Description
This spacious apartment is situated on a central and easily accessible location in the city of Weert. The property is located on the fourth residential floor, which corresponds to the third floor in Dutch numbering, of a well-maintained apartment complex on the Louis Regoutstraat. The apartment offers a generous living area of 117 square meters, complemented by a loggia of 9 square meters and an external storage room of 8 square meters. The total volume of the apartment measures 364 cubic meters.
Access to the apartment is provided through a communal entrance on the Louis Regoutstraat, which is equipped with an intercom system and individual mailboxes. From this entrance, residents reach the central reception hall that provides access to both the staircase and elevator leading to the residential floors and the parking garage. This setup ensures convenient and accessible entry to the property regardless of mobility considerations.
Upon entering the apartment itself, one arrives in a practical hallway that houses the electrical meter cupboard and offers space for a coat rack or wardrobe. The hallway also contains a separate toilet room, which is a practical feature for daily living. From this central hallway, both the living room and the first bedroom are accessible.
The living room is generously proportioned and maintains an open connection with the kitchen area. This open layout creates a sense of spaciousness and provides ample room to establish a comfortable seating area as well as a dining section. The open flow between these spaces makes the apartment suitable for various living arrangements and furniture configurations.
The kitchen features a simple wall-mounted layout with basic amenities. While the kitchen is functional, it may benefit from modernization depending on the preferences of future residents. Adjacent to the kitchen, a practical utility room is located. This space contains the connections for a washing machine and dryer, as well as the central heating boiler installation. Additionally, this utility room offers extra space that could accommodate a refrigerator or freezer, helping to keep the main kitchen area uncluttered.
From the living room, the loggia is accessible. This outdoor space provides room for outdoor seating and offers a pleasant view of the green and tree-lined Louis Regoutstraat. The loggia serves as an extension of the living space during warmer months and allows residents to enjoy the outdoor environment from the comfort of their apartment.
The apartment contains three bedrooms in total, making it suitable for families, couples requiring home office space, or individuals who appreciate extra room. The bedrooms are all spacious and offer sufficient space for a double bed and wardrobe furniture. Beyond their primary function as bedrooms, these rooms could also serve as a dressing room, a dedicated home workspace, or a hobby room, providing flexibility in how the space is utilized.
The bathroom is generously sized and fully tiled. It is equipped with a bathtub, a separate shower, and a sink. These features make the bathroom both functional and comfortable for daily use.
The apartment complex itself offers additional amenities for residents. At the rear of the building, a spacious communal inner garden is available, featuring various walking paths, seating areas, and green plantings. This garden area provides a pleasant outdoor space for relaxation and social interaction with neighbors.
One of the significant advantages of this property is the inclusion of a dedicated parking space in the closed parking garage. The parking garage is accessible via both the elevator and staircase from the main building. Vehicles and bicycles can enter the garage through an electrically operated sectional gate with a separate pedestrian door located on the Blekerstraat. Having a guaranteed parking space is a valuable asset, especially in a central urban location.
The location of the apartment is particularly advantageous. It is situated within close proximity to the city center of Weert and the NS Intercity train station, making it convenient for both local amenities and regional travel. The immediate surroundings offer various shops, restaurants, and sports facilities, ensuring that daily necessities and leisure activities are within easy reach.
The favorable position of Weert also means that larger cities such as Eindhoven, Roermond, and Maastricht are easily accessible by both car and public transportation. Important highways including the A2 and various provincial N-roads are readily reachable, facilitating convenient travel throughout the region.
The property falls under an active Homeowners Association, known in Dutch as Vereniging van Eigenaars or VvE. The monthly contribution amounts to 279.99 euros and covers the apartment, the storage room, and the parking space, including the maintenance of the communal areas and the inner garden. The VvE is properly organized with registration at the Chamber of Commerce, annual meetings, periodic contributions, a reserve fund, a maintenance plan, and building insurance in place.
The apartment has been awarded energy label A, indicating good energy efficiency. This is achieved through roof insulation, double glazing, wall insulation, and floor insulation. The heating and hot water are provided by a Nefit gas-fired combination boiler from 2012, which is included in the purchase as owned property.
Prospective buyers should be aware of two particular conditions. First, a project notary will be used for the transaction, although the specific notary has not yet been determined at the time of listing. Second, a non-self-occupancy clause will be included in the purchase agreement. This type of clause typically means that the property cannot be occupied by the buyer as their primary residence, which suggests this apartment may be intended for investment purposes or rental use rather than owner-occupation.
