Beschreibung
The property at Dillenburgstraat 27B is a ground floor studio apartment located in the Utrecht-Oost district. The living area measures 20 square metres, which makes it a compact living space. Despite the modest square footage, the apartment benefits from ceiling heights of approximately 3.15 metres, which creates a more open and airy atmosphere than would typically be expected from a space of this size. The wide window also contributes to the sense of light and space within the studio.
The building dates from 1900, which places it in the older housing stock of Utrecht. The apartment is situated on the ground floor of a building with three residential levels in total. Access is through a communal entrance, with the studio located directly to the right upon entering.
The interior layout comprises a combined living and sleeping area, an open kitchen, and a modern bathroom. The living and sleeping space is designed to be flexible, with potential for arranging a seating area, a sleeping area, and space for either a dining table or a work desk. The open kitchen is functional in design and includes cupboard storage as well as connections for household appliances.
The bathroom has been finished to modern standards and is equipped with a shower, a toilet, and a washbasin. It should be noted that the washing machine facilities are located in the shared hallway rather than within the apartment itself, meaning residents share this amenity with other occupants of the building.
The location in Utrecht-Oost is described as one of the main advantages of this property. The neighbourhood is well established and popular among residents. Wilhelminapark is nearby, offering green space for recreation and outdoor activities. Daily necessities such as supermarkets and shops are within easy reach, as are various coffee shops and restaurants that contribute to the character of the area.
Transport connections are favourable. The city centre of Utrecht and Utrecht Central Station can both be reached by bicycle within a short time. Public transport options are available, and the main road network providing access to the A2, A12, and A27 motorways is readily accessible from this location.
The property is subject to leasehold, known in Dutch as erfpacht. The ground rent is set at 2,360 euros per year according to the draft deed, and this amount is subject to annual indexation in line with the Consumer Price Index. The leasehold right has been established for an indefinite period, and the ground rent has not been bought off, meaning this annual payment will continue.
The owners association, or VvE, has recently been activated. The listing indicates that further organisational setup and documentation are being arranged. The monthly contribution to the VvE is 54.10 euros. The VvE checklist shows that the association is registered with the Chamber of Commerce, holds annual meetings, collects periodic contributions, maintains a reserve fund, has a maintenance plan in place, and has building insurance.
The asking price is 179,000 euros, which translates to 8,950 euros per square metre of living space. The property is available for delivery by mutual agreement, with the possibility of a quick transfer if required.
Parking in the area is paid parking, which is typical for central urban locations in Dutch cities. The immediate surroundings include a park setting, a quiet road, and a residential neighbourhood character.
The energy label for the property is C, which indicates a moderate level of energy efficiency. The volume of the apartment is 91 cubic metres. The property is identified on the cadastral register as ABSTEDE C 8874.
The transfer costs are to be borne by the buyer, as indicated by the term kosten koper applied to the asking price. The property status is listed as available.
This studio apartment is presented as suitable for various types of residents, including first-time buyers entering the property market, students looking for independent accommodation, or parents seeking a self-contained living space for a child studying in Utrecht. The combination of private kitchen and bathroom facilities distinguishes this from rooms in shared houses, while the compact size keeps the purchase price relatively accessible compared to larger apartments in the same area.
The ground floor position means there are no stairs to navigate, which may be convenient for some residents. However, this also means that the apartment is at street level, which can affect privacy and may result in different noise levels compared to upper floor apartments.
The building dates from 1900, which means it forms part of the historic fabric of Utrecht. Buildings of this era in Dutch cities often feature solid construction but may have characteristics that affect energy efficiency and may require ongoing maintenance, which the VvE structure is designed to address.
The leasehold arrangement is an important financial consideration for potential buyers. The annual ground rent of 2,360 euros represents an ongoing cost in addition to the mortgage and VvE contributions. The fact that this ground rent is indexed to inflation means that this cost will increase over time. Buyers should factor this into their long-term budget calculations and may wish to seek advice on whether buying off the ground rent at a future date would be advantageous.
The VvE being recently activated suggests that the building may have been divided into separate apartment units relatively recently, or that the formal organisational structure has only recently been put in place. The presence of a reserve fund and maintenance plan are positive indicators of responsible management, though potential buyers may wish to review the documentation once it becomes available to understand the financial health of the association and any planned maintenance activities.
The asking price of 179,000 euros for a 20 square metre studio reflects the premium associated with property ownership in a desirable location in Utrecht. The price per square metre of 8,950 euros is above average, which is typical for small units where the fixed costs of transaction and fitting out a living space are spread over fewer square metres.
The proximity to Wilhelminapark is a notable feature, as this is one of the more attractive green spaces in Utrecht. Parks in urban settings contribute to quality of life and can positively affect property values.
For those working or studying in Utrecht, the transport connections are practical. The ability to reach the central station by bicycle in minutes provides access to train services throughout the Netherlands, while the proximity to the city centre offers employment, shopping, cultural, and leisure opportunities.
The neighbourhood character of Utrecht-Oost is established and generally well regarded. The mix of residential properties, local amenities, and green spaces creates a living environment that appeals to various demographics.
The studio format, with its combined living and sleeping space, works well for individuals who spend limited time at home during the day, such as students or young professionals. The high ceilings help mitigate the potential feeling of confinement that can accompany small living spaces.
