Charming Ground-Floor City Apartment with Spacious Terrace in Historic Weesp Centre
Key Features
Description
This spacious and attractive three-room apartment is situated on the ground floor of a well-maintained residential building in the historic centre of Weesp, a fortified town with a rich heritage and vibrant atmosphere. The property offers a total living area of 78 square metres and was constructed in 1992.
The apartment is entered via a generous hallway that provides access to all rooms. To the immediate left of the entrance is a practical laundry and storage room, which is equipped with connections for both a washing machine and a tumble dryer. This space is ideal for additional storage needs and contributes to the overall functionality of the home.
The bathroom is spacious and fully tiled, featuring a relaxing bathtub, a separate walk-in shower with a glass door and thermostatic mixer tap for precise temperature control, a vanity unit with a washbasin and illuminated mirror cabinet, and a stylish design radiator. The lowered ceiling with recessed spotlights creates a modern and cohesive appearance. Additionally, the apartment includes a separate toilet with a small handbasin.
Both bedrooms are located at the quiet rear side of the apartment, overlooking the communal courtyard garden. The master bedroom is particularly generous in size and features a built-in wardrobe for convenient storage, as well as French doors that open directly onto the terrace. This arrangement allows residents to enjoy their morning coffee in the morning sun. The second bedroom is well-proportioned and serves excellently as a guest room, home office, or children's room, offering flexibility for different household needs.
The bright and welcoming living room forms the heart of the apartment and flows seamlessly into the modern open-plan kitchen, which was completely renovated in 2024. The kitchen is thoughtfully designed and equipped with various built-in appliances, making it both practical and aesthetically pleasing. Large windows and the French doors leading to the terrace ensure that the living area enjoys an abundance of natural light throughout the day, creating a pleasant and airy atmosphere.
The electrical installation is properly equipped with sufficient circuit breakers and residual-current devices for safety. A spacious storage cupboard in the apartment houses the central heating boiler, a Vaillant gas-fired combi boiler from 2007 that is owned by the current owner, and provides additional storage space.
One of the most distinctive features of this property is the generously sized terrace of 19 square metres. With dimensions of 8.70 metres in depth and 2.20 metres in width, this outdoor space faces southeast and directly adjoins the green communal courtyard garden. This is a rare luxury in a city centre location, providing a private and sunny retreat for relaxation, reading, or entertaining friends. The terrace is accessible via the back entrance of the building.
In the basement of the building, residents benefit from a private storage room of 6 square metres, which is perfect for storing bicycles or other belongings that require secure, off-premises storage.
The apartment is part of an active and financially sound Owners' Association, known as VvE Zwanenburcht or Herengracht, which is professionally managed by MVGM. A long-term maintenance plan is in place to ensure the building remains in good condition. The monthly service charge is 163.19 euros, which covers maintenance reserves, cleaning of communal areas, window cleaning, and building and glass insurance.
The location of this apartment is exceptional. It is situated in the heart of the historic centre of Weesp, offering a charming mix of characteristic buildings, specialist shops, and welcoming cafés and restaurants. Nearby amenities include a bakery, butcher, fishmonger, greengrocer, boutique shops, and a popular ice cream parlour. The local theatre and a brewery, housed in the former Laurentius Church, are located just around the corner. The River Vecht, various recreational opportunities, and cultural attractions are all within walking distance.
Weesp offers excellent connectivity by both public transport and car. Weesp railway station is reachable within a few minutes on foot and provides fast and frequent services to Amsterdam, Schiphol Airport, Utrecht, Almere, and the Gooi region. Major roads leading to these destinations are also easily accessible.
The energy performance of the apartment is rated with label C, and the property features double glazing throughout. Heating and hot water are provided by the central heating system.
