Description
This three room apartment is situated at Boulevard Heuvelink in Arnhem and offers a comfortable living space in a well connected location close to the city center. The property is located on the second floor of a characteristic apartment building that was originally constructed in 1955. Despite its age, the apartment has been updated to meet modern standards, particularly in terms of the kitchen and bathroom, while maintaining the appealing architectural features of the period.
The apartment has a total living area of 79 square meters, complemented by one square meter of additional indoor space and four square meters of building bound outdoor space in the form of a balcony. Additionally, there is an external storage unit measuring six square meters, which provides practical space for storing bicycles, luggage, or other belongings that do not need to be kept inside the apartment itself. The total volume of the property is 255 cubic meters, which indicates a comfortable ceiling height throughout the living spaces.
Upon entering the apartment through the shared entrance on the ground floor, residents access their home on the second floor. The hallway serves as the central spine of the apartment, providing access to all the main rooms. This layout ensures efficient use of the available space and creates a natural flow between the different areas of the home.
The living room is located at the front of the apartment and benefits from large window sections that allow abundant natural light to enter the space throughout the day. The brightness of this room creates an open and welcoming atmosphere. There is sufficient space to arrange both a comfortable seating area and a dining table, making the living room suitable for various activities from relaxing to entertaining guests. The living room also provides direct access to the balcony, which offers an outdoor space where residents can enjoy fresh air and possibly some sunshine depending on the orientation.
The kitchen is positioned separately from the living room and has been modernized to contemporary standards. It features ample cabinet space, providing sufficient storage for kitchenware, groceries, and other essentials. The kitchen is equipped with built in appliances, though the specific types of appliances are not detailed in the listing information. This separate kitchen layout keeps cooking activities contained while allowing the living room to remain clean and presentable for social occasions.
The apartment includes two well proportioned bedrooms. The larger of the two is suitable as the main bedroom and can accommodate a double bed along with additional furniture such as wardrobes or a desk. The second bedroom offers flexibility in its use, functioning equally well as a guest room, a home office, or a hobby space. This versatility is particularly valuable for residents who work from home or who occasionally host overnight visitors.
The bathroom has been finished to a modern standard with a clean and streamlined aesthetic. It features a walk in shower and a washbasin, providing the essential facilities in a compact yet functional layout. A separate toilet room is located adjacent to the bathroom, which is a practical arrangement that allows multiple residents to use the facilities simultaneously without inconvenience.
In terms of energy efficiency, the apartment holds an energy label B, which indicates a reasonably efficient property. The windows have been fitted with double glazing, contributing to the thermal performance of the building. Heating and hot water are provided by a gas fired combination boiler, which according to the listing dates from 2026. This date appears to be inconsistent as it refers to a future year, and it may be an error in the listing text that should be verified with the selling agent. The boiler is owned by the property rather than rented.
The location of Boulevard Heuvelink is one of the notable aspects of this apartment. The property is situated within walking distance of the vibrant center of Arnhem, where residents can find a wide selection of shops, restaurants, cafes, and cultural attractions. For those who enjoy outdoor activities and green spaces, Sonsbeek Park and Musispark, also known as Lauwerspark, are located nearby, offering pleasant environments for walking, jogging, or simply relaxing in nature.
Public transportation options are readily accessible from this location, with connections to Arnhem Central Station and various bus routes. The station Velperpoort is also mentioned as being easily reachable. For residents who travel by car, the main roads leading out of the city are conveniently accessible, making this location practical for commuters who need to travel to other cities or regions.
Parking at the property is managed through a permit system rather than dedicated private parking spaces. Residents will need to apply for a parking permit through the municipality, which is a common arrangement in urban areas such as this part of Arnhem.
The apartment is part of an active homeowners association that is properly registered with the Chamber of Commerce. The association holds annual meetings, collects monthly contributions of 129.83 euros, maintains a reserve fund, has a maintenance plan in place, and has arranged building insurance. These organizational aspects indicate a well managed complex where maintenance responsibilities are clearly structured and funded.
The interior finish of the apartment features light colored walls, a modern floor covering, and updated kitchen and bathroom installations. The listing describes the property as partially furnished, though the specific items of furniture that are included are not specified. Interested buyers should inquire about which furnishings, if any, will remain with the property after the sale.
The asking price for this apartment is 289,000 euros, which is offered on a costs buyer basis, meaning the buyer is responsible for the transfer tax and notary fees associated with the purchase. This price translates to approximately 3,658 euros per square meter of living space. The acceptance terms are described as negotiable, suggesting there may be some flexibility in the conditions of the sale such as the moving date.
The property is offered with full ownership rights, and the cadastral designation is ARNHEM Q 7254. The apartment is classified as existing construction, reflecting its 1955 build date, and the roof is described as a flat roof covered with bituminous roofing material.
Fiber optic internet connectivity is available at the property, which is an important feature for modern residents who require fast and reliable internet access for work, entertainment, or communication purposes.
The surrounding area is described as having a sheltered position while being located in both the center and a residential neighborhood. This combination suggests that the apartment benefits from the conveniences of central urban living while still being situated in a relatively quiet and established residential environment.
