Corner Apartment with Attic and Balcony in Delfzijl

Located on the third floor of the apartment complex named the Julianaflat, this property is situated in the Scheepvaartbuurt district of Delfzijl. The address is Koningin Julianalaan 49-B. This residence is a corner apartment which comes with the advantage of having windows on multiple sides, allowing for a pleasant amount of natural light throughout the day. The apartment offers a practical and functional layout suitable for various types of residents, from individuals to couples or small families. One of the key characteristics of this home is the presence of two balconies, one at the front and one at the rear, as well as a very spacious attic floor. Additionally, there is a private storage unit available in the souterrain of the building.

The living area of the apartment is sixty-eight square meters. Upon entering the apartment, one reaches the central entrance hall. From this hall, almost all rooms in the house are accessible. The hall provides access to the living room, the kitchen, the bedrooms, and the staircase to the attic. The living room is a bright and inviting space. A notable feature of the living room is the surprisingly beautiful and free view it offers over the Koningin Julianalaan. This view ensures a connection with the surroundings while maintaining a sense of privacy from the street level. The front of the apartment features a balcony which is directly accessible from the living room. This outdoor space allows residents to enjoy the morning sun or simply sit outside and observe the neighborhood activity.

The kitchen is situated adjacent to the living area and is accessible through the central hall or directly depending on the specific flow of the layout. The kitchen is equipped with sufficient cupboard space, providing ample room for storage of kitchen essentials and groceries. It is a practical space that caters to daily cooking needs. From the kitchen, there is access to the bathroom. The bathroom is fully tiled, which makes it easy to clean and maintain. It is fitted with a shower, a fixed washbasin furniture, and a design radiator. The design radiator serves both a functional and aesthetic purpose, ensuring the room is warm while adding a modern touch to the interior. Similar to the living room, the bathroom also provides access to outdoor space via the rear balcony. This rear balcony is accessible from the bathroom, offering a private spot to enjoy fresh air away from the main street.

The sleeping quarters in this apartment consist of two bedrooms. Both bedrooms are located at the rear of the apartment. This positioning is advantageous as it ensures a quiet and peaceful environment for sleeping, shielded from the noise of the main road. The rooms are situated on the main living floor. However, the property offers a significant extension of the living space through the presence of a very large attic. The attic is accessible via a loft staircase, known as a vlizotrap, which is located in the central hall of the apartment.

The attic space is remarkably generous. It covers a floor area of approximately forty square meters. Currently, this space serves as a storage area where residents can store items that are not needed on a daily basis. This helps in keeping the main living areas clutter-free and organized. The vertical height and the floor area of the attic are such that it presents a great opportunity for renovation. The listing indicates that creating an extra sleeping room or multiple rooms is certainly a possibility. This flexibility allows the new owners to adapt the house to their specific needs, whether that involves creating a home office, a guest room, or an enlarged master suite. The attic features dormer windows, which bring in natural light, although the frames of these dormer windows are not plastic like the rest of the apartment.

In addition to the internal storage in the attic, the apartment comes with an external storage facility. There is a storage unit located in the souterrain of the apartment complex. This is an inpandige storage space, meaning it is within the main building structure but separate from the living quarters. This is ideal for storing bicycles, gardening tools, or seasonal items such as holiday decorations or winter sports equipment.

The apartment is part of an active and well managed Homeowners Association, known in Dutch as a Vereniging van Eigenaren or VvE. The VvE is registered with the Chamber of Commerce and holds annual meetings. There is a periodic contribution that owners must pay, which currently amounts to one hundred and twenty euros per month. This contribution covers the costs of maintenance and insurance for the communal areas. The VvE has a reserve fund in place, which is important for future major repairs or maintenance works. There is also a maintenance plan available, indicating that the association is organized and proactive about the upkeep of the building. The building is insured against fire and other risks via an opstalverzekering.

The technical condition of the apartment is generally good. The heating and hot water are provided by a central heating boiler, specifically an Intergas Kombi Kompakt HRE combi boiler. This boiler was installed in 2016 and is owned by the current seller, meaning it does not need to be rented. The property is largely fitted with plastic window frames and doors. These are low maintenance and provide good insulation. The glass used is HR+++ glass, which is a high quality insulation glass that helps to keep energy costs low and improves the indoor climate. The listing notes that aside from the front door and the dormer windows on the attic floor, the entire apartment benefits from these plastic frames and insulating glass. The roof of the complex is a cross roof covered with tiles, a standard and durable construction for this type of building.

The location of the apartment is described as ideal. It is situated in a residential neighborhood, yet it is close to various amenities. For daily groceries, there is a small scale shopping center located on the Jachtlaan, which is just around the corner. For more extensive shopping and dining options, the city center of Delfzijl is easily accessible. The larger shopping center offers a wide diversity of shops and hospitality establishments. The area is also well suited for families, as schools are within easy reach. Sports enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to sports fields. Furthermore, the location is unique in its proximity to the sea harbor and the beach. The presence of the sea harbor and the beach nearby offers opportunities for recreation and walks. Public transport connections are also available in the direct vicinity, making it easy to travel to other parts of the region without a car. Parking around the building is available as public parking on the street.

The property is offered with a status of available. The asking price is one hundred sixty nine thousand five hundred euros, costs to be paid by the buyer, known in Dutch as kosten koper. The price per square meter of living space is approximately two thousand four hundred ninety three euros. The delivery of the property and the transfer of ownership will take place in consultation, allowing the seller and buyer to agree on a suitable date. The energy label for the property is not available at this time, but the presence of double glazing and a relatively modern boiler suggests that the property scores reasonably well in terms of energy efficiency.

In summary, this apartment on the Koningin Julianalaan offers a solid mix of living space and storage potential. The two bedrooms provide the basic accommodation needs, while the massive attic of forty square meters offers a unique selling point that allows the future owner to expand the living space to their liking. The dual balconies add to the livability, offering views and outdoor space at different times of the day. The location in Delfzijl combines the quietness of a residential area with the convenience of nearby shops, schools, and nature. The active VvE ensures that the building is well maintained, giving the new owner peace of mind. This property represents a practical opportunity for those looking to buy an apartment with room for growth in a well connected part of Delfzijl.
