The inclusion of a very spacious bathroom adds a touch of luxury to the daily routine, equipped with a shower and a washbasin furniture unit. The practical design of the bathroom ensures it is both functional and comfortable.
One of the key highlights of this property is the delightful balcony located on the South.

The sunny aspect contributes to the overall brightness and warmth of the apartment, extending the living space into the fresh air.

It provides ample space for storing bicycles, gardening equipment, seasonal decorations, or luggage, ensuring that the main living areas remain tidy and organized. For those with bicycles, this secure storage is a significant benefit.

The accessibility is further enhanced by the proximity to various major roads, allowing for quick and easy travel by car to surrounding urban centers and the broader Randstad region.

It holds an Energy Label A+, indicating high energy efficiency which results in lower energy bills and a reduced carbon footprint. Heating and hot water are provided by a central heating boiler (CV-ketel), and the home is equipped with a mechanical ventilation system to ensure a healthy indoor climate. The presence of a lift in the building adds an extra layer of convenience, particularly when moving heavy items or for residents with limited mobility. The building is a gallery flat, which often provides a sense of community and security.
The property is part of an active and well-managed Homeowners Association (VvE). The monthly service costs are 172.13 euros, which covers the maintenance and management of the building's common areas. The VvE is professionally registered with the Chamber of Commerce (KvK), holds annual meetings, and has a healthy reserve fund. There is a multi-year maintenance plan in place, and the building is insured, ensuring that the property is well-maintained and financially secure for the future. This active management is a key benefit for apartment owners, as it protects the value of the property and ensures that shared responsibilities are handled professionally.

The apartment is available for immediate acceptance, meaning new owners can move in without delay. An open house is scheduled for Saturday, June 13, 2026, providing an excellent opportunity to view the property.
