Detached Bungalow with Spacious Garden in Munstergeleen
Key Features
Description
This detached bungalow is situated on Lichtenberg 13 in the municipality of Munstergeleen, located in the province of Limburg, Netherlands. The property is listed at an asking price of 595,000 euros, which is a buyer's cost price (kosten koper). Munstergeleen is a village that forms part of the municipality of Sittard-Geleen and offers a combination of residential tranquility with good accessibility to nearby urban centers.
The bungalow was originally built in 1960 but underwent a thorough and well-considered renovation in 2020. Since this renovation, the property has been maintained in excellent condition according to the listing description. The building has a total living area of 187 square meters, with an additional 20 square meters of other indoor space and 20 square meters of building-related outdoor space. The total volume of the structure is 500 cubic meters. The property sits on a generous plot of 1,020 square meters, which is notably large for a residential property in a residential area.
The property features a basement level (souterrain) which contains a cellar space measuring 8.12 meters by 4.14 meters, a boiler room of 5.93 meters by 4.80 meters, and a provisions cellar measuring 4.17 meters by 1.27 meters. These basement spaces provide additional storage capacity and house the technical installations of the home.
The ground floor layout begins with an entrance hall measuring 6.70 meters by 1.30 meters. This entrance has a finished appearance and includes a modern electrical meter cabinet and a fully tiled guest toilet. From the entrance, residents and visitors access the main living areas of the bungalow.
The living room measures 7.18 meters by 4.45 meters and is described as light and atmospheric. The floor is finished with wooden planks, and the room features a gas fireplace for supplemental heating and ambiance. Air conditioning is installed in this room for temperature control during warmer months. The living room has sliding doors that open directly to the terrace and garden, creating a connection between the indoor and outdoor living spaces.
Adjacent to the living room is the spacious open kitchen, which serves as the heart of the home. The kitchen has an L-shaped or angled layout with dimensions of 10.87 meters by 4.39 meters, with one section extending to 5.64 meters. This generous kitchen includes a cooking island and is equipped with high-quality built-in appliances. The appliance inventory includes an oven, a steam oven, an induction cooktop with integrated extraction, and a new refrigerator-freezer combination. The integrated extraction system above the induction cooktop eliminates the need for a traditional overhead exhaust hood.
The property contains two bedrooms. The first bedroom measures 4.00 meters by 2.62 meters. The second bedroom is larger at 4.29 meters by 4.14 meters and has air conditioning installed. These dimensions indicate that both bedrooms offer reasonable space for standard bedroom furniture arrangements.
A utility room (bijkeuken) measuring 3.73 meters by 2.28 meters provides practical workspace, likely for laundry appliances and additional storage. This room enhances the functionality of the ground floor layout.
The bathroom has been recently renovated and measures 4.32 meters by 3.14 meters. It features a walk-in shower, a double vanity unit, and a second toilet. These dimensions suggest a spacious bathroom layout that allows for comfortable use.
The garden is a notable feature of this property. The backyard specifically measures 600 square meters with dimensions of 30 meters in depth and 20 meters in width. The garden is oriented to the southeast, which provides good sunlight exposure during the afternoon and evening hours. Access to the rear is possible via a side path (achterom). The garden includes a garden house with a canopy and a wood-burning stove, which has been arranged as an atmospheric outdoor living space. This structure allows for extended outdoor enjoyment during cooler periods.
The property has a large driveway providing ample on-site parking for residents and visitors. The front of the property and parking situation are accommodated on the private grounds.
Regarding energy efficiency, the property has an energy label C. The insulation features include roof insulation, double glazing, wall insulation, and floor insulation. The window frames are a combination of hardwood and plastic (kunststof) with high-efficiency (HR) glazing. The property is also equipped with roller shutters and screens for sun protection and privacy. Thirteen solar panels are installed on the roof, which contribute to reduced electricity costs. The roof itself is approximately seven years old, which means it was replaced around 2017, prior to the 2020 renovation.
The heating system consists of a gas-fired combination boiler (CV-ketel) which is owned by the property owner rather than rented. The property also has a water descaler installed (ontkalker), which can help reduce lime buildup in plumbing fixtures and appliances.
The exterior paintwork has been recently completed, which indicates good ongoing maintenance of the property's appearance and protection of the exterior woodwork.
The property is located in a residential area (woonwijk) on Lichtenberg, which is described as one of the most popular streets in Munstergeleen. A nature area is located literally around the corner from the property, providing direct access to walking and cycling opportunities in natural surroundings. Despite this proximity to nature, daily amenities are said to be within a short distance.
The cadastral designation for the property is MUNSTERGELEEN C 646, with a full ownership situation (volle eigendom), meaning there are no leasehold or ground lease conditions attached to the property.
The property is being offered through Riet Quaden Makelaars & Taxateurs, a real estate agency that can be contacted for viewing arrangements. The acceptance terms are described as "in overleg" (to be discussed), which typically means the moving date is negotiable rather than fixed.
This bungalow represents a property that combines the single-level living convenience of a bungalow type with a spacious plot size that is uncommon in many Dutch residential areas. The 2020 renovation appears to have modernized the property while maintaining the character of a 1960s bungalow. The combination of a large kitchen with cooking island, two bedrooms, a recently renovated bathroom, and extensive outdoor space with a garden pavilion creates a living environment suited for various household compositions.
