Characteristic 1930s ground-floor apartment with sunny garden in Professorenbuurt
Key Features
Description
This characteristic ground-floor apartment is located at Korreweg 175 in the Professorenbuurt neighbourhood of Groningen, a well-known area distinguished by its many 1930s properties and distinctive architectural character. The street is currently being redeveloped as a bicycle street but will remain accessible for cars. The neighbourhood offers various amenities around the Floresplein, and the city centre is just a few minutes by bicycle.
The apartment offers approximately 92 square metres of living space and was constructed in 1933. It is situated in a protected cityscape, which means special regulations apply to renovations and alterations to preserve the historical character of the area. The property has been recently updated and is ready for immediate occupation.
Upon entering, you arrive in a hallway with a storm porch. From here you access the charming living room, which features a bay window at the front and an attractive period fireplace, giving the space considerable character. The room offers ample space for both a comfortable seating area and a dining section. Adjacent to the dining area is a neat kitchen that comes equipped with various built-in appliances, including a gas cooker with oven and extractor hood, dishwasher, microwave, refrigerator and freezer. The kitchen provides generous storage space and extends into a practical extension or conservatory, which creates an additional sense of spaciousness and offers pleasant light thanks to a clerestory window. Due to this rear extension, the combined living room and open kitchen together measure approximately 45 square metres. French doors lead directly from the living space to the sunny garden.
The bathroom is also accessible from the living area and is equipped with a vanity unit, a spacious shower and connections for a washing machine and dryer. The two bedrooms are reached from the hallway. The rear bedroom measures approximately 12 square metres, while the front bedroom is approximately 11 square metres and features a convenient built-in wardrobe. The toilet is located in a separate room in the hallway and has been recently renewed.
The rear garden is a particularly notable feature of this property. It forms a pleasant, green space with various seating areas to enjoy outdoor living. Due to its southeast orientation, the garden enjoys sunlight virtually throughout the entire day. The garden also includes two freestanding stone storage sheds and a spacious, attractive covered terrace. The garden is easily accessible via a back entrance.
The apartment is fully equipped with synthetic window frames, which require minimal maintenance and provide good insulation. The bathroom was renewed in 2022. The central heating system is a Remeha gas-fired combination boiler from 2021 and is owned by the current owners. The property has HR glass for improved insulation. Heating is provided by the central heating boiler and a gas fireplace. The property has an energy label D.
The active owners association charges a monthly contribution of 20 euros, which is very reasonable. There is a positive structural foundation report available, which is an important consideration given the age of the property and local soil conditions in Groningen.
The Kadastral information shows two parcels. The outdoor space comprises a garden measuring approximately 16.58 metres deep and 8.45 metres wide.
Parking in the area is available through paid parking, public parking and parking permits.
The location offers excellent accessibility. Multiple bus stops are located along the Korreweg, and by car you can reach the ring road within minutes via the Bedumerweg. For recreation, various small parks are in the vicinity and the Noorderplantsoen is located at the beginning of the Korreweg, offering pleasant walking opportunities.
This property represents an excellent opportunity for those seeking a move-in ready period home with a garden in a characterful neighbourhood with good amenities and accessibility, all within cycling distance of the Groningen city centre.
