Renovated Apartment with Roof Terrace in Groningen

This renovated apartment is situated on the first floor at Korreweg 39-A in the Professorenbuurt neighborhood of Groningen. The property offers approximately 65 to 66 square meters of living space and features a roof terrace of 17 square meters. With two spacious bedrooms and an energy label A, this apartment presents itself as a suitable option for first-time buyers entering the housing market.

The apartment is located in the Korrewegwijk, a lively and mixed urban district positioned to the northeast of the city center. This neighborhood is characterized by its recognizable historical city architecture dating from the early twentieth century. The Korreweg itself provides access to all necessary daily amenities within close proximity. Public transportation connections and the Noorderplantsoen park are both reachable within a few minutes on foot, making the location practical for daily life.

Access to the apartment is through a shared entrance that leads to the staircase ascending to the first floor. Upon reaching the first floor landing, the front door of the apartment is located. Inside, the hallway measuring 3.6 square meters provides access to the various rooms in the property. The hallway connects directly to both bedrooms as well as the bathroom and living area.

The two bedrooms measure 15 square meters and 11 square meters respectively, offering adequate space for sleeping and storage. From the front-facing bedroom, an additional space of 5 square meters can be reached, which can serve as a walk-in closet or a home office depending on the preferences of the new owner. This flexible space adds practical functionality to the bedroom area.

The living room spans 21.3 square meters and features an open kitchen layout. The kitchen is equipped with built-in appliances, providing the essential facilities for meal preparation. Adjacent to the kitchen, a utility room of 3 square meters offers additional storage space for household items and practical purposes. This configuration keeps the main living area organized and clutter-free.

From both the living room and the open kitchen, access is provided to the roof terrace. This outdoor space measures 17 square meters and was recently renewed. The terrace faces southeast, which means it benefits from morning and afternoon sunlight throughout the day. This makes it a pleasant space for outdoor relaxation during warmer months.

The modern bathroom is accessible from the hallway and covers 4 square meters. The listing describes it as modern, though specific fixtures are not detailed in the provided information.

The building was originally constructed in 1915, placing it within the building period of 1906 to 1930 as indicated in the property characteristics. Despite its age, the apartment has been upgraded to meet current energy standards. It holds an energy label A, which indicates a high level of energy efficiency. The property features double glazing, HR glass, and wall insulation. Part of the window frames have been replaced with plastic frames fitted with HR glass, contributing to the improved insulation. The roof is a hipped roof covered with tiles.

In 2022, major exterior maintenance was carried out on the building. The heating and hot water are provided by a gas-fired combination boiler, specifically an Intergas HRE model installed in 2022 and owned by the current owner. Natural ventilation is present in the property.

The property is offered at a price of 245,000 euros costs to the buyer. This translates to approximately 3,769 euros per square meter of living space. The total volume of the apartment is 271 cubic meters.

There are several important legal and practical aspects to consider with this property. The Owners Association, known in Dutch as VvE, is currently not active but is in the process of being established. This means that at present there is no KvK registration, no annual meeting, no periodic contribution, no reserve fund, no maintenance plan, and no building insurance arranged through a VvE. Prospective buyers should factor in the future establishment of this association and potential associated costs.

Additionally, the property still needs to be officially split legally. This is a process that will need to be completed as part of the transaction. A project notary has been designated for this purpose, meaning the buyer will need to use the specified notary for the purchase.

Several standard clauses apply to this purchase. A non-owner occupancy clause is in effect, which is relevant for investors or buyers who do not intend to occupy the property themselves. A standard deposit arrangement applies, as does an age clause given the building dates from 1915. The age clause protects the seller from liability for defects that could reasonably be expected in a building of this age.

Parking in the area consists of paid parking and parking permit systems, meaning residents will need to arrange and pay for parking permits if they own a vehicle. The apartment is situated on a busy road within a residential area, which prospective buyers should consider in terms of noise levels and traffic.

The property is classified as an intermediate floor apartment, located on the second living level in Dutch counting convention. It consists of one residential level with three rooms in total, of which two are bedrooms. The cadastral reference is GRONINGEN A 10406, and the property is offered as full ownership.

The transfer of the property is negotiable regarding timing, though the listing notes that a quick transfer is possible. The apartment is described as move-in ready, suggesting that no major renovations or repairs are required before occupancy.

In summary, this apartment on Korreweg offers a combination of historical character with modern energy efficiency standards. The renovated interior, the presence of a southeast-facing roof terrace, and the proximity to urban amenities and green spaces make it a property worth considering for those seeking a home in the Groningen area.
