Spacious Semi-Detached Family Home with South-Facing Garden in Swalmen
Key Features
Upsides
- Energy label A rating indicates excellent energy efficiency, resulting in lower energy costs and a smaller environmental footprint.
- South-facing garden of 168 square meters with a terrace and sunshade, providing an outdoor space that receives ample sunlight throughout the day.
- Practical parking solution with both a carport and an indoor garage accessible from the living room, offering flexibility for storage and vehicle protection.
- Good location combining the peacefulness of village life in Swalmen with convenient access to Roermond's amenities and the A73 and A2 motorways for regional connectivity.
- Multifunctional attic space with laundry connections that can be adapted to suit various needs such as an additional bedroom, home office, or hobby room.
Downsides
- The first floor contains only two actual bedrooms, with the third bedroom being the attic space which may not offer the same level of finish or privacy as a standard bedroom.
- The garden, while spacious at 168 square meters, is relatively narrow at 6 meters wide, which may limit landscaping options and outdoor activities.
- The property is located in a village rather than a city, which means fewer immediate amenities and services compared to urban areas.
- At 128 square meters of living space for a price of 469,000 euros, the price per square meter is relatively high for a village location.
- The central heating boiler dates from 2016, meaning it is approaching the typical replacement age and may need attention in the coming years.
Description
This semi-detached family home is situated on Bosstraat in the village of Swalmen, which is located in the southern part of the Netherlands in the province of Limburg. The property was built in 2013 and benefits from modern construction standards including full insulation and double glazing, resulting in an energy label A rating. The asking price is 469,000 euros, which translates to approximately 3,664 euros per square meter of living space.
The total plot measures 362 square meters and is registered in the cadastral municipality of Swalmen, section B, number 4540. The property features a gable roof and has a total volume of 505 cubic meters. The living area spans 128 square meters, with an additional 15 square meters of other indoor space and 15 square meters of building-bound outdoor space.
Approaching the property, visitors arrive via the carport which provides covered parking and leads directly to the front door. Upon entering, there is a hallway with a separate toilet. The ground floor layout has been designed with an open flow between the different living areas. The kitchen and dining area are positioned at the front of the house, while the living room is located at the rear, creating a natural connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces through French doors that open directly onto the garden.
The living room benefits from natural light and offers views of the garden. An internal door provides access to the indoor garage, which adds practical functionality to the daily living experience. This garage space can serve multiple purposes including storage for bicycles, general storage, or as a hobby area.
The first floor is accessed via a staircase and features a landing that connects two bedrooms. One bedroom is situated at the front of the property and the other at the rear, allowing for flexibility in use. The bathroom is centrally positioned between the two bedrooms and is accessible from the landing. This bathroom is equipped with a bathtub, a shower, a toilet, and a washbasin, providing all essential bathroom facilities.
A fixed staircase leads from the first floor to the attic level. This attic space is described as spacious and multifunctional, with laundry connections already in place. The area offers numerous possibilities depending on the needs of the occupants, whether that be additional storage space, a third bedroom, a home office, or a hobby room. The listing indicates that there are three bedrooms in total, which suggests the attic is counted as a potential third sleeping area, though it should be noted that the first floor contains two finished bedrooms.
The outdoor areas of the property have been carefully maintained. The rear garden faces south, measuring 168 square meters with dimensions of 28 meters in depth and 6 meters in width. The garden includes a terrace equipped with a sunshade, providing a comfortable outdoor seating area that can be used throughout the summer months while offering protection from direct sunlight when needed. The garden is planted with greenery and features a rear access path. There is also a front garden as part of the property.
Parking facilities include the carport, the indoor garage, and additional parking space on the property, with a total capacity for one vehicle as specified in the listing. The property is located in a residential neighborhood within Swalmen.
Swalmen is characterized by its rural setting and green surroundings. The village is situated near natural areas including the Swalmdal, which offers opportunities for walking and cycling in the Limburg landscape. The Maas river and various nature reserves are also within easy reach. For daily shopping and services, the city of Roermond is a short drive away, offering a wider range of amenities including the Designer Outlet and a historic city center.
The property benefits from good accessibility to the regional road network, with the A73 and A2 motorways nearby. This allows for convenient travel to cities such as Venlo, Maastricht, and Eindhoven. The heating system consists of a central heating boiler installed in 2016, which also provides hot water for the property.
The property is available for occupancy by mutual agreement, and viewings can be arranged by appointment through the listing agent's office. As with all property listings, the information provided is intended to be as comprehensive as possible, though the actual condition of the property should be verified through a physical inspection.
