Description
Located on a quiet street near the historic centre of Grave, this ground floor residence offers a blend of authentic turn of the century character and modern comforts. The building dates from the middle of the 1900s and is recognised as a municipal monument that forms part of a nationally protected cityscape. The property is presented as a ready to move in home that is well suited for first time buyers, single occupants or couples seeking a compact yet refined living environment.
Upon entering through the front door the visitor is greeted by a welcoming hallway that provides access to all rooms. The walls and ceilings have been carefully replastered, creating a clean canvas that highlights the original ornamental details. Light coloured paneling runs along the lower sections of the walls, adding a subtle historic touch. Contemporary LED lighting has been integrated into the ceiling, delivering a warm ambience while remaining energy efficient.
The living area benefits from generous natural light that streams through large windows. Custom made wooden shutters frame the glazing, offering both privacy and a crafted aesthetic. The street facing side of the window is fitted with double glazed units that reduce noise and improve thermal performance, creating a peaceful setting despite the urban surroundings. The floor is finished with cherry wood planks that lend a sense of warmth and elegance to the space.
The kitchen is positioned at the rear of the dwelling and is equipped for everyday living. It includes a dishwasher, an induction hob, an extractor hood and a combined fridge freezer. The layout is practical and allows for easy movement while preparing meals. Under the floor of the kitchen, as well as in the hallway and the bathroom, radiant floor heating has been installed, providing consistent warmth throughout the year.
The bathroom features a walk‑in shower, a separate toilet and a wash basin. All fixtures are contemporary and the overall design is simple and functional. A single bedroom occupies a portion of the ground floor plan. The room is spacious enough to accommodate a large bed and multiple storage units, making it suitable for a range of lifestyle needs.
Additional assets include a private stone storage unit on the ground level that offers extra space for seasonal items or tools. Parking is straightforward; a blue zone spot is located directly beside the property and a resident permit can be obtained through the municipality with minimal effort. For visitors there is also free public parking within a short walking distance.
The residence is part of a small scale owners association. There is no regular monthly contribution required from the owners. When maintenance work is needed the cost is divided, with one third allocated to this unit and two thirds to the adjoining unit at Hamstraat 35a. Documentation from the association is available on request and includes information about special clauses that apply to the sale, such as an asbestos clause and an age clause.
Energy performance is rated as label F, which remains valid until the end of May 2036. The heating system consists of a gas powered combination boiler installed in 2008. The property does not have additional insulation beyond the double glazed windows. Electrical connections support fiber optic cable, natural ventilation and television cable services. The overall living area measures approximately 64 square metres, while the external storage space adds about 2 square metres. The property is listed as full ownership and is classified as a protected city view and monument, which may appeal to buyers interested in heritage properties.
In summary, this ground floor home presents a unique opportunity to own a piece of early twentieth century architecture that has been lovingly maintained and updated for modern living. Its central location, historic status, functional layout and modest size make it an attractive option for those seeking a comfortable and characterful residence in a vibrant town centre.
