Description

The property at Hexstraat 68 in Meerssen presents a rare opportunity to acquire a large building with a distinctive history. Constructed in 1955 the structure originally served as a restaurant and has been maintained with the basic layout intact. The building sits on a plot that measures 227 square metres and offers a total living area of 263 square metres. The internal volume is recorded as 1 248 cubic metres, indicating generous ceiling heights throughout the main floors.

On the ground floor a spacious area of approximately 50 square metres formerly arranged as a dining space is available. This room can be adapted to serve as a living room, a family room or any other large communal area. Adjacent to this space a fully equipped closed kitchen provides the possibility of retaining a commercial style layout or converting to a residential kitchen configuration. The ground floor also contains toilet facilities and a sizeable storage cellar. Additional storage rooms are distributed across the site, offering flexible options for hobby spaces, work areas or future garden rooms.

The cellar level includes several practical storage compartments and a cooling room that was likely used for food preservation during the building's restaurant phase. These spaces are finished with concrete walls and can be finished to a higher standard if desired. The presence of a dedicated cooling area adds a unique functional element that could be repurposed for wine storage, a workshop or any specialized use.

Access to the first floor is provided by an original staircase that retains many period details. The upper level contains five separate sleeping chambers. Room one measures 3.71 metres by 3.31 metres, offering a comfortable footprint for a bedroom or office. Room two is 2.89 metres by 4.93 metres, providing a slightly larger rectangular space. Room three measures 3.78 metres by 4.93 metres and is similarly sized to room two. Room four is 2.82 metres by 3.89 metres, while room five is 3.39 metres by 2.94 metres. In addition to the sleeping rooms a simple bathroom is located on this floor together with a small kitchen block that could serve as a secondary kitchen or pantry area.

The second floor is reached via a fixed stair and hosts a number of additional rooms whose exact purpose is not specified in the source material. The layout includes the central heating installation and provides further flexibility for creating extra living space, a studio, or additional storage. The presence of a permanent stair ensures easy movement between levels without the need for external ladders.

Externally the property benefits from a constructed stone garage capable of housing a single vehicle. The garage is attached to the main building and shares the same roof line, preserving the visual cohesion of the site. The surrounding neighbourhood is a residential area with a mixture of single family homes and small apartment blocks. Public transport options are available within a short walking distance, and local amenities such as shops, schools and parks are easily reachable.

The building is equipped with natural ventilation throughout, double glazed windows and a gas fired combination boiler installed in 1990. The boiler is owned by the current holder and supplies both heating and hot water. An additional gas boiler is listed as a rental item, indicating the possibility of a secondary heating source if required. The energy label is recorded as G, suggesting that the property may benefit from energy efficiency upgrades. Insulation is present in the roof and walls, but the overall performance reflects the age of the construction.

Legal information states that the property is held in full ownership and the sale will be concluded only after a signed purchase agreement. The typical period for any conditional clauses such as financing is four to six weeks after the verbal agreement. A security deposit of ten percent of the purchase price is required, to be deposited with the notary within two weeks after the conditions have been cleared. The buyer retains the right to commission a building inspection at their own expense before finalising the transaction.

Overall the property offers a substantial amount of space on a modestly sized plot. The combination of a large ground floor area, five bedrooms, multiple storage rooms and a garage creates a versatile platform for a family, a professional who works from home or an investor seeking to convert the building into multiple residential units. The existing structure provides the framework for a unique home with character, while the lack of extensive recent renovations means that the new owner can shape the interior to suit personal tastes and functional requirements. The listing price is positioned at € 299 000 plus buyer costs, reflecting the size, location and potential of the site. Potential buyers are encouraged to visit the property, assess the condition and consider the range of possibilities that the generous floor plan and historic charm present.
