Completely Renovated Apartment near Noorderplantsoen with Modern Floor Heating

Located in the vibrant city of Groningen, specifically within the charming Hortusbuurt-Ebbingekwartier district, this fully renovated apartment presents a unique opportunity for modern urban living. Situated at Grote Appelstraat 40A, the property is positioned immediately adjacent to the Noorderplantsoen, one of the city's most beloved green spaces. This location offers the rare combination of city center convenience and immediate access to nature, making it a highly desirable residence. The apartment, which covers 48 square meters of living space, has been entirely renovated to provide the comfort and aesthetics of a new build home while retaining the character of its original 1940s structure.

The extensive renovation undertaken at this property ensures that no further work is required by the new owner. The apartment has been updated with a focus on energy efficiency and modern aesthetics. One of the most significant upgrades is the installation of floor heating throughout the entire property. This heating method replaces traditional radiators, resulting in a more even distribution of heat and freeing up wall space for furniture placement and artwork. The floor heating is powered by an Intergas central heating boiler, a gas fired combination unit installed in 2017, which is included in the sale. To complement the heating system, the floor has been insulated to improve thermal retention and reduce energy loss.

The interior finish is of a high standard, featuring a brand new herringbone pattern PVC floor that runs continuously through the rooms. This flooring choice is not only durable and easy to maintain but also adds a touch of classic elegance to the modern interior. All walls have been re plastered, providing a smooth and clean finish that enhances the sense of light and space. The electrical system has also been modernized, with a renewed meter cupboard containing twelve groups, ensuring the electrical capacity meets contemporary demands.

The layout of the apartment is thoughtfully designed to maximize the available space. Access is gained through a shared open portico, leading to the private front door on the second floor. The entrance hall serves as the central nerve center of the home, housing the toilet and the technical installations. From here, the flow leads to both the living area and the bedroom.

The living room is located at the front of the apartment, offering a pleasant view over the characteristic Grote Appelstraat and a glimpse of the Noorderplantsoen. This room is designed to be the heart of the home, with ample space for a comfortable seating area. The natural light entering from the front accentuates the quality of the new finishes. The living room is open plan to the modern kitchen, creating a social space suitable for dining and entertaining. The kitchen is equipped with a comprehensive suite of appliances, including a four point induction hob for efficient cooking, a recirculation extraction hood, a dishwasher for convenience, a refrigerator, and a combination microwave. The layout accommodates a dining table, making it a functional space for daily meals.

The bedroom is situated on the quieter side of the apartment, ensuring a peaceful night's sleep. This room is generous in size and includes a fixed closet that cleverly houses the washing machine connection and the technical manifold for the floor heating system, keeping these utilities out of sight. There is sufficient remaining floor space to accommodate a large wardrobe or other bedroom furniture. A notable feature of the layout is the en suite bathroom, which is accessible directly from the bedroom. The bathroom has been completely renovated and features a shower equipped with both a hand shower and a rain shower head, a vanity unit with storage, and a wall cabinet. This design provides a high level of privacy and convenience.

From the bedroom, one gains access to the balcony, which faces the southeast. With an area of eight square meters, this outdoor space is perfect for enjoying a morning coffee or an evening drink. The southeast orientation means the balcony catches the sun during the key parts of the day, making it a pleasant extension of the living space during warmer months.

The location of Grote Appelstraat is arguably one of the most appealing aspects of this property. The Noorderplantsoen park is right next door, effectively serving as a large garden for residents to enjoy. The park is a popular spot for walking, running, and relaxing, offering a tranquil escape from the bustle of the city. Despite this proximity to nature, the historic center of Groningen is just a stone's throw away. The vibrant city center with its extensive shopping facilities, restaurants, cafes, and cultural venues is within easy walking distance. Additionally, the neighborhood is well served by public transport, and general daily amenities such as shops and supermarkets are close by.

Practical details of the property include the monthly Homeowners Association (VvE) contribution, which is approximately 55 euros. The property is located on the second floor of a building constructed in 1940 with a flat roof. The ownership is full property. Parking is available through a permit system. While the energy label is currently F, which is typical for buildings of this era, the internal renovations such as floor insulation and a modern boiler provide a baseline for comfort that exceeds many similar properties of the same vintage. The apartment offers a unique blend of historical context and modern luxury in a prime location.
