Key Features
Upsides
- Central location within walking distance of the train station, shops, restaurants, and other urban amenities makes daily life convenient without requiring a car for routine activities.
- Private parking space included in the underground garage, which is a significant advantage in a central location where public parking typically requires permits and payment.
- Energy label A rating with full insulation indicates low energy costs and a comfortable indoor climate throughout the year.
- Canal views from both the kitchen and the west-facing balcony provide pleasant outlooks and natural light in the main living spaces.
- The property was built in 2010 and is described as well-maintained, with air conditioning in all bedrooms and the workroom for year-round comfort.
Downsides
- The asking price of 795,000 euros results in a price per square meter of approximately 5,196 euros, which is relatively high for the Bussum area.
- The property spans three floors connected by stairs, which may not be suitable for individuals with mobility limitations or those who prefer single-level living.
- There is no private garden or ground-level outdoor space, only an 8 square meter balcony, which may be insufficient for households with children or those who enjoy gardening.
- The third bedroom is located on the ground floor and described as a workroom, which may not provide the same privacy or spatial arrangement as having all bedrooms on the same floor.
- Monthly service costs of over 83 euros apply for the VvE contributions, which is an ongoing expense in addition to mortgage and utility costs.
Description
This canal house is situated in the center of Bussum, offering residents immediate access to a variety of urban amenities. The property is located within walking distance of the Naarden-Bussum train station, which provides convenient connections to surrounding cities. The immediate vicinity includes shops, restaurants, a cinema, and other central facilities that contribute to a practical and comfortable lifestyle for those who value proximity to services.
The building was constructed in 2010, which means it benefits from relatively modern building standards compared to older properties in the area. The total living area measures 153 square meters, distributed across three floors. The property has an energy label A rating, indicating a high level of energy efficiency. The insulation is described as comprehensive throughout the structure, which contributes to lower energy costs and improved comfort during both warm and cold seasons.
The ground floor entrance leads to a hallway with a high ceiling, creating an immediate sense of space. On this level, there is a room at the front of the house that can serve as either a workroom or bedroom. This room is equipped with an air conditioning unit that also provides heating functionality, making it a usable space throughout the year. Adjacent to this area is a utility room containing the central heating boiler and connections for a washing machine and dryer. A separate toilet with a washbasin is also located on the ground floor.
The rear of the ground floor houses a spacious dining kitchen with large windows overlooking the Bussumervaart canal. The kitchen is arranged in an L-shape and includes various built-in appliances. The generous window dimensions allow significant natural light to enter the space, and the view directly onto the canal adds a distinctive character to this room.
The first floor serves as the main living area. This floor features windows on two sides, ensuring consistent natural light throughout the day. The flooring consists of bamboo parquet, which provides a warm and natural appearance. At the canal side, there are sliding doors opening onto a balcony measuring 8 square meters. The balcony faces west, which means it receives afternoon and evening sun. An electric sun awning has been installed to provide shade when needed. From the balcony, there is a view across to the Nieuwe Englaan on the opposite side of the canal.
The living room includes a pre-existing connection for a wood-burning stove, offering the possibility for additional heating and atmospheric comfort during colder months. At the street-facing side of the living area, a small pantry has been incorporated into a corner, providing a convenient location for preparing coffee and tea without needing to go to the main kitchen.
The second floor is reached via an open staircase. This level contains two bedrooms, both of which are equipped with air conditioning units that can also heat the rooms. A separate toilet with washbasin and a complete bathroom are also located on this floor. The bathroom includes a bathtub, a separate walk-in shower, and a vanity unit. The flooring on this level also consists of bamboo parquet, maintaining consistency with the living floor below.
A notable feature of this property is the inclusion of a private parking space in the underground parking garage beneath the building. In central locations such as this, private parking is often difficult to obtain and represents a significant practical advantage. Additionally, there is a separate bicycle storage area in the same garage, measuring 22 square meters according to the property specifications.
The property is subject to a Homeowners Association (Vereniging van Eigenaars) for both the residential units and the parking garage. The listing indicates that both associations are financially healthy and active. The total monthly service costs amount to 83.48 euros, broken down as 39.77 euros for the residential portion and 43.71 euros for the parking space.
The sale includes an ERA Guarantee, which provides the buyer with a one-year warranty starting from the date of notarial transfer. This warranty covers visible piping, sanitary fixtures, visible electrical installations, and kitchen built-in appliances. Such a guarantee offers additional security for the buyer regarding the condition of these essential building components.
The heating system consists of a high-efficiency gas combination boiler (HR ketel) from 2010, which is included in the sale as owned property. The property also features mechanical ventilation, contributing to good air quality throughout the home. A fiberglass cable connection is available, ensuring modern telecommunications infrastructure.
The roof construction is described as a composite roof covered with bituminous roofing material and tiles. The property is classified as a mid-terrace house (tussenwoning) within the canal house category. The total volume of the building is 566 cubic meters according to the official measurements.
The cadastral designation is BUSSUM B 6418, with full ownership status. The asking price is 795,000 euros, which translates to approximately 5,196 euros per square meter of living space. The property is available and the transfer terms are described as negotiable.
The location on a quiet road alongside the water, combined with the central position within a residential neighborhood, offers a balance between tranquility and accessibility. The listing notes that the surrounding area generally requires paid parking and permits, which further emphasizes the value of the included private parking space.
This property presents itself as a well-maintained home suited for buyers who prioritize quality, comfort, and a central location with all amenities within easy reach. The combination of modern construction, energy efficiency, canal views, and private parking makes this a distinctive offering in the Bussum housing market.
