Key Features
Description
This maisonnette apartment is situated on Korte Heul in the Wester Eng district of Bussum and offers a living experience that combines convenience with pleasant views. The property is located on the first and second floors of a well-maintained residential complex and features a view of the city garden known as Vijverpark.
The living area measures 71 square meters according to the listing, with the NEN 2580 measurement report indicating 72 square meters. The interior volume of the apartment is 223 cubic meters. The building was constructed in 1966 and features a flat roof. The apartment holds an energy label E rating and is equipped with double glazing for insulation.
Upon entering the apartment on the first floor, residents are welcomed by an entrance hall that provides access to the main living areas. A simple yet neat toilet room is located in this entrance area. The living and dining room is described as spacious and bright, benefiting from natural light and the view of Vijverpark. This room connects to a modern half-open kitchen that includes an eating bar, creating a casual dining spot within the kitchen area.
The kitchen is fitted with several built-in appliances to support daily cooking activities. These include a gas cooktop, an oven, an extractor hood, a dishwasher, and a refrigerator. The half-open design allows for interaction between those preparing meals and guests or family members in the living area.
Moving to the second floor, a landing provides access to the bedrooms and bathroom. A storage closet on this landing houses the connections for a washing machine and dryer, keeping laundry appliances neatly out of sight while remaining easily accessible. The layout originally included three bedrooms, though two of these have been combined to create one very spacious bedroom. A second, separate bedroom remains and offers access to the sunny balcony.
The bathroom on this floor is modern in design and features a walk-in shower with a sliding door, as well as a vanity unit with a washbasin. The configuration of one large bedroom and one standard bedroom provides flexibility for different household compositions, whether for a couple, a small family, or someone working from home who needs a dedicated office space.
The balcony is described as sunny, receiving morning to afternoon sun. This outdoor space of 6 square meters offers a pleasant spot to enjoy fresh air and views without leaving the apartment. The building-related outdoor space contributes to the overall livability of the property.
In the basement of the complex, residents have access to a private storage unit. This storage box measures 6 square meters and is noted to be dry, with both electricity and daylight available. Such a space is practical for storing bicycles, seasonal items, or other belongings that might otherwise clutter the living areas.
Parking for residents and visitors is available on the interior grounds of the complex, where spaces can be used freely without a permit system. While the parking is described as public in nature, the listing indicates that free parking is possible within the complex grounds.
The apartment is heated through a block heating system, which is common in apartment buildings of this era. Hot water is provided by a gas water heater (geiser). The monthly advance for heating costs is 62 euros. Residents also pay 150 euros per month in service costs to the homeowners association.
The homeowners association (VvE) appears to be well-organized based on the checklist provided. The association is registered with the Chamber of Commerce, holds annual meetings, collects periodic contributions, maintains a reserve fund, has a maintenance plan (MJOP) in place, and has arranged building insurance. A professional manager oversees the administration, which typically indicates stable and transparent management of the shared areas and responsibilities.
The location of this property is described as central within Bussum. Various amenities are within walking distance, including supermarkets, shops, and sports facilities. The NS station Bussum-Zuid provides public transportation connections for commuters. The center of Bussum with its shops and dining options is also accessible on foot.
For those who enjoy outdoor activities, the Bussummerheide and Fransche Kampheide nature areas are nearby. These heathlands offer opportunities for walking, cycling, and enjoying nature. The combination of urban conveniences and proximity to green spaces is a notable aspect of this location.
The property is offered at a price of 350,000 euros, which is payable by the buyer (kosten koper). This means that additional costs such as transfer tax, notary fees, and possibly mortgage advisory costs are not included in the listed price and are the responsibility of the purchaser.
The asking price per square meter is approximately 4,930 euros based on the 71 square meter figure, or around 4,861 euros when using the 72 square meter NEN measurement. The acceptance date is to be agreed upon, allowing for some flexibility in the transaction timeline.
The apartment is classified as a maisonnette, which refers to an apartment spread over two floors within a larger building. This type of dwelling offers some of the spatial qualities of a house, such as separation between living and sleeping areas across different levels, while maintaining the convenience and shared maintenance aspects of apartment living.
The listing notes that the property has four rooms in total, with two of these being bedrooms. This count reflects the original layout where the current large bedroom was divided into two separate rooms. Potential buyers who prefer three bedrooms could potentially reinstate the original partition, subject to any applicable building regulations and VvE approval.
Connectivity within the apartment includes fiber optic cable and TV cable, supporting modern entertainment and internet needs. The building features double glazing throughout, which provides better insulation than single panes and contributes to energy efficiency, though the E energy label indicates there may be room for further insulation improvements.
This maisonnette presents itself as a move-in ready home that has been modernized while retaining its functional layout. The combination of a central location, views of greenery, practical amenities such as the basement storage and balcony, and an active homeowners association makes this a property that warrants consideration for those seeking apartment living in Bussum.
