Key Features
Description
The property at Koningsweg 31-D presents a ground floor apartment situated in the Het Zand neighborhood of Den Bosch. Built in 1910, the building holds monument status, which denotes its architectural and historical significance. The asking price stands at €727,000, presented on a costs to buyer basis (kosten koper), meaning the buyer is responsible for transfer taxes and notary fees in addition to the purchase price.
The interior spans 102 square meters of living space. Beyond the main living areas, there is 14 square meters of additional indoor space, which refers to the basement with standing height. An external storage area of 9 square meters is available, located in the wooden outbuilding in the garden. The total volume of the apartment reaches 401 cubic meters.
The accommodation comprises three rooms in total, with two designated as bedrooms. A single bathroom features a walk-in shower and washbasin, with the toilet situated separately. The entire apartment occupies a single floor level, specifically the ground floor of the building.
The architectural character of the interior reflects its early 20th century origins. High ceilings adorned with ornamental plasterwork create a sense of spaciousness and period authenticity. The living room follows an en-suite configuration, a layout common in grander homes of this era, where two adjoining rooms can be separated by folding doors. Large windows feature throughout, maximizing natural light ingress. Original fireplaces have been retained, contributing to the historical ambiance. The flooring consists of parquet, adding warmth and character to the spaces.
The kitchen is described as modern and comprehensively equipped. The kitchen has an open character, facilitating interaction with guests or family members in the adjacent dining area during meal preparation.
Both bedrooms benefit from direct garden access through doors, enabling a seamless transition between interior and exterior spaces. This arrangement is particularly appreciated during warmer months and contributes to the connection with the outdoor environment.
The bathroom contains essential facilities of a walk-in shower and washbasin, representing a practical modern installation within the period property. The separate toilet location allows for simultaneous use of facilities by multiple occupants.
The basement, with its standing height, offers valuable supplementary space. Such basements in period properties typically serve for storage purposes, though the usable height in this case suggests potential for other applications.
A significant feature of this property is the recently constructed outbuilding positioned at the rear of the garden. This structure serves multiple functions, incorporating a storage area and providing rear access to the property. The listing specifically highlights its suitability as a home office, study space, or exercise area. For those working from home, this arrangement offers a distinct separation between domestic and professional environments without the need to leave the premises. Bicycle parking is conveniently accommodated within this structure.
The garden faces southwest, an orientation that maximizes afternoon and evening sunlight exposure. Described as spacious (riant), it functions as an extension of the living space, particularly during favorable weather conditions. The presence of the outbuilding at the far end of the garden creates a defined outdoor room while maintaining privacy.
Energy efficiency measures include partial double glazing, HR (high-efficiency) glass in certain windows, and secondary glazing (voorzetramen) fitted to other windows. These measures contribute to the C energy label rating. Heating and domestic hot water are supplied by an Intergas HR Kompact combination boiler installed in 2012. This boiler operates on natural gas and is owned outright by the current proprietor, eliminating any rental obligations for the purchaser.
The roof structure combines bituminous waterproofing with traditional tile covering. Recent renovation work on the roofing has been completed through the homeowners association.
The property falls under the management of an active Vereniging van Eigenaren (VvE), the Dutch equivalent of a homeowners association. This VvE maintains registration with the Chamber of Commerce, holds annual general meetings, and has established a maintenance plan. Building structural insurance is in place. The monthly VvE contribution amounts to €38. The listing indicates the absence of a reserve fund, which prospective buyers may wish to consider in their financial planning.
The external facade at the front of the building received fresh paint in the preceding year, as part of the VvE maintenance program.
Location represents a key attribute of this property. Koningsweg positions the apartment at the periphery of the Den Bosch city center. The central shopping and dining district lies within comfortable walking distance. The main railway station is similarly accessible on foot, facilitating regional and national rail connections. Major road arteries providing access to surrounding areas are nearby.
Parking arrangements involve the municipal paid parking system, supplemented by the availability of residential parking permits. The listing indicates that obtaining a 24-hour permit is readily achievable in this area.
The Bossche Broek, a notable nature reserve adjacent to the city, offers immediate opportunities for walking and recreation. This juxtaposition of urban convenience and natural landscape access characterizes the location.
The architectural designation as a monument carries implications for the property. Such status typically provides protection against inappropriate alterations to the exterior and significant interior features, helping to preserve the historical character of both the individual property and the broader streetscape. Monument status may also confer eligibility for certain tax benefits or subsidies related to maintenance and restoration work, though specific applicable schemes should be verified with local authorities.
The asking price per square meter of living space calculates to approximately €7,127, based on the 102 square meter figure. Prospective purchasers may wish to compare this metric against similar properties in the Den Bosch central area to assess relative value.
The property is offered with acceptance in consultation (in overleg), indicating flexibility regarding the transfer date and allowing for negotiation on timing to suit both parties circumstances.
The cadastral designation identifies the property within the S-HERTOGENBOSCH I section, reference number 2157, with full ownership (volle eigendom) status confirmed.
The heating system, while functional with its 2012 installation date, represents equipment approaching its typical expected service life. Prospective buyers may wish to factor potential boiler replacement into their medium-term maintenance budgeting.
