Description

Built in 2013 by an architect as the right-hand half of two houses under one roof. A clean modern volume with a flat EPDM roof, aluminium frames with solar-control glazing, and solid 30 cm Ytong aerated concrete external walls, which received 6 cm of external insulation and a rendered finish in 2024.

Ground floor 95.53 m²

You enter into a spacious hall with a built-in wardrobe and a separate guest toilet. Behind it the living room runs through to the kitchen at the rear, with a view of and direct access to the terrace and the south-west facing garden. The living room has its own air conditioning unit.

The kitchen is fully fitted with an AEG oven and microwave, a coffee machine and a two-year-old washing machine. Next to it is a separate utility room with a sink, which keeps laundry and supplies out of the living area.

On the street side there is a 21 m² multi-purpose room. It is currently set up as a playroom, but the garage door and driveway are still in place, so it can be turned back into a garage without any work.

First floor 90 m²

Three full-size bedrooms, each with its own air conditioning unit that both cools and heats. The main bedroom with adjoining dressing room faces the garden; the two children's rooms look out onto the street.

The bathroom has a bath, a separate shower, a double washbasin and a second toilet. The technical room with the boiler is also on this floor.

Basement 120.50 m²

The basement runs under the entire house and is fully finished, with a clear height of 2.20 m. In the finished rooms the walls are insulated on the inside with 70 mm of rock wool against the masonry and 50 mm between the plasterboard framing. Today it is laid out as a bar with a built counter, a home cinema and a separate study.

There is also an 18 m² storage room housing the water softener, the rainwater pump and ample storage space.

Outside 514 m² plot

A south-west facing garden with a 60 m² terrace in ceramic tiles adjoining the living room, a 14.5 m² garden house and a completely relaid driveway with an EV charging point. Underground there is a 7,500 litre rainwater tank with a pump, connected to the house.

The terrace, the air conditioning and the solar panels were added in 2016, the garden house in 2020. Since then the facade was rendered and insulated, an alarm and camera system was installed, and the driveway and front garden were completely relaid. The heat exchanger of the Viessmann condensing boiler was replaced last year. The four reversible split units, by Mitsubishi Electric, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Maxicool, deliver around 14 kW together and in practice take on most of the heating.

The house runs on Home Assistant home automation. The server that drives it stays with the property, so the connected devices keep working from day one exactly as they do now. The house is available from June 2027.

Key facts

Technical & energy

Option: the full energy installation

The asking price of € 595,000 covers the house with 24 south-facing panels of 265 Wp on the original 4.4 kW Solis inverter, and one EV charging point.

Today there is more in place. It can be taken over in full for € 13,000 instead of being removed.

During a grid outage the backup gateway disconnects the house from the grid within milliseconds and switches to the battery, so you barely notice the interruption. The twelve extra panels face east and west, spreading production across the day instead of peaking around midday. Together with the battery this strongly increases self-consumption.

Buying from the Netherlands

If you are coming from Maastricht or elsewhere in the Netherlands: this is a Belgian property, so Belgian rules apply. Registration duty is 2% of the purchase price if this becomes your sole and own home and you register your residence here, and 12% if it does not. Notary fees come on top. Dutch mortgage interest relief does not apply to a home in Belgium, so financing is normally arranged with a Belgian bank.

On the other hand, annual property tax in Belgium is modest compared with what you may be used to, the house is fully finished and energy-efficient, and you get considerably more space for the money than on the Dutch side of the border. Happy to walk through the practical side during a viewing.
