Looking for a spacious house in the center of Genk that can be furnished entirely to your own taste? This house combines 182 m2 of living space with three spacious bedrooms and an interesting ground floor layout. Thanks to the possibility to provide a shop space or office in the front, the property furthermore lends itself to different interpretations. A property for those who especially consider potential, space and central location important.
The house is located on Winterslagstraat 70, 3600 Genk and was built in 1953. A renovation took place in 2010. Today the property is in a state to be renovated, which requires further adjustments and modernisation. The living area is 182 m2 and is divided into three complete building layers. This provides a solid basis to redesign the house according to its own needs.
On the ground floor the entrance door gives access to a long hall with stairs. At the front is a spacious room which on the ground plan is referred to as living room, office or shop. This allows different applications. Think of an extra living space, an office at home or a commercial setting. Then there is a second living room. The living room has a specified area of 29 m2. At the back is the kitchen of 12 m2. There is also a separate toilet on this floor. The sequence of rooms offers opportunities to reorganise the ground floor during renovation.
The first floor consists of a landing giving access to the various rooms. Here is the first and largest bedroom of about 22 m2. Due to its spacious dimensions, there is enough space for a full sleeping area and additional wardrobes or other furniture. Furthermore, this floor has the only bathroom of the house. Next to the bathroom is a separate toilet. Through the stairwell, the circulation continues to the upper floor.
On the second floor there are two bedrooms. These have a specified area of about 15 m2 and 19 m2. Thus the house has a total of three spacious bedrooms, spread over the two upper floors. The rooms are accessible from the central hall. The available surface makes this floor suitable for children's rooms, a guest room or a combination of sleeping and working space. After renovation, a comfortable sleeping floor can be created here that meets the needs of the family.
Additional storage space is available in the basement. It has an area of about 15 m2 and is a practical addition to the space above ground. For supplies, household items or other items not required daily, this cellar offers additional possibilities.
The plot has an area of 139 m2. The great asset here is mainly in combination with the spacious house and the central location. If you are prepared to renovate, you will have the opportunity to redesign a building with an existing surface of 182 m2 step by step. The three bedrooms, the different living areas and the multifunctional character of the ground floor form an interesting basis. Today, for example, we can already consider how living, working or possibly a commercial activity can meet later within the same building.
Furthermore, the house is equipped with shutters and connections for cable and internet. These are practical facilities that can be included in the further renovation and decoration of the property.
The location in the center of Genk is an important plus. Shops are about 200 metres away and restaurants are about 190 metres away. For relaxation you can already reach about 100 meters. Schools are about 950 metres away and public transport is only 280 metres away. Also by car the house remains easily accessible, with a connection to the highways about 2.9 kilometers. Daily amenities are particularly close and the city centre is literally within easy reach.
In short, Winterslagstraat 70 is a spacious, renovated house with 182 m2 living area, three large bedrooms, a basement and a ground floor with possibilities for living, offices or shopping space. Especially the central location and the freedom to renew the whole to your own taste make this property interesting for those who see potential in a thorough renovation.
