Description
This property is offered for sale in the Vrieheidepark area of Heerlen. The house stands at the edge of the Vrieheide residential zone and was built in 1962. It has been updated over recent years and now presents a modern appearance while retaining the solid structure of its original construction. The home is classified as a terraced house and offers a total living area of approximately 136 square metres spread over three distinct levels. The plot measures roughly 173 square metres and includes a tiled rear garden that is fully enclosed and designed for low maintenance.
The ground floor provides a flexible layout that can accommodate guests, a home office or caretaker arrangements. Upon entry, a hallway leads to a spacious room and a second bathroom, creating a practical environment for daily living. Adjacent to these spaces is a self contained apartment on the same level. This apartment contains a bedroom, a living room, an open kitchen, a hallway and a newly installed central heating system dating from 2023. The presence of a separate apartment on the ground floor adds versatility and potential rental income.
Moving to the first floor, the focus shifts to cooking and family living. The kitchen is positioned at the front of the house and follows an L shape that offers generous countertop space and storage. Built in appliances include an induction cooktop, a combination oven, a dishwasher and a refrigerator. An adjoining breakfast bar provides additional seating and a casual dining option. Through the kitchen, a hallway connects to the living room, which is located at the rear of the property and benefits from abundant natural light. Large windows open onto a sizeable balcony that measures roughly six by seven metres. From this balcony, residents can step directly onto a roof terrace that has been in place for about six years. The living area is sized at approximately four point six seven metres by four point seven four metres, offering ample space for furniture arrangements and entertaining.
The second floor contains the sleeping quarters and the main bathroom. Two well proportioned bedrooms are situated side by side. One of the bedrooms enjoys direct access to a second balcony, providing a private outdoor retreat. Both rooms are suitable for standard bedroom furniture and include built in wardrobes. The bathroom is fitted with a walk‑in shower, a modern design radiator, a sink cabinet and a separate toilet. The bathroom dimensions are roughly three point one nine metres by three point six four metres. The layout of the upper floor separates sleeping areas from the more public spaces below, creating a quiet environment for rest.
Outside, the property offers a private rear garden that is tiled and measures approximately twelve by six metres. The garden is surrounded by a fence that ensures privacy and includes two covered sections, allowing outdoor use in various weather conditions. A storage shed is positioned at the rear of the garden and a side entrance provides convenient access to the outdoor area. In front of the house, parking spaces are available on the private land, and additional public parking is located nearby. A small playground area is situated at the rear of the property, offering a safe space for children to play.
The neighbourhood of Vrieheide is part of a larger municipal insulation project that provides subsidies and a free energy saving plan. Although the current energy label is E, the home benefits from recent improvements such as new double glazed plastic frames, roller shutters and a central heating system installed in 2016 and serviced in 2023. The roof is flat and covered with bituminous material, and the property is equipped with television cable connections.
Local amenities are within easy reach. Supermarkets and shops can be accessed by bike in about five minutes, while the centre of Heerlen is roughly ten minutes away by bicycle. Schools, sports facilities and public transport stops are situated close to the residence, making daily routines convenient for families. Major road arteries such as the N300, the A76 and the A79 are quickly reachable, providing routes toward Maastricht, Sittard, Liège, Hasselt and Aachen.
In summary, the house presents a functional three level layout, modernised interior finishes, a private garden, two balconies and a roof terrace. The presence of a ground floor apartment adds flexibility for extended family or rental possibilities. The location offers a quiet residential setting with easy access to shops, schools, public transport and major motorways. Energy efficiency measures are supported by a municipal programme, and the property is sold in its current condition as observed during viewing.
