Renovated Corner Home with Sunny South-Facing Garden in Weert-Leuken
Key Features
Upsides
- Recent significant renovations including 2024 ground floor insulation, herringbone tile flooring with underfloor heating, and a 2020 bathroom update make the property immediately livable without additional investment.
- The south-facing garden with two covered terraces, artificial grass, and high privacy fencing creates an attractive low-maintenance outdoor space suitable for extended seasonal use.
- Excellent connectivity to major employment centers, with Eindhoven reachable by train in sixteen minutes and the High Tech Campus and ASML accessible by car within thirty-five minutes.
- Practical family location within walking distance of schools, supermarkets, and healthcare facilities on a child-friendly residential street.
- Flexible bedroom configuration allows the current three-bedroom layout to be converted back to four bedrooms if desired, accommodating changing household needs.
Downsides
- The central heating boiler dates from 2003, making it over twenty years old and likely approaching the end of its typical service life, which may require replacement in the near future.
- Parking is limited to public street spaces rather than a private driveway or garage, which could present challenges during peak hours in a family-oriented neighborhood.
- The kitchen, while functional with modern appliances, retains a semi-open configuration with a basic four-burner gas cooktop that may not meet the expectations of buyers seeking a contemporary open-plan cooking and entertaining space.
- The property was originally constructed in 1975, and despite renovation efforts, certain elements characteristic of that construction era may still be present in areas not explicitly updated.
- The attic bedrooms feature sloping ceilings which can limit usable floor space and furniture placement compared to rooms with full-height walls.
Description
This corner residence is situated in the family-friendly Leuken district of Weert and offers a comfortable living environment that has been thoroughly updated over the years. The property presents itself as move-in ready following substantial renovations that have modernized key elements while maintaining the practical layout that characterizes homes from this period.
The ground floor underwent significant improvements in 2024, with the installation of floor insulation and a stylish herringbone wood-look tile floor throughout the living areas. This flooring incorporates comfortable underfloor heating, creating a pleasant climate during the colder months. The living room benefits from air conditioning installed in 2020, ensuring year-round comfort regardless of the season.
The ground floor layout flows logically from the entrance hall through to the main living spaces. The entrance hall provides access to a toilet room finished with modern wall-hung sanitaryware and a small sink, complete with built-in spotlights for adequate illumination. From the hall, the living area opens up to reveal a well-proportioned space divided into distinct zones for relaxation and dining. The seating area at the rear of the property features large windows and a patio door that connects directly to the garden, bringing in abundant natural light and creating a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living. All windows and patio doors on this level are equipped with electrically operated roller shutters for convenience and security.
The dining area occupies the central portion of the living room and provides ample space for a large dining table. A practical staircase cupboard in the middle of the room offers valuable storage space for household items. The kitchen sits at the front of the property in a semi-open arrangement that maintains connection with the dining area while providing its own defined space. The kitchen features a corner layout with various cabinets and drawers, a work surface with sink, a four-burner gas cooktop, extractor hood, combination oven, refrigerator, and dishwasher.
The first floor accommodates three bedrooms and a bathroom that was renovated in 2020. The landing provides access to all rooms and includes a useful wall cupboard for additional storage. The master bedroom is located at the rear of the property and includes air conditioning and electric roller shutters on the windows. This room is notably spacious and could, if desired, be divided back into two separate bedrooms to restore the original four-bedroom configuration of the house. The second bedroom is situated at the front left side of the property and offers flexibility as a bedroom, dressing room, home office, or hobby space. This room also features an electrically operated roller shutter.
The bathroom dates from 2020 and features contemporary fixtures including a walk-in shower with a linear drain, wall-mounted faucets, a hand shower, and a rain shower head. A wall-hung toilet, designer radiator, and a double vanity unit with mirror and integrated lighting complete the bathroom amenities. The window in the bathroom allows natural daylight to enter and is fitted with an electric roller shutter.
A fixed staircase leads to the attic level, which has been finished with laminate flooring and recessed spot lighting throughout. The attic landing houses the solar panel inverter, the central heating boiler, and connections for laundry appliances, while also providing substantial storage space in the sloping roof sections. The fourth bedroom on this level includes air conditioning and offers sufficient space for a double bed and additional furniture. Like the other rooms, it could serve alternative purposes such as a home office or relaxation space.
The outdoor areas have been designed for low maintenance and enjoyment. The south-facing garden receives excellent sun exposure throughout the day and benefits from a high degree of privacy. Two covered tiled terraces bookend the garden, with one adjacent to the house and another at the rear, both providing sheltered outdoor seating areas. The central section features artificial grass, eliminating the need for regular lawn care. The garden is fully fenced, with a gabion wall fence along one side that adds visual interest. A back gate provides alternative access. Outdoor electrical connections, lighting, and a water tap are all present.
A separate brick storage building at the front of the property offers secure space for bicycle storage and other items, equipped with electricity and lighting.
The Leuken district offers excellent amenities within walking distance, including a new integrated child center (IKC) and a shopping center with major supermarkets, a pharmacy, and a comprehensive health center. The property is located on a residential street where children can play safely. Weert city center and the intercity railway station are just minutes away by car or bicycle, with train connections reaching Eindhoven in approximately sixteen minutes. Highway access to the A2 and various provincial roads makes commuting to employment hubs such as the High Tech Campus and ASML feasible within approximately thirty-five minutes.
The property holds an energy label B, reflecting insulation measures that include roof insulation, double glazing, HR-glass, and wall insulation. Heating is provided by a Nefit gas combination boiler from 2003, supplemented by partial underfloor heating on the ground floor. Solar panels contribute to energy efficiency, and the property is connected to fiber optic and TV cable services. Parking is available on the public street adjacent to the property.
