Description
This modern and well-maintained three-room apartment is situated on one of the most attractive streets in the popular Nijmegen-Oost district. The property is located on the first residential floor and offers a comfortable living space of 67 square meters, complemented by a full-width balcony, two bedrooms, and the notable advantage of a private garage with an additional parking space in front of it.
The location of this apartment is particularly appealing. Nijmegen-Oost is a sought-after neighborhood known for its pleasant atmosphere, diverse hospitality venues, specialty shops, and green surroundings. Residents here enjoy the benefit of quiet living just outside the bustling city center, while still having easy access to urban conveniences. The Waal river, the Ooijpolder nature area, and various main roads are all within short distance, making this an excellent base for both relaxation and commuting.
Upon entering the building through the central entrance, you will find a bell panel, intercom system, mailboxes, a staircase, and a shared storage area on the ground floor. The apartment itself is reached via the internal staircase to the first floor.
The hallway provides access to all rooms in the apartment. From this central point, you can reach the living areas, bedrooms, bathroom, toilet, and the practical storage closet. The layout has been thoughtfully designed to maximize the available space and create a natural flow throughout the home.
The living room is located at the front of the apartment and benefits from windows spanning nearly the entire width of the facade. This design feature allows an abundance of natural daylight to enter the space and provides a pleasant view of the characteristic buildings on the opposite side of the street. The sunny balcony is accessible through sliding doors and faces southeast, which means you can enjoy the morning and afternoon sun throughout much of the day. The full-width design of the balcony makes it a generous outdoor space that extends the living area during warmer months.
The open kitchen forms the heart of the home and features a cooking island with a small bar area. This setup creates an informal and social atmosphere where cooking and conversing naturally come together. The kitchen is equipped with various built-in appliances, including a five-burner cooktop, a refrigerator-freezer combination, and recently installed appliances consisting of a combi-oven, dishwasher, and extractor hood. These recent additions ensure that the kitchen meets contemporary standards for convenience and functionality.
Throughout the apartment, an attractive oak parquet floor has been installed, providing a warm and cohesive appearance that continues into almost all rooms. This flooring choice contributes to the well-maintained and stylish character of the interior.
At the quiet rear side of the apartment, two spacious bedrooms are situated. This placement ensures that these rooms benefit from a peaceful environment, away from any street noise. Both bedrooms offer ample space for a double bed and additional furniture, making them suitable for various living arrangements, whether for a couple, a small family, or someone working from home who needs a separate office space.
The bathroom is neatly finished and features a walk-in shower and a double sink vanity unit. The presence of two sinks adds a practical element for shared use. Additionally, there is a separate toilet room equipped with a small sink, which enhances daily convenience as it can be used independently from the bathroom.
A practical storage closet houses the central heating boiler and provides connections for a washing machine. This arrangement keeps laundry appliances out of sight while ensuring easy access when needed. The central heating system is a Remeha combi-boiler from 2014, which is owned rather than rented, eliminating ongoing rental costs for this essential system.
One of the most distinctive features of this apartment is the private parking situation. Through the central entrance, you can reach the garage in the basement internally, which offers protection from weather and additional security for your vehicle. In front of the garage, there is an additional private parking space, bringing the total to two private parking places behind the closed gate. In a city where parking is often a challenge and expensive, this is a significant advantage that adds considerable practical value to the property.
The external storage space measures 17 square meters and is located in the basement area, accessible through the internal route from the main entrance. This provides ample room for storing bicycles, seasonal items, sports equipment, or other belongings that you prefer not to keep inside the apartment.
The building dates from 1982 and is classified as a portiekflat, which is a common apartment type in Dutch urban areas featuring a shared entrance and staircase. The roof construction consists of a composite roof covered with bituminous roofing material and tiles.
The property holds an energy label B, indicating a relatively efficient level of energy consumption for a building of this age. Mechanical ventilation is installed, contributing to good indoor air quality throughout the apartment. The building is also connected to a fiber optic cable and has TV cable connections available.
The Homeowners Association, known in Dutch as Vereniging van Eigenaren or VvE, is described as active and healthy. The monthly contribution is 300 euros, which covers the shared costs of building maintenance and management. The VvE is properly registered with the Chamber of Commerce, holds annual meetings, maintains a reserve fund, has an established maintenance plan, and has arranged building insurance. These elements indicate a well-organized association that takes its responsibilities seriously, which provides peace of mind for current and future owners.
The apartment is offered at an asking price of 385,000 euros, which translates to approximately 5,746 euros per square meter of living space. The transfer is available by mutual agreement, allowing flexibility in the moving date.
This property presents a compelling combination of a well-maintained interior, a highly desirable location, and the rare convenience of two private parking spaces in a central urban setting. The apartment is move-in ready, meaning that new owners can settle in immediately without the need for renovations or significant improvements. The balance between the peaceful residential environment and the proximity to the vibrant city center makes this a versatile home suitable for various lifestyles.
