Description

This property is a historic townhouse built in 1935 and situated on a quiet and popular street opposite the Vrouw Traaspark in Venlo. The building retains many original features such as stained glass windows, panel doors and porte brisee doors while offering a high level of modern comfort and a refined finish throughout.

The total living area measures approximately 138 square metres. On the ground floor the entrance hall leads to a vestibule with a built in wardrobe that opens onto a spacious living room of about thirty five square metres. The living room is finished with a solid oak floor, tall skirting boards and large windows that display the stained glass detailing. A built in wall unit with multiple compartments and recessed spotlights provides a contemporary touch. The porte brisee doors separate the sitting area from the dining room, creating a distinct yet flowing layout. The dining room includes a built in LED fireplace and an upper cabinet that frames the hearth. A long built in sofa runs along the length of the room, making efficient use of the space.

An extension at the rear of the house expands the dining area and adds a tiled floor with underfloor heating. Large sliding doors open onto a low maintenance garden that is positioned on the east side of the property. The garden is covered by a sizeable roof structure and can be accessed through a rear side gate. The garden area measures roughly twenty eight square metres and offers a pleasant outdoor space that requires little upkeep.

The kitchen is situated at the back of the ground floor and measures about seven point five square metres. It features a tiled floor, a stone work top, an induction hob with integrated extraction, a built in oven, a dishwasher and a refrigerator. Ample storage cupboards are provided and a window offers a view onto the garden.

A separate toilet on the ground floor is fully tiled, equipped with a wall mounted toilet and a small sink. The house is fully insulated, fitted with HR++ double glazed wooden frames, and equipped with external roller shutters, some of which are electrically operated. Air conditioning units are installed on the first and second floor, providing climate control throughout the upper levels.

The first floor is accessed via a staircase that continues from the ground floor. A landing gives entry to three bedrooms, a family bathroom and a door that leads to the staircase for the second floor. The original wooden floors have been retained in the hallway and the bedrooms. The three rooms vary in size: approximately six, eleven and seventeen square metres. Two of the rooms have built in wardrobes, while the third uses an open wardrobe system and includes an air conditioning unit. Both rear bedrooms have direct access to a balcony that overlooks the garden.

The family bathroom on this level contains a bathtub, a separate shower cabin, a wall mounted toilet and a sink with a vanity unit. All fixtures are modern and functional.

The second floor is reached by a fixed staircase and houses a spacious master suite of about thirty square metres. The room benefits from exposed roof beams, a high ceiling and ample natural light that creates a distinctive atmosphere. The master bedroom includes an air conditioning unit and built in wardrobes with concealed storage. An en suite bathroom is attached and features a freestanding bathtub, a walk in shower, a double vanity and a wall mounted toilet. The finishes are of a high standard and complement the historic character of the house.

The cellar is accessed from a hallway on the ground floor. It contains two storage compartments of roughly ten point five and eleven point five square metres each, both finished with tiled flooring. The central heating boiler, an Atag model installed in 2018, is located in the cellar together with the laundry connections.

Energy performance is rated as label C. The property benefits from full insulation, HR++ glazing, roof and wall insulation and a modern gas boiler. Mechanical ventilation and natural ventilation options are present, as well as external sun shades on the front façade. The house is supplied with electricity and water utilities typical for the area.

Location wise the townhouse enjoys a short walking distance to the centre of Venlo, the train station and local schools. A primary school is situated at the end of the same street, making the property convenient for families with children. The surrounding neighbourhood is characterised by quiet streets, mature trees and proximity to the Vrouw Traaspark, providing easy access to green space for recreation.

The asking price for the property is five hundred fifty thousand euros, payable by the buyer. The sale is expected to be completed in the middle of September, allowing the new owner to move in after the summer period. The house is offered in a partially furnished condition, meaning that some built in furniture and fixtures remain in place while other items can be removed according to the buyer’s preference.

Overall the townhouse presents a blend of historic charm and contemporary living standards. The combination of original architectural details, a well maintained condition, modern installations such as air conditioning and underfloor heating, and a convenient location near the city centre and public transport makes it a compelling option for buyers seeking a distinctive residence in Venlo.
