This semi-detached residence is located at Eglantier 44 in the municipality of Brunssum and is offered for sale by SterckWonen makelaardij. The property was originally constructed in 1989 and has a total living area of approximately 113 square meters, with an additional 18 square meters of indoor storage space in the form of an attached garage. The total building volume measures 464 cubic meters. The plot covers 232 square meters, providing ample outdoor space for various uses.
The property is situated in a quiet and pleasant residential area of Brunssum. Residents benefit from the proximity of various amenities including schools, shopping facilities, and main roads for easy commuting. This combination of a peaceful living environment with convenient access to daily necessities makes the location particularly attractive for families and individuals seeking a balanced lifestyle.
Upon approaching the property, visitors are greeted by a front garden and a private driveway that provides off-street parking. The driveway features a canopy structure, offering protection from the elements when entering or exiting the home. This covered area adds a practical element to the exterior of the property.
The ground floor layout begins with an entrance hall that provides access to several areas of the home. From the hall, one can reach the guest toilet, the meter cupboard, the staircase leading to the first floor, and the main living room. This practical arrangement ensures smooth circulation throughout the ground floor.
The living room has been designed with an open and spacious feel. Large window sections at both the front and rear of the property allow abundant natural light to enter the space throughout the day. This natural illumination creates a pleasant and inviting atmosphere. The room offers sufficient dimensions to accommodate both a comfortable seating area and a dining section, making it suitable for various living arrangements and furniture configurations.
Located at the rear of the ground floor is the separate kitchen. The kitchen is equipped with a practical arrangement of upper and lower cabinets providing storage space. The culinary facilities include a sink, a gas cooktop, an extractor hood, and an oven. These appliances and fixtures provide the essential elements for meal preparation. A door from the kitchen provides direct access to the backyard, facilitating easy indoor-outdoor flow, particularly useful during warmer months or when entertaining.
Adjacent to the main residence is the attached garage. With an area of approximately 18 square meters, this space is practical in size and can serve multiple purposes. It can accommodate one vehicle for secure parking, provide storage for bicycles and garden equipment, or be converted into additional workspace or hobby area. The garage is equipped with electricity and running water, enhancing its functionality.
The first floor is accessed via a fixed staircase from the ground floor hall. The landing on this level provides access to three bedrooms and the main bathroom. The bedrooms have been planned with practical layouts that offer flexibility in their use. These rooms can serve as a master bedroom, children's rooms, guest accommodation, home office space, or hobby rooms depending on the needs of the occupants.
The bathroom on the first floor is generously proportioned and includes a comprehensive set of fixtures. It features a bathtub, a separate shower enclosure, a second toilet, a washbasin, and a radiator for heating. A window in the bathroom provides both natural daylight and ventilation, contributing to a fresh and pleasant environment.
The second floor is reached via another fixed staircase, leading to the attic level. This spacious attic room offers significant additional usable space. The area houses the central heating boiler installation but retains ample room for other purposes. A skylight has been installed, bringing natural light into this level. The current owner notes that there is potential to create a fourth bedroom on this floor, subject to any necessary permits and building requirements. Alternatively, the space could serve as a hobby room, home office, play area, or general storage space.
The outdoor areas of the property complement the indoor living spaces. The backyard has been designed with low maintenance in mind, featuring paving, planted borders, and green elements. This combination provides an attractive outdoor space without requiring extensive gardening efforts. The garden measures approximately 108 square meters with dimensions of 12 meters in depth and 9 meters in width. The garden orientation is to the northeast.
A separate wooden garden shed is present in the backyard. This outbuilding is ideal for storing bicycles, garden furniture, tools, and other items that need to be kept outdoors but protected from the weather.
Regarding the technical specifications, the property has been awarded energy label C, which indicates a reasonable level of energy efficiency for a home of this age. The heating system consists of a Remeha Avanta 28c gas-fired combination boiler, which is included in the sale as it is owned by the current proprietor. The property features double glazing throughout and has a mechanical ventilation system installed.
The property is being offered at a asking price of 320,000 euros, with the buyer responsible for the associated acquisition costs (kosten koper). This translates to approximately 2,832 euros per square meter of living space. The property is available for immediate occupation upon completion of the sale.
Prospective buyers should be aware of several contractual conditions that will be included in the purchase agreement. These include an age clause reflecting the 1989 construction date, a non-self-occupancy clause, and an asbestos clause. The seller has designated Wyck Notarissen in Maastricht as the preferred notary for the transaction, and this forms a condition of sale. The seller retains the right to accept or reject any offer and is not obligated to accept the highest bid.
