Multifunctional Residential-Retail Property in the Heart of Maastricht - Unique Investment Opportunity in a Prime Location!

Located on the charming Sporenstraat 7, right in the vibrant centre of Maastricht, we are offering this characteristic residential-retail property. Just a stone's throw from the Vrijthof, the Market Square, and the exclusive shopping streets, this property combines living and investing in a uniquely appealing way.

The property is cadastral split and consists of a leased commercial space on the ground floor (7A) and a spacious upper-level residence (7B) with its own private entrance. The retail unit will be delivered in its current leased state, making this an excellent opportunity for investors seeking an immediate return with stable yield. The current retail lease ends on June 1st, 2026. After that date, the new owner is free to determine a new use for the commercial space. The upper residence offers multiple possibilities: private living, renting it out, or using it as an office or practice at home.

With its distinctive architecture, the building dates back to 1934. Its street-facing façade appears modest, but once you step through the door, you'll be pleasantly surprised and warmly welcomed: a safe, luxurious, spacious and atmospheric living and working environment, just around the corner from the Vrijthof, inside a fully renovated townhouse. The property underwent complete and stylish renovations in both 2014 and 2022. For the upper residence, this included a new kitchen with an adjoining terrace, a large dormer window, and an additional studio with utility room. The home further offers 3 bedrooms including a loft, a generous bathroom, 2 toilets, a luxurious designer kitchen, an inviting living room, wooden staircase and floors, bicycle storage, 3 accessible cellars, and 2 south-facing open roof terraces.

In 't Sporesträötsje, people live and work side by side, with various boutiques, specialty shops, and other city-centre amenities nearby. This is Maastricht's city life at its very best. Both the bus stop and the train station are within walking distance, as are several supermarkets. Ample parking options for permit holders and private garages are available, and nearby arterial roads provide excellent access to Liège, Hasselt, Eindhoven, and Aachen. In short, this location-free from motorised traffic-offers a pleasant and highly enjoyable living environment, now and in the future.
