A grand old terraced house in Mechelen
Mechelen is a village in the Limburg hills, where the streets are quiet and the landscape rolls out in every direction. This terraced house on Hoofdstraat sits right in the middle of it, a 1913 building with a stately presence. The last known asking price of €380,000 was keen compared with the neighbourhood average asking price of €488,167, which worked out at 22% below that figure. For context, terraced houses in Gulpen-Wittem were part of a market where the average asking price per m² was €3,247. This home has not been online since 9 November 2026.
Inside the home
The agent listed this as a nine-room house with five bedrooms and two bathrooms, spread over several floors. The living area was given as 245 m² in the agent's listing, while the BAG registration records 252 m². The plot measures 260 m² according to both sources. The energy label was D, which meant the home was not among the most efficient, so heating costs were likely to be noticeable. The house was built in 1913, a fact that speaks to its age but says nothing about its condition.

WOZ and address data

The foundation risk indication is low, though the notes mention the house was built in 1913 on clay soil, which could mean wooden piles or a shallow foundation. Pluvial flooding at heavy rain is elevated, while the current flood risk is low, and heat stress is expected to become medium by 2050.
