Key Features

- The French balcony does not provide actual outdoor living space as it is merely a railing behind the doors without a platform to stand on.

- At 7,500 euros per square meter, the price per square meter is relatively high for the small amount of living space provided.
Description
This apartment is situated in the heart of Noordwijkerhout, located on the second floor of the attractive apartment complex named Coremolen. The property is a light and modern finished two room apartment that comes with the convenience of a lift, a communal bicycle storage area, and a parking space in the underground parking garage. The apartment has been well maintained and features good insulation throughout.
The building Coremolen is a portiekflat style apartment building that was constructed in 2012. Being a relatively new building, it benefits from modern construction standards and energy efficiency requirements that were in place at that time. The property has an energy label A, which indicates excellent energy performance. This high rating is achieved through full insulation, hardwood window frames with double glazing, and a modern heating system.
Access to the apartment is through the central entrance on the ground floor, which houses the mailboxes, staircase, and lift. The lift provides convenient access to all floors, making this apartment particularly accessible for residents of all ages and those with mobility considerations. The entrance area is maintained as part of the communal spaces managed by the homeowners association.
Upon entering the apartment on the second floor, you arrive in a hallway that serves as the central circulation space of the home. The hallway is equipped with an intercom system for visitor communication and has a dedicated coat area or garderobe. The electrical meter cabinet is located here and is described as extensive, suggesting ample capacity for modern electrical needs. A storage closet in the hallway houses the mechanical ventilation unit and the combination boiler. The boiler is a Nefit brand gas-fired combi boiler that was installed in 2012, which means it is the original installation from when the building was constructed. This boiler provides both central heating and hot water for the apartment.
The bathroom is modern and fully tiled. It features a shower cabin equipped with a thermostatic faucet for precise temperature control, a washbasin with a vanity unit, and a wall-hung toilet. There is also a connection point for washing appliances, making it practical for daily laundry needs. The bathroom appears to be well proportioned for the size of the apartment and includes all necessary sanitary facilities.
The living and dining room is a bright space that benefits from good natural light. The room has French doors that open to a French balcony. A French balcony is essentially a railing placed directly behind the doors without an actual walkable platform, but it does allow the doors to be opened fully for fresh air and creates a sense of connection to the outside. This room serves as the main living area and would accommodate both a seating area and a dining table.
The kitchen is arranged in an L-shaped configuration and is described as light in appearance. It is equipped with a four-burner gas cooktop, an extractor hood, and a stainless steel sink. While the kitchen is functional and modern, the listing does not mention additional appliances such as a refrigerator, oven, or dishwasher, so prospective buyers should inquire about what is included or plan accordingly.
Throughout nearly the entire apartment, laminate flooring has been installed. This provides a uniform and relatively low-maintenance floor covering. The apartment is described as partially furnished, though the extent of this is not specified in detail.
The property has a total living area of 36 square meters with a volume of 119 cubic meters. It is classified as having two rooms, which typically means one living room and one bedroom. However, the listing description does not explicitly detail a separate bedroom space in the layout description. The apartment occupies one residential floor level and is located on the third residential level of the building when counting from ground level up.
The monthly service costs are approximately 92 euros. Additionally, there is a mandatory parking space that costs approximately 138 euros per month. The listing notes that this parking cost is tax deductible, which can provide some financial relief for the owner. The total homeowners association contribution is listed as 230 euros per month, which appears to include both the general service costs and the parking space fee combined.
The homeowners association appears to be well organized, with registration with the Chamber of Commerce, annual general meetings, periodic contributions, a reserve fund, a maintenance plan, and building insurance all in place. These are positive indicators of proper management and financial health of the association.
Noordwijkerhout is centrally located in the Duin en Bollenstreek region, which translates to the Dune and Flower Bulb region. This area is known for its attractive landscape featuring coastal dunes and flower fields. The town offers various sports clubs, schools, and the beach and dune areas are within a short distance. The town center is literally around the corner from the apartment, offering a wide range of shops and dining establishments.
The apartment is offered at a asking price of 270,000 euros, which is on a cost buyer basis meaning the buyer is responsible for transfer taxes and notary costs. This translates to approximately 7,500 euros per square meter of living space. The delivery of the apartment is by mutual agreement, allowing for some flexibility in the moving date.
This property is described as particularly suitable for starters on the housing market. Given its size, location, and the inclusion of a parking space, it presents itself as a practical first home or potentially an investment property for rental purposes. The combination of central location, modern finishes, and energy efficiency makes it a functional choice for those looking to enter the property market in this attractive region of the Netherlands.
