Bright Corner Apartment with Parking in Sought-After Villapark-Sint Pieter
Key Features
Upsides
- Prime location at the foot of the Sint-Pietersberg nature reserve and within cycling distance of Maastricht city center, offering an excellent balance of tranquility and urban accessibility.
- Corner apartment with large windows on multiple sides, providing abundant natural light and a spacious feel throughout the living areas.
- Private parking space on secured premises at an exceptionally low annual cost of only 40 euros, which is a rare and valuable amenity in this popular Maastricht neighborhood.
- Good energy efficiency with energy label B, comprehensive insulation including roof, wall, floor, and double glazing, plus a modern 2019 central heating boiler.
- Recently established homeowners association (VvE) with clear structure and reasonable monthly costs of 100 euros covering maintenance reserves, insurance, and common area upkeep.
Downsides
- The VvE checklist reveals several concerning gaps: no KvK registration, no annual meetings, no reserve fund, no maintenance plan, and no building insurance formally documented, which may indicate a newly formed and still maturing association.
- Third floor apartment with no elevator mentioned, which could be problematic for elderly residents, those with mobility issues, or when moving furniture and groceries.
- At 5,357 euros per square meter, the asking price is relatively high for the Maastricht apartment market, particularly for a property built in 1996 with 84 square meters of living space.
- The loggia faces Glacisweg, which could result in some traffic noise despite the description mentioning a quiet location.
- Only one bathroom shared between two bedrooms, and the bathroom contains both a bathtub and shower which may feel cramped compared to more modern layouts with separate facilities.
