Description
This beautiful two-room apartment is situated in the Stratum district of Eindhoven and presents a turnkey opportunity for immediate occupancy and enjoyment. The residence has been fully modernized to meet contemporary living standards, featuring a brand new open kitchen and a completely renovated bathroom. Upon entering, one is greeted by a bright and inviting atmosphere created by the recent updates which include a new PVC floor, new plinths, painted dormer windows, sanded walls, and freshly stuccoed surfaces. The technical installations have also been addressed, with the electrical cupboard expanded to include an extra group and an earth leakage circuit breaker in 2023. The property is located on the third floor, which is the top floor of a small-scale apartment complex, offering privacy and a pleasant view over the surrounding area.
The general location is highly central and practical. The apartment is positioned on the Aalsterweg, a lively shopping and living street in the Stratum district. This central location ensures that all necessary provisions and exit roads are within close proximity. The property is specifically noted as being very close to the ring road of Eindhoven, providing excellent accessibility to the city center as well as to major employment hubs such as ASML, DAF, and HTC. For those who enjoy outdoor activities, the green spaces of the Stadswandelpark and the Genneper Parken are nearby, offering a perfect balance between urban living and nature. The city center of Eindhoven is easily reachable on foot or by bicycle, making this a convenient base for a variety of lifestyles.
Access to the complex is via a central entrance located on the side of the building. Here, residents will find the mailboxes and an intercom installation. The reception hall provides access to the lift and the staircase. There is also a walking gate and an electric gate leading to the parking area at the rear of the building. From the parking area, one can also access the apartments via a stairwell at the back. The presence of a lift is a significant convenience, ensuring easy access to the third floor where the apartment is situated. The apartment itself is accessible via the covered gallery. The light hall inside the apartment serves as the central nerve center, providing access to all rooms. It houses the meter cupboard, which as mentioned was updated in 2023 for safety and capacity, a convenient storage cupboard, and a closet containing the setup for the central heating boiler.
The living room is a particularly pleasant space, characterized by its atmosphere and light. It is spacious enough to accommodate a seating area, a dining area, and even a workspace, making it suitable for modern work-from-home requirements. The room receives abundant natural light through the balcony door with side window and two Velux dormer windows. The walls are sleekly finished, with decorative panels adorning the sloping walls of the dormer windows. On the floor lies a beautiful PVC floor that adds to the modern aesthetic. An air conditioning unit installed in 2020 ensures a comfortable indoor climate throughout the year, regardless of the season.
The open kitchen is a standout feature of the home. This Bruynzeel kitchen was installed in 2023 and is placed in a wall arrangement with both upper and lower cabinets. It is fully equipped with high-quality appliances, including an oven, a refrigerator-freezer combination, an induction cooktop with a sleek extractor hood above it, a dishwasher, and a Quooker for instant boiling water. Because the apartment is on the top floor, the kitchen benefits from extra light provided by a flat roof window. The kitchen connects seamlessly to the living room, creating a cohesive living space. A design radiator completes the picture, adding both warmth and style.
The balcony is located on the southeast side of the complex, at the front. It offers a view of the Aalsterweg towards the center and towards the ring road, with the tower of the Gerarduskerk church visible in the distance. This location guarantees that there is always something to see, making it a vibrant spot to relax. It is worth noting that the floor plan of the balcony is not currently correctly displayed and will be adjusted, but the location and orientation are confirmed.
The bathroom is another major highlight, having been renovated in 2024 by a renowned company. The finish exudes quality, combining large landscape wall tiles with a beautiful anthracite-colored tile on the floor. The bathroom is fully equipped with a walk-in shower featuring a thermostat tap and both a rain shower and a hand shower. There is a washbasin in furniture with a mirror cabinet above it and a hanging toilet. A practical feature is the large niche with handy wall shelves and a worktop, underneath which the connection for the washing machine is located. This layout ensures that all daily routines are facilitated in a comfortable and stylish environment.
The bedroom is located at the rear of the complex, overlooking the quiet parking area and the homes behind it. This positioning ensures a quiet night's sleep away from the street noise. The room is equipped with electric shutters to keep out daylight when desired. It also features a built-in closet, providing ample storage space for clothing and personal items. The layout ensures a clear separation between the active living area at the front and the restful sleeping area at the back.
In addition to the apartment itself, the property includes external storage and parking facilities. In the basement of the building, there is a private storage room equipped with electricity. This is ideal for storing bicycles, seasonal items, or other belongings. Furthermore, there is a parking spot on the enclosed parking area behind the building. Having a private parking spot is a significant advantage in this central location.
From a technical and sustainability perspective, the apartment is in excellent condition. It is fully insulated and has an Energy Label A, indicating high energy efficiency. The roof, walls, and floor are insulated, and the windows feature HR glass. The central heating boiler is an Intergas HR combi boiler from 2023, which is owned by the property. The Homeowners Association (VvE) is described as healthy, with monthly service costs amounting to 181 euros. This contributes to the peace of mind for the new owner, knowing that the maintenance of the building is well managed.
Living in this apartment means enjoying a high degree of comfort in a very accessible location. The recent renovations in the kitchen, bathroom, and flooring mean that the new resident does not have to worry about any immediate maintenance or refurbishment tasks. The modern amenities such as the air conditioning, electric shutters, and lift add to the daily convenience. The proximity to the ring road makes it easy to travel to other cities or parts of the region, while the nearby parks offer a green escape. The combination of a modern interior, practical facilities like parking and storage, and a central location near major employers makes this a very suitable home for professionals or couples looking for a hassle-free living experience in Eindhoven.
