Living beneath the historic roof of a monumental building in the heart of Maastricht

For those dreaming of living in one of Maastricht's most iconic locations, this charming apartment offers a truly unique opportunity. Situated on the third and top floor of a beautiful monumental townhouse dating back to 1751, the apartment enjoys a distinctive setting beneath the original roof structure with wonderful views across the rooftops of Maastricht's historic city centre.

The authentic sloping ceilings, characteristic roofline and abundance of natural light create an atmosphere full of character, while modern comforts—including a contemporary kitchen, stylish bathroom, air conditioning, solar panels and an Energy Label A—ensure comfortable living.

A rare combination of history, comfort and city living.

A Historic Monument

Apartment 23D forms part of a distinguished townhouse on Het Bat, originally built in 1751. The property is designated as a municipal monument and is located within Maastricht's protected historic city centre and Cultural Heritage Conservation Area.

Originally used as office accommodation, the building was carefully transformed into four self-contained apartments in 2021 following the granting of a municipal planning permit. During the redevelopment, great care was taken to preserve the building's historic character while incorporating modern living standards.

The building is currently in the final phase of being legally divided into four separate apartment rights. Apartment 23D forms one of these individual units. Transfer of ownership will take place after the deed of subdivision has been executed by the civil-law notary.

Layout

The apartment is accessed via the communal entrance and staircase leading to the third floor.

Upon entering, you arrive in the central circulation area, providing access to all rooms. The contemporary kitchen is fitted with built-in appliances and connects to the living room through a glass door, allowing both spaces to remain visually connected while functioning independently.

The living room is positioned beneath the building's impressive historic roof structure. The sloping ceilings and generous windows create a bright, inviting space with beautiful views across the rooftops of Maastricht's historic centre.

Adjacent to the living room is the spacious bedroom, also situated beneath the characteristic roof construction. The bedroom features a built-in wardrobe and comfortably accommodates a double bed.

The modern bathroom is equipped with a walk-in shower, wall-mounted toilet and vanity unit.

For additional comfort, both the living room and bedroom are fitted with air conditioning.

A private external storage room is located in the building's basement.
