A semi-detached house in the heart of Wijlre
Wijlre is a village where the Geul valley meets the Limburg hills, and this semi-detached house on Jan van Houtemstraat 4 sits right in the middle of it. Built in 1929, the home has a lived-in character that matches its age. With a living area of 115 square metres on a plot of 240 square metres, the last known asking price of €245,000 worked out at €2,130 per square metre. That put the price on the high side compared with other semi-detached houses in Gulpen-Wittem. This home has not been online since 30 September 2026.
The home itself
The listing did not state the number of rooms, bedrooms or bathrooms, nor did it mention a garden, balcony or garage. What is known is that the home dates from 1929 and carries an energy label E. Label E was not an efficient label, so expect noticeable energy costs. The year of construction is a fact, nothing more, and no conclusions about the condition of the home should be drawn from it.
