Description
This well-maintained and modernly finished apartment is located at Cipreshout 44 in the municipality of Barendrecht. The property offers a pleasant living environment with a spacious balcony facing west, providing residents with an outdoor space that enjoys afternoon and evening sun throughout the warmer months. The apartment is situated on the second residential floor and can be reached via a central entrance that serves the building.
Upon entering the apartment through the hallway, residents gain access to the various rooms within the property. The living room has been designed with a spacious layout and benefits from large window sections that allow for pleasant natural light to enter the space throughout the day. The open plan design creates a natural connection between the living area and the kitchen, resulting in a cohesive living space. There is ample room available to accommodate a generous seating area as well as a large dining table, making this space suitable for both daily living and entertaining guests.
The modern open kitchen is equipped with various luxury built-in appliances that enhance both the functionality and appearance of this space. The kitchen includes a wine cooler, a combination oven, a dishwasher, a refrigerator, a freezer, and an induction cooktop with integrated extraction system. These features make the kitchen not only practical for daily use but also an attractive focal point within the living area. The integrated extraction system above the cooktop eliminates the need for a separate extractor hood, contributing to the clean and modern appearance of the kitchen.
From the living room, residents have direct access to the spacious balcony. This outdoor space is fully tiled and functions as a natural extension of the living area. The balcony faces west, which means it receives sun during the afternoon and evening hours, making it an ideal spot to relax after a day of work. The balcony also offers an unobstructed view over the surrounding neighborhood, adding to the sense of space and openness.
The apartment includes two bedrooms, providing flexibility for different living situations. The largest bedroom has been designed with a generous layout, offering plenty of space for a double bed and additional furniture such as wardrobes or a desk. The second bedroom is located at the front of the apartment and features a PVC floor. This room is well-suited for use as a home office, guest room, or hobby space, depending on the needs of the residents.
The bathroom has been finished to a high standard with a focus on comfort and luxury. It is equipped with a walk-in shower, a bathtub, a sink, a wall-hung toilet, and a sunshower. The sunshower feature allows residents to enjoy an infrared heating experience while showering, adding an extra element of comfort to the daily routine. The combination of both a walk-in shower and a bathtub provides flexibility in how the bathroom is used.
In addition to the main bathroom, there is a separate toilet room that is fully tiled and equipped with a wall-hung toilet, a sink, and mechanical ventilation. This separate facility adds convenience for households with multiple residents or for when guests are visiting.
A practical laundry room is also present within the apartment, containing the necessary connections for both a washing machine and a dryer. This room also houses the Remeha central heating boiler, which was installed in 2020 and runs on natural gas. The relatively recent installation of the boiler means that residents can expect reliable heating and hot water for the foreseeable future.
The property holds an energy label A rating, indicating that it meets high standards of energy efficiency. The apartment features double glazing throughout, which contributes to both the energy performance and the comfort of the living spaces by reducing heat loss and minimizing external noise.
Residents of this apartment also benefit from a private storage room located on the ground floor of the building. This storage space is equipped with electricity, making it suitable for storing bicycles, garden equipment, or other items that may not be needed on a daily basis. The presence of electricity in the storage room also allows for charging electric bicycles if desired.
The Cipreshout location is situated in a quiet and popular residential area within Barendrecht. The immediate surroundings include shops, public transportation options, sports clubs, and various daily amenities, ensuring that residents have everything they need within easy reach. The property also benefits from good accessibility to the main roads leading to both Rotterdam and Dordrecht, making it suitable for commuters who work in these cities but prefer to live in a quieter residential environment.
Parking for residents and visitors is available in the form of public parking spaces in the direct vicinity of the building. While there is no private parking associated with the apartment, the listing indicates that there is sufficient public parking available in the area.
The apartment is part of a homeowners association that is registered with the Chamber of Commerce. The association holds annual meetings, collects periodic contributions, maintains a reserve fund, has a maintenance plan in place, and has arranged building insurance. The monthly VvE contribution is 306 euros, which includes an 80 euro advance payment for heating costs. This contribution covers the shared expenses and maintenance of the common areas and the building exterior.
