At 26 Bemelerweg in Maastricht (Scharn), a remarkable and unique property unfolds. From the street, the building appears modest and somewhat unassuming, but once you step through the front door, you are welcomed by spacious living areas and the distinctive, authentic atmosphere that has been carefully preserved. The original part of the property dates back to 1920, and in 2012 a substantial extension (a conservatory/serre) was added, bringing the total usable living area to over 173 m².
The property features an inviting and atmospheric living room, an open-plan kitchen-diner, 4 bedrooms (with easy potential for expansion), an XL-sized garage, a generous conservatory extension (serre), a vaulted storage cellar, and a multifunctional outbuilding that includes office space, a stable, and the possibility to create guest accommodation and/or additional bedrooms. The home is also ideally located close to all daily amenities, schools, the MECC convention centre, the university, the neighbourhood centres of Heer and Scharn, and major arterial roads.
Basement:
The kitchen provides access, through a distinctive wrought-iron gate, to a beautiful vaulted cellar built from marlstone (21 m²). This space is ideally suited for the creation of a wine and/or beer cellar complete with tasting room, but can of course also be used for additional storage.
Ground Floor:
Entrance/hall with tiled flooring, including the meter cupboard (8 automatic circuits, 3 RCDs, an additional circuit for the solar panels, and smart meters), a toilet, and access to the living room. The partly tiled toilet is fitted with a wall-mounted WC and a hand basin. The cosy living room (24 m²), located at the front of the home, benefits from abundant natural light and features well-kept parquet flooring and an atmospheric wood-burning stove. Adjoining the living room is the open plan kitchen-diner (19 m²), which has tiled flooring with underfloor heating and a basic straight-line fitted kitchen with upper and lower cabinets and the following (built-in) appliances: sink, extractor unit, fridge with freezer compartment, combination microwave/oven, 5-zone gas hob, and dishwasher. The worktop is finished with a plastic countertop and is neatly maintained. The kitchen also contains the staircase leading to the first floor, as well as access to the conservatory extension (serre).
Conservatory (Serre) and Garage:
The conservatory, which features a split-level design (approx. 29 m² in total), provides access from the lower section to a utility/laundry room (2 m²) where the household appliance connections are located. Adjacent to the laundry room is the XL garage (41 m²), equipped with lighting, electrical sockets, a water tap, an inspection pit, and a manually operated double wooden gate that can be opened partially or fully to allow a car to drive in and out. The garage also houses the inverter for the 16 solar panels.
The upper level of the conservatory is currently used as a dining room. In this peaceful setting, the room benefits from exceptional natural light and features a gas heater, creating a relaxing space to enjoy evenings with family and friends. At the rear, the conservatory opens onto the garden through French doors. Midway along the conservatory, another external door leads to a pathway that connects to Keerderstraatje. This path was the original access route to the garden before the conservatory extension was built.
First Floor:
Landing 1 (5 m²) with access to two bedrooms, the bathroom, and Landing 2.
Bedroom 1 (15 m²) is located at the front of the property (street side) and includes built-in wardrobes and access to a loft storage area.
Bedroom 2 (11 m²) is situated at the rear and is fitted with a Velux roof window.
The bathroom (10 m²) is generously sized, fully tiled, and equipped with a bathtub, a separate shower, a wall-mounted WC, and a vanity unit with wash basin and storage cabinet. Natural daylight enters the bathroom via a Velux roof window. Under the sloped roof, there is additional access to a storage room which accommodates the central heating boiler installation (brand: Nefit EcomLine Combi, owned, installed in 2004).
Connected to Landing 1 is Landing 2 (7 m²), providing access to Bedrooms 3 and 4.
Bedroom 3 (16 m²) is located at the front of the house (street side) and features a built-in wardrobe. This room can easily be divided into two separate bedrooms, and a large loft/storage attic can be created above for additional storage space.
Bedroom 4 (10 m²) is situated at the rear and has been constructed on the former roof terrace. Access to this bedroom from the landing is via a sliding door, which was already in place before the bedroom itself was built.
Outbuilding:
Directly behind the conservatory is a multifunctional outbuilding. On the ground floor, there is a practical office space (15 m²) equipped with a separate toilet with a standing WC and hand basin. This space is ideal for use as an office, home workspace, or can be converted into an additional bedroom and/or guest accommodation. Behind the office is a stable area (23 m²). A fixed staircase with a surrounding balustrade leads to a studio space (17 m²) on the upper level. This bright room can easily be used as an extra bedroom or guest room.
Garden:
The property features a spacious, sunny garden oriented to the southeast. The garden includes several terraces, a variety of mature plants and borders, a water tap, a lawn, and a pond. There is direct access to both the outbuilding and the conservatory.
