Description
This pleasant and light apartment is situated at Kantbeugel 103 within the Rozenstaete complex. It offers a view over the water and looks out onto the Dwingel. The apartment is located on the first floor and features a pleasant living room, a well-maintained kitchen, two bedrooms, a bathroom, and a lovely balcony with a spacious view. A distinctive feature of this apartment is its indoor entrance. Residents do not need to walk over an external gallery to reach their front door, and the unit is conveniently located close to the lift. This adds a layer of privacy and convenience that is highly valued in apartment living.
The layout of the property includes an entrance hall that houses the meter cupboard, a toilet, and a storage space equipped with a washing machine connection. This arrangement ensures that utility matters are kept neatly out of the main living areas. From the hall, one can access the first bedroom, the bathroom, and the living room. The living room flows seamlessly into the open kitchen, which is fitted with various built-in appliances, making it a functional space for daily living and entertaining. The second bedroom is described as spacious or royal and can be entered either through the living room or via the bathroom. This second bedroom, like the living room, provides access to the balcony. The bathroom itself is equipped with a shower and a sink.
On the ground floor, there is a storage box available for the residents, providing valuable extra space for belongings such as bicycles or seasonal items. The building is accessible via both stairs and a lift, which is a significant advantage for accessibility. The location is practical, with the Vijverhof shopping center and other facilities nearby, ensuring that daily necessities are within easy reach. Regarding costs, there is a contribution to the common room or hall of approximately 15 euros per month, though the general service costs per month are not specified in the text.
The property is classified as a gallery flat or corridor flat and represents existing construction dating back to 1999. Despite being a gallery flat type, the specific indoor entrance mitigates common downsides associated with this building style. It is accessible for people with disabilities and the elderly, confirming its suitability for a wide range of residents. The living area covers 76 square meters, with a balcony covering 6 square meters and an external storage space of 5 square meters. The volume of the apartment is 227 cubic meters. The apartment comprises three rooms in total, which includes two bedrooms. There is one bathroom and one separate toilet. Bathroom facilities include a shower, a toilet, and a sink. The property consists of one residential layer and features exterior sun blinds, a lift, and mechanical ventilation.
In terms of energy, the apartment has an A label, indicating it is fully insulated. This is a notable benefit for a building from 1999, suggesting good energy performance which contributes to lower utility bills and a comfortable indoor climate. Heating is provided by a central heating system and warm water is provided by a central heating boiler and a flow-through boiler. The central heating boiler is an Intergas model, a gas-fired combi-boiler from 2019, which is owned by the property. This relatively new boiler is a significant asset, as it provides reliable heating and hot water without the immediate need for replacement. The cadastral data indicates the property is under full ownership.
The property is located in a residential area. Parking is available via public parking spaces. The Owners Association (VvE) is active and registered with the Chamber of Commerce (KvK). They hold annual meetings, collect periodic contributions, have a reserve fund, a maintenance plan, and building insurance. The presence of a reserve fund and a maintenance plan is reassuring for prospective buyers, as it indicates that the building is well-managed and financially prepared for future maintenance needs. The asking price is 359,000 euros, costs to be paid by the buyer. This results in an asking price per square meter of 4,724 euros. The status of the property is available, and acceptance is in consultation.
Living on the first floor offers a practical height, providing privacy from the street while maintaining easy access. The presence of exterior sun blinds helps regulate the temperature inside during warmer months. The separate toilet in the hall is a practical feature for households. The storage unit on the ground floor adds valuable extra space. The total volume of 227 cubic meters combined with 76 square meters of living space suggests a comfortable ceiling height, contributing to the feeling of space. The fact that the building is accessible for people with a disability suggests wide doorways or other adaptations that make moving through the space easier. The mechanical ventilation system ensures a constant supply of fresh air. The architectural style, combined with the indoor entrance, offers a balance between community living and private retreat. The combination of a water view, a balcony, and an energy-efficient home makes it an attractive option for various potential buyers.
