Description
Situated in the quiet and central neighborhood of Chevremont in Kerkrade, this characteristic family home at Chevremontstraat 43 offers a unique opportunity for buyers looking to create their dream residence. The property presents itself as a spacious and practical home with a total living area of approximately 155 square meters. While the house has been maintained over the years, it is in need of comprehensive modernization, allowing the new owner to renovate and decorate the interior to their own taste and modern standards. This makes the property particularly suitable for handy starters or families who are looking for a project to transform a house with character into a contemporary home.
The location of the property is one of its strong assets. Chevremont is a residential area in Kerkrade known for its peaceful atmosphere. Despite the quiet surroundings, the home is centrally located near various amenities. Residents will find shops, schools, and public transport options within easy reach. Additionally, the property is conveniently positioned near various exit roads, making it accessible for commuters. The immediate vicinity is described as a living environment with a park nearby, contributing to a pleasant and green living experience.
Upon approaching the property, one notices the corner house situation and the presence of a detached stone garage at the rear. The garage, measuring approximately 21 square meters, provides ample space for parking a car or storing motorcycles and bicycles. It also serves as a potential hobby space due to its size and separate access door. The garage is not insulated, which is typical for outbuildings of this age, but it adds significant functional value to the property.
The home itself is spread over three floors and includes a basement. The total volume of the house is around 651 cubic meters, indicating a substantial amount of space. The interior layout is traditional yet offers various possibilities for alteration. The ground floor features a welcoming entrance hall of about 9 square meters. Here, one finds the meter cupboard and the staircase leading to the upper floors. The hall provides access to the various living spaces on this level.
The living room is a major highlight of the ground floor. With a surface area of approximately 38 square meters and dimensions of 8.37 meters by 4.53 meters, it is a generous through-living room. Large window frames at both the front and rear ensure that the room is filled with natural light throughout the day. This space offers the potential to create a modern open living concept, perhaps integrating the kitchen area for a more contemporary feel.
The kitchen is currently a closed space located at the front of the house. It covers about 9 square meters and is described as functional but dated. This room offers excellent potential for renovation, allowing new owners to install modern appliances and cabinetry that suit their culinary needs. The ground floor also houses a separate toilet room and a bathroom. The bathroom, measuring approximately 7 square meters, is equipped with a bathtub and a sink vanity. Like the kitchen, this sanitary facility requires modernization to meet current lifestyle expectations. Furthermore, there are two storage rooms on the ground floor, measuring 2 and 4 square meters respectively, which are practical for keeping household items.
Moving to the first floor, the landing leads to three well-sized bedrooms. The first bedroom, located at the rear of the property, is the largest on this floor at approximately 18 square meters. The second bedroom, situated at the front, offers about 15 square meters of space. The third bedroom measures 11 square meters, making it ideal as a children's room, guest room, or home office. The layout of this floor provides privacy and comfort for family members.
The second floor is located under the roof structure and features two additional bedrooms and ample storage space. The fourth bedroom is roughly 19 square meters, offering versatility in its use. The fifth bedroom is about 13 square meters. These rooms are perfect for older children, guests, or as a dedicated workspace for those working from home. The presence of knee walls on this floor provides extra storage space behind them, which is a valuable feature in a home with this roof construction.
In addition to the living floors, the property boasts a full basement. The cellar has an area of about 25 square meters and is divided into multiple compartments. This space is ideal for storage, keeping provisions, or setting up a hobby area. Having a basement significantly increases the storage capacity of the home, helping to keep the main living areas clutter-free.
The outdoor space of the property is designed to be low maintenance. The backyard faces east and has a depth of nearly 13 meters. It is neatly laid out with terraces, artificial grass, and borders. The garden invites residents to enjoy the outdoors without the burden of extensive gardening work. The east-facing orientation means the garden catches the morning and afternoon sun.
Technically, the home is equipped with plastic window frames, which contribute to lower maintenance costs regarding the exterior paintwork. However, the energy label is currently F, indicating that the energy efficiency is low. The roof is insulated, but other insulation measures may be necessary to improve the energy performance. Heating and hot water are provided by a Nefit HR combi-boiler, which is rented rather than owned. This is an important detail for potential buyers to consider regarding monthly costs.
In summary, this property offers a solid foundation with its five bedrooms, garage, cellar, and generous living space. It requires imagination and effort to modernize, but it rewards that effort with the opportunity to live in a spacious, character-filled home in a convenient Kerkrade location. The asking price reflects the work that needs to be done, positioning it as an accessible entry point for those willing to invest in their living environment.
