- Relatively low VvE contributions of 75 euros per month for a property of this size and location.
Downsides
- The property is located on a busy road according to the listing features, which may result in traffic noise affecting the living experience.
- No private parking is included with the apartment, requiring residents to rely on public parking spaces and permit systems in the area.
- The VvE does not have a reserve fund, which could mean unexpected costs need to be shared among owners when major maintenance arises.
- The attic space of 40 square meters is only accessible via a pull-down ladder, limiting its practical use to storage rather than potential additional living space.
- The building dates from 1928, and despite thorough renovation, older structures may have inherent limitations that new construction does not present.
Description
This spacious upper floor apartment, located at Godsweerdersingel in the heart of Roermond, offers a comfortable and characterful living experience. The property was originally built in 1928 and has undergone a comprehensive renovation in 2021, resulting in a home that successfully combines the authentic charm of the 1930s period with modern amenities and contemporary finishes.
The apartment spans a total living area of 147 square meters, distributed across two main living floors with an additional attic space. The building also includes 21 square meters of other indoor space and features a 14 square meter rooftop terrace, which is a notable asset for a central city property.
Upon entering the residence, you are welcomed into a bright and generously proportioned living floor. This level has been designed to create a warm and inviting atmosphere where historical elements harmonize with modern updates. The kitchen is arranged in a practical U-shape and serves as a focal point of the living area. It is equipped with modern appliances and offers ample workspace, making it suitable for those who enjoy cooking. The kitchen installation is new, as part of the 2021 renovation, and presents a clean and contemporary appearance.
Also located on the living floor is a dedicated office or workspace, which has become an increasingly valuable feature for those who work from home. Additionally, this level includes a toilet and a storage closet with connections for a washing machine and dryer, providing practical laundry facilities within the apartment.
The upper level of the apartment houses the sleeping quarters and the main bathroom. There are three spacious bedrooms on this floor, each offering sufficient natural light and built-in closet space. These rooms provide comfortable accommodation for family members or can serve as guest rooms, hobby spaces, or additional work areas depending on the needs of the residents.
The fourth bedroom mentioned in the listing is the home office space located on the first living floor, bringing the total number of sleeping areas to four. This flexible arrangement allows residents to configure the space according to their lifestyle requirements.
The bathroom has been completely renewed during the renovation and features high-quality finishes including concrete ciré wall treatments. It is equipped with a bathtub, a walk-in shower, a toilet, and a double vanity unit. The use of consistent materials throughout the bathroom creates a cohesive and stylish appearance. A separate toilet room on the lower floor also features the same concrete ciré finish, maintaining design consistency.
The staircase connecting the floors has been renovated, contributing to the overall sense of quality and attention to detail evident throughout the property.
Access to the attic is provided via a pull-down ladder. This attic space measures approximately 40 square meters and serves primarily as storage area. While not a full living floor, this additional space is valuable for storing seasonal items, luggage, and other belongings that residents may not need on a daily basis.
The rooftop terrace of 14 square meters represents a significant advantage for this city center property. Outdoor space is often limited in central locations, and this terrace provides a private area where residents can enjoy fresh air, morning coffee, or evening meals outdoors. The terrace receives sunlight throughout the day and offers a pleasant spot for relaxation without leaving the building.
In terms of energy efficiency, the property has been brought up to modern standards. The entire apartment features new plastic window frames with high-performance double glazing rated HR++ and HR+++, which significantly reduces heat loss and improves thermal comfort. Eight solar panels have been installed on the roof, contributing to lower electricity costs. Cavity wall insulation was added in 2024, and the attic floor has been insulated as well. These measures combined result in an energy label B rating, indicating a reasonably efficient property for its age.
Heating and hot water are provided by a Nefit gas-fired combination boiler that was installed in 2015. The mechanical ventilation system ensures good air circulation throughout the apartment, contributing to a healthy indoor climate.
The property is part of an active homeowners association that holds regular meetings and maintains a formal structure with KvK registration. Monthly VvE contributions are set at 75 euros, which is relatively modest for a property of this size. The association has a maintenance plan in place for the building, and building insurance is arranged through the VvE. It should be noted that the association does not currently have a reserve fund, which is worth considering for future planning.
The location of this apartment is one of its strongest attributes. Situated directly in the center of Roermond, residents have immediate access to a wide range of amenities. A supermarket is located just 30 meters from the building, making daily grocery shopping extremely convenient. The popular Designer Outlet Centre is within walking distance, as are numerous restaurants, boutiques, and healthcare facilities.
The Roermond railway station is nearby, providing connections to larger cities for commuters and travelers. For those traveling by car, major highways including the A73, A2, and the German BAB 52 toward Düsseldorf are easily accessible. Parking in the immediate vicinity is available through public parking spaces and permit systems, though private parking is not included with the property.
The asking price for this move-in ready apartment is 399,000 euros, which represents a price per square meter of approximately 2,714 euros based on the living area. The property is offered with a buyer pays all transfer costs arrangement.
This apartment presents itself as a complete package for buyers seeking a centrally located home that requires no additional work. The 2021 renovation addressed all major aspects of the property, from the kitchen and bathroom to the windows and insulation. The combination of historical character elements with modern comfort and efficiency makes this a distinctive offering in the Roermond housing market.
