Key Features

The apartment has a total living area of 50 square meters and is classified as a ground floor apartment within an existing building that dates back to 1710. The property holds the status of a protected city and village view and is also designated as a monument, which speaks to its historical significance and character.

Upon entering through the shared entrance, you reach the apartment. The hall provides access to a separate toilet and a practical storage space. The living room is a pleasant area featuring high window sections that allow for beautiful natural light and create a sense of spaciousness. These tall windows are characteristic of the historic nature of the building and contribute significantly to the atmosphere of the space.
The closed kitchen is fitted with a neat arrangement in a light color scheme and comes equipped with various built-in appliances, providing a functional cooking space. The kitchen layout is practical and makes good use of the available space.
The bedroom is well proportioned and offers sufficient room for a comfortable bed and a wardrobe. A sink has been installed in the bedroom, adding an extra element of practicality to this space. This feature can be particularly convenient for daily routines.
The bathroom is functionally arranged and includes a shower, a sink, and the positioning of the central heating boiler. The boiler is a Remeha gas-fired combination boiler and is owned by the property, meaning it will transfer to the new owner upon purchase.
At the rear of the property lies a sheltered and cozy terrace measuring 7 square meters. The terrace has a depth of 2.25 meters and a width of 3.02 meters, and it faces east. This outdoor space provides a quiet spot to sit outside and enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning sun or relax at the end of the day. Having this private outdoor area is a notable feature for a central apartment of this size.
The interior of the apartment is currently quite basic in its finish, but this condition actually presents an excellent opportunity for the new owner to personalize the space according to their own tastes and preferences. The listing includes artist impressions that provide an inspiring view of the possibilities this space holds. The property has a solid foundation with authentic details that can be highlighted and enhanced during any renovation or updating works.
The apartment is part of a recently established Owners Association. The monthly contribution to this association currently amounts to 100 euros. It is worth noting that the VvE is registered with the Chamber of Commerce and has building insurance in place. However, there is currently no annual meeting held, no reserve fund established, and no maintenance plan in place. These are aspects that a prospective buyer may wish to discuss or help develop as part of the VvE.
Regarding energy, the property does not have a mandatory energy label due to its status as a monument. Heating and hot water are both provided by the aforementioned CV combi boiler.
Parking in the area consists of paid parking and parking permits, which is typical for a central location in a historic city center like Middelburg.
The property is available for immediate occupation and is offered at an asking price of 169,000 euros, which is costs payable by the buyer. This translates to approximately 3,380 euros per square meter of living space. The total volume of the apartment is 166 cubic meters.
The cadastral designation is MIDDELBURG L 5451, and the property is held in full ownership. The apartment has natural ventilation as its ventilation system.
This property represents an interesting opportunity for buyers who appreciate historic character and are looking for a project to make their own. The combination of a central location, authentic details, a private terrace, and the potential for customization makes this a distinctive offering in the Middelburg housing market. The basic condition allows for complete personalization while the structural elements and historical features provide a solid and characterful base to work from.
