Description
This three room corner apartment is situated at Frans Halsplantsoen 171 and offers a quiet residential location with a beautiful view and a spacious storage room. The property is located directly on the Vliet waterway and presents various possibilities to arrange the interior entirely according to personal taste. Thanks to the two balconies, residents can enjoy the sun at different times of the day. The recently renewed and insulated roof contributes to additional living comfort, and the property currently holds energy label C.
The building features an entrance on the ground floor with an intercom system and mailboxes. From here, residents have access to a spacious storage room measuring approximately three by two and a half meters. The apartment itself is located on the third floor, which is reached via a staircase. The entrance of the apartment opens into a hallway. At the rear side, there is a simple but neat kitchen equipped with a connection for a washing machine and a recently renewed Bosch Tronic 7500 T boiler. From the kitchen, there is access to the rear balcony. The hallway also contains two built in closets, the meter cupboard with five electrical groups and an earth leakage switch, and a separate toilet.
The dining room provides access to the sunny front balcony, which offers a beautiful free view over the greenery and the Vliet. Adjacent to the dining room is the bright living room, which feels even more spacious due to additional side windows. From the living room, the spacious bedroom with built in closets can be reached. The bathroom, featuring a walk in shower and washbasin, is accessible through the bedroom.
The property offers a pleasant and bright living space with considerable potential and flexibility in its layout. Creating an en suite living room through the connection of the front and rear spaces is among the possibilities. The current layout allows for various configurations depending on the preferences of future residents.
The apartment is equipped with plastic window frames with mostly double glazing. Sun blinds are present at the front side. Parking is available publicly without the need for a permit, and there is generally ample parking space in the area. The location is central, close to the pleasant town center, the Vlietlanden recreation area, the city of Leiden, and good connections to the A4 and N44 highways.
The measurements and floor plans provided are indicative. The Homeowners Association is healthy and active, with a monthly contribution of 274.59 euros, of which 71.29 euros is an advance for heating. The delivery of the property is expected at the end of August or beginning of September.
The property has a total living area of 60 square meters. The built on outside space measures 6 square meters, referring to the balconies. The external storage space also measures 6 square meters. The total volume of the apartment is 190 cubic meters. The building dates from 1975 and features a flat roof covered with bituminous roofing material.
In terms of energy efficiency, the property has been improved with roof insulation and double glazing, resulting in energy label C. Heating is provided through block heating, which is a centralized system serving multiple units in the building. Hot water is generated by an electric boiler. The property features mechanical ventilation as well as natural ventilation options. A television cable connection is available.
The location is described as being near a park, on a quiet road, along the water, in a residential area, with an open position and a free view. The storage facility is a box type with electricity available. Parking is provided as public parking without specific allocated spaces.
The Homeowners Association is properly registered with the Chamber of Commerce, holds annual meetings, collects periodic contributions, maintains a reserve fund, has a maintenance plan in place, and has arranged building insurance. These administrative aspects indicate a well organized and responsible association managing the building.
The cadastral designation is listed as VOORSCHOTEN B 10806, and the property is offered as full ownership. The asking price is 339,000 euros, which translates to approximately 5,650 euros per square meter of living space. The property is currently available and acceptance is subject to consultation. The property is classified as an existing build apartment, specifically an upper floor apartment within a building with four residential floors.
The apartment is situated on the fourth residential level, which provides an elevated position contributing to the free view mentioned in the listing. This elevated position, combined with the corner location, ensures that the property benefits from natural light from multiple directions throughout the day.
The property is being offered for viewing by appointment on June 17, with the agents expressing willingness to personally explain the various possibilities for the space during a visit. This suggests that the current layout may not fully represent the potential of the apartment, and that structural or layout changes could further enhance the living experience.
