Renovated Ground Floor Apartment with Garden in Schiedam City Center

This ground floor apartment is situated on the Hoogstraat in the center of Schiedam, offering a renovated living space with a backyard. The property is classified as a two room apartment featuring one bedroom, with the total living area stated as 75 square meters in the main listing details, though an alternative figure of 51 square meters appears in the special features section of the listing.

The entrance to the property is at ground level with its own front door. Upon entering, there is a hallway containing a fixed closet which houses the electricity meter. From this hallway, residents can access both the living room and the first bedroom.

The living area incorporates an open kitchen layout, creating a spacious and light filled environment. Large windows contribute to the natural light entering the space. The seating area is positioned at the front of the property, providing a dedicated space for relaxation. The dining area is centrally located within the living space, situated between the seating area and the kitchen, establishing a connected and social atmosphere.

The modern kitchen features a clean finish and includes several built in appliances. These consist of an oven, a four burner gas stove with an extractor hood, a dishwasher, and a refrigerator with freezer compartment.

A door in the dining area leads to a secondary hallway that provides access to the separate toilet, the bathroom, and the bedroom. The master bedroom is located at the rear of the property and is described as having a pleasant light ingress and an attractive finish.

The fully tiled bathroom has been renovated and contains a walk in shower with rain showerhead and a vanity unit with sink.

Double doors in the living area open to the backyard, which measures 16 square meters with dimensions of 8.37 meters in depth and 1.97 meters in width. The garden is oriented to the east, allowing for morning sun exposure.

The property is located on freehold land (eigen grond), meaning there is no ground lease to consider. The building dates from 1906 and is situated within a protected city or village view area (beschermd stads of dorpsgezicht), which is a designation that recognizes the historical character of the surroundings.

The energy label is rated as C. Heating and hot water are provided by a gas fired combination boiler that is owned by the property.

The property benefits from mechanical ventilation and has a TV cable connection available.

Parking in the area is subject to paid parking and parking permit systems. The listing notes that there are good parking options in the vicinity.

The location in Schiedam city center places residents close to shops, restaurants, and daily amenities. Public transport connections are described as excellent, and major roads are nearby, facilitating travel to Rotterdam and surrounding municipalities. The combination of Schiedam's historical character and proximity to Rotterdam is highlighted as a feature of the location.

The homeowners association (VvE) is currently being established, with an indicative monthly contribution of 100 euros. As the VvE is not yet formally registered, the checklist items such as KvK registration, annual meetings, periodic contributions, reserve fund, maintenance plan, and building insurance all show as not applicable at this time.

The listing specifies that a project notary will be used for the transaction. Given the construction year of 1906, the purchase agreement will include clauses regarding age related issues (ouderdomsclausule), non occupancy (niet bewoningsclausule), and foundation (funderingsclausule). These are standard clauses for older properties in the Netherlands that protect both buyer and seller by acknowledging the inherent characteristics and potential risks associated with buildings of this age.

The delivery date is to be determined through consultation between the parties.

The listing agent, VandeVijver makelaardij, represents the selling party and advises potential buyers to engage their own purchasing agent.

It should be noted that there is an inconsistency in the listing regarding the living area, with 75 square meters stated in the main description and characteristics section, while 51 square meters is mentioned in the special features. Additionally, the special features mention two roof terraces on the east side, though this detail is not elaborated upon elsewhere in the listing description or floor plan information.
