Discover an exceptional opportunity in the heart of Houthalen-Helchteren with this spacious commercial building, offered at €220,000. Located at Sint-Trudoplein 17, this property presents a unique blend of commercial and residential potential, making it an attractive prospect for investors, entrepreneurs, or those seeking a versatile renovation project. The building occupies a fully developed plot of approximately 3a35ca, with a total built surface area of 571m², providing ample space for various uses. Its prime location ensures high visibility and accessibility, with plenty of foot traffic in a lively center bustling with shops, eateries, and amenities immediately at your doorstep. The property’s strategic position not only guarantees convenience but also offers enormous potential for transformation and development. This property was originally constructed in 1967 and features a large, multi-purpose layout that includes a substantial retail space, multiple storage areas, and two separate residential units. The ground floor boasts a generous shop area with large windows that allow for excellent natural light and visibility, perfect for retail or service businesses. Behind the storefront are several storerooms and storage facilities, providing practical solutions for commercial operations. Adjacent to the retail space is a first living area that combines a workspace, kitchen, living room, bathroom, and separate toilet—ideal for live-work arrangements or rental purposes. Upstairs, there is a second fully functional residential unit with a spacious lounge, corridor, kitchen, four to five bedrooms, and additional sanitary facilities. The building is sold in its current condition, requiring thorough renovation; the roof currently made of asbestos slate must be replaced, and the interior needs stripping and refurbishment to realize its full potential. The location offers numerous advantages beyond its immediate surroundings. It is situated within a vibrant residential and commercial zone, with schools nearby and easy access to local services. The property benefits from excellent visibility and high foot traffic, making it ideal for various business ventures or a combined live-work setup. While the property does not have direct vehicle access from the rear—accessible through a pedestrian servitude—it provides a compelling canvas for creative development. Its energy performance is rated at 420 kWh/m² per year (E label), and it features modern double-glazed windows, gas heating via radiators, and all essential utilities connected: water, gas, and electricity. Given its large volume, flexible layout, and central position, this building offers an exceptional investment opportunity with significant future potential.
