Description
Havenweg 54 is situated in the quiet residential area of Buchten near Born. The property is a two‑storey semi detached house that was built in 1969 and has been extensively modernised over the past several years. The overall living space measures approximately 138 square metres and sits on a 208 square metre plot. A large attached garage measuring about six metres by three metres provides secure parking for one vehicle and includes utility connections for a washing machine. An additional driveway offers space for a second car.
On the ground floor the entrance leads to a spacious hallway that also houses a newly upgraded electricity board. The board now contains ten circuits and a three phase connection, which is useful for households with high power demand. To the left of the entrance is a living room with dimensions of roughly eight point four metres by three point nine five metres. The room features a wood burning stove and a tiled floor. Adjacent to the living area is an open plan kitchen that measures about four metres by two point nine metres. The kitchen is fitted with a functional layout that includes an induction cooktop, an oven installed in 2020, a refrigerator and an extractor hood. The kitchen cabinets are simple and practical.
Continuing through the living space you reach a rear extension that serves as a garden room. This extension measures roughly four point eight five metres by three point two five metres and opens directly onto the living room, creating a fluid flow between indoor and outdoor areas. The extension has a newly replaced roof, new ceiling insulation, roof windows and upgraded wall insulation. The living room itself has recently been replastered, giving it a fresh appearance.
A modern bathroom is located on the ground floor as well. The bathroom was renovated in 2019 and includes a walk‑in shower, a toilet and a contemporary vanity unit. The floor and walls are finished with tiles and the overall design is clean and functional. Adjacent to the bathroom is a small storage space under the stairs.
The front of the house benefits from an unobstructed view, a feature highlighted by the seller. The property is positioned close to the A2 motorway and main access roads that lead to Sittard, the German town of Selfkant and other nearby cities. Public transport is convenient with a bus line that connects Sittard and Maaseik passing close to the house. Local amenities such as schools, shops and leisure facilities are within easy reach in Buchten and Born.
On the first floor there are three bedrooms. The first bedroom is located at the rear of the house and is generously sized at approximately five metres by three point two metres. The second bedroom faces the front of the house and benefits from the free view mentioned earlier. Its dimensions are about three point nine metres by three point two metres. The third bedroom is also at the rear and measures roughly three point five metres by two point eight metres, and it includes a built‑in wardrobe. In 2024 the bathroom on this level was completely renewed. The new bathroom includes a walk‑in shower, a stylish vanity, an infrared heating panel and a toilet. The floor, walls and ceilings have all been newly finished with laminate flooring and fresh plaster.
A third floor is accessed by a fixed staircase. This level contains a fourth bedroom with dimensions of about three metres by three point two five metres. The room is insulated and benefits from a roof window that provides natural light. Additional storage rooms are located on this floor as well as the central heating system, a Remeha combi boiler installed in 2019, which is owned by the property. The ceiling height on this floor is approximately two point zero five metres.
Outside, the property offers both a front garden and a rear garden. The rear garden measures around forty six square metres, is oriented to the south west and was completely re‑landscaped in 2025. It provides privacy and good sun exposure. The front garden is positioned on a quiet side street and also offers a pleasant outlook.
Energy performance is rated as label C. The house benefits from roof insulation, wall insulation and double glazed windows, contributing to a comfortable indoor climate and reasonable energy consumption. The overall condition of the home is described as well maintained with many recent upgrades to the roof, facade, bathroom, kitchen appliances and electrical system.
Potential buyers should be aware that a foundation risk indicator has been assigned to the property based on data from a commercial mapping service. The indicator is presented as an informational rating and does not constitute a guarantee of the actual condition of the foundation. Prospective owners are advised to commission an independent foundation investigation if they consider this aspect important to their decision making.
The seller has chosen a bidding method without a fixed deadline, meaning offers can be submitted at any time and the seller may accept an offer that best matches their expectations. The purchase agreement will only be finalised once all parties have signed the contract, as required by the written form clause. A security deposit of ten percent of the purchase price is standard practice and is explicitly mentioned in the contract. Interested parties are reminded that they have a duty to conduct their own investigations, including a structural survey if desired, and to verify any planning restrictions with the local municipality.
Overall, the property offers a spacious layout, four bedrooms, a modernised bathroom, a functional kitchen, a large garage and a newly landscaped garden. Its location provides easy access to major roads, public transport and local services while retaining a quiet residential atmosphere. The free front view, recent renovations and energy rating make it an attractive option for families seeking a comfortable home with room to grow.
