Spacious Ground Floor Apartment with Work-From-Home Potential in Heerlen Centre

Located on Oranje Nassaustraat in the centre of Heerlen, this property forms part of a former shop and residential building that has been completely renovated over the past two years to create four contemporary apartments. The entire building has been modernised to meet current standards and requirements. The roof has been replaced with a well insulated alternative, the window frames have been renewed with high efficiency double glazing, the rear facades have been fitted with a thick insulation package, and solar panels have been installed on the roof, with each apartment having six panels in their ownership. Internally, the layout has been reconfigured and all structural elements have been assessed and renewed where necessary. All piping, ceilings and walls have been replaced. The sanitary facilities, comprising two toilets and a bathroom, have been tastefully finished. These comprehensive improvements have resulted in an A+ energy label for the property.

Huisnummer 20 is situated on the ground floor and features two entrances. One entrance is accessed via the central hallway, which also provides access to the bicycle storage. The second entrance leads directly into the apartment from the street. This double entrance arrangement creates the possibility to combine living and working in one location, or simply to enjoy exceptionally spacious living accommodation. The apartment has a living area of 153 square metres, which does not include the large basement measuring approximately 32 square metres.

Upon entering through the hall, which has an adjacent guest toilet, you reach a large open space with multiple distinct areas. This space covers approximately 80 square metres and accommodates the living room, the kitchen area, and potentially a practice or office space. The layout offers flexibility in determining where to position the kitchen, which the new owner will purchase and install themselves. From this main living area, a sliding door leads to the first outdoor space, a patio, which ensures the interior receives plenty of natural light. The basement of approximately 32 square metres is also accessible from this area. The basement currently has no designated function but could serve various purposes such as a hobby room, storage area, or television room.

At the rear of the apartment are two generously sized bedrooms, the second separate toilet, the bathroom, and the laundry and boiler room. The bedrooms measure approximately 22 square metres and 15 square metres respectively. The larger bedroom borders the patio. Through the second bedroom, the second outdoor space of approximately 13 square metres can be reached, offering a high degree of privacy despite being located in the city centre. The modern bathroom is fitted with a walk in shower and a bathroom cabinet with double washbasin.

The apartments are nearly completion stage. The new owner will still need to install the kitchen, paint the walls and ceilings, and lay the floor coverings. Once these finishing tasks are completed, the property will be ready to enjoy as a new home in a quiet location within the centre of Heerlen.

The monthly contribution to the homeowners association amounts to 229 euros. For residents who own a car, a parking space in the nearby De Klomp car park costs 128.01 euros per month. This cost can be reduced by choosing an adapted subscription, for example one that covers only evening and weekend parking. There are also possibilities to purchase a covered parking space, which can be explained during a viewing.

The property is classified as an existing building with a construction year of 1910, though the extensive renovations mean the apartment essentially offers modern standards within a historic structure. The roof type is a gable roof covered with tiles. The building is noted as being accessible for elderly residents. The total volume of the apartment is 674 cubic metres.

In terms of energy performance, the A+ label reflects the substantial insulation and efficiency measures implemented during the renovation. These include roof insulation and high efficiency glazing. Heating is provided by a communal gas fired central heating boiler dating from 2025, which is owned by the homeowners association.

The cadastral designation is HEERLEN D 10056 with full ownership status. The outdoor space is described as a rear garden and patio or atrium, with the rear garden measuring 13 square metres, being 3.75 metres deep and 3.41 metres wide, and oriented towards the east. Parking facilities in the area consist of paid on street parking and a car park.

The homeowners association is registered with the Chamber of Commerce. There is a periodic contribution of 229 euros per month. An maintenance plan is in place and building insurance has been arranged. However, it is noted that no reserve fund has been established and annual general meetings are not held, which prospective buyers may wish to enquire about further.

The asking price is 369000 euros payable by the buyer, which translates to approximately 2412 euros per square metre of living space. The property is currently available and the acceptance terms are to be negotiated.
