Monumental Studio in the Heart of Maastricht's Historic Centre

This attractive studio apartment is situated in a remarkable national monument building at Leliestraat 24 in the historic center of Maastricht. The building, with its main facade facing the prestigious Vrijthof square, houses several studios and apartments that have been carefully modernized while preserving the authentic historical character and original architectural elements. The renovation work was carried out several years ago and has successfully combined modern comfort with the charm and atmosphere of a protected heritage building.

The studio with house number 24 B02 is located on the first floor of the building and features windows overlooking a quiet internal courtyard, providing a peaceful retreat from the bustling city life outside. The living space, which also serves as the sleeping area, is characterized by a high ornamental ceiling with decorative moldings and ornamental details, an authentic mantelpiece that adds visual interest to the room, and large window frames with double soundproof glazing that ensures excellent light ingress while maintaining a serene interior atmosphere. The wooden floor contributes to the warm and inviting character of the space.

The kitchen is a modern metal installation that includes upper and lower cabinets, a stainless steel work surface, a two-burner induction cooktop, a sink with a single-handle mixer tap, a combination microwave oven, a refrigerator with freezer compartment, an extractor hood, and a compact built-in dishwasher. Despite the compact dimensions typical of a studio layout, the kitchen is fully equipped for daily use and meal preparation.

The bathroom is finished to a contemporary standard and features a single vanity unit with a cabinet and an illuminated mirror, a walk-in shower with a clear glass sliding door, a wall-hung toilet with a concealed cistern, mechanical ventilation to prevent moisture issues, and a towel radiator for added comfort. The fixtures and fittings appear to be in good condition and well maintained according to the listing description.

The building benefits from central block heating installed in 2016, utilizing a CV combination boiler with a boiler and thermostatic radiator valves throughout the apartment. This system provides reliable and efficient heating. Mechanical ventilation is present to ensure adequate air circulation throughout the unit. Residents have access to communal washing machines and dryers within the building, which is a practical convenience for a property of this size where space for private laundry equipment would be limited.

The monthly service costs of 108 euros cover an advance payment for heat consumption through the central heating system, water usage, and electricity, with electricity measured via a private sub-meter installed in the unit. The VvE (Homeowners Association) contribution is 112.13 euros per month and includes the building insurance, daily maintenance, cleaning costs for the building, advance payments for communal electricity and water consumption, association administration and management costs, meeting expenses, bank charges, miscellaneous items and contingencies, and reserves for major maintenance.

The VvE is properly established with registration at the Chamber of Commerce, holds annual meetings, collects periodic contributions, maintains a reserve fund for future major maintenance, has a maintenance plan in place, and has arranged building insurance. These are all positive indicators of a well-managed and organized homeowners association.

The location of this studio is exceptional, situated virtually directly at the Vrijthof, one of the most beloved and well-known squares in Maastricht. The Vrijthof is renowned for its cultural significance, hosting events throughout the year and surrounded by important buildings including the Theater aan het Vrijthof. Within minutes on foot, residents can reach the Amorsplein, the Market square with its terraces, boutiques, restaurants, and specialty shops offering a wide range of dining and shopping options.

Maastricht University, including the Faculties of Law, International Business, and Business and Economics, as well as the UM Library, are all within short walking distance. This makes the studio particularly suitable for students or academics working at the university. Excellent public transport connections, cultural facilities including museums and galleries, and beautiful city parks are also nearby, providing a rich urban living environment.

For car owners, parking is available at the Q-Park Vrijthof garage, where special resident subscriptions can be arranged at favorable rates. The entrance to the building is via the quiet and charming Leliestraat, providing a safe and pleasant approach to the property away from the busier main squares.

The property has a definitive energy label B, valid until September 26, 2034. The building dates from before 1906 and features a gabled roof covered with tiles. Insulation includes roof insulation, double glazing, and additional interior windows for improved sound and thermal insulation, which contributes to the comfortable living environment and the favorable energy rating.

The transfer of ownership will take place in the current condition as-is from August 1, 2026. Some of the furniture shown in the listing may be available for separate purchase by agreement with the seller. The property is currently tenanted, which means viewings can only be conducted by appointment through the estate agent TIM Vastgoed. Due to the expected high level of interest, viewing moments may be organized on an inscription basis where interested parties can register for scheduled viewing sessions.

As the seller has not personally occupied the apartment, a non-self-occupancy clause will be included in the purchase agreement to provide legal protection regarding the condition of the property. The purchase agreement will be drafted according to the NVM model, which is the standard model used by Dutch real estate agents affiliated with the NVM association.

The seller has explicitly stated that a sale will only be concluded when agreement has been reached on all main points such as the purchase price and on details such as the handover, when buyers can demonstrate that they have investigated the financial feasibility of their purchase, and when the agreement has been recorded in writing in a purchase agreement signed by both buyer and seller.

The choice of notary is reserved to the buyer, as the apartment right is being sold with costs borne by the buyer (kosten koper). A security deposit or bank guarantee of 10 percent of the purchase price must be provided by the buyer to the relevant notary no later than one week after the purchase becomes unconditional.

With a living area of 22 square meters and a volume of 72 cubic meters, this studio represents a compact yet characterful living space in an absolutely prime location. The asking price is 160,000 euros costs koper, which equates to approximately 7,273 euros per square meter. The property is offered as full ownership (volle eigendom) and is currently available on the market. The property is classified as a portiekflat (apartment with shared entrance) in an existing building that has heritage and monumental status.
