Studio with south-facing rooftop terrace near Breda center

This studio apartment is situated on Jan Nieuwenhuyzenstraat in the Boeimeer district of Breda. The property is located just outside the singels of Breda, which means it is positioned near the historic ring of canals and fortifications that define the inner city boundary. Despite being outside this ring, the apartment is within walking distance of the city center, making it convenient for accessing shops, restaurants, cultural venues, and other urban amenities that Breda has to offer. The studio is located on the sixth floor of a gallery flat building that was constructed around 1958. Access to the apartment is provided by an elevator, which is a practical feature for a property situated on this level. The building falls under the category of existing construction and represents a typical post-war residential development from the late 1950s period. The living area of the studio measures approximately 30 square meters. This space includes a living room area that has been finished with laminate flooring. The living room also features fixed wardrobes, which provide useful storage space within the compact living area. From the living room, there is direct access to the rooftop terrace. The kitchen within the studio has a simple or basic setup, described in Dutch as having an eenvoudige inrichting. This indicates that the kitchen facilities are functional but may be basic and could potentially benefit from modernization depending on the preferences and requirements of a future owner. The bathroom is equipped with a shower, a toilet, and a washbasin. These are the essential sanitary facilities needed for daily living in a studio apartment. One of the notable features of this property is the rooftop terrace, which measures approximately 20 square meters. This outdoor space faces south, which is advantageous as it means the terrace receives sunlight throughout the day during the warmer months. The terrace offers views over Breda-Zuid, the southern part of the city, providing an elevated perspective of the surrounding area. Having a private outdoor space of this size is a significant asset for a studio apartment, as it effectively extends the usable living area and provides a place for outdoor relaxation, dining, or gardening. In addition to the living space and terrace, the property includes a storage unit located in the basement of the building. This storage space measures approximately 6 square meters, providing room for storing items that would otherwise take up valuable space in the studio itself, such as seasonal items, bicycles, or sports equipment. The total volume of the apartment is stated as 100 cubic meters. The asking price is 200,000 euros, which is stated as costs koper, meaning that the buyer is responsible for the transaction costs associated with purchasing the property, such as the transfer tax and notary fees. Based on the living area and asking price, the price per square meter works out to approximately 6,667 euros. Regarding the energy performance of the property, it has been assigned an energy label of F. This indicates that the property has relatively poor energy efficiency. The building has been fitted with double glazing, which provides some improvement over single glazing in terms of insulation and energy retention. However, the overall energy rating suggests that there may be limited insulation in other areas of the building envelope, such as the walls, roof, and floor. The heating for the apartment is provided through a block heating system, known in Dutch as blokverwarming. This is a centralized heating system typically found in apartment buildings from this era, where heat is generated centrally and distributed to individual units. The monthly service charges for the homeowners association, referred to as VvE kosten in Dutch, amount to 194.03 euros per month. This amount includes an advance payment for heating costs, which means that the actual heating consumption is settled through this monthly payment, likely with an annual reconciliation. The VvE checklist provided in the listing indicates several points that potential buyers should be aware of. According to the checklist, the homeowners association is not registered with the Chamber of Commerce, there is no annual general meeting held, no periodic contribution is collected separately from the service charges, there is no reserve fund present, there is no maintenance plan in place, and there is no building insurance arranged through the VvE. These points suggest that the homeowners association may not be formally organized in accordance with current best practices for residential property management in the Netherlands. Prospective buyers may wish to inquire further about the status and organization of the VvE and what this means for the maintenance and management of the building. Parking at the location is described as paid parking with the availability of parking permits. This means that residents would need to obtain a parking permit or pay for parking on the street or in nearby parking facilities. The property is offered with full ownership, known in Dutch as volle eigendom, which means that the buyer acquires complete ownership of the apartment unit. The cadaster reference for the property is BREDA D 9029. The transfer date is to be determined by mutual agreement, as indicated by the term in overleg. The property is currently listed as available on the housing market. Open house viewing times have been scheduled, providing interested parties with the opportunity to view the studio in person. The scheduled viewing moments are on Thursday April 9 from 16:00 to 17:00 and Monday April 13 from 16:00 to 17:00, with additional dates mentioned as being available. The Boeimeer neighborhood where the property is located is a residential area in the southern part of Breda. The location offers a balance between proximity to the city center and a quieter residential environment. The fact that the apartment is situated on the sixth floor means that it is elevated above street level, which can provide a sense of privacy and reduced street noise compared to ground floor apartments. The south-facing terrace position is particularly desirable as it maximizes exposure to sunlight. In summary, this studio apartment offers a compact living space with the notable advantage of a spacious south-facing rooftop terrace. The property includes practical features such as an elevator, basement storage, and fixed wardrobes. The energy label and the VvE checklist items are aspects that potential buyers should consider carefully when evaluating this property. The location near the Breda singels and within walking distance of the center provides good accessibility to urban amenities.
