comfort come together in a home that you have to experience to truly understand it. Behind the striking façade lies an unexpectedly grand living house with high beam ceilings, a special spacious living level and a layout that is perfectly suited for living and working from home.
The possibilities here are endless. Think of an art gallery, studio, home office or practice space on the ground floor, while you enjoy a cozy and generous living program on the upper floors. The castle-like character, the impressive ceiling height and the authentic details create a living experience that you rarely come across.
A house of grandeur, history and a story. This is living as it was before, but with the possibilities of today. Also visit our housing website hoogstraat11.nl for more information.
A warm welcome
Behind the special façade lies much more space than you would initially suspect. Via the impressive wooden entrance gate, which can be fully opened for extra light and a particularly welcoming feel, or via the practical side door, you step into the entrance hall.
This entrance forms the direct thermal separation from the living house, ensuring that the rear living areas are excellently insulated, both in terms of temperature and sound. As soon as you step further into the house, you are immediately captivated by the unique atmosphere. The high ceilings, robust materials and authentic details give the house a nearly castle-like appearance. An interior that perfectly matches the history of the building and the grandeur of bygone times.
Living, working and enjoying
The ground floor currently forms the heart of the reception and offers ample possibilities for a variety of functions. The spacious room now serves as a living room, but is just as suitable as a gallery, atelier or home office. A place where living and working effortlessly come together. The room features a generous cloakroom, a large wardrobe wall and a practical pantry that has been stylishly integrated beneath the stairs. At the back is the atmospheric garden room with direct access to the backyard, where inside and outside naturally merge into each other.
The central staircase is undoubtedly one of the absolute eye catchers of the house. An architectural statement that elegantly connects all floors while simultaneously emphasizing the height and space of the property.
On the first floor is the second living room; an impressive living area with a large gas fireplace that immediately adds atmosphere and warmth. Here there is more than enough space for a generous seating area and a large dining table for long evenings with friends and family. The beautiful wooden beam ceilings also catch the eye here, and the monumental character of the building becomes apparent once again.
Cooking at the heart of the home
Via een paar treden daal je af naar het lager gelegen achterhuis, waar zich letterlijk en figuurlijk het hart van de woning bevindt: de keuken.
The industrial kitchen setup is generously equipped with everything a true foodie could wish for. Here you can effortlessly prepare elaborate dinners while family and friends gather around the table. The combination of sturdy materials and the historical setting makes this space particularly atmospheric and unique.
Sleeping, dreaming, and showering
From the kitchen, you can reach the guest room with its own bathroom. Ideal for guests, older children, or for example an au-pair or a live-in parent. Above the bathroom is also a spacious walk-in closet that provides extra storage space, a sense of space and nice sightlines through the house.
On the second floor in the entrance hall is the magnificent master bedroom. A delightful place to retreat after a busy day. Adjacent lies the spacious bathroom, equipped with a shower, bidet, toilet and a skylight that provides a pleasant amount of daylight. Also on the landing, surprisingly ample storage space is present, entirely in keeping with the magnificent character of this special home.
Living in a postcard
Hoogstraat 11 is located in the heart of the historical center of Heusden Vesting, perhaps one of the most beautiful fortification towns in the Netherlands. Here you walk daily past monumental buildings, cozy terraces, boutiques, specialty shops and the atmospheric hunting harbor.
