Key Features
Upsides
- Quiet location on a dead-end street in the popular Amby neighborhood with green surroundings and good accessibility to Maastricht center and main roads.
- Spacious garage measuring 8.50 by 3.01 meters with roller door, water connection, and drainage, plus a private driveway.

Description
This semi-detached house is situated in the residential neighborhood of Amby in Maastricht. The property is located on a dead-end street, which contributes to a quiet and peaceful living environment. The area of Amby is known for its pleasant residential character and green surroundings. The location offers good accessibility to the center of Maastricht as well as to the main roads leading out of the city. Daily amenities are available within close reach.
The house was originally built in 1968 and has since been expanded with an attic floor featuring dormer windows. This addition has provided the property with an extra bedroom and practical storage space, significantly increasing the overall living comfort. The total living area measures 140 square meters, complemented by 25 square meters of other indoor space and 6 square meters of outdoor space attached to the building. The plot covers 205 square meters with a total building volume of 587 cubic meters.
The ground floor layout begins with an entrance hall that provides access to the meter cupboard and a stair cupboard for additional storage. A toilet room with a small sink is located near the entrance. The kitchen is situated in a closed configuration with a corner setup. The kitchen is equipped with a gas cooktop, an extractor hood, an oven, and a refrigerator. From the kitchen, one can access the garden room, which serves as an intermediate space between the indoor living areas and the outdoor garden.
The living room features a fireplace, providing a focal point for the room and an additional heating option during colder months. The garden room leads directly to the enclosed garden and the garage. The garage is notably spacious, measuring 8.50 meters in length and 3.01 meters in width. It is equipped with a roller door and has both water connection and drainage facilities, making it suitable not only for parking but also for various practical uses or as a workshop space.
The first floor of the property is accessed via a staircase from the ground floor. This level contains three bedrooms and the main bathroom. The bathroom was renovated in 2009 and includes a walk-in shower, a washbasin with a vanity unit, and a second toilet. This arrangement provides convenience for the bedrooms on this floor.
The attic floor is reached via a fixed staircase, indicating that this level is designed for regular use rather than just occasional storage access. A dormer window has been installed at the rear of the property, bringing natural light into this space. The attic accommodates the fourth bedroom, a large landing area, and a separate storage room. This layout makes the attic floor functional as a proper living space rather than merely a storage area.
The property has an energy label C. The window frames are made of hardwood, with part of the glazing being double glazed. Roller shutters are present on the property, which can provide both privacy and additional insulation. The central heating system consists of a combi boiler that was installed in 2013 and is included in the purchase. This boiler is relatively modern and should provide reliable heating and hot water for the foreseeable future.
The roof is a gable roof covered with tiles, which is a common and durable roofing type for homes of this era and style in the Netherlands. The property is offered with full ownership (volle eigendom), and the asking price is 375,000 euros, which translates to approximately 2,679 euros per square meter of living space. The transfer is available for negotiation in terms of timing.
The cadastral designation for this property is MAASTRICHT R 176, with the plot measuring 205 square meters as registered with the land registry. The property is classified as a single-family home in the category of a linked two-under-one-roof dwelling, which corresponds to what is commonly referred to as a semi-detached house.
The combination of features offered by this property includes the practical advantage of having a private driveway and a large garage, which is particularly valuable in an urban setting where parking can be challenging. The garden room adds an extra dimension to the ground floor living space, providing a transition area that can be used in various ways depending on the needs of the occupants.
The dead-end street location ensures minimal through traffic, contributing to a safe and quiet environment that is especially appreciated by families with children. At the same time, the position within the Amby neighborhood means that the conveniences of urban living, including shops, schools, and public transport, remain easily accessible.
The property presents a solid foundation with several notable updates, including the attic expansion, the bathroom renovation, and the relatively modern heating system. The hardwood window frames, while requiring maintenance, are a quality feature that adds to the character of the home. The partial double glazing indicates that some window upgrades have been undertaken, though there remains potential for further energy efficiency improvements.
