Description
This maisonette apartment is situated in the heart of Waalre village center, offering a surprisingly spacious and quietly located living environment. The property features two bedrooms, generous living areas, and two balconies, making it a comfortable home for various types of residents.
The location is particularly central, with shops, supermarkets, and other amenities all within walking distance. For fresh bread, one only needs to go downstairs to the bakery located directly below the apartment. Despite this central position, the apartment maintains a pleasant level of peace and privacy.
The apartment complex is equipped with a lift and a wide, well-maintained gallery that provides access to the residences. Through the central entrance with mailboxes and an intercom system, residents reach the hall with both the lift and stairway. The building was constructed in 1993 and features a flat roof.
Apartment number 26 is designed as a maisonette, meaning the living space is distributed across two levels. Upon entering, the spacious layout of the hall is immediately apparent, providing access to the toilet, the staircase to the upper floor, and the living room. This generous proportions and the sense of space are characteristic of the entire apartment.
The living room and kitchen together form an open and light-filled living area. At the front, the open kitchen offers sufficient space for a large dining table with a view of the lively village center. The kitchen is practically arranged in an L-shape and includes various built-in appliances such as a dishwasher, refrigerator, freezer, gas cooktop, extractor hood, and oven. The practical storage closet under the stairs is ideal for storing groceries and supplies.
At the rear, the seating area features large windows that provide abundant daylight. This space is large and can be flexibly arranged, with direct access to the first balcony.
The upper floor is spaciously and practically laid out, feeling light and comfortable just like the rest of the apartment. The landing provides access to all rooms on this level. From here, there is also a door leading to the second balcony. Additionally, this floor contains two full-sized bedrooms, each with a pleasant size and good natural light. The bedroom at the rear offers a quiet location, while the front bedroom has a lively view toward the center. There is also a practical storage room housing the central heating boiler and the mechanical ventilation system.
Due to the ample space available on the landing, it would be relatively straightforward to create a third room, which could serve as an additional study or home office.
The bathroom is well-maintained and features a walk-in shower, toilet, vanity unit, and a washing machine connection.
On the ground floor of the complex, a separate bicycle storage facility is available.
The property has an energy label A, indicating full insulation and excellent energy efficiency. The heating and hot water are provided by an Intergas gas-fired combi boiler from 2021, which is owned by the current owner. The apartment has mechanical ventilation throughout.
The monthly service costs amount to 233 euros. The homeowners association is properly registered with the Chamber of Commerce, holds annual meetings, collects periodic contributions, maintains a reserve fund, has a maintenance plan in place, and has building insurance.
The total living area measures 109 square meters, with an additional 15 square meters of building-bound outdoor space in the form of the two balconies. There is also 4 square meters of external storage space. The total volume of the apartment is 345 cubic meters.
The property is located directly in the Winkelcentrum De Bus shopping center in Waalre. Here, residents find all necessary amenities including supermarkets, a bakery, a hairdresser, and a drugstore. A childcare facility is within walking distance, and the primary school is easily accessible by bicycle. The charming Waalre village market is also within walking distance, where regular activities are organized for all ages.
