Spacious Ground Floor Apartment with Character in Nijmegen-Oost
Key Features
Upsides
- The property offers an exceptionally large living area of 191 square meters, which is considerable for a ground floor apartment and provides ample space for various living arrangements.
- The location in Nijmegen-oost is described as the most sought-after area of the city, with proximity to the city center, daily shopping facilities, dining establishments, forests, and floodplains offering diverse recreational options.
- The south-facing balcony and sun terrace provide outdoor space with favorable sun exposure throughout the day.
- The property features a unique character as a converted former shop building from the 1930s, combined with modern renovations to the kitchen and bathroom, offering a distinctive living experience.
- The presence of a second kitchen in the cellar level adds flexibility for potential rental of part of the space or for multigenerational living arrangements.
Downsides
- Part of one bedroom has a ceiling height of only 1.99 meters, which may feel cramped and does not meet the standard minimum height for official living space classification without special consideration.
- The homeowners association lacks a reserve fund, a maintenance plan, and does not hold annual meetings, which could lead to insufficient planning for future maintenance and unexpected special assessments.
- The monthly VvE contribution of 150 euros is relatively high for a property without apparent shared amenities beyond basic building maintenance.
- Parking is only available on public roads, which may require searching for a space and could be challenging in a central location.
- The bedroom in the cellar level may have limited natural light and ventilation compared to above-ground bedrooms, which could affect comfort and livability.
Description
This distinctive ground floor apartment is situated in a former shop building and offers a combination of anonymous yet exceptionally spacious living in a building dating from the 1930s, combined with the luxury and comfort of modern times. The property is located in Nijmegen-oost, which is described as the most sought-after area of the city. Residents benefit from proximity to the city center, shops for daily groceries, dining establishments, pubs, forests, and floodplains known as uiterwaarden.
In 2002, a substantial renovation took place at this property, with considerable attention given to the layout of the space. The renovation also focused on outdoor areas and overall comfort. More recently, the kitchen and bathroom have been tastefully renovated once again, ensuring these key spaces meet contemporary standards.
The property covers an impressive 191 square meters of living space, making it an attractive opportunity for those who value ample room in their home. The total volume of the building is 672 cubic meters. Additionally, there is 9 square meters of other indoor space and 14 square meters of building-bound outdoor space.
The living floor is located on the ground level and comprises a living room, an open kitchen, and a large hobby room that could also serve as an additional living room. The listing notes that this hobby room could easily be converted into a bedroom, offering flexibility in how the space is used. Also located on this floor is the bathroom, which is described as spacious and luxurious.
The cellar or souterrain level contains multiple large rooms, a second kitchen, and access to the back entrance and storage facilities. This lower level significantly expands the usable space of the property and offers various possibilities for its arrangement.
Moving through the layout in detail, the entrance leads to a hall containing the meter cupboard. From here, one accesses a large living and work room featuring sliding doors that open to the front garden. Continuing through, there is a large hall leading to the spacious bathroom, which is equipped with a walk-in shower, a bathtub, and a sink unit. A few steps lead down to an atmospheric and bright living room featuring a skylight that brings in natural light, along with access to the balcony. The luxury open kitchen is equipped with built-in appliances and connects to a portal containing a modern toilet with a fountain.
The cellar level includes a hall and corridor, a toilet, a utility room, a storage area that also functions as a hall, and a multi-functional space. Particularly noteworthy is the very spacious bedroom on this level, which features a large walk-in closet and a cabinet housing the central heating boiler. This bedroom provides access to a canopy structure that connects to the outdoor area and an external storage unit.
The building was originally constructed in 1933 and underwent a thorough renovation in 2002. The roof consists of a composite structure covered with bituminous roofing material and tiles. The property features a south-facing balcony, a storage unit, and a back entrance. The energy label is C, and the property has roof insulation for energy efficiency. Heating and hot water are provided by a high-efficiency combination boiler that runs on gas and is owned by the property.
Outdoor space includes a front garden and a sun terrace measuring 8 square meters, with dimensions of 3.16 meters in depth and 2.23 meters in width. This outdoor area is situated on the south side and is accessible via the back entrance.
Parking is available on public roads in the surrounding area. The property is located in a residential neighborhood, offering a balance between urban convenience and a more settled living environment.
The property is part of a homeowners association that is registered with the Chamber of Commerce. The monthly contribution to the association is 150 euros. However, it should be noted that the association does not hold annual meetings, does not have a reserve fund, and does not have a maintenance plan in place. Building insurance is arranged through the association.
The cadastral designation is HATERT H 2354, and the property is held in full ownership. The asking price is 575,000 euros, which translates to approximately 3,010 euros per square meter of living space. The property is currently available, and the transfer terms are open to negotiation.
One notable characteristic mentioned in the listing is that part of one of the bedrooms has a ceiling height of 1.99 meters. According to the listing, this space was still included in the usable area calculation due to the overall quality of the space and the fact that the remainder of the room has sufficient height to qualify as living space under applicable standards.
The property is described as certainly not an ordinary offering, appealing to those seeking something special in their living arrangement. The listing emphasizes that a proper impression of the property can only be formed through an actual viewing.
