Semi-detached corner home with solar panels in central Hoensbroek
Key Features
Description
The property is located in Hoensbroek, a town in the southern part of the Netherlands in the province of Limburg. This semi-detached house, also classified as a corner house, is situated on a central location that offers convenient access to various amenities. The surrounding area includes schools, a shopping center, major roads, and public transportation options, making it a practical choice for families or individuals who value accessibility.
The house was originally built in 1949, which means it has a traditional Dutch residential design typical of the post-war period. Despite its age, the property has been maintained and updated over the years to bring it to a nearly move-in ready condition. The current owners have made several improvements that enhance the livability and energy efficiency of the home.
The total living area of the property measures approximately 80 square meters, which is distributed across two main floors. Additionally, there is 18 square meters of other indoor space, primarily consisting of the basement area, and 6 square meters of external storage in the form of a masonry garden shed. The total volume of the house is 388 cubic meters, and it sits on a plot of 286 square meters.
The basement, referred to as a provision cellar in the listing, covers about 10 square meters and houses the laundry connections. This space provides a practical area for washing machine and dryer setup, keeping the main living areas free from laundry appliances.
The ground floor features an entrance with a front yard that includes a private parking space. Upon entering, there is a hallway with a modern electrical panel and a toilet room equipped with a wall-hung toilet. The living room and kitchen combined measure approximately 31 square meters, which is relatively compact but functional for a family home of this size. The kitchen is arranged in an L-shape and comes equipped with a ceramic cooktop, refrigerator, combination oven and microwave, extractor hood, and dishwasher. From the living area, there is access to the back garden, which has a side entrance, lawn, planted borders, and the aforementioned masonry storage shed of about 6 square meters.
The first floor contains three bedrooms and a bathroom. The largest bedroom measures approximately 13 square meters and includes a built-in closet. The second bedroom is about 9 square meters, and the third bedroom measures approximately 8 square meters. The bathroom is fitted with a walk-in shower and a fixed washbasin set in a bathroom cabinet. The floors on both the ground floor and first floor are finished with laminate flooring throughout.
The second floor consists of an attic space that can be reached via a pull-down staircase. This area primarily serves as storage space and houses the central heating combi boiler installation. It is worth noting that the boiler is a rental unit, meaning the new owner would need to take over the existing rental agreement for this appliance.
The property features plastic window frames with double glazing, with some windows having HR++ glass, which offers better insulation than standard double glazing. The roof is a gable roof covered with tiles, which is a common and durable roofing solution in Dutch residential construction.
One of the notable features of this property is the presence of 8 solar panels that are owned by the current owners. This means they will transfer to the new owner with the property, potentially offering savings on electricity costs and contributing to a more sustainable energy profile for the home.
The energy label for the property is rated D, which indicates moderate energy efficiency. The house has wall insulation, floor insulation, and double glazing, which contribute to its energy performance, though there may be room for further improvements to achieve a better energy rating in the future.
The back garden measures 138 square meters with dimensions of 14.5 meters in depth and 9.5 meters in width. The garden is located on the north side of the property and is accessible via a side path, which is a practical feature for accessing the garden without going through the house. The garden includes a lawn area, borders with plantings, and the freestanding stone storage building that has electricity connected.
Parking is available on the property itself with a private space in the front yard or driveway area. Additionally, there is public parking available in the vicinity for visitors or additional vehicles.
The asking price for this property is set at 249,000 euros, which is offered as a costs koper transaction, meaning the buyer is responsible for the transfer tax and notary fees associated with the purchase. The standard bank guarantee or security deposit of 10 percent applies to this transaction. Based on the living area, the asking price translates to approximately 3,112 euros per square meter.
For potential buyers considering this property, it is important to factor in the rented central heating boiler situation, as this represents an ongoing monthly cost that will need to be continued under the existing rental agreement. The energy label D rating also suggests that while some insulation measures have been taken, there may be opportunities to further improve the energy efficiency of the home, which could reduce heating costs and potentially increase the property value over time.
The three-bedroom layout makes this property suitable for small families, couples who need a home office space, or individuals who appreciate having extra rooms for guests or hobbies. The presence of both a basement and an attic provides additional storage space beyond what the main living floors offer.
This semi-detached corner house in Hoensbroek presents itself as a practical family home in a convenient location. The combination of modern updates such as the solar panels and plastic window frames with the traditional layout and character of a 1949-built home creates an interesting balance. The nearly move-in ready condition means that a new owner could settle in with minimal immediate renovation work required, while still having the opportunity to make personal improvements over time.
