Bright 3-room apartment with spacious west-facing balcony in Vaartbroek, Eindhoven
Key Features
Description
This spacious three-room apartment is situated on the fourth floor of a well-maintained residential complex in the Vaartbroek neighborhood, which is part of the Woensel-Noord district in Eindhoven. Built in 1969, the apartment offers approximately 88 square meters of living space and presents an excellent opportunity for both starters and those looking to move up the property ladder.
Upon entering the apartment, you arrive in a generous hallway that provides access to almost all rooms in the dwelling. The layout has been thoughtfully designed to maximize both space and natural light throughout the property.
The living room is a particular highlight of this apartment. With a depth of approximately 10 meters, this bright and inviting living space benefits from large window panels that overlook the balcony. The generous dimensions offer ample room for a comfortable seating area as well as a dining corner, making it an ideal space for everyday living and entertaining guests. The abundant natural light creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
Adjacent to the living room, you will find the enclosed kitchen, which is equipped with a kitchen cabinet featuring a stainless steel worktop and stainless steel sink. The kitchen also includes various lower and upper cabinets providing practical storage solutions for all your culinary needs. From the kitchen, you have direct access to a convenient utility and laundry room where the connections for washing appliances are located.
The apartment features two bedrooms, both of which benefit from window panels that ensure plenty of natural light enters the rooms. Currently, the space that could serve as a third bedroom or home office is incorporated into the living room, creating an exceptionally spacious living area. However, should you require an additional bedroom or a dedicated workspace, it would be possible to reinstate this third room, offering flexibility to suit your lifestyle needs.
The bathroom has been finished with tiles and is equipped with a bathtub and a sink. The toilet with a small handbasin is located separately, which adds to the convenience and functionality of the apartment.
One of the standout features of this apartment is the spacious balcony facing west. This balcony spans the full width of the apartment and is accessible from both the living room and the master bedroom. This outdoor space is perfect for enjoying the afternoon and evening sun, whether you prefer to relax with a book or simply take in the surroundings. The western orientation ensures you can make the most of the sunny hours throughout the day.
The apartment comes with a private storage room located on the ground floor, which is equipped with lighting. This provides practical extra storage space for items that you want to keep handy but prefer not to store in your living areas.
The residential complex features a covered, communal entrance area with an intercom system and mailboxes. The reception hall provides access to two elevators and a staircase, ensuring easy movement throughout the building. The presence of two elevators is particularly convenient and adds to the accessibility of the property. Free parking is available at the front of the apartment building, eliminating the common headache of searching for parking spaces.
The building is equipped with block heating, which means the heating costs are shared among the residents. The electrical installation has been modernized, featuring a renewed distribution board with four groups and two residual current circuit breakers, as well as a smart electricity meter. The apartment has an energy label E, and while there is roof insulation and largely double glazing present, prospective buyers should account for potential modernization costs related to energy efficiency improvements.
The homeowners association is properly established with an active registration at the Chamber of Commerce. The association holds annual meetings, maintains a reserve fund, and has a maintenance plan in place. The building insurance is also in effect. The monthly service costs for the association amount to 174.71 euros, excluding advance payments for heating costs.
The location of this apartment is another significant advantage. The complex is situated in a green and central area within the Vaartbroek residential district. Within walking distance, you will find various shops for daily groceries at the Vaartbroek shopping center, sports facilities, schools, and public transportation options. The larger WoensXL shopping center and the Catharina Hospital are both just a few minutes away by car. The proximity to the major highways A2, A50, and A58, as well as the N2, ensures excellent connectivity to surrounding cities including 's-Hertogenbosch, Tilburg, and Nijmegen. The city center of Eindhoven is easily reachable within 20 minutes by bicycle, making this an ideal location for those who appreciate urban conveniences combined with good accessibility.
In summary, this apartment offers a wonderful combination of space, light, and a convenient location. With its generous living areas, west-facing balcony, and the flexibility to create an additional bedroom or workspace, it caters to a wide range of housing needs. The presence of two elevators, private storage, and free parking further enhance the appeal of this property. Whether you are a first-time buyer or looking to move to a more spacious residence, this apartment in Vaartbroek presents a compelling opportunity worth considering.
