Key Features
Upsides
- Excellent central location in Weert with shops, restaurants, theater, and train station within walking distance, plus quick highway access to Eindhoven and surrounding areas.
- Energy label A rating achieved through comprehensive insulation including roof, walls, floor, and HR-glass, combined with a modern 2022 Nefit combi boiler and partial underfloor heating.
- High-quality finishes including Siemens appliances, Bora cooktop with integrated extraction, herringbone PVC flooring, steel architectural details, and a designed lighting plan.
- Private rooftop terrace of 7 square meters with views of the Sint-Martinuskerk, offering outdoor space with privacy despite the central urban location.
Downsides
- Limited living space of only 55 square meters with a single bedroom, which may be restrictive for couples or anyone needing additional rooms.
- No private parking available, requiring reliance on paid public parking facilities and garages in the vicinity with an additional subscription cost through the municipality.
- The VvE is not yet fully established, lacking a reserve fund, maintenance plan, and formal periodic contribution structure, which may present uncertainty regarding future maintenance obligations and costs.
- The main living area is located on a souterrain level, which may result in limited natural light compared to ground floor or elevated apartments.
- The price per square meter of 5,618 euros is relatively high for the Weert market, reflecting the unique character but representing a premium for the available space.
Description
The Patio Loft is a distinctive urban residence located within the Highstreet Lofts project in the heart of Weert. This particular loft forms part of a carefully executed transformation project where a notable former commercial building has been converted into five characterful loft apartments. The building dates back to 1971 and features a flat roof covered with bituminous roofing material.
Upon entering the property, one is immediately struck by the authentic loft atmosphere created through large window sections, a void connecting the two levels, steel architectural details, visible construction elements, and a playful floor plan layout. These characteristics are commonly found in quality inner-city redevelopment projects where industrial or commercial spaces are repurposed for residential use. The interior has been finished with high-quality materials while maintaining the original character of the building.
The living space measures approximately 55 square meters and is distributed across two levels, making this a maisonnette-type apartment. The ground level, described as a souterrain, houses the main living area, a luxury open kitchen, the bathroom, and a practical storage room. This lower level benefits from a herringbone pattern PVC floor, underfloor heating, and smooth plastered walls throughout.
The kitchen is designed in a stylish black color scheme and features a wall-mounted configuration equipped with high-end Siemens built-in appliances. A notable feature is the Bora cooktop with integrated extraction, which eliminates the need for a traditional extractor hood and maintains clean lines in the kitchen design. The kitchen also includes an island with a bar seating area, creating a casual spot for meals or socializing.
A striking steel staircase connects the two levels and leads to the upper sleeping floor, which is situated in open connection with the living area below through the void. This architectural choice creates a remarkable spatial effect and allows pleasant natural light to penetrate through the entire apartment. The sleeping area provides access to the outdoor terrace through a glass sliding door.
The rooftop terrace, measuring 7 square meters of building-bound outdoor space, offers a cozy outdoor seating area with a view of the characteristic Sint-Martinuskerk. Despite the central location in the inner city, this elevated position provides surprising tranquility and privacy from the busy streets below.
The bathroom is finished to a luxurious standard and includes a walk-in shower, underfloor heating, a washbasin, and a washbasin cabinet. A separate toilet is also present on the premises. The property features an extensive design lighting plan that enhances the atmosphere throughout the spaces.
The storage room within the apartment has been intelligently incorporated into the overall floor plan. It contains connections for washing appliances, the central heating boiler, and offers additional shelving space for daily necessities. The central heating system consists of a Nefit gas-fired combi boiler from 2022, which is included in the purchase.
Regarding energy efficiency, the property has been awarded energy label A. This excellent rating is achieved through comprehensive insulation measures including roof insulation, high-efficiency glazing (HR-glas), wall insulation, and floor insulation. The property also features mechanical ventilation and has fiber optic cable connections available.
The location of The Patio Loft is undeniably excellent. Situated directly in the center of Weert, the apartment is within immediate proximity of the Muntpassage shopping center, multiple supermarkets, various shops, restaurants, outdoor terraces, and the Munttheater. The NS Intercity train station is within walking distance, providing convenient connections to cities such as Eindhoven, Roermond, and Maastricht. For car travel, the nearby A2 highway offers quick access to Brainport Eindhoven, the High Tech Campus, and ASML.
Parking for residents is available through public parking facilities and parking garages located a short walking distance from the property. The municipality of Weert offers the possibility to subscribe to a parking arrangement for these facilities.
The Owners Association (VvE) for the Highstreet Lofts complex is currently being reactivated and formally structured. Previously, four of the five apartments were owned by a single owner, which reduced the need for an active VvE. Now that multiple apartments have been sold individually, the organization is being formalized. The VvE responsibilities include maintenance of facades, window frames, and common spaces, as well as the building insurance and general management. Each apartment owner is individually responsible for maintenance of their own roof section and their own central heating installation. The intended VvE contribution is approximately 25 euros per month. It should be noted that at the time of listing, the VvE does not yet have annual meetings, a periodic contribution formally established, a reserve fund, or a maintenance plan in place, though the building insurance is arranged.
The property is offered at a asking price of 309,000 euros, which translates to approximately 5,618 euros per square meter of living space. The transfer is to be discussed with the seller. The property is available and the cadastral designation is WEERT O 1881, with full ownership status.
The Patio Loft presents itself as a move-in ready residence that combines the character and atmosphere of a converted commercial building with modern living comfort. The apartment is particularly suited for buyers seeking an alternative to standard housing options, who appreciate architectural details and value a central location in the vibrant heart of Weert.
