Slagveld 39

n Etten-Leur stands an impressive white villa that immediately commands attention. Classical in appearance, with shutters beside the windows, decorative mouldings along the façade, and a symmetrical entrance with double lanterns. A closer look reveals how richly the façade is composed: brickwork in various patterns, arched masonry above the windows, and an elegant cornice. The home was designed and built by the current owners in 2008, with love, vision, and attention to every detail. It offers the tranquillity and privacy of a country residence, yet with the comfort and connectedness of living in a neighbourhood.

The front garden is landscaped in a sleek and classical style, with hedges, grasses and a tree that adds a touch of privacy. Behind the stately front door unfolds an impressive hall with high ceilings, an elegant staircase and light dancing across the travertine floor. The finishes immediately reveal true craftsmanship: wainscoting, high skirting boards, architraves, and custom-made doors with diamond-shaped relief. Everything is solid and durable; built to last for generations.

Living room filled with light, calm and views
The living room is bathed in daylight. Tall windows and French doors connect inside and outside, making the garden part of the interior. The gas fireplace forms an intimate corner of the room, surrounded by custom cabinetry and with sightlines to the garden. Through double doors you reach the kitchen: the beating heart of the home and the setting for many long evenings.

Custom kitchen as the heart of the home
The kitchen is custom-designed, with every detail carefully considered. The flooring runs seamlessly outside, merging indoor and outdoor living. All appliances are concealed behind ingenious sliding doors in the tall black wall: ovens, coffee machine, fridge-freezer combination, climate cabinet and warming drawer. During cooking a door slides open elegantly; during gatherings everything disappears from sight, restoring a calm atmosphere.
The large cooking island with composite worktop, induction hob and wok burner, and professional extraction hood forms the functional centrepiece of the kitchen, surrounded by electric drawers and abundant storage. By day, light pours in; in the evening, tranquillity settles over the living kitchen—with the cabinets closed, the large gas fireplace lit, and a glass of wine by the impressive wine wall that also serves as a room divider.

Garden room that adapts to the seasons
Through French doors, you reach the garden room, a space fully surrounded by glass. The entire façade can open, allowing you to sit warm and cosy behind glass in winter, sheltered from the wind, and open and free in summer. It is a delightful place in every season: with the wood-burning fireplace lit and views across the garden. From here, you can watch squirrels dart by and occasionally birds from the nearby nature reserve settle.

Flexibility on the ground floor
Back in the hall, there is also access to a bright room currently used as an office, with an adjoining showroom. Daylight streams in generously here as well, and the finishes match the rest of the house. Thanks to its location and direct access to an elevated terrace, this space is multifunctional: suitable as an office, TV room or additional ground-floor bedroom. Also on this level are a travertine guest toilet and a lift that connects all floors.

Built for today and for the future
The same focus on functionality also extends to the future. This villa was designed with upcoming life stages in mind. Thanks to the spacious layout, wide doorways and the lift connecting all floors, the home is fully prepared for ageing in place. All provisions are present: connections for bathrooms, possibilities for separate living areas and ample privacy for live-in family members or staff. Those wishing to live differently—such as with in-home care or in a small-scale, high-quality care setting—will find the perfect foundation here. Everything is already prepared, down to the finest technical details.

Basement with wellness and character
Beneath the house unfolds a surprising world. Here you will find a complete wellness area with a deep and large indoor swimming pool, Finnish sauna, foot bath, shower with bucket, and a jacuzzi. Thanks to large French doors, even this level connects to the outdoors. The floors are tightly laid travertine and the ceiling is high: a space that exudes both calm and energy. Adjacent to the wellness is an unexpected pub-style bar, complete with billiards table, bar and atmospheric details in every corner. Even the toilet is styled accordingly, with an authentic tap.
Beneath the pool lies the technical room, which has been expertly transformed into an atmospheric tasting room for wine enthusiasts.

First floor with serene master suite and outdoor bath
On the first floor, daylight enters from all sides, enhanced by the void that gives the home a feeling of openness and space. The master bedroom is a haven of tranquillity, with exceptionally wide and long white-lacquered oak planks, a granite gas fireplace and a balcony where silence reigns at night. On this balcony stands a freestanding solid travertine bathtub for bathing outdoors under the stars.
The en-suite bathroom resembles a modern bathhouse: symmetrical in design, with two columns supporting the basins, a large bathtub and a rear wall where shower and toilet are subtly concealed. The tadelakt walls—hand-polished Moroccan plaster—give the room a soft sheen.

The other bedrooms are equally generous, each with its own bathroom and toilet. The guest room, according to the resident the most beautiful in the house, is a favourite because of the enchanting light that enters throughout the day. Each bathroom is finished with travertine or marble, and all floors are heated.

Second floor full of light and possibilities
With the lift or stairs you reach the top floor. A flood of light enters through three large skylights. The resin floor and open layout give the space a modern and serene feel. It currently houses a fitness room, a games room with bar and a cinema, but also offers possibilities for additional bedrooms, a guest suite or an atelier. Connections for sanitary facilities are already available.

Garden as a living extension of the home
The garden is designed with as much care and vision as the house itself. Classical lines and differences in height give the plot a natural layering. Neatly trimmed hedges and mature trees alternate with lawn and elegant planting, giving the garden a different character in every season.
A height difference of around one and a half metres divides the plot into several levels, each with its own orientation and atmosphere—from sunny terraces to shaded, sheltered corners.
At the centre lies the pool with raised edge, framed by terraces with ceramic tiles and coated stainless steel, offering a peaceful place to start or end the day. Further along are an outdoor kitchen with pizza oven and barbecue, a terrace with hanging chairs, and sightlines that reveal a new perspective at every turn.
The garden is designed as a series of outdoor rooms—spacious, harmonious and carefully thought out—an extension of the home that invites you to enjoy each moment of the day differently.

Behind the villa’s beauty lies advanced technology. The home is fully equipped with a domotics system controlling lighting and security. The glass is burglary-resistant, windows and doors have specially crafted locks and the alarm system integrates cameras around the house. The property is also equipped with built-in electric shutters. Despite the scale and technical perfection, the atmosphere remains warm and homely.

Sales Conditions
Measurement instruction (industry-wide)
The measurement instruction has been established as an industry-wide standard. Its purpose is to ensure more uniform measurement methods for indicating usable floor area. Differences in measurement outcomes cannot be fully excluded, for example due to interpretation, rounding or practical limitations. The basic principle remains: “what you see is what you buy”, and the object information is of secondary importance.

Legally binding purchase agreement only after signing
An oral agreement between private seller and private buyer is not legally binding. A purchase agreement is only valid once both parties have signed it. This follows from Article 7:2 of the Dutch Civil Code. A confirmation by e-mail or sending a draft purchase agreement is also not considered a legally binding contract.

As Agnes Tomesen Makelaardij is affiliated with the NVM, we use the model purchase agreement established by NVM, Vastgoed Nederland, the Consumers’ Association and the Homeowners Association. This contract standardly includes a deposit or bank guarantee of 10% of the purchase price.
