Key Features
Description
The property is located at Kerklaan 483 in Capelle aan den IJssel, specifically in the Koperwiek building complex. This is a 3-room apartment situated on the fifth floor of a gallery flat building that was constructed around 1995. The asking price is 300,000 euros, which translates to approximately 4,110 euros per square meter of living space.
The apartment offers 73 square meters of living area, with an additional 5 square meters of balcony space and a 4 square meter private storage box on the second floor. The total volume of the apartment is 241 cubic meters. The property features two bedrooms, making it suitable for couples, small families, or individuals who need a home office space in addition to a bedroom.
Location is one of the notable features of this property. The apartment is positioned directly above shopping center De Koperwiek and adjacent to the Capelle Centrum metro station. This central location means residents have immediate access to public transportation, shopping facilities, and various services. The recently renovated Stadsplein (City Square) is nearby, offering restaurants, event spaces, and a weekly market. Healthcare facilities, sports amenities, recreational areas, and major roads are all within close proximity according to the listing description.
The building is accessible via a closed entrance on the ground floor, equipped with mailboxes, an intercom system, and access to both the stairwell and the elevator. The listing notes that the building is accessible for people with disabilities and elderly residents, which is supported by the presence of the lift installation.
Upon entering the apartment, you arrive in a hallway that provides access to all main rooms. The hallway leads to the living room, bathroom, separate toilet, two bedrooms, and the electrical meter cabinet. The apartment has been finished with laminate flooring throughout, with the exception of the wet areas (bathroom and toilet).
The living room is described as a light space with a free view over the Kerklaan, which the listing describes as always lively. From the living room, there is access to the open kitchen and the balcony. This open layout connects the living and cooking areas in a way that suits modern living preferences.
The kitchen is L-shaped and positioned on the gallery side of the apartment. It comes equipped with various built-in appliances, including an induction cooktop, extractor hood, refrigerator-freezer combination, oven, and a corner carousel cabinet. This means the kitchen is ready for immediate use without the need for additional appliance purchases or installations.
The first bedroom is a good-sized room located at the rear of the apartment, facing the Kerklaan side, and it borders the balcony. This positioning allows for natural light and access to the outdoor space. The second bedroom is situated at the front of the apartment, facing the gallery side. Both rooms are described as having good dimensions.
The bathroom is fully tiled and features a shower cabin with a thermostatic faucet, a sink with a cabinet underneath, a mirror cabinet with lighting, a washing machine connection, and mechanical ventilation. The separate toilet room is also fully tiled and equipped with a wall-hung toilet, a corner sink, and mechanical ventilation. Having a separate toilet is a practical feature that adds convenience when the bathroom is in use.
The balcony is located on the northeast side of the apartment and offers what the listing describes as a lively view, which is characteristic of a central location above a shopping center. Northeast-facing balconies receive morning sun and are generally cooler in the afternoon and evening.
The property includes a private storage box on the second floor of the building, providing additional space for belongings such as bicycles, seasonal items, or storage boxes. Additionally, there is a communal bicycle storage area on the ground floor, which is convenient for residents who cycle.
In terms of energy efficiency, the apartment has been awarded an Energy Label B. The building features roof insulation, double glazing, and wall insulation. The heating and hot water are provided by a Nefit Proline HRC24 gas-fired combination boiler that was installed in 2013. This boiler is owned by the current owner, meaning it will transfer to the new owner as part of the property purchase.
The electrical system has been updated with a renewed distribution board. The windows feature wooden frames with double glazing. The roof is a flat roof covered with bituminous roofing material, which is typical for this type of apartment building from the 1990s.
The Homeowners Association (Vereniging van Eigenaren or VvE) is active and organized. The monthly contribution is 254 euros. According to the checklist provided in the listing, the VvE is registered with the Chamber of Commerce (KvK), holds annual meetings, collects periodic contributions, maintains a reserve fund, has a maintenance plan in place, and has building insurance. These are all indicators of a well-managed building with proper financial planning for future maintenance.
Parking is available through public parking spaces and parking permits, meaning residents will need to arrange their own parking solutions through the municipality.
The listing includes a few important notes for prospective buyers. There is no standard questionnaire and no inventory list of movable goods available. The purchase agreement will include a non-self-occupancy clause (niet zelfbewoningsclausule). This clause typically means the buyer cannot occupy the property as their primary residence and must rent it out instead.
The delivery date is to be negotiated with the seller, with a preference for a short-term handover. The apartment is described as ready to move into without any renovation work required, which the listing refers to as instap-klaar (step-in ready).
Open house viewing times have been scheduled: Monday May 4th between 13:30 and 15:00, Tuesday May 5th between 09:00 and 10:00, and Friday May 8th between 11:00 and 12:00. These viewings can be attended without prior appointment.
In summary, this property offers a centrally located, move-in ready apartment with modern amenities and good accessibility. The proximity to public transport, shopping, and urban facilities makes it particularly appealing for those who value convenience and urban living. The presence of an active and well-organized VvE provides assurance regarding the building's maintenance and financial health.
