Historic Studio Apartment in Monumental Building Near Vrijthof

This studio apartment is located on the second floor of a distinguished national monument building situated in the heart of Maastricht, just steps away from the famous Vrijthof square. The building entrance is on Leliestraat 24, while the main facade faces Vrijthof 12. Several years ago, this historic structure was carefully converted into several studios and apartments, successfully blending modern amenities with preserved historical character and authentic architectural elements.

The studio with house number 24 C02 offers approximately 29 square meters of living space. The windows of the combined living and sleeping area face a quiet internal courtyard (patio) within the historic building complex, providing a peaceful retreat from the bustling city center while still being centrally located.

Throughout the building, residents can appreciate various authentic features that have been preserved during the renovation. These include high ceilings decorated with ornamental details, original mantelpieces, wooden flooring, and large window frames fitted with double soundproof glazing. These elements collectively contribute to an excellent living experience, providing abundant natural light and a sense of spaciousness despite the compact floor plan.

The internal layout of the studio is efficiently organized. The main space serves as both living area and bedroom. Adjacent to this area is a modern metal kitchen installation featuring upper and lower cabinets, a stainless steel work surface with a two-burner induction cooktop and sink, a single-handle mixer tap, a combination microwave oven, a refrigerator with freezer compartment, an extractor hood, and a compact built-in dishwasher.

The bathroom is modern and well-appointed, containing a single vanity sink with a cabinet below and an illuminated mirror, a walk-in shower with a clear glass sliding door, a wall-hung toilet with a concealed cistern, mechanical ventilation, and a towel radiator.

The building comprises a total of seven studios and apartments spread across the first through third floors, ranging in size from 22 to 85 square meters. Each unit has its own official house number and apartment rights, making them suitable as registered addresses for students attending nearby universities or as pied-a-terre accommodations for those wishing to spend time in this prime location.

Heating is provided through a central block heating system installed in 2016, utilizing a CV combination boiler with a boiler and thermostatic radiator valves. Mechanical ventilation is present throughout the unit. Residents have access to communal washing machines and dryers located within the building.

The monthly service costs of 127 euros serve as an advance payment covering heat consumption through the central heating system, water usage, and electricity (measured via an individual sub-meter in the unit). The Homeowners Association (VvE) contribution amounts to 145.37 euros per month and includes, proportionate to the apartment share: building insurance, daily maintenance, cleaning costs for the building, advance payments for general electricity and water consumption, association expenses (administration and management, meeting costs, bank charges, miscellaneous and contingency), and reserves for major maintenance.

The VvE is properly registered with the Chamber of Commerce, holds annual meetings, collects periodic contributions, maintains a reserve fund, has a maintenance plan in place, and has arranged building insurance.

The location of this studio is exceptional by any standard. Situated virtually directly adjacent to the Vrijthof, residents have immediate access to the Amorsplein and the Markt square with their numerous terrace cafes, boutique shops, restaurants, and specialty stores. Maastricht University facilities including the Faculties of Law, International Business, and Business and Economics, as well as the UM Library, are all within comfortable walking distance. Public transportation connections, cultural facilities such as the Theater aan het Vrijthof, beautiful city parks, and the world-famous monumental inner city are all easily accessible on foot.

For automobile owners, parking is available in the Q-Park Vrijthof parking garage, where residents can obtain a special subscription at reduced rates. The entrance via the quiet Leliestraat provides a charming and safe approach to the building, contrasting pleasantly with the vibrant atmosphere of the nearby squares.

The property holds a definitive energy label A rating, valid until September 26, 2034. The building features roof insulation, double glazing, and additional interior windows (voorzetramen) contributing to its excellent energy performance.

The studio is currently tenanted and will be available for transfer in its current condition (as-is) from August 1, 2026. Some of the furniture visible in the property may be available for separate purchase by negotiation. As the seller has not personally occupied the apartment, a non-self-occupancy clause will be included in the purchase agreement.

The purchase agreement will be drafted according to the standard NVM model. The seller explicitly states that a sale will only be concluded when agreement has been reached on all main points (including the purchase price) and details (including the transfer date), buyers can demonstrate that they have investigated the financial feasibility of their purchase, and the agreement has been recorded in writing in a purchase agreement signed by both buyer and seller.

Notary selection is left to the buyer's discretion, as the apartment rights are 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.

It is worth noting that the seller has indicated this studio can potentially be combined with the adjacent studio numbered 24C03, which has direct views of the Vrijthof square. Such a combination could allow one unit to serve as a living room while this studio (24C02) functions as a second bedroom, creating a more spacious overall living arrangement in this prime central location.
