Description
This property is a move-in ready terraced house situated in a desirable location in Born. The home offers convenient access to local shops within walking distance and provides excellent connections to main roads and the highway network. The property has been well maintained by the current owners and presents a thoughtful layout across three living floors.
The exterior of the property features hardwood window frames throughout, all fitted with double glazing for improved energy efficiency. The bedrooms are equipped with shutters, while the living room has a screen for sun protection. Two air conditioning units have been installed, one in the living area and one on the second floor, providing both cooling and heating capabilities for additional comfort throughout the year.
Entering the property through the hall, you will find the meter cabinet which houses an automatic electrical distribution board. The ground floor also contains a separate toilet room. The hall provides access to the spacious living kitchen, which features double doors opening to the rear garden. A service hatch connects the kitchen to the living room above. The kitchen is generously proportioned and includes an induction cooktop, extractor hood, refrigerator, and dishwasher.
The first floor contains the main living room, one bedroom, and the recently renovated bathroom. The living room is particularly noteworthy for its impressive void that extends up from the kitchen below, allowing natural light to flow through the space. This room is equipped with a screen and an air conditioning unit. The bathroom has been completely renewed and finished to a high standard, featuring a double vanity, bathroom furniture, a second toilet, and a walk-in shower. The floor heating in the bathroom adds to the comfort level.

The rear garden has been attractively landscaped and measures 72 square meters with a depth of 12 meters and a width of 6 meters. The garden is west-facing, which means it benefits from afternoon and evening sunlight. At the rear of the garden stands a wooden storage shed with a pleasant canopy, providing a covered outdoor seating area.
Built in 2003, this home has an energy label A+ rating, indicating excellent energy efficiency. The property benefits from comprehensive insulation including roof insulation, wall insulation, and floor insulation. The heating system consists of a Nefit HR gas-fired combination boiler installed in 2024, which is included in the sale as owned property.
The total living area measures 129 square meters, with an additional 21 square meters of indoor space and 8 square meters of external storage. The plot covers 185 square meters, and the property has a volume of 500 cubic meters. The roof is a flat roof covered with bituminous roofing material.
The location on a quiet road offers a peaceful residential setting while maintaining proximity to the town center with its variety of shops for daily necessities. Parking is available on the enclosed property, on private ground, and in public parking areas nearby.
The property is offered at 385,000 euros buyer's costs, which translates to approximately 2,984 euros per square meter of living space. The transfer is available by mutual agreement, and a deposit or bank guarantee of 10 percent of the purchase price is required one week after the expiration of any resolutive conditions. Prospective buyers are advised to arrange their own structural survey if desired to gain insight into the condition of the property.
