Well-Maintained Terraced Family Home with Sunny Garden in Popular Hoogvonderen
Key Features
Upsides
- The property is located in the popular and peaceful Hoogvonderen neighborhood, which is within cycling distance of Roermond city center and offers good access to main roads including routes to Germany.
- Recent updates include a 2022 Intergas HR central heating boiler, new laminate flooring in the bedrooms, and freshly stuccoed walls ready for personal color choices, reducing the need for immediate investments.
- The fully enclosed rear garden features an approximately 11.7 square meter terrace cover, two wooden storage sheds, and low-maintenance landscaping, providing a private and usable outdoor space.
- The property achieves energy label B with comprehensive insulation including roof, walls, floor, and mostly double glazing, contributing to lower energy costs and improved comfort.
- Parking is available on the property itself with space for at least one car in the front yard, plus additional free parking spaces are located nearby at the rear of the property.
Downsides
- The second floor is only accessible via a pull-down ladder rather than a proper staircase, meaning it cannot be used as additional living space and serves solely as storage.
- With 93 square meters of living space and only three bedrooms, the property may feel limited for larger families or those requiring a home office space.
- Some kitchen appliances including the dishwasher are not automatically included in the purchase but require separate takeover negotiation, adding complexity to the transaction.
- The property dates from 1984, and while certain elements have been updated, a building inspection is recommended to assess the full condition of older components.
- The half-open kitchen configuration may not suit all preferences, as some buyers may prefer either a fully open-plan layout or a completely separate closed kitchen.
Description
This terraced house is situated in the desirable Hoogvonderen neighborhood of Roermond, a location known for its residential character and proximity to the various amenities the city has to offer. The property is positioned to appeal to starters and families alike, presenting a home that requires minimal additional investment to make it one's own.
Upon entering through the front door, you are welcomed into an entrance hall that provides access to a wardrobe area and the meter cupboard. From this practical starting point, you flow directly into the main living area. The ground floor features a Z-shaped living and sitting room that has been extended with a dining room addition. This extension, combined with the large window sections throughout, ensures that the living spaces are filled with natural light during the day. The ground floor is finished with a contemporary tiled floor, and both the walls and ceiling have been treated with spray finish, creating a clean and modern appearance.
Connected to the living area is a half-open kitchen. This kitchen layout provides a connection to the living spaces while maintaining some separation. The kitchen is equipped with several built-in appliances, including a four-burner gas stove with an extraction hood, a refrigerator, a combi microwave that is included in the purchase, and a dishwasher that is available for takeover by the buyer. Behind the kitchen, an indoor storage room is accessible, offering practical space with laundry connections and additional storage options.
A portal area connects the living spaces to the staircase leading to the upper floor and also provides access to a guest toilet equipped with a small sink. This layout ensures that ground floor facilities are complete for daily living and entertaining.
The first floor is reached via the staircase in the portal area. On this level, you will find three spacious bedrooms and a luxury bathroom. The bathroom has been fully tiled and is equipped with a shower cabin, a second toilet, a modern vanity unit with a mirror wall, and a design radiator. The three bedrooms have recently been updated with new laminate flooring, and the walls have been finished with stucco that can be painted according to personal color preferences, allowing new owners to personalize these spaces easily.
The second floor is accessible via a pull-down ladder and serves as an attic storage space. This area provides ample room for storage purposes and houses the HR central heating boiler installation. The boiler is an Intergas HR combi boiler that was installed in 2022 and is included in the purchase as owned equipment, meaning it will not need replacement in the near term.
The outdoor spaces of this property have been thoughtfully arranged. The rear garden is fully enclosed, offering a sense of privacy and tranquility. The garden is sunny in orientation and has been landscaped to be low maintenance. A notable feature is the terrace cover of approximately 11.7 square meters, providing a sheltered outdoor living space that can be enjoyed in various weather conditions. Additionally, there are two wooden garden sheds that offer extra storage capacity for garden equipment, bicycles, or other items. A second terrace area can be created if desired. The property has its own back entrance that leads to a path running around the corner of the street, where additional free parking spaces are available.
The front garden has been neatly maintained and includes a driveway that provides parking space for at least one passenger car on the property itself. This is a practical feature in a residential area where on-street parking can sometimes be limited.
The property was built in 1984 and has a gable roof covered with tiles. It has been awarded energy label B, reflecting a good level of energy efficiency for a property of this age. The insulation measures include roof insulation, wall insulation, floor insulation, and mostly double glazing throughout the windows. These features contribute to lower energy costs and increased comfort during both winter and summer months.
The total living area measures 93 square meters, with an additional 20 square meters of other indoor space, 12 square meters of attached outdoor space, and 8 square meters of external storage. The plot size is 152 square meters, and the building volume is 375 cubic meters. The property is registered at the Land Registry as ROERMOND H 924 with full ownership status.
The Hoogvonderen neighborhood is characterized as a peaceful residential area that remains highly popular among home seekers. Despite its quiet atmosphere, the location is conveniently situated within cycling distance of the vibrant center of Roermond, with its shops, restaurants, and other urban amenities. The area also provides good access to various main roads, including routes heading toward Germany, making it suitable for commuters or those who frequently travel across the border.
The property is being offered at an asking price of 275,000 euros, with the buyer responsible for the transfer costs (kosten koper). The acceptance terms are to be negotiated. The standard deposit or bank guarantee is set at 10 percent of the purchase price, to be deposited with the notary two weeks after any conditional clauses have expired. A typical financing condition period of six weeks after a verbal agreement can be arranged. Prospective buyers are advised that they may arrange a structural inspection at their own expense to gain a thorough understanding of the property's condition before finalizing any purchase agreement.
