Description
This penthouse is situated on the fifth floor of a modern residential complex at Het Glacis 73 in Zutphen. The building was completed in 2020 and offers six levels of residential space. The apartment presents a total living area of 142 square metres and a volume of 481 cubic metres. The interior layout consists of four rooms, three of which serve as bedrooms, a spacious living room, a fully equipped kitchen, and a bathroom with an additional separate toilet. The living room opens directly onto a private balcony that measures approximately 18 square metres. From this balcony the occupants enjoy uninterrupted views over the River IJssel, the surrounding flood plains and the historic Oude IJssel bridge. The view also extends toward the Veluwe forest region.
The living room features a Swiss oak parquet floor and large sliding glass doors that provide easy access to the balcony. The room is designed to accommodate both a sitting area and a dining area. The kitchen follows an open plan concept and includes a cooking and washing island. The appliance package comprises an induction hob with integrated ventilation, a refrigerator, a dishwasher, a combination oven and a Quooker boiling water tap. The kitchen is finished with high quality materials and provides a functional workspace for everyday cooking.
The three bedrooms vary in size. The smallest measures about 9.5 square metres, the medium bedroom is around 12 square metres and the largest bedroom offers approximately 23 square metres of floor space. All bedrooms are finished with carpet flooring and include built in lighting. The largest bedroom provides direct access to the balcony, allowing for a private outdoor retreat.
The bathroom is equipped with a double vanity, LED lighting, a wash basin, an in‑walk shower, a towel radiator and a wall mounted toilet. A separate toilet is located in the hallway and is also wall mounted. The heating system throughout the apartment consists of a central gas boiler combined with floor heating in all rooms. The hot water is supplied by the same boiler. The building is fully insulated, featuring roof insulation, wall insulation, floor insulation and double glazed windows. Energy performance is rated as label A. The property benefits from a photovoltaic system with seven solar panels that contribute to the electricity supply.
Additional storage is provided by an internal utility room of roughly 12 square metres located in the basement level. This room includes a connection for the washing machine and dryer as well as a dedicated space for the central heating installation. Adjacent to the utility room is a private parking space within an underground garage. Access to the garage is provided by a lift that serves all residential floors.
The residential complex includes a communal garden that is landscaped and maintained for the enjoyment of all residents. The entrance hall is equipped with a video intercom system, a stairwell and a lift. The building is designed to be accessible for people with reduced mobility and for older residents.
The location of the penthouse offers a combination of water side living and proximity to the historic centre of Zutphen. The property is within walking distance of the city centre, which is known for its rich history, a variety of restaurants and unique retail shops. The train station is also within a short walking distance, providing easy connections to nearby cities such as Apeldoorn, Deventer and Arnhem. The surrounding neighbourhood is one of the newer developments in Zutphen and is situated close to the river bank.
The monthly contribution to the homeowners association is approximately 306 euros. The association maintains a reserve fund, conducts an annual meeting, has a maintenance plan and provides coverage for the building insurance. The ownership status is full ownership.
In summary the penthouse offers a high standard of finish, a strong energy performance, private parking, a large balcony with river views, access to a communal garden and a convenient location close to the city centre and public transport.
