House Margraten (Sterre Der Zeestraat)

Hélène TERRA Real Estate is offering for rent: Sterre der Zeestraat 2, Margraten

This very spacious home with 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms is situated in a beautiful location in Termaar, a hamlet just outside Maastricht. What used to be a barn was completely rebuilt in 2000 and transformed into a fantastic family home with a driveway, garage, spacious garden, and private back entrance. Enjoy the atmosphere, the space, and the abundance of natural light that floods the home.

Here, you live just outside the village, yet not isolated. Termaar is a hamlet with character, known in part for its Marian chapel dedicated to Our Lady Star of the Sea. From Termaar, you can easily walk into the beautiful countryside, including toward Reijmerstok and Bruisterbosch/Honthem. Margraten’s excellent amenities—from supermarkets to elementary schools—are within walking and biking distance. Margraten has good bus connections, including to Maastricht, Gulpen, and Aachen. By car, it’s a 10- to 15-minute drive to Maastricht, and Aachen is 20 to 25 minutes away by car.

Layout:
Ground Floor:
The covered entrance to this spacious home is on the Sterre der Zeestraat side, right next to where residents park their cars. The entryway is a stylish reception area, with stairs leading to the first floor and the basement. Next to the staircase is the restroom, and the black bluestone floor is subtly accented with white marble.
From the entry hall, there is access to the cozy living room, which flows seamlessly into the kitchen. Highlights include the vaulted ceiling, the slate floor with underfloor heating, and the partition wall near the seating area. Several floor-to-ceiling windows, together with the French doors, provide plenty of natural light and an optimal connection to the garden.
The kitchen features a light-colored U-shaped layout with a granite countertop and the sink area by the window. There is no shortage of storage space, and the induction cooktop, range hood, dishwasher, combination oven, and refrigerator are all built-in.
Adjacent to the kitchen is the utility room, which features a second kitchen unit with a sink. The washing machine and dryer (included) are located under the granite countertop, and spacious cabinets—both above and below the countertop—offer ample storage space. The utility room provides access to the spacious, sunny garden.

Basement:
An easy-to-navigate staircase with bluestone steps leads to the full-height wine/pantry cellar of approximately 13 m². This space features a light-colored tile floor and a window for ventilation.

First floor:
From the landing with a loft area, there is access to no fewer than 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. This provides plenty of space for the whole family and for working from home. One of the bedrooms is the master bedroom, featuring a walk-in closet and direct access to one of the bathrooms. Above the bay window is a balcony, accessible from the master bedroom.
This bathroom features a corner tub, a separate shower, a toilet, a double sink, and a designer radiator. Granite has been used extensively, giving the bathroom a luxurious look. At the front, right next to the loft, is the second bathroom. This space features a shower, toilet, designer radiator, and a sink.

Second Floor:
A fixed staircase leads to the second floor, which features a linen closet and two large attic rooms. Both rooms have high ceilings and an insulated roof. It is possible to use one of the rooms as a guest room or bedroom (the 6th in the house!).

Garden:
French doors in the living room open onto the garden, which faces northeast. The terrace is spacious, and the walled garden is further landscaped with plenty of greenery. This is a lovely spot to sit outside, whether or not with a snack and a drink within reach…
The large garage, measuring no less than 28 m², is also accessible from the garden. It is fully tiled and equipped with an automatically operated overhead door with a walk-through door.
