Spacious Three-Bedroom Apartment with Two Balconies and Private Parking
Key Features
Upsides
- Three full-sized bedrooms, which is unusual for apartments and provides flexibility for families, home workers, or shared living arrangements.
- Private parking space included in the closed garage, eliminating the common challenge of finding parking in urban Eindhoven.
- Two balconons with a total of 14 square meters of outdoor space, both offering green views and a peaceful atmosphere.
- Seventh-floor location with lift access provides privacy, reduced street noise, and unobstructed views while remaining easily accessible.
- Well-organized homeowners association with reserve fund, maintenance plan, and building insurance in place.
Downsides
- The monthly service costs of 458 euros are relatively high and will add significantly to the ongoing housing expenses.
- Energy label D indicates below-average energy efficiency, which may result in higher energy bills and could require future insulation upgrades.
- The building dates from 1978, meaning some systems and finishes may be approaching the end of their useful life despite any updates.
- Block heating provides less individual control over heating costs and temperature settings compared to a personal heating system.
- The seventh-floor location, while offering views, may not appeal to everyone, particularly those with concerns about height or potential elevator dependence.

A lift installation provides convenient access to all floors, ensuring that the seventh-floor location remains easily accessible for residents of all ages and mobility levels.
Upon entering the apartment, you are welcomed by a generous hallway that serves as the central hub of the home.

The apartment benefits from two balconons in total, with a combined area of 14 square meters. This means there is always a spot to find either sun or shade depending on the time of day and your personal preference. Both balconons offer views of the green surroundings and the quiet residential environment.
Parking is often a concern in urban areas, but this apartment includes a private parking space in the closed garage beneath the building. Additionally, there is sufficient free parking available for visitors at the front of the building. The property also includes a shared bicycle storage area and a private storage room of approximately 6 square meters located on the first floor, providing valuable additional space for belongings.

The WoenselXL shopping center and Catharina Hospital are also conveniently close by.
The city center, the main train station, and various arterial roads are all easily accessible by car, bicycle, and public transport, making this location practical for commuters and those who enjoy urban amenities.
The building is managed by an active homeowners association that is registered with the Chamber of Commerce. The association holds annual meetings, collects periodic contributions, maintains a reserve fund, has a maintenance plan in place, and has arranged building insurance. The monthly service costs amount to 458 euros.
