This townhouse Gorinchem occupies a distinguished position in de Bovenstad, the most coveted neighbourhood within Gorinchem’s historic centre. The core of this former headmaster’s residence dates from the 16th century and offers 215 m² of living space on a 338 m² plot, complemented by a broad sun-filled garden and a 59 m² outbuilding with rear access. The property’s status as a municipal monument preserves its authentic architecture, including original wall tiles, marble floors, and a finely detailed vestibule that introduces a sense of understated grandeur.
The ground floor balances historic detail and practical living, with a living room featuring ceilings over three metres high and a fireplace, a study overlooking the quiet street, and a light-filled Siematic kitchen that flows to an east and south-facing garden. The adjacent garden room, with glass sliding doors, offers flexibility as a second sitting area. Upstairs, three double bedrooms each present unique features: a balcony, antique fireplaces, fitted wardrobes, and a tranquil outlook. The bathroom is equipped with a bathtub, walk-in shower, and underfloor heating, while a separate laundry room and cloakroom speak to contemporary comfort.
Modernisation sits discreetly alongside heritage, with twelve solar panels, roof insulation, updated glazing, and a high-efficiency boiler. The outbuilding at the rear accommodates parking or studio space, opening onto a private drive. Everyday conveniences, restaurants, and cultural venues lie within walking distance. Rail and road links, excellent schools, and extensive sports facilities position this townhouse for both serene living and refined connectivity. Living in this property invites a pace of life attuned to the rhythms of a fortified riverside city, amid history and cultivated urban ease.
