Unique Converted Church Apartment in Valkenswaard Centre

Located on a prime position at the edge of the centre of Valkenswaard, this property is situated within a former church building known as the Antoniuskerk. The conversion of this remarkable building into residential apartments has preserved much of the original ecclesiastical character while introducing modern living standards. Upon entering the complex through the characteristic entrance, visitors pass through the adjoining chapel space before reaching the impressive central hall of the building. This entrance sequence immediately conveys the historical significance and architectural grandeur of the original structure. The apartment itself is located on the first floor of this converted church complex. Behind the front door of the apartment, a hallway provides access to several practical spaces including a modern toilet room, a built-in wardrobe or closet space, and an extensive meter cupboard. The hallway connects openly to the main living area, creating a flowing transition between the entrance zone and the heart of the home. The living area is generously proportioned and benefits from a thoughtful layout that allows residents to create distinct zones for different activities. The space can accommodate a separate seating area, a dining section, and a work or hobby space. Two large sliding patio doors ensure excellent natural light penetration throughout the day, enhancing the sense of space and connection to the outdoors. The open plan design makes this area suitable for various living arrangements and personal preferences. The kitchen configuration consists of two elements: a kitchen island and a straight run of cabinetry. The straight section houses two ovens, a refrigerator, and a built-in corner unit designed to accommodate appliances such as a coffee machine. The island features a spacious work surface, an induction hob with integrated extraction, a sink equipped with a Quooker instant hot water tap, and a dishwasher. This layout provides ample preparation space and keeps the cooking area connected to the living zone. The sleeping quarters are positioned in a separate section of the apartment. Here, residents will find a spacious bedroom alongside a large walk-in closet. This arrangement offers considerable storage capacity for clothing and personal items without requiring additional freestanding furniture in the bedroom itself. The bedroom dimensions allow for a generous bed setup and additional furnishings as desired. Adjacent to the bedroom area is the main bathroom, which is finished to a high standard. The bathroom includes a walk-in shower, a double vanity unit, and a toilet. A separate toilet room is also available near the entrance hall for convenience when guests are present. The technical room, housing the connections for washing appliances and offering additional storage options, is also located in this section of the apartment. Throughout the apartment, a light-coloured tile floor has been installed, complemented by underfloor heating across the entire living space. This combination provides a consistent aesthetic and ensures comfortable temperatures throughout the year without the need for radiators. The underfloor heating system contributes to the clean lines and uncluttered appearance of the interior. The outdoor space associated with this apartment measures approximately 27 square metres and faces south, ensuring exposure to sunlight for much of the day. The terrace is equipped with two electric sun awnings, allowing residents to adjust shade levels according to weather conditions and personal preference. The dimensions of this outdoor area provide sufficient room for both a lounge seating arrangement and a dining set, making it suitable for relaxation and outdoor meals. At the rear of the complex, residents have access to a garage situated on a secured area. This garage measures approximately 39 square metres and can accommodate two vehicles parked side by side. The garage is equipped with electrical power and has a connection point for an electric vehicle charging station. An electric door provides convenient access to the garage space. The building benefits from contemporary insulation standards combined with a geothermal heating system, resulting in very low energy consumption. The property holds an A+++ energy rating, which represents the highest level of energy efficiency currently available. Heating is provided through geothermal energy and a heat pump, with warm water supplied via geothermal energy and an electric boiler. These systems contribute to reduced energy costs and a smaller environmental footprint compared to conventional heating methods. The property is classified as a monument, acknowledging its historical and architectural significance as a former church building. Despite this status, the interior has been fully modernised to meet current living standards. The construction of the conversion was completed around 2023, meaning the apartment and its systems are essentially new. The homeowners association for this complex is properly established and maintained. The association is registered with the Chamber of Commerce, holds annual general meetings, collects periodic contributions, maintains a reserve fund, has an established maintenance plan, and has arranged building insurance. The monthly VvE contribution is 329.43 euros, which covers the shared costs of maintaining the common areas and the building structure. The property comes with a Woningborg Guarantee Certificate, providing assurance regarding the quality of the construction work carried out during the conversion. This certificate offers protection to the buyer regarding any structural defects that may emerge within the guarantee period. The total living area of the apartment is approximately 143 square metres. The volume of the apartment is 471 cubic metres. With only one bedroom, the living space is particularly generous relative to the number of sleeping rooms, making this property well suited for individuals or couples who value extensive living space over multiple bedrooms. The asking price for this property is 889000 euros, which translates to approximately 6217 euros per square metre of living space. The property is offered on a costs buyer basis, meaning that transfer taxes and notary fees are payable by the purchaser in addition to the purchase price. To secure the transaction, the buyer is required to provide either a bank guarantee or a deposit equal to ten percent of the purchase price through a notary. The acceptance date is subject to negotiation, allowing flexibility for both the seller and the buyer to agree on a mutually convenient transfer timeline. The property status is currently listed as available, indicating that it is actively on the market and open to offers.
