Renovated Souterrain Apartment in Popular Nijmegen-Oost
Key Features
Description
This property is a souterrain apartment situated in a characteristic building dating back to the 19th century, specifically around 1896. The apartment is located at Jacob Canisstraat 32 in the Altrade area of Nijmegen. The building retains its historical appearance while the apartment itself has undergone a complete and comprehensive renovation in the period 2025/2026. This renovation focused on improving comfort, finishing quality, and sustainability.
The apartment has a living area of approximately 65 square meters and contains two rooms, one of which is designated as a bedroom. The total volume of the space measures 226 cubic meters. The property has been awarded energy label C, which reflects the improvements made during the renovation process.
Access to the apartment is through a shared entrance on the ground floor, which then leads down to the souterrain level where the apartment is situated. Upon entering the apartment, you arrive in the hall where the meter cupboard is located. From this central point, you can access both the kitchen and the living room areas.
The kitchen has been designed to provide ample workspace and is equipped with various built-in appliances. These include a Boretti oven and stove, an extraction hood, a refrigerator, a dishwasher, and a close-in boiler for hot water. The presence of a Boretti appliance suggests attention to quality in the kitchen fit-out.
The living room serves as the main living area and provides access to the bedroom, which is located at the rear of the apartment. The layout connects the living spaces in a logical flow. From the living room, you can also access the outdoor area through sliding doors.
The bedroom is positioned at the back of the apartment, which ensures a quiet location away from the street side. This placement contributes to a peaceful sleeping environment.
The bathroom has been finished with floor heating and includes a walk-in shower, a sink, and a connection point for a washing machine. Both the bathroom and the separate toilet are equipped with a central mechanical ventilation system to ensure proper air circulation. The toilet is located separately from the bathroom, accessible from the hall, which is a practical layout feature.
At the rear of the building, there is a private outdoor area that provides a quiet setting away from the street. This outdoor space faces west, meaning it receives afternoon and evening sunlight. The garden area measures 16 square meters with dimensions of 4 meters in depth and 4 meters in width. The garden has been finished with stylish slate flooring. Access to this outdoor area is possible through sliding doors from both the living room and the bathroom, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection.
The location in Nijmegen-Oost is a significant feature of this property. The apartment is within walking distance of shops, supermarkets, cafes, and restaurants. Nijmegen-Oost is known for its vibrant and convenient living environment. The specific position of this apartment at the rear of the building means residents can enjoy the benefits of this central location while experiencing a quiet living environment.
Regarding sustainability and energy efficiency, the apartment has been improved with HR++ double glazing installed in 2026. The roof has been insulated. The heating is provided by a central heating boiler, which is a high-efficiency combination boiler that was installed on February 12, 2019. This boiler is gas-fired and owned by the property. Hot water is supplied through the central heating boiler, supplemented by the close-in boiler in the kitchen.
The property is part of a very small homeowners association that is self-managed. The monthly contribution is approximately 90 euros. According to the VvE checklist provided, the association is not registered with the Chamber of Commerce, does not hold annual meetings, does not collect periodic contributions formally, has no reserve fund, has no maintenance plan, and has no building insurance. This indicates a very informal arrangement, likely because there are only two apartments in the building sharing the main utilities.
The utilities situation is notable: water, gas, and electricity are measured through individual sub-meters, but the main connection is shared with one other apartment in the building. This means residents will need to settle utility costs with the neighbor based on the sub-meter readings.
Parking in the area is regulated through paid parking and parking permit systems. There is no dedicated parking space included with the apartment.
The seller has indicated that special conditions and clauses apply to this sale, including an age clause, an asbestos clause, and a non-occupancy clause. Given the age of the building from 1896, such clauses are standard practice for older properties in the Netherlands.
The property is available for acceptance on short notice or immediately, which may appeal to buyers looking to move quickly.
The asking price is 300,000 euros, which translates to approximately 4,615 euros per square meter of living space. The price is stated as costs buyer, meaning the buyer is responsible for transfer taxes and notary fees in addition to the purchase price.
The roof of the building is a flat roof covered with bituminous roofing material. The property has both mechanical and natural ventilation options. The apartment is situated on one living level, the souterrain, which means there are no stairs within the apartment itself, though there are steps down from the ground floor entrance.
The cadastral designation for this property is NIJMEGEN B 6417, and the property is held in full ownership.
