Description
This charming apartment is situated at Fagelstraat 20 in Nijmegen, a historic city in the eastern part of the Netherlands. Built in 1906, this property has been recently and thoroughly renovated to meet modern standards while preserving its original character. The apartment is located on the second floor of a building that falls under a protected cityscape designation, ensuring the architectural heritage of the area is maintained.
Upon entering the property, you are welcomed by a spacious private entrance hall. This entrance provides access to the staircase leading to the first floor, as well as to a generous basement area that offers excellent storage possibilities. The basement is particularly valuable in a city center location where storage space often comes at a premium.
The first floor houses the bright and spacious living room, which serves as the heart of this home. The open-plan kitchen is a true highlight of the apartment, featuring high-quality materials and appliances. The kitchen is equipped with a stylish matte black Quooker tap, providing instant boiling water for cooking and beverages. Additionally, a Bora induction cooktop with an integrated extraction system creates a sleek and modern cooking experience without the need for a separate range hood. The characteristic ensuite doors allow you to separate the dining area and kitchen from the living room, providing flexibility in how you use the space and creating distinct zones for different activities. Also located on this floor is a wall-mounted toilet with a charming period-style washbasin, adding to the vintage character of the property.
Ascending to the second floor, you immediately notice the impressive amount of natural light flooding the space. This is due to the glass extension and the carefully positioned skylight that have been installed during the renovation. The result is a particularly spacious and pleasant living climate throughout this level. At the top of the stairs on the right side, you will find a generous bathroom. The bathroom features a large vanity unit with double sinks and a spacious walk-in shower. The carefully selected colors and materials blend seamlessly with the rest of the home, creating a calm and luxurious atmosphere. Adjacent to the bathroom, there is a separate room specifically designed for housing the washing machine and dryer, keeping these appliances out of sight and maintaining the clean aesthetic of the living spaces.
This floor also contains two rooms that can serve as bedrooms or be used for other purposes. The first bedroom is equipped with custom-built-in wardrobe closets and has access to a balcony at the front of the building. From this balcony, you have a view overlooking the Julianapark, a green oasis located at the edge of the city center. This area is undergoing development and provides a lovely place for relaxation or outdoor exercise. The second room is multifunctional and can easily serve as an additional bedroom, home office, or hobby room, depending on your needs.
At the rear of the apartment, you will discover a delightful roof terrace where you can enjoy a good book or spend long summer evenings in peace. The spacious landing area offers the possibility to create a covered seating area, allowing you to enjoy the beautiful natural light throughout the entire year. The roof terrace measures approximately 16 square meters with dimensions of 3.18 meters in depth and 4.99 meters in width, and it faces south, ensuring optimal sun exposure throughout the day.
The apartment comes with a monthly homeowners association contribution of 50 euros, which covers basic maintenance and administrative costs. There is a reserve fund in place, and the association is registered with the Chamber of Commerce and holds annual meetings. An estate insurance policy is active for the building.
In terms of energy efficiency, the property features roof insulation and mostly double-glazed windows. The property does not currently have an energy label available, which means potential buyers should factor in possible improvements to bring the energy performance up to current standards. Heating and hot water are provided by a Nefit combination boiler from 2013, which is owned by the current owner and will be transferred to the buyer.
Parking in the area is available through public parking or with a parking permit. The cadastral designation for this property is HATERT G 1663, and the ownership is full ownership with no leasehold arrangements.
The total living area of the apartment is 112 square meters, with an additional 7 square meters of other indoor space comprising the basement. The building-related outdoor space measures 17 square meters, which includes the balcony and roof terrace areas. The total volume of the building is 463 cubic meters.
This apartment distinguishes itself through its high-quality renovation, intelligent layout, and luxurious finishes. Everything has been assembled with attention to detail, with style and comfort in perfect balance. It represents a beautiful move-in ready apartment with a surprisingly large sun terrace in a prime location in Nijmegen, within walking distance of the city center and the green spaces of the Julianapark area.
