House for sale Bunderstraat 83 Meerssen

One of the most delightful houses in the immediate vicinity of Maastricht (in the village of Meerssen), the House Bliss, is now for sale. This magnificent national monument from 1922, built for the well-known syrup manufacturer Robert Nagelschmidt, is located on a beautiful terraced plot of over 4600 m² which perfectly complements the scale of the house. The name 'Bliss' on the facade means; the great happiness you will experience here as the owner. The house boasts many original elements of the "1800" or "Louis XVI" style; one of the most noted and remarkable styles in the history of modern architecture.  Some of the finest examples in this style are the Amsterdam Stock Exchange and the Bijenkorf, also in Amsterdam. Not only exterior, but also on the inside, many period features have been preserved, including the marble and wooden floor in the hall, the wooden paneling, glass panels with a star motif in the interior doors, the staircase and copper hinges and locks. The house has been extensively restored and exquisitely modernized to complement the building's heritage. Heating, water pipes and electricity were upgraded to modern standards in 2016. A design plan has been made for the garden, of which a 3D design can be seen in the animation film. The buyer can choose to realize this design at his own expense or to opt for another design.

Basement: 
There is a basement covering the full floor plan of the house. Via a staircase in the gallery, you enter the basement hallway which borders onto several rooms, including a wine cellar, a laundry room and a room for technical equipment. Several other rooms lend themselves well for converting into a home cinema and a separate practice area with its bespoke entrance.

Ground floor: 
Admire the beautiful exterior of this villa with various style elements and guide yourself to the impressive entrance on the left. The cloakroom which is fully furbished in its original marble leads on to the main entrance hall, also with many original ornaments. The large entrance hall features original wooden floor and paneling of exceptional workmanship. The attractive staircase and spectacular fireplace are further elements that immediately attract your attention.

A spacious living room is located at the front of the house with an en-suite office and semicircular bay window. The high ceilings, large windows, patterned wallpaper and wooden floor all provide for the right atmosphere. The luxury kitchen with dining room and conservatory is located on the south and west side of the villa. The contemporary finished kitchen comprises a washing and a seating island and is equipped with granite worktops and all the necessary appliances from Miele. The captivating conservatory has an abundance of light with large shuttered windows on all sides and French doors to the garden.  The ground floor furthermore contains a utility room with its own entrance and a portal with a guest toilet.

A spacious detached garage is situated at the end of the driveway perfectly suitable for your (classic) car, bicycles and garden / DIY tools.

First floor:
On the first floor, two very spacious bedrooms with high ceilings, a bathroom and a toilet can be reached from the beautiful landing. Each of the bedrooms has access to the front balcony and is appropriately finished with high-quality materials in stylish, warm colors. The exquisite master suite is connected to its own dressing room, which leads to a spacious balcony at the rear. In the dressing room, you will find many custom-made cabinets. The master suite benefits from additional air-conditioned climate control. From the balcony you can see the entire garden at the rear with unimpeded views far into the Geul valley to the south. The adjoining bathroom has a bath, large walk-in shower, separate toilet, and custom furniture with a double washbasin. Here again, the beautiful materials and colors create the right atmosphere. The second bathroom is divided with a walk-in shower and a sink. A separate toilet can be reached from the landing. The spaces are perfect for guests and children living at home.

Second floor:
On the top floor there are two more bedrooms, a storage room, a landing and a third bathroom. The bedrooms have playful, sloping roofs and a shared dormer window. One of the bedrooms adjoins an intermediate space (possibly dressing room) which gives access to the bathroom. This bathroom is divided into a large walk-in shower, a toilet and a wide washbasin. The other bedroom has its own dressing area.

Exterior:
The partially stone-walled garden, with swimming pool and terraces, has been structurally improved and prepared for finishing as desired. The old shrubbery has been removed, new outdoor hedges have been planted and a design plan has been made, of which a 3D design can be seen in the animation video. The buyer can opt to realize this design at his own expense or to choose another design. The new owner can thus give the House Bliss a very personal touch. Next to the pool the foundations of former ancillary accommodations have been preserved allowing for a lounge, a technical room, and potentially a guest house to be newly built.

The remarkably handsome house and gardens offer a unique opportunity for a lucrative tailor-made investment with immediate living pleasure in one of the most beautiful locations near Maastricht in the Netherlands.
