Description
This well maintained three room apartment is situated on the first floor of a modern complex and comes with the significant benefits of a private storage unit and a dedicated parking space located in the basement. The property is part of the small scale apartment complex named De Dieze. The building was constructed in 2012, which means it meets modern construction standards. As a result of its relatively recent construction date, the apartment is fully insulated. This ensures a comfortable indoor climate throughout the year and contributes to the overall energy efficiency of the home. The complex features a modern architectural design and comprises a total of 31 apartments which vary in size, creating a diverse and pleasant community within the building.
The building is secured well to ensure the safety and privacy of its residents. Heating for the entire complex is managed via a central system. Specifically, a heat pump is used to provide warmth to the apartments. A notable feature of this heat pump is its versatility. While it provides efficient heating during the colder months, it can also be used to cool the apartments during the summer months. This active climate control adds significantly to the comfort levels within the home, allowing residents to enjoy a pleasant temperature regardless of the season.
The location of the property is in the eastern part of the city of Den Bosch. Specifically, it is situated in the Aa district. This residential area is characterized by its central position relative to main arterial roads and the city center. This combination offers residents the best of both worlds. One can enjoy the quietness and livability of a residential neighborhood while remaining very close to the conveniences of the city. The Aa district is known for its high level of amenities and facilities, making it a sought after location for families and professionals alike.
In the immediate vicinity of the apartment, residents have access to a wide range of services and facilities. There are various shops located at the nearby Rivierenplein, ensuring that daily groceries and other shopping needs are within easy reach. For families, the presence of primary schools in the area is a significant benefit. Furthermore, the neighborhood is well suited for active individuals as there are several sports clubs in the direct environment. These include facilities for sports such as hockey and tennis, among others, providing ample opportunities for recreation and social interaction.
The apartment itself offers a functional and pleasant layout designed for comfortable living. It includes a cozy living room which features an open kitchen. This creates a social space where cooking and relaxing can be done together, making it ideal for entertaining or family time. The living room provides access to a balcony, offering an outdoor space to enjoy fresh air. The property contains two bedrooms, making it suitable for a small family, a couple, or individuals working from home. There is also a neat bathroom. The layout is designed to maximize the available space effectively while maintaining a sense of openness.
Moving through the apartment in more detail, the entrance is reached via the gallery on the first floor. Upon entering, one steps into the hall. This hall houses the meter cupboard. It also provides access to a separate toilet which is convenient for guests and daily use. Additionally, there is a storage room in the hall. This storage room is equipped with a washing machine connection, making it a practical utility area for laundry appliances and keeping the main living areas clutter free.
From the hall, the living room with the open kitchen can be reached. The living room is located at the street side of the building. This position ensures plenty of natural light enters the space. The floor covering in the apartment is a neat laminate floor. This flooring has been laid continuously throughout the living room and the bedrooms. This creates a sense of unity and spaciousness in the home and provides a clean, modern look.
The kitchen block is light in color. It offers sufficient cupboard space to store kitchenware and groceries efficiently. The kitchen is well appointed with modern built in appliances that facilitate daily living. These include an induction cooking plate which is efficient and easy to clean. An extractor hood is present to ventilate the kitchen while cooking. For convenience, the kitchen is fitted with a dishwasher. It also includes an oven for baking and roasting. Furthermore, a fridge freezer combination is integrated into the design, completing the kitchen facilities.
The sleeping quarters consist of two bedrooms. One of the bedrooms is adjacent to the balcony. This allows for direct access to the outdoor space from this room, which is a pleasant feature for waking up to fresh air. The entrance to the second bedroom is situated opposite the kitchen. This bedroom provides access to the bathroom. The bathroom is fully tiled which makes it easy to maintain and keep clean. It is equipped with a shower cabin featuring a glass wall. This gives the bathroom a modern and spacious look. A washbasin is also present in the bathroom, catering to daily hygiene needs.
In addition to the internal layout, the property features external spaces that add significant value. As mentioned, there is a balcony attached to the living room and one bedroom, measuring 4 square meters. There is also an external storage unit with a surface area of 19 square meters. This provides ample space for storing bicycles, seasonal items, or gardening equipment, which is a rare luxury for apartment living.
Parking is often a concern in urban areas, but this listing includes a private parking space. This parking spot is located in the parking garage in the basement. Having a guaranteed parking spot adds significant value and convenience to the property, saving time and providing security for the vehicle.
The technical and financial aspects of the property are also noteworthy. The apartment has an energy label A. This indicates that the property is very energy efficient, resulting in lower energy costs for the resident. The service costs for the Homeowners Association are 158.29 euros per month. This contribution covers the maintenance of the common areas and the building. The HOA is professionally managed and registered with the Chamber of Commerce. Annual meetings are held, and there is a maintenance plan and a reserve fund in place, ensuring the building is well cared for in the long term.
The ownership situation is full ownership. The building is equipped with modern amenities such as a fiber optic connection, a lift, and mechanical ventilation. TV cables are also available. The roof is a flat roof covered with bitumen roofing. The total living area is 66 square meters. The volume of the apartment is 217 cubic meters. This property represents a solid opportunity for those seeking a modern, efficient home in a convenient location with excellent amenities.
