Historic Upper Floor Apartment in Central Arnhem

This property is an upper floor apartment located in a highly central position in Arnhem. The building is situated on the border of four distinct neighborhoods: Arnhem city center, the fashion district known as the mode kwartier, the unique Klarendal area, and the historic Spijkerkwartier. This location provides residents with all necessary amenities within walking distance, making it a convenient place to live for those who appreciate urban living with easy access to shops, restaurants, and cultural facilities.

The apartment itself is located on the second floor of a historic building that dates back to the beginning of the previous century, with construction recorded as before 1906. The building contains a total of five residential units, all managed by an active homeowners association. The exterior and interior maintenance of the complex has been kept in excellent condition, which speaks to the care taken by both the individual owners and the collective association.

Access to the apartment is via a shared entrance on the ground floor. From there, a staircase leads up to the second floor where the apartment is situated. Upon entering the apartment, you arrive at a hallway that provides access to the various rooms on this level. The hallway connects to a separate toilet room, the kitchen, and the living room. The bathroom on this floor is equipped with a washbasin and a shower.

The kitchen is fitted with essential appliances including an extractor hood, a four-burner gas stove, and a refrigerator. While the kitchen is functional, it offers a new owner the opportunity to personalize the space according to their own preferences and needs. The living room provides the main living area on this floor and receives natural light through the windows.

The upper level of the apartment is reached via an internal staircase. This floor features a landing with a washbasin and a connection for a washing machine, making laundry convenient within the home. There are two bedrooms on this floor, providing suitable accommodation for a single person, a couple, or could serve as a home office space alongside a bedroom.

The total living area of the apartment measures 62 square meters. Additionally, there is an external storage unit of 2 square meters, which is accessible via the shared courtyard. This storage space is useful for keeping items that do not need to be stored inside the living quarters, such as bicycles, gardening tools, or seasonal items.

One of the notable features of this property is the shared enclosed courtyard that belongs to the complex. This outdoor space is lockable and provides a pleasant area that can be used by the residents of the five units. Having access to outdoor space is a valuable asset for apartment living, especially in a central urban location.

The property benefits from good insulation measures. The apartment has double glazing throughout, as well as roof insulation and wall insulation. These insulation features contribute to energy efficiency and comfort within the home. The energy label of the property is rated as D.

Heating and hot water are provided by a central heating boiler. The current boiler is a Remeha combi boiler that was installed in 2021, meaning it is relatively new and should provide reliable service for years to come. The boiler is owned by the property owner rather than rented.

The electrical installation consists of four circuit groups with two earth leakage switches, which is a standard setup for a property of this size and age.

The homeowners association is well organized and active. Monthly contributions to the VvE amount to 125 euros. The association is properly registered with the Chamber of Commerce, holds annual meetings, maintains a reserve fund, has a maintenance plan in place, and has arranged building insurance. These are all positive indicators of a responsibly managed building.

Parking in the area is regulated, and it is possible to apply for a parking permit. This is common in central urban areas and provides a solution for residents who own a vehicle.

The surrounding area offers a wide range of facilities and attractions. The apartment is very favorably located with regard to shops, schools, and public transportation. The Sonsbeekpark, one of Arnhem's most beloved green spaces, is within comfortable walking distance. Public transport connections are nearby, and the vibrant city center with its various restaurants and cafes is easily accessible on foot.

For those who travel by car, the Apeldoornseweg is just around the corner, providing quick access to the A12 and A50 motorways. This also makes it convenient to reach natural areas such as the Posbank and the Veluwe region for recreational purposes.

The property is offered at an asking price of 289,000 euros, which translates to approximately 4,661 euros per square meter of living space. The transfer is via a full ownership situation, and the delivery terms are negotiable, with the possibility of a quick transfer if desired.

This apartment represents an opportunity to create a personal living space in a historic part of Arnhem. The combination of a central location, a well maintained building with an active homeowners association, and the character of a historic property makes this a distinctive offering in the Arnhem housing market. The property is suitable for buyers who value urban convenience and are looking for a home that they can make their own in a location that offers both the vibrancy of city life and proximity to nature.
