Key Features
Description
This exceptionally well-maintained three-room apartment is situated on the first floor of Building C within a residential complex that was constructed in 2001, specifically designed for the 55+ target group. The property offers approximately 96 square meters of living space and represents an excellent opportunity for those seeking a comfortable and accessible home in a well-organized community setting.
Upon entering the apartment building, residents and visitors are welcomed through a spacious main entrance that features mailboxes, an intercom system, and direct access to the elevator installation. The elevator conveniently connects all floors, making this apartment particularly suitable for individuals with reduced mobility or those who simply appreciate the convenience of vertical transportation. The building also provides access to an underground parking garage where the apartment comes with its own designated parking space, an indoor storage unit, and a secure bicycle storage facility.
The apartment itself is accessed via a central hallway that leads to all principal rooms. The entrance hall includes a meter cupboard and provides access to the various living spaces. One of the two bedrooms is currently configured as a combined sleeping and working room, featuring a generous built-in wardrobe with sliding doors, one of which incorporates a mirror. The separate toilet room is neatly finished and includes a small handbasin.
The bathroom is accessible from both the hallway and the main bedroom, offering practical convenience for daily routines. The room is described as well-maintained and functional.
The heart of the apartment consists of a pleasant living room that flows naturally into a semi-open kitchen. The living area provides access to the covered balcony, which measures approximately 11 square meters and offers a pleasant outlook toward the newly constructed developments across the street. The balcony represents a valuable extension of the living space during warmer months and provides a pleasant spot for relaxation.
The kitchen is arranged in a corner configuration and comes equipped with an array of built-in appliances from the reputable A-brand Miele. These appliances include a dishwasher and a refrigerator-freezer combination. Additionally, the kitchen features a four-burner electric cooking surface, an extractor hood, and a pan carousel system that maximizes storage efficiency within the cabinetry.
Practical aspects of the apartment include a CV (central heating) boiler of the Remeha Avanta Ace 28C model, which became the property of the current owner in 2024. The apartment also benefits from mechanical ventilation, and the heating system ensures comfortable temperatures throughout the year. Nearly all doors in the building are equipped with access knobs that automatically open them, emphasizing the accessibility focus of this property.
External sun screens are installed in the living room, providing protection against excessive sunlight and helping to regulate indoor temperatures during sunny periods.
The residential complex is professionally managed by an active and financially healthy Owners Association (VvE). The monthly service costs amount to approximately 245 euros, which covers exterior maintenance of the entire complex, cleaning of common indoor areas, and associated expenses including building insurance.
Regarding energy performance, the apartment features comprehensive insulation including roof insulation, double glazing, HR glass, wall insulation, and floor insulation. The energy label is currently pending and will be provided at a later date.
The location of Hofstaete 35 places residents within the village of Herveld, part of the municipality of Overbetuwe in Gelderland. The property enjoys a peaceful situation on a quiet road while remaining in the village center. The protected positioning contributes to a pleasant living environment.
This apartment represents an ideal housing solution for individuals or couples in the second half of life who value independence combined with the security and community aspects that a purpose-built complex for the 55+ demographic provides. The thoughtful layout, quality appliances, and comprehensive maintenance services combine to create a hassle-free living experience.
The combination of private amenities including the parking space, indoor storage, and balcony, together with shared facilities such as the elevator, bicycle storage, and well-maintained common areas, makes this property a compelling option in the local housing market.
