COMPLETED IN 2021/2022, READY TO MOVE IN VILLA FLAT ON THE GROUND FLOOR WITH TWO PRIVATE PARKING SPACES ON CLOSED GROUNDS, LANDSCAPED PRIVATE GARDEN FACING WEST AND PANORAMIC VIEWS OVER THE MAAS TOWARDS THE GOVERNORATE.
The original villa has been extended at the rear with a current extension, giving the flat a total of approx. 223 square metres of living and entertaining space. The historical value is completed by up-to-date home automation for DALI lighting control, comfort and climate control as well as security.
Industrialist Joseph L'Hoëst had the villa built at the end of the 19th century for his family. He thus set the tone for the residential district Villapark-Sint Pieter on the banks of the Meuse. After various uses - from residential to commercial - the villa has now undergone a metamorphosis resulting in three state-of-the-art flats. In the process, this ground-floor flat has retained its original grandeur and authentic elements.
This small-scale residential complex with three exclusive flats (one on each floor) has insulated roofs, facades and floors and is partly fitted with insulating glass (rear extension). To keep out any summer heat, the windows have electric screens at the front.
Security and privacy are key. There is a video connection at the front door and an alarm system. The lockable gate to the car park can be operated remotely by residents. The courtyard of the complex itself is equipped with several video cameras.

GROUND FLOOR LAYOUT
You enter the villa via the bluestone and restored landing with authentic columns and double front door. Four technical cabinets with meter cupboard, gas meter, home automation and underfloor heating systems are located in the common reception hall. Cabling for car chargers is already installed in the meter boxes.
Behind the private front door on the right is the imposing high corridor with decorative mouldings, Occhio LED wall fittings and the luxurious guest toilet with natural stone and copper accents. Eye-catcher is the warm LED chandelier Melt by designer Tom Dixon OBE (stays behind if desired).
STYLISH SITTING AND LIVING ROOM
Three double ceiling-high doors lead right into the magnificent sitting and dining room of no less than 65 square metres. The two matt black marble fireplaces and ceiling mouldings have been meticulously restored with attention and combined with Panzeri Zero Round LED luminaires. The light and views over the Meuse River, thanks to the grand windows and bay window at the front, are rare and phenomenal here. The in-house air conditioning for heating and cooling is accessible for maintenance via fireproof shutters in the corridor ceiling.
IMPOSING LIVING KITCHEN
In the spacious Siematic kitchen (2022), the immense cooking and seating island takes centre stage. Its natural stone character combines chicly with high-gloss white, matt black and brass accents, as well as Occhio Mito LED light fittings. The appliances are decidedly high-end as well: a Bora induction hob with integrated extractor fan, Gaggenau wine refrigerator, Miele fridge with separate drawer freezer, Miele dishwasher, Miele combination oven and Miele oven.
MASTER SUITE 1: BEDROOM WITH BATHROOM GROUND FLOOR
Adjacent to the mezzanine is the master suite with bedroom 1 and bathroom 1. The spacious, bright bedroom has a luxurious wardrobe with accent lighting that also serves as a room divider. Upstairs, the private air conditioner is invisibly incorporated. The tall bay window frames stunning views of the Meuse River.
The grand bathroom is your personal wellness domain in black natural stone with copper accents. Everything has been thought of: freestanding copper bathtub, large walk-in shower with rain and hand shower, double washbasin and Geberit AquaClean shower toilet with remote control.
SUITE 2: BEDROOM WITH BATHROOM ON MEZZANINE LEVEL
In the living kitchen, beautiful floating steps in marble with accent lighting lead to the mezzanine floor above in the extension. Here you will find the second suite: the spacious bedroom 2 with its own bathroom 2 and plenty of interior custom-made wardrobe space.
The bright air-conditioned bedroom has a washbasin with two basins. The bathroom has a beautiful walk-in shower with glass door, rain and hand shower. The floating toilet is the Geberit AquaClean shower toilet with remote control.
THREE PRIVATE STORAGE ROOMS IN THE BASEMENT
Through the living kitchen, there is a private staircase to and private access to the basement. Bleacher 52-A has three large storage rooms here, one of which has connections for washing equipment.
Shared are the technical room, the bike shed - with sockets for bike batteries - and the stairs with bike gutter to the front yard. Also here is a household room with utility sink and storage space. Furthermore, the two Nefit boilers are installed here, with the storage vessel for hot water.
OUTDOOR SPACE WITH PRIVATE CITY TERRACE
Near the wide sliding doors in the kitchen is the tiled, partly walled terrace with yew and greenery all around with an area of approx. 100 m². West-facing, you can enjoy the afternoon and evening sun. There is a private back entrance via the forecourt. This part is strictly private.
Shared is the forecourt, with six parking spaces (two per flat), which is closed and secured with an automatic sliding gate with remote control and video intercom.
PRIME LOCATION AND PHENOMENAL VIEWS
Maastricht is known for its international, cultural and historical allure. The triangle of Liège, Hasselt and Aachen is approximately half an hour away; Antwerp and Brussels are easily reached in approx. ninety minutes by car. Its character is certainly Burgundian too. Within less than six kilometres are no fewer than six top Michelin-starred restaurants and 15 or more Gault & Millau chef's hats.
The view from your residence is different every day, every hour. On the left, the Bonnefantenmuseum rises above the Kennedy Bridge, on the other side of the Meuse sits the Limburg Gouvernement. And then, of course, there is the Meuse itself, slowly flowing commercial and pleasure craft.
VILLAPARK-SINT PIETER, MAASTRICHT AND ENVIRONS
The historic, green and prosperous villa district has many dozens of monuments. Villapark was therefore built at the end of the nineteenth century, after the fortress status of the southern fortifications was lifted. Its location is particularly central, with the medieval city wall, academic hospital UMC+, Maastricht University and the city centre a short distance away.
