Description
This apartment is situated in the Stratum district of Eindhoven, positioned directly adjacent to the prestigious Goudkust area and facing the Stadswandelpark. The property presents itself as a move-in ready home suitable for starters, singles, or couples looking for a well-organized living space in a sought-after location.
The building was originally constructed in 1953, reflecting the robust construction standards of that era. Over time, the apartment has been thoroughly updated to meet contemporary living requirements, including improved insulation and a modern interior layout. Despite its age, the property now achieves an Energy Label A rating, which is notably efficient for a building of this vintage. This upgrade demonstrates significant investment in the property's energy performance.
Upon entering the apartment, you are welcomed by a central hallway that serves as the organizational heart of the home. From this point, all main living areas are accessible. The layout has been carefully optimized to make efficient use of the available 63 square meters of living space. The hallway leads directly to the living room, dining area, kitchen, and bedroom, creating a logical flow through the apartment.
The living room is designed as a spacious and light-filled area, directly connected to the dining space. This open connection between the two zones provides flexibility for both relaxation and entertaining guests. Throughout these areas, a consistent laminate flooring has been installed, contributing to the modern and cohesive appearance of the interior. The large windows allow natural light to enter freely, enhancing the sense of space within the apartment.
The kitchen has been renovated and is fully equipped for immediate use. It includes a refrigerator, freezer, dishwasher, oven, and gas cooktop. This complete appliance package means the kitchen is ready for daily meal preparation without requiring additional investments. The practical layout ensures that cooking and socializing can easily coincide.
From the kitchen, access is provided to the south-facing balcony measuring 5 square meters. This outdoor space benefits from afternoon and evening sun exposure throughout much of the year. The balcony offers views of the surrounding greenery and the rear facades of the Goudkust properties. The positioning of the balcony provides a degree of privacy due to the natural green environment that surrounds it.
The bedroom is described as cozy and neatly finished, providing a quiet retreat within the apartment. Adjacent to the bedroom, the bathroom has been modernized and includes a shower and washbasin. A notable architectural detail in the bathroom is the stained glass window, which adds character and visual interest to the space. The apartment also features a separate toilet for added convenience.
Storage capacity has been addressed with the inclusion of two storage areas totaling 16 square meters. These additional spaces help keep the main living areas organized and free of clutter, which is particularly valuable in an apartment of this size.
The location of this property is one of its most prominent features. The apartment is directly opposite the Stadswandelpark and in close proximity to the Genneper Parken, offering residents immediate access to green recreational spaces. Despite this peaceful setting, the vibrant center of Eindhoven is within walking distance, as are various shops, terraces, and supermarkets. The Parktheater, a cultural venue, is also easily accessible on foot.
For those with active lifestyles, the surrounding area offers numerous sport facilities including a swimming pool, tennis courts, and a golf club. This concentration of recreational options within the immediate vicinity is a notable advantage for sport enthusiasts.
Parking is available as free public parking directly in front of the building. This arrangement eliminates parking costs and the need to search for a parking spot, adding to the practical appeal of the location.
The apartment is part of an active Homeowners Association (VvE) that is properly registered with the Chamber of Commerce. The VvE holds annual meetings, collects periodic contributions, maintains a reserve fund, has a maintenance plan in place, and has arranged building insurance. These organizational structures indicate a well-managed building with attention to long-term maintenance needs. The monthly service costs amount to 195 euros.
In summary, this Stratum apartment combines an energy-efficient interior with a location that balances proximity to nature with urban convenience. The modern updates to a mid-century building have resulted in a home that meets current standards while retaining its original structural integrity. The combination of the south-facing balcony, two storage spaces, and the premium location near both the Goudkust and Eindhoven's city center creates a distinctive offering in the local apartment market.
