Description
This spacious apartment is situated on the seventh residential floor of a well maintained apartment complex in Brunssum. The property offers a notable advantage with free and unobstructed views on both sides of the apartment, providing a sense of openness and connection to the surrounding park like environment. The building was originally constructed in 1968 and has since been maintained by an active and properly organized Homeowners Association.
The basement level of the complex provides residents with practical amenities. There is a private storage unit belonging to this apartment, which is useful for storing bicycles, seasonal items, or other belongings. Additionally, the basement houses a communal bicycle storage area, a space for waste containers, and even a communal bar area for residents to enjoy. Security is taken seriously at this location, with video surveillance systems installed in the basement and throughout the building.
The ground floor entrance presents a welcoming and secure arrival point. Here you will find a central hallway equipped with an intercom system and individual mailboxes. The presence of video surveillance adds an extra layer of security for residents and visitors. Two elevators serve the building, ensuring comfortable and convenient access to all floors, which is particularly appreciated when carrying groceries or moving furniture. A well maintained staircase is also available for those who prefer to take the stairs.
Reaching the seventh floor, you step out into a gallery style hallway that leads directly to the apartment entrance. Upon entering, you are welcomed by a small hallway that includes the meter cupboard and the intercom unit. This practical entrance area provides a natural transition from the public gallery to the private living space.
The open kitchen is located near the entrance and is equipped with functional kitchen installations. The kitchen comes with built in appliances that include a refrigerator with freezer compartment, an oven, a cooktop, and an extractor hood. This setup provides everything needed for daily meal preparation without the need for additional purchases.
The living room is generously proportioned and benefits from ample natural light. A door provides direct access to the balcony, creating a seamless indoor outdoor flow. The living space is comfortable and offers enough room for various furniture arrangements, whether you prefer a cozy seating area or a more open layout for entertaining.
The balcony extends the living space outdoors and features two sun awnings, allowing you to control the amount of shade throughout the day. From the balcony, you can enjoy the free and unobstructed view of the park like surroundings. This outdoor space is perfect for relaxing, enjoying a morning coffee, or dining al fresco during the warmer months.
The apartment includes two bedrooms, making it suitable for couples, small families, or those who need a home office space. The bedrooms are accessible from a central corridor area that also leads to the other rooms in the apartment.
A separate storage room, or voorraadruimte, is located between the bedrooms and bathroom area. This practical space houses the washing machine connection, keeping laundry appliances out of sight while still being easily accessible.
The bathroom was completely renovated in 2023 and presents a modern and fresh appearance. It features a walk in shower and a fixed washbasin with a vanity cabinet. The renovation ensures that this essential space meets contemporary standards and provides a comfortable daily routine.
A separate tiled toilet room is located near the bathroom, offering privacy and convenience. Having the toilet separate from the bathroom is a practical layout feature that allows multiple residents to use the facilities simultaneously.
The apartment benefits from several recent improvements. The air conditioning unit in the living room was installed in 2025, providing cooling comfort during hot summer days. The windows feature wooden frames with double glazing and HR++ glass, which contributes to better insulation and energy efficiency compared to the original specifications of the building.
Heating is provided through a block heating system, which means the heat is generated centrally for the entire building complex. Hot water is also supplied through a central facility. The monthly advance payment for heating costs is 150 euros, which covers the estimated usage throughout the year.
The Homeowners Association is properly organized and registered with the Chamber of Commerce. Monthly VvE contributions amount to 193.65 euros. The association holds annual meetings, maintains a reserve fund, has a maintenance plan in place, and has arranged building insurance. These elements indicate a responsible and proactive approach to building management.
Parking is available in the immediate vicinity of the complex, with more than sufficient public parking spaces around the building. While there is no private parking spot assigned to the apartment, the abundance of parking spaces makes finding a spot convenient for residents and visitors alike.
A small scale shopping center is located within walking distance, providing easy access to daily necessities and services. The location on a quiet road further enhances the living comfort, offering a peaceful residential environment.
The asking price for this apartment is 189000 euros, with the buyer responsible for the transfer costs. The price per square meter comes to approximately 2100 euros. The total living area measures 90 square meters, with an additional 8 square meters of outdoor space in the form of the balcony and 5 square meters of external storage.
The energy label for this property is E, which reflects the original construction year of 1968. While the HR++ glazing provides improved insulation, the overall energy rating indicates there may be opportunities for further energy efficiency improvements in the future.
The purchase process requires a security deposit or bank guarantee equal to ten percent of the purchase price. This amount must be deposited with the notary within two weeks after the financing contingency period has expired. The sale agreement only becomes binding once both buyer and seller have signed the written contract, as required by Dutch law.
This apartment offers a combination of practical features, recent upgrades, and a pleasant living environment. The unobstructed views, recent bathroom renovation, new air conditioning, and well organized Homeowners Association make this property a solid choice for those seeking a comfortable apartment in Brunssum.
