Bright 3-Room Apartment on 4th Floor with Balcony and Free View in Maassluis
Key Features
Description
This well positioned three room apartment is situated on the fourth floor of a gallery flat in the popular Koningshoek district of Maassluis. With a total living area of 55 square meters, the property offers a comfortable and practical layout that is suitable for various living situations. The apartment features two bedrooms, a combined living and kitchen area, a bathroom, and a covered balcony with a pleasant free view. Built in 1983, the property has been well maintained and is equipped with modern amenities including aluminum frames with double glazing and an energy label B rating.
The apartment building itself is accessed through a secure central entrance equipped with an intercom system and mailboxes. Residents and visitors can reach the upper floors via either an elevator or stairs, providing convenient access to all levels of the building. The building also features an external storage space located in the base of the structure, which is equipped with lighting and electricity connections, offering practical additional storage for the residents.
Upon entering the apartment through the front door from the covered gallery, you step into a lockable entrance hall. This space features a laminate floor and smooth finished walls, creating a neat and tidy first impression. The hall includes a built-in storage closet that is also accessible from the gallery side, providing convenient storage for coats, shoes, or other items. From this central hallway, all rooms of the apartment are accessible, including the bathroom, two bedrooms, and the open kitchen which connects directly to the living room.
The bathroom is largely tiled and equipped with essential fixtures including a shower, a washbasin, and a toilet. A towel radiator provides warmth and convenient drying space for towels. The bathroom also accommodates the washing machine connection, making it a practical and functional space for daily use. The bathroom layout is efficient and designed to make the most of the available space.
The two bedrooms are situated adjacent to each other, both featuring laminate flooring and wallpapered walls. These rooms offer comfortable sleeping quarters and can also serve as a home office or hobby room depending on the needs of the resident. The adjacent positioning of the bedrooms allows for privacy from the main living areas while maintaining a logical flow through the apartment.
The open kitchen is designed with straight kitchen blocks on both sides, creating an efficient workspace. One side features upper cabinets providing ample storage space, while the other side is equipped with a gas cooktop and a sink with a faucet. The open connection between the kitchen and the living room creates a spacious feel and allows for interaction between cooking and living areas. This layout is ideal for those who enjoy cooking while still being part of the social atmosphere in the living room.
The living room is a particularly inviting space, thanks in large part to the large sliding door that leads to the balcony. This sliding door allows abundant natural light to flood the room, creating a bright and airy atmosphere throughout the day. The living room provides sufficient space for both a dining area and a sitting area, making it a versatile space for relaxation and entertainment. The radiator is neatly concealed behind a cover, maintaining the clean lines of the room. The walls are finished smoothly and the floor is covered with laminate, creating a cohesive and well maintained appearance.
The covered balcony extends the living space outdoors and offers a delightful free view, making it a pleasant spot to sit outside and relax. Despite the open view, the balcony maintains a sense of shelter and privacy. The partition between adjacent balconies is finished with a wooden fence, adding a warm natural element to the outdoor space. The balcony floor is tiled, providing a clean and easy to maintain surface. This outdoor space becomes particularly enjoyable during the warmer months, serving as an extension of the living room.
The entire apartment is fitted with aluminum frames and double glazing, contributing to both the energy efficiency and the sound insulation of the property. The heating and hot water are supplied by a gas fired combination boiler dating from 2008, which is the property of the homeowner. The energy label B indicates that the apartment has a relatively good energy performance, which is reflected in reasonable energy costs for the residents.
The apartment is part of an active Owners Association (Vereniging van Eigenaren or VvE) that charges a monthly contribution of 159 euros. This VvE is registered with the Chamber of Commerce, holds annual meetings, maintains a reserve fund, has a maintenance plan in place, and provides building insurance. These are all indicators of a well managed and professionally run association, which contributes to the long term maintenance and value preservation of the property.
The location of the apartment is a significant advantage. Situated in the established and popular Koningshoek neighborhood in Maassluis, the property offers excellent accessibility to a wide range of amenities and services. The shopping center Koningshoek is within close proximity, providing convenient access to daily groceries and other retail needs. Public transportation options are also readily available, making it easy to travel to surrounding areas. Various daily facilities and services are located nearby, adding to the convenience of the location.
For those who appreciate outdoor activities and nature, the location offers proximity to green spaces and walking opportunities. The charming city center of Maassluis is also within easy reach, providing access to a wider range of shops, restaurants, and cultural activities. The combination of comfort and accessibility makes this location particularly attractive for those seeking a balance between urban conveniences and a pleasant residential environment.
The property is situated on privately owned land (eigen grond), meaning there is no ground lease involved. This is an important consideration for buyers as it eliminates the complexity and potential costs associated with leasehold arrangements. The apartment will be available for transfer upon mutual agreement between the buyer and seller. Given the age of the property, being built in 1983 and therefore over 30 years old, a standard age clause will be included in the purchase agreement. This clause is a normal legal protection that acknowledges the property has been constructed more than three decades ago.
In summary, this three room apartment offers a practical and comfortable living space in a well connected and desirable location. The property combines functional layouts with natural light, modern amenities, and a pleasant outdoor space. Whether as a starter home, a downsizing option, or an investment property, this apartment presents a solid opportunity in the Maassluis housing market.
