Spacious and Energy-Efficient Apartment in the Heart of Oss Center
Key Features
Upsides
- Energy label A with comprehensive insulation (roof, walls, floor, double glazing) ensures low energy costs and comfortable living conditions throughout the year.
- Prime central location in Oss with all amenities including shops, supermarkets, restaurants, and public transport within walking distance, eliminating the need for a car for daily errands.
- Spacious 110 m² living area plus 10 m² internal storage, which is above average for apartments and provides ample room for various living arrangements and storage needs.
- Recently renovated in 2020 with a new kitchen, bathroom, and toilet, meaning these key spaces feature modern fixtures and finishes with minimal wear.
- Owned Remeha combination boiler from 2020, avoiding ongoing rental costs that are common with many apartment properties in the Netherlands.
Downsides
- No private outdoor space such as a balcony or terrace is mentioned, which limits options for outdoor seating or gardening that many apartment seekers desire.
- The VvE lacks a formal maintenance plan and does not have building insurance arranged through the association, which could pose risks or lead to unexpected special assessments in the future.
- The price per square meter of approximately 3,864 euros is relatively high for the Oss market, particularly for a gallery flat without outdoor space.
- As a gallery flat on the second floor, the property may have limited privacy compared to other apartment types, with common walkways potentially adjacent to windows.
- Bicycle storage is only available in a shared facility rather than private or secure individual storage, which may be a concern for residents with valuable bicycles.
Description
Kruisstraat 50A in Oss presents a generously proportioned apartment situated directly in the vibrant center of the city. This property offers the rare combination of a central urban location with the comfort and space typically associated with suburban living. With a total living area of 110 square meters, this apartment provides ample room for comfortable daily living, whether for a couple, a small family, or individuals who require additional space for a home office or hobby room.
The building at Kruisstraat was originally constructed in 1990 and served as an office building for many years. In 2020, the property underwent a comprehensive transformation from commercial space to residential accommodation. During this conversion, the entire apartment was adapted to meet contemporary residential standards and expectations. The kitchen, bathroom, and toilet were all newly installed in 2020, meaning that future residents will benefit from modern sanitary fixtures, contemporary materials, and a fresh overall appearance throughout these key spaces.
The living room forms the heart of the apartment and offers generous dimensions that allow for multiple furniture arrangements. There is sufficient space to create a comfortable seating area as well as a sizeable dining section, making the room suitable for both relaxed evenings at home and dinner parties with friends and family. The practical layout and the substantial floor area contribute to a light and open atmosphere in the living space. Natural ventilation is possible, and the apartment is also equipped with a mechanical ventilation system to ensure good air quality throughout the year.
The apartment features two well proportioned bedrooms. Both rooms offer enough space for standard bedroom furniture including a double bed, wardrobes, and bedside tables. The presence of two bedrooms makes the property versatile and suitable for various household compositions. One of the bedrooms could alternatively serve as a dedicated home office space, a guest room, or a hobby room, depending on the specific needs and preferences of the residents.
The bathroom, installed during the 2020 renovation, is equipped with a walk in shower, a washbasin, and a vanity unit. The separate toilet adds convenience for daily use, particularly in households with multiple occupants. The modern fixtures and finishes in these spaces reflect the quality of the recent renovation work and contribute to the overall move in ready condition of the apartment.
In addition to the living area and bedrooms, the apartment includes an internal storage space of approximately 10 square meters. This storage room provides valuable additional space for storing seasonal items, luggage, sports equipment, or household appliances that are not needed on a daily basis. For bicycle storage, there is a shared bicycle parking facility available to residents of the building.
The energy performance of the property is notably good, as evidenced by the energy label A. This rating indicates that the apartment meets high standards of energy efficiency, which translates to lower energy costs for the residents and a comfortable indoor climate throughout the year. The building benefits from comprehensive insulation measures including roof insulation, wall insulation, floor insulation, and double glazing. The heating and hot water are provided by a Remeha gas fired combination boiler that was installed in 2020 and is owned by the property, eliminating the need for a separate boiler rental contract.
The apartment is located on the second floor of the building and is classified as a gallery flat. The flat roof is covered with bituminous roofing material. The property is delivered furnished, which may be convenient for buyers who are looking for a turnkey solution without the need to purchase and transport furniture.
The location of Kruisstraat 50A is one of its most notable features. Situated in the center of Oss, the apartment is surrounded by a wide range of amenities including shops, restaurants and cafes, supermarkets, and public transportation options. Residents can easily run daily errands on foot, enjoy a drink on a terrace, or visit cultural venues without depending on a car. This central location offers an urban lifestyle with everything the city of Oss has to offer literally around the corner.
The property is part of a homeowners association that is properly registered with the Chamber of Commerce. The association holds annual meetings and collects a monthly contribution of 145 euros per apartment. A reserve fund is maintained, which is important for funding future maintenance projects. However, it should be noted that the association does not currently have a formal maintenance plan in place, and there is no building insurance arranged through the association. These are points that prospective buyers may wish to inquire about during the purchasing process.
The asking price for the apartment is set at 425,000 euros, which is subject to buyer costs. This results in a price per square meter of approximately 3,864 euros based on the 110 square meters of living space. The property is offered with full ownership rights, as confirmed by the cadastral registration showing two parcels both with full ownership status.
Kruisstraat 50A offers a combination of space, modern finishes, energy efficiency, and a prime central location. The 2020 conversion and renovation have resulted in an apartment that meets current residential standards and is ready for immediate occupancy. The property is suitable for buyers who value urban living and wish to be close to all conveniences that the center of Oss provides, without compromising on the comfort of a spacious and well appointed home.
