Spacious 3-Room Apartment with Balcony at De Loods in Alblasserdam
Key Features
Description
Kloos in Alblasserdam presents a unique residential opportunity that combines the tranquility of a green, water-rich environment with the convenience of nearby urban amenities. This new development, known as De Loods, offers type C1A apartments that cater to modern living requirements while being situated in a location that provides both natural beauty and practical accessibility.
The apartment spans 74 square meters of living space, complemented by an additional 7 square meter balcony. The interior layout has been designed to maximize the available space, featuring a generous living room with large window sections that allow natural light to fill the space. These windows also provide views of the surrounding landscape, which includes the nearby river de Noord and the characteristic Dutch scenery that this region is known for.
The apartment comprises three rooms in total, with two designated as bedrooms. This configuration makes the property suitable for various household compositions, from couples to small families or individuals who require a home office space alongside a bedroom. The sleeping quarters are separate from the main living area, providing privacy and a clear distinction between daytime and nighttime zones within the home.
The bathroom is equipped with modern fixtures including a shower and a washbasin. Additionally, there is a separate toilet room, which adds to the practical functionality of the apartment. This separation of facilities is a practical feature that allows multiple residents to use the bathroom facilities simultaneously without inconvenience.
The building is classified as a gallery flat, meaning the apartments are accessed via an open corridor or gallery. This type of construction is common in Dutch multi-story residential buildings and provides a communal outdoor space that connects the individual units. The apartment is situated on the third floor, and the building is equipped with a lift, ensuring easy access to the upper levels regardless of mobility considerations.
Energy efficiency has been a priority in the design of these apartments. The property has been awarded an A+++ energy label, which is the highest rating available under the Dutch energy labeling system. This excellent rating is achieved through full insulation of the building envelope and the installation of underfloor heating throughout the apartment. Underfloor heating provides an even distribution of warmth and can contribute to a comfortable indoor climate while maintaining energy efficiency. The mechanical ventilation system ensures a constant supply of fresh air without the need to open windows, which helps maintain the energy performance while promoting good indoor air quality.
Each apartment comes with its own dedicated parking space located on the premises. This is a valuable feature in areas where on-street parking can be limited or subject to permit requirements. Having a guaranteed parking spot adds convenience for residents who own a vehicle.
The location of Kloos in Alblasserdam offers residents access to a range of amenities and attractions. The immediate vicinity includes restaurants, shops, and outdoor terraces where residents can enjoy dining and socializing. The Makado shopping center is within easy reach for grocery shopping and retail needs. The Dam area provides additional options for socializing and enjoying the local atmosphere.
For those who require access to larger urban centers, both Dordrecht and Rotterdam are situated at a short distance from Alblasserdam. This proximity allows residents to benefit from the employment opportunities, cultural offerings, and services that these cities provide while returning to a quieter residential environment at the end of the day.
The natural surroundings of the location are particularly noteworthy. The area is described as water-rich, with the river de Noord nearby. The famous Kinderdijk windmills, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, are in the vicinity, offering both a scenic backdrop and a cultural attraction. The presence of boats on the river adds to the character of the landscape and reflects the maritime heritage of the region.
The building features a flat roof construction, which is typical for modern apartment buildings of this type. The total volume of the apartment is 192 cubic meters, which provides an indication of the spatial quality of the interior in addition to the floor area measurement.
The property is offered with full ownership rights, meaning the buyer will own the apartment outright rather than holding a leasehold interest. This is the most straightforward form of property ownership in the Netherlands.
The development is backed by a Woningborg Guarantee Certificate. This guarantee provides protection for buyers of new-build properties in the Netherlands, ensuring that the development will be completed even if the developer encounters financial difficulties. This adds a layer of security to the purchase.
The expected delivery date for the apartments is between the end of 2028 and mid-2029. This timeline indicates that the development is still in the planning or early construction phase. Buyers should be aware of this delivery schedule when making their purchase decision, particularly if they have specific timing requirements for their housing needs.
The asking price for this apartment is 438,000 euros, which translates to approximately 5,919 euros per square meter based on the 74 square meter living area. This price is stated as being vrij op naam, meaning that the buyer will not be responsible for paying the transfer tax that is normally due when purchasing residential property in the Netherlands.
The cadastral designation for the property is listed as ALBLASSERDAM A. 8899, which identifies the specific parcel in the land registry. This information can be used to verify the legal description of the property through the Kadaster, the Dutch land registry office.
The apartment is currently listed as available for purchase. The terms of transfer are described as being open to negotiation, which typically refers to the timing of the handover of the property rather than the price. Given the future delivery date, the actual transfer will take place upon completion of the construction.
It should be noted that the listing indicates that the Homeowners Association (Vereniging van Eigenaren or VvE) has not yet been formally established, as evidenced by the negative responses to the VvE checklist items regarding KvK registration, annual meetings, periodic contributions, reserve fund, maintenance plan, and building insurance. This is expected for a new development that has not yet been completed and handed over to the residents. Once the apartments are delivered, a VvE will typically be established to manage the common areas and shared responsibilities of the building.
