Spacious corner apartment on top floor with basement and two balconies

Located on Koningin Julianalaan in Katwijk, this spacious corner apartment is situated on the second floor, which is also the top floor of a well-maintained apartment complex built in 1961. The property offers a living area of approximately 117 square meters, which is considerable for an apartment of this type. The corner position on the top floor provides additional privacy, a sense of openness, and abundant natural light throughout the day.

The entrance to the building is through a closed door with an intercom system. From there, stairs lead to the second floor where the apartment is located, as well as to the basement below. The main living area is accessed via a spacious hallway that provides entry to all rooms in the apartment.

The living room is positioned at the front of the apartment and offers a clear view of the green area opposite the building. Thanks to the corner location and large windows, the room benefits from pleasant light conditions and a spacious feel. From the living room, there is access to the west-facing balcony of approximately 6 square meters, where one can enjoy the afternoon and evening sun.

At the rear of the apartment are the kitchen and two bedrooms. Both the kitchen and the bedrooms have access to the east-facing balcony, also approximately 6 square meters, which is ideal for catching the morning sun. The kitchen is neatly finished and equipped with sufficient cabinet space and built-in appliances.

The apartment has a separate toilet and a bathroom with a shower and sink. Through a closet with a fixed staircase in the living room, the attic floor is accessible. While there is no standing height in this attic space, it provides practical extra storage space. A skylight allows for daylight and ventilation. The central heating boiler for the apartment (Intergas Combi-Kompakt HRE, 2019) is also located here.

A notable feature of this property is the basement or souterrain, which distinguishes it from many other apartments. At the front of the basement is an extra room that can serve as a hobby space, workspace, or storage area. At the rear is a practical space with a kitchen unit, a shower area, connections for a washing machine and dryer, and a separate central heating boiler (Intergas HR, 2001). This rear section of the basement is also accessible via a back door. Additionally, the apartment has a separate storage room for extra storage, such as for a bicycle.

The property has double glazing in part of the windows. The energy label is G, which indicates that the energy efficiency of the building is at the lower end of the scale. This is common for buildings from the 1960s that have not undergone comprehensive energy renovation.

The active homeowners association (VvE) charges a monthly contribution of 150 euros. The VvE is registered with the Chamber of Commerce, holds annual meetings, has a reserve fund, and has building insurance. However, there is no maintenance plan in place. Parking is available in the public area around the building and possibly on the rear grounds of the VvE.

The location of the apartment is described as ideal. It is situated opposite a green area and within walking distance of the Bosplein shopping center. The beach, dunes, and main roads are also within easy reach. This makes the location attractive for those who want to live near the coast while having good access to amenities and transportation.

The seller offers the property in its current condition as seen during viewings. No guarantees are given. The purchase agreement will include a non-occupancy clause, an age clause, and an asbestos clause. The presence of these clauses indicates that the buyer should be aware of the age of the building and the potential presence of asbestos, which was commonly used in construction during the 1960s.

The property was previously rented out, which may be relevant for buyers considering it as an investment. The delivery date can be agreed upon and can take place quickly if desired.

The asking price is 435,000 euros, which translates to approximately 3,686 euros per square meter based on the listed living area of 118 square meters. This price is for the buyer to pay the transfer costs (kosten koper), meaning that additional costs such as the transfer tax, notary fees, and any mortgage advisory costs will be borne by the buyer.

In summary, this apartment offers a generous amount of living space for its type, enhanced by the unusual feature of a basement with additional rooms and facilities. The two balconons on different sides of the building allow for sun exposure throughout the day. The location near the coast and amenities adds to the appeal of the property. Potential buyers should consider the energy label and the clauses in the purchase agreement, which reflect the age of the building.
