Characteristic corner property with living and retail space in Waalwijk
Key Features
Description
This characteristic corner property is situated at St. Antoniusplein in the town of Waalwijk. The building combines retail space on the ground floor with residential accommodation on the upper levels, offering an interesting opportunity for those looking to combine living and working in one location.
The property was originally constructed in 1920 and has since maintained its distinctive character. The corner position gives the building an open and pleasant feel, while the exterior presents an appealing traditional appearance that fits well within the surrounding neighborhood.
The ground floor currently functions as a hair salon under a rental agreement. This commercial space includes a small kitchen and a toilet facility. The current rental contract generates an income of 1,120 euros per month and runs until the end of April 2027. There is the possibility for a new owner to take over this existing rental agreement, which provides a steady income stream for the coming years.
Access to the residential part of the property is separate from the commercial space. The first floor houses the main living area, which benefits from large characteristic windows that allow plenty of natural daylight to enter the room. This creates a bright and inviting atmosphere. The living room offers ample space to arrange both a seating area and a dining area according to personal preferences.
Also located on the first floor are two bedrooms, providing comfortable sleeping quarters. The kitchen on this level is of a simple, closed design and is situated at the rear of the property. Behind the kitchen, a basic bathroom has been installed. While all essential facilities are present and functional, these spaces would benefit from modernization to bring them up to contemporary standards. This presents an opportunity for buyers to customize these areas to their own taste and requirements.
The second floor contains two additional bedrooms, bringing the total number of bedrooms to four. A second bathroom is located on this level, equipped with a shower and washbasin. This floor also provides access to the roof terrace, a pleasant outdoor space where one can enjoy a moment of relaxation.
An interesting feature of the second floor is that it has all the necessary provisions to function as an independent studio. This configuration offers various possibilities, such as accommodation for older children, space for guests, facilities for care purposes, or even rental potential to generate additional income.
The roof terrace, although compact in size, provides a welcome outdoor area in the middle of the characteristic 1930s style neighborhood. From this elevated position, there is a view of the church tower of the St. Jan, adding to the pleasant atmosphere of this spot. It is an ideal place for a quiet cup of coffee, an evening drink, or simply a moment to oneself.
The property is located on a pleasant small square in a somewhat older, child friendly neighborhood in Waalwijk. The immediate surroundings have a welcoming atmosphere, and the location combines the benefits of a residential area with proximity to the town center. Public parking is available in the vicinity, providing convenient options for both residents and visitors.
In terms of technical specifications, the property has an energy label C. The roof features insulation, and the windows have double glazing, contributing to the energy efficiency of the building. Heating and hot water are provided by a gas fired combination boiler from the brand Nefit, which was installed in 2008 and is owned by the property. The property is connected to a fiber optic cable, ensuring good internet connectivity options. Natural ventilation is present throughout the building.
The total living area measures 146 square meters, distributed over three living levels. The built outdoor space, consisting of the roof terrace, measures 5 square meters. The total volume of the building is 519 cubic meters. The cadastral designation consists of two parcels, WAALWIJK E 302 measuring 50 square meters and WAALWIJK E 303 measuring 7 square meters, both in full ownership.
The property is classified as a single family corner home, with the specific note that double occupancy is possible. This classification aligns with the current setup where the ground floor serves a commercial purpose while the upper floors are residential.
The asking price for this property is 420,000 euros, with the buyer responsible for the associated purchase costs. This translates to approximately 2,877 euros per square meter of living space. The property is currently available, and the exact date of transfer can be discussed.
For those who see the potential of a property that requires some modernization but offers character and flexibility, this corner building at St. Antoniusplein presents an interesting opportunity. The combination of rental income from the commercial space, the possibility of creating additional rental income from a studio, and the spacious living quarters makes this a versatile property with multiple possibilities for the future.
