Move-in Ready Terraced House with Renovated Basement in Venlo-Oost

Located on a quiet, wide street in the eastern part of Venlo, this well-maintained terraced house offers a comfortable living environment for families or first-time buyers looking to move in without any renovation work. The property at Herman Potgieterstraat 9 combines modern updates with practical living spaces, including a fully renovated basement that adds significant usable area to the home.

The surrounding neighborhood is characteristically family-friendly, with a green play area located directly across the street. This creates a pleasant view from the living room and provides a safe environment for children to play. Daily amenities such as shops and schools are within easy reach, and the center of Venlo can be accessed conveniently by bicycle. The location on a quiet road ensures a peaceful living environment while still maintaining good connectivity to main roads and the broader region.

The property was originally built in 1948 but has received substantial updates over the years to bring it up to modern standards. Most notably, the entire basement was completely renovated in 2023, transforming this underground space into a genuine asset for the home. The basement features a clean tile floor and has been set up to serve as a second living area, hobby room, or additional bedroom depending on the needs of the occupants. A practical laundry room with connections for both a washing machine and dryer has been incorporated into this level, along with additional storage space. This renovation effectively increases the functional living area well beyond the 77 square meters of the main living floors.

Access to the main living areas is provided through a hallway on the ground floor, which leads via a short flight of stairs to the living room, kitchen, toilet area, and the staircase to the first floor. The living room is bright and airy, benefiting from large windows that allow plenty of natural light to enter the space. Air conditioning has been installed to ensure comfort during warmer months. French doors open directly onto the garden, creating a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living. The positioning of the property allows for an unobstructed view of the play area across the street, adding to the sense of space and openness.

The kitchen was updated in 2018 and is equipped with modern appliances suitable for contemporary cooking needs. The installation includes an induction cooktop, extractor hood, combination oven, and dishwasher. Ample cabinet space provides sufficient storage for kitchenware and supplies. The kitchen layout has been designed to maximize efficiency and usability within the available space.

A modern toilet room on the ground floor features a wall-mounted toilet and a small washbasin, finished with contemporary materials and fittings.

The first floor contains three bedrooms, a second toilet room, and the main bathroom. Throughout this level, a durable laminate floor has been installed for easy maintenance. The bedrooms vary in size and can be configured according to the needs of the residents, whether for sleeping, working from home, or other purposes.

The bathroom has been finished to a high standard with floor heating providing warmth underfoot, a rain shower, a vanity unit with washbasin, and a window that allows for natural ventilation. The inclusion of floor heating adds a touch of luxury and ensures comfort during the colder months.

A storage attic is accessible via a pull-down ladder and provides additional space for storing seasonal items, luggage, and other belongings. The central heating boiler is located in this space. The Remeha HR combination boiler dates from 2018 and is subject to a rental contract that can be taken over by the new owner.

The rear garden has been designed with low maintenance in mind, featuring paving throughout. A covered pergola or overkapping was installed in 2018, creating a sheltered outdoor seating area that can be enjoyed regardless of weather conditions. A freestanding wooden shed provides secure storage for garden tools, bicycles, and other outdoor equipment. The garden measures 58 square meters with dimensions of approximately 9.75 meters in depth and 5.95 meters in width. The northwest orientation means the garden receives afternoon and evening sun. Access to the rear is available via a side path, which is practical for bringing items through without having to pass through the house.

Energy efficiency is a notable feature of this property, as evidenced by its A energy label. Nine solar panels have been installed on the roof to generate electricity and reduce energy costs. The windows feature HR++ double glazing throughout, with the exception of the front door. Both roof and wall insulation were added in 2001, significantly improving the thermal performance of the building envelope compared to its original 1948 construction standards.

The asking price for this property is 340,000 euros, which is equivalent to approximately 4,416 euros per square meter of living space. Transfer costs are payable by the buyer as is customary in the Netherlands. The acceptance date is to be agreed upon between buyer and seller, allowing for flexibility in the transaction timeline.

The property is offered with full ownership of the land, as confirmed by the cadastral registration showing 135 square meters of land in section F 3516 of the Venlo municipality records.

Parking in the area is available on public streets, which is typical for residential neighborhoods of this type in Venlo. The absence of a private parking space is reflected in the reasonable price point for the property.

Recent inspection of the sewer system provides additional peace of mind regarding one of the more critical and often hidden aspects of older properties. This proactive maintenance approach suggests that the current owners have taken good care of the home overall.

In summary, this terraced house on Herman Potgieterstraat offers a combination of original character and modern updates that make it suitable for immediate occupation. The renovated basement significantly expands the usable space, while the energy label A rating and solar panels help keep ongoing costs manageable. The family-friendly location in Venlo-Oost provides a pleasant living environment with convenient access to urban amenities.
