Charming Move-in Ready 3-Room Apartment with Garage on Prime Location

The apartment is located at Korte Brinkweg 29 in Soestdijk, part of the municipality of Soest. It is situated in a small-scale apartment complex called Beversstein. The location is described as one of the most popular locations in Soest, offering both a central position and a sheltered, quiet atmosphere. The apartment overlooks the shopping street, meaning all amenities are close by. Additionally, the Eempolder, Soester Duinen, and Baarnse Bos are nearby.

The apartment is located on the top residential floor, the third floor, and can be reached via both stairs and a lift. Inside, there is abundant natural light. The apartment was completely modernized in 2019, making it move-in ready. It has new flooring and neatly finished walls.

The living room features a stained-glass door with a niche and an electric fireplace. The windows have triple glazing, ensuring it is quiet inside. The kitchen was renovated in 2019 and is an L-shaped kitchen equipped with various built-in appliances and has a neat finish. There is a door from the kitchen to the sunny balcony.

A notable feature is the balcony, which offers a view of the adjacent square. Despite the central location, there is sufficient privacy. The balcony is set back into the building, allowing one to enjoy the outdoors even on rainy days. The balcony faces south.

The apartment has two bedrooms, both located at the rear of the apartment and varying in size. The master bedroom has a spacious wardrobe wall. The second bedroom also has a wardrobe wall with connections for a washing machine and dryer.

The bathroom features a walk-in shower, a sink with vanity unit, a mirror cabinet, and two additional cabinets. The separate toilet is accessible from the hallway and was also renovated.

A significant advantage is the spacious garage measuring 34 square meters in the basement. It has an electric door with remote control and offers space for parking a car. This means the car stays dry during winter months. The garage also has a separate pedestrian door, making it suitable for storing bicycles if one wants to use the garage for other purposes. There is also additional storage space at the rear. An additional parking space is available in front of the garage.

The apartment complex has a secured entrance. It is equipped with both stairs and a lift, increasing accessibility. A video intercom system provides additional security.

The location in Soestdijk offers a combination of urban convenience and natural surroundings. Soestdijk is known for its charming character and its proximity to larger cities like Utrecht, Amersfoort, and Hilversum. The area around Korte Brinkweg is particularly sought after because of its central position within the village. Residents can enjoy the shops, restaurants, and cafes that are literally around the corner. The weekly Thursday market adds to the lively atmosphere of the area. For daily groceries, a large supermarket is less than two minutes away on foot.

For those who appreciate nature and outdoor activities, the surrounding area is exceptional. The Soester Duinen offer beautiful walking and cycling routes through sandy dunes and forests. Landgoed Pijnenburg is a historic estate with beautiful parklands. The Baarnse Bos is another popular nature area for recreation. The Eem polder area provides a different kind of landscape with its open meadows and waterways. All these natural areas are within easy reach.

Public transport connections are excellent. The NS station offers direct connections to Utrecht Centraal, which is one of the main railway hubs in the Netherlands. This makes commuting to Utrecht or further afield convenient. The bus station provides direct connections to Amersfoort and Hilversum, expanding the range of accessible destinations. For those who prefer to travel by car, the access roads to the A1, A27, and A28 motorways are easily reachable.

Being on the third floor means there are no neighbors above, which contributes to a quiet living environment. The combination of triple glazing in the living room and kitchen further enhances the peacefulness of the apartment. The lift makes the apartment accessible for everyone, including elderly residents or those with mobility considerations.

The modernization carried out in 2019 has given the apartment a contemporary feel. The choice of materials and finishes appears to be of good quality. The L-shaped kitchen layout is practical and provides ample workspace. The inclusion of various built-in appliances means the kitchen is fully functional from day one.

The south-facing balcony is a significant asset. South-facing outdoor spaces are desirable because they receive the most sunlight throughout the day. The fact that the balcony is set back into the building is an unusual and practical feature. This design means that even when it rains, residents can still sit outside and enjoy the view without getting wet. The electrically operated sun blinds on both the living room and kitchen windows provide protection from strong sunlight when needed, allowing residents to control the indoor temperature and comfort.

The sleeping quarters are located at the rear of the apartment, which is typically quieter than the street-facing side. The presence of wardrobe walls in both bedrooms is practical and eliminates the need for freestanding wardrobes. Having the washing machine and dryer connections in the second bedroom is a clever use of space that keeps the laundry facilities out of the living areas.

Having a separate toilet is more hygienic and practical than a combined bathroom and toilet, especially in a two-bedroom apartment where multiple residents might need to use the facilities simultaneously.

The garage is a standout feature of this apartment. At 34 square meters, it is generously proportioned and can accommodate a car with ease. The electric door with remote control adds convenience, especially during inclement weather. The presence of a separate pedestrian door means the garage can also be used primarily for storage or bicycle parking if the resident does not own a car or prefers to park elsewhere.

The VvE, or Homeowners Association, appears to be well-organized based on the information provided. The fact that it is registered with the KvK, holds annual meetings, has a reserve fund, a maintenance plan, and building insurance indicates responsible management. The monthly contribution of 306.46 euros includes the maintenance of common areas and the building structure. Prospective buyers should request the VvE documentation to review the financial health of the association and any planned major maintenance works.

The building type is described as a galerijflat, which means it is a gallery apartment. This type of building typically features an external gallery or corridor that provides access to the apartments. Gallery flats often have the advantage of more natural light in the common areas and can feel more open.

The 1960 construction year places this building in the post-war reconstruction period of the Netherlands. Buildings from this era were often constructed with good quality materials and solid foundations, though energy efficiency standards were much lower than current requirements. The presence of a flat roof is typical for apartment buildings of this period.

The heating system is described as block heating, which is a centralized heating system where heat is generated in a central boiler room and distributed to individual apartments. This system can be efficient as it avoids the need for individual boilers in each apartment, but it also means residents have less individual control over their heating and are dependent on the VvE for maintenance of the central system. Hot water is provided through an electric boiler, which is separate from the heating system.

The fiber optic cable and TV cable connections mentioned in the features indicate that the building has been updated to accommodate modern communication and entertainment needs. This is an important consideration for potential buyers who require fast internet connections for work or leisure purposes.

The mention of free view from the location description suggests that the apartment enjoys unobstructed views, likely over the shopping street and the adjacent square. This contributes to the sense of space and connection to the neighborhood.

The fact that the listing mentions both public parking and parking on the property indicates that parking is generally not a problem in this area. This is an important consideration in village and city centers where parking can sometimes be challenging. Having the option to park in the garage, in front of the garage, or on public streets provides flexibility.

The energy label F indicates that the apartment energy efficiency is relatively low, which is not uncommon for a building from 1960. However, the installation of triple glazing in parts of the apartment suggests that some energy-saving measures have been implemented. Buyers should factor in potential future energy improvement costs when considering their offer.

The requirement to use Notariaat Eemmeer for the transfer is noted in the listing. This is a common practice in the Netherlands where the selling party often specifies a preferred notary. The asking price is 492,500 euros costs koper, which translates to approximately 7,138 euros per square meter of living space. While this price per square meter is a useful benchmark, potential buyers should also consider the value of the garage and storage space, which add practical value to the property.
