Charming Ground Floor Apartment with Souterrain in Wittevrouwen

Located in the vibrant and historic neighborhood of Wittevrouwen in Utrecht, this property at Klaverstraat 54 presents a wonderful opportunity for those seeking a modern home within a classic setting. The history of this area is deeply rooted in the expansion of Utrecht during the mid 19th century. As industries in the city began to emerge and grow, more people sought to settle in and around the urban center. Wittevrouwen, which had served for centuries as the primary vegetable garden for the city, gradually evolved into a bustling and lively suburb around the turn of the century. This period saw significant construction activity, and by the year 1895, the Klaverstraat was officially completed. The architecture in the street appears consistent and repetitive, a common feature of that era, yet not every residence is identical in size. The specific building at numbers 54 and 54 BS holds a special position on a corner. Originally, this location housed a shop on the ground floor with a residence situated above it.

In a major renovation project undertaken in 2020, this former commercial and residential structure was transformed into four separate apartment rights. This conversion brought the building completely up to date with the requirements and standards of the 21st century. The apartment currently on the market is a smartly designed, attractive, and playful residence located in one of the most desirable spots in Wittevrouwen. The appeal of this location is significantly enhanced by the community. The area is populated by sympathetic and friendly neighbors who all share an appreciation for the amenities and the quality of life that the neighborhood provides.

Daily living in this location is defined by convenience and variety. Just a short distance down the street, residents have access to Bakkerij Verhoeff for their daily bread and pastries. On Saturdays, the corner becomes even more lively with a cheese vendor setting up shop. For dining and socializing, the restaurants C'est Ça and Goesting are highly recommended options nearby. If a quick meal is in order, Cafetaria Chi is the place to go, and for dessert or a treat, the famous ice cream from Roberto's is a must try. Wine enthusiasts will appreciate a short walk to the Gouden Glas, where expert advice and a fine selection of wines await. For those willing to explore a little further, the options become so vast that one could almost compile a complete restaurant guide to the area.

The apartment is situated on the side of the building on the ground floor. Because the conversion took place in 2020, the property fully complies with all current building decree requirements. A key feature of this modernization is the excellent insulation, which has earned the property an energy label A. This high energy rating is achieved through roof insulation, double glazing, and floor insulation. During the renovation, the floors and ceilings were renewed, and the electricity, water, and central heating systems were entirely replaced. The central heating is provided by a Remeha boiler installed in 2021, ensuring reliable and efficient heating. The interior design choices reflect a blend of functionality and style, with doors and hardware chosen to match the character of the home. The walls and ceilings are finished with sleek, modern plasterwork. Throughout the entire apartment, the floors are covered with wooden planks, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

The layout of the apartment is both practical and efficient, spread over two living levels with a total of 44 square meters of living space and a volume of 110 cubic meters. The entrance is via a private front door which opens into a hall that also functions as a partially open kitchen. To the left of the entrance, there is a small space that is perfect for a dining table, as well as the meter cupboard. Directly opposite this area is the door leading to the bathroom, which is located at the rear of the property. The bathroom is well equipped with a hanging toilet, a rain shower, connections for a washing machine and dryer, and a luxurious radiator for comfort.

At the front of the apartment lies the open kitchen and living room area. This space is fitted with various built-in appliances, making it a modern hub for daily living. Extending from the kitchen are two sliding doors. One of these doors provides access to the staircase that leads down to the souterrain level, while the other opens into the bedroom. The bedroom is situated at the front of the house and benefits from high windows and a high ceiling, giving it a spacious and airy feel.

The souterrain is a particularly charming and versatile space. It can be used in a variety of ways to suit the needs of the resident, such as a game room, a home office, or even an extra bedroom. The walls in this room have been finished with acoustic plates, which enhance the acoustics of the space. The flooring is made of Jacoba wood, and the ceiling features exposed beams. Because of these beams, the standing height is limited in certain areas, which adds to the cozy and unique character of the room.

The property is available for transfer in consultation. The asking price is 349000 euros costs buyer, which equates to approximately 7932 euros per square meter. The ownership situation is full property rights. The apartment is part of an active Homeowners Association (VvE) which is registered with the Chamber of Commerce. The VvE holds annual meetings and has a maintenance plan in place, as well as building insurance. The monthly contribution for the VvE is 50 euros. It is noted that there is no periodic contribution for maintenance and no reserve fund present. The building is situated on a quiet road within a residential district, combining a peaceful living environment with the dynamic life of Wittevrouwen.
