Charming 17th Century Monumental Terraced House in City Center
Key Features
Upsides
- Mixed-use zoning allows for living, working, hospitality, or a combination, offering exceptional flexibility for various lifestyles and business models.
- Historic monument status from 1675 with characteristic features including a stepped gable, beamed ceilings, and old floor tiles that provide unique character and charm.
- City center location in Vlissingen places all urban amenities, shopping, dining, and cultural attractions within immediate walking distance.
- Recent renovations including a brand new kitchen with modern appliances, an expanded and updated bathroom, and a new toilet room provide modern comfort alongside historic character.
- Solid mechanical systems with a relatively new CV combi boiler from 2017 (Nefit Proline) and mechanical ventilation already installed.
Downsides
- Single glazing with wooden frames means poor insulation and higher energy costs, which is notable given the Energy Label C rating may primarily reflect roof insulation only.
- Limited living space at only 69 square meters with just 1 formal bedroom makes this property unsuitable for larger households or those needing more room.
- Paid parking is required in the area, adding ongoing costs for residents or visitors who need to park near the property.
- Monument restrictions likely apply to any exterior or significant interior changes due to the rijksmonument status, which can complicate or prevent desired renovations.
- Small plot size of only 32 square meters means virtually no outdoor space such as a garden or patio area.
Description
This remarkable property presents a unique opportunity to acquire a national monument dating back to 1675, situated in the vibrant heart of Vlissingen. The building features a characteristic stepped gable facade that immediately catches the eye and reflects the rich architectural heritage of the region. The property is offered by Monique Facchin makelaars & taxateurs and stands out for its versatile zoning, allowing for residential use, commercial use, hospitality purposes, or a combination thereof.
The ground floor encompasses approximately 26 square meters of multifunctional space. This area exudes character through its authentic old floor tiles and a beautiful beamed ceiling that gives the room a warm and inviting atmosphere. A new toilet room has been installed, along with a separate laundry area, making this level practical for various purposes. The space could serve as a home office, reception area, or retail space depending on the buyer's needs and plans.
Moving to the first floor, visitors will find another approximately 26 square meters of well-utilized space. This level can function as either a living area or a bedroom, offering flexibility in how the property is arranged. The beamed ceiling continues here, maintaining the historic ambiance throughout the building. A brand new kitchen has been installed on this floor, equipped with modern built-in appliances including an induction cooktop, extractor hood, dishwasher, and refrigerator-freezer combination. Ample storage space is available through cabinets, practical drawers, and a convenient apothecary cabinet that adds both functionality and charm.
The second floor consists of an open attic space of approximately 14 square meters. This area houses the central heating combi boiler, a Nefit Proline model from 2017, as well as the mechanical ventilation system. Despite being an open space, this level can serve well as an additional bedroom. The bathroom on this floor has recently been renovated and expanded, now featuring a hanging toilet, a vanity unit, and a walk-in shower. These modern amenities contrast pleasantly with the historic character of the building.
The property benefits from roof insulation, contributing to its Energy Label C rating. The windows feature wooden frames with single glazing, which is typical for a monument of this age but does mean that energy efficiency could be further improved. The total living area measures approximately 69 square meters, with a building volume of approximately 245 cubic meters. The plot size is 32 square meters.
One of the most notable aspects of this property is its mixed-use zoning designation. This flexibility opens up numerous possibilities for the future owner. The property can be used entirely for residential purposes, entirely for commercial purposes, or as an inspiring combination of both. Even certain categories of hospitality establishments are permitted at this location. It should be noted that a second residence is not allowed, although an exception may be granted for a first or second-degree family member, subject to obtaining a permit from the Municipality of Vlissingen.
The location in the city center means that all urban amenities are within easy reach. The bustling shopping streets, restaurants, and cultural attractions of Vlissingen are literally around the corner. Parking is available almost directly in front of the door, though this is paid parking and parking permits may be required, which is typical for a central location in a Dutch city.
The property is classified as a single-family terraced house and was built in 1675, making it nearly 350 years old. It is partially furnished and holds monumental status, which brings both prestige and certain obligations regarding maintenance and alterations. The property is offered at an asking price of 239,000 euros, which translates to approximately 3,464 euros per square meter of living space. The asking price is subject to buyer's costs (kosten koper). Delivery can take place immediately, making this suitable for buyers who need to move quickly.
This property represents a rare opportunity for those seeking a distinctive building with character in a prime central location. The combination of historic features such as beamed ceilings and old floor tiles with modern amenities like a new kitchen and updated bathroom creates an appealing contrast. The flexible zoning adds significant value, as it allows the property to adapt to changing needs over time. Whether the buyer is an entrepreneur looking for a live-work space, a professional seeking a unique home office, or someone who simply appreciates historic architecture in an unbeatable location, this monument offers a solid foundation for various lifestyles and business models.
