Ready-to-move-in corner apartment with lift and sunny balcony in Bussum-Zuid
Key Features
Description
This well-presented three-room corner apartment is situated on the third floor of a residential building in the peaceful Bussum-Zuid district, offering residents views across the surrounding green environment. The corner location of the apartment results in an exceptional amount of natural light entering the living spaces, thanks in part to an additional side window in the living room that most standard apartments in this building do not have.
The apartment spans approximately 85 square meters of living space and comprises two generously sized bedrooms, making it suitable for a variety of buyers including couples, small families, or those seeking a home office setup. Both bedrooms are accessible from the central hallway and share comparable dimensions, meaning either room could comfortably serve as the primary bedroom depending on the buyer's preferences.
The heart of the home is the bright and spacious living room, which orients itself toward three sides of the building's exterior, providing views and natural light from multiple directions throughout the day. The living room stands in direct connection with the largest balcony, which faces west and southwest. This balcony was installed with a new electric sun awning in 2025, operated by remote control, allowing residents to control shade and comfort as needed during warmer periods.
The kitchen is modern and neatly finished, offering ample storage solutions and sufficient workspace for everyday cooking needs. An electric water heater, owned by the current owners, provides hot water supply. The bathroom has been modernized and features a walk-in shower, a vanity unit with integrated sink, and connections for a washing machine and dryer. A separate toilet room completes the sanitary facilities.
Residents enter the building through a secured entrance with mailboxes and a parcel box system. The building is equipped with an elevator installation, making the third-floor location easily accessible for all residents. Additionally, a storage unit in the basement level is included with the apartment.
Parking is available for one vehicle on the private terrain of the residential complex, addressing a common concern for residents in this area.
The monthly contribution to the owners' association amounts to 403 euros, which covers the maintenance of common areas, building insurance, and contribution to the reserve fund. An annual meeting of the owners' association takes place, and a maintenance plan has been established. The active owners' association contributes to the proper upkeep of the property.
The apartment is heated via central block heating, with a monthly advance payment of 59 euros for heating costs. The property holds an energy label C, indicating reasonable energy performance. The building features double glazing throughout and wall insulation.
The layout provides practical separation between the sleeping quarters and living areas. The entrance area includes a video intercom system and meter cupboard. From the hallway, access is gained to both bedrooms, the kitchen, and the bathroom facilities. The second bedroom also connects to the smaller second balcony, providing additional outdoor space and cross-ventilation options.
This property represents a complete package for those seeking a move-in ready home in a quiet residential neighborhood, with modern appointments, practical layout, and desirable extras such as the lift, storage, and private parking. The corner position and orientation of the living spaces maximize light exposure and outdoor enjoyment throughout much of the day.

Classic
Building is from 1966 (bestaande bouw), which is relatively old. However, interior has been modernized, so classic styling is not prominent.
Exterior Style
Traditional / Historic
The building was constructed in 1966, which is post-war period. While the Gooi region has some traditional Dutch architecture, this specific portiekflat from 1966 does not represent a traditional or historic style. It has modern finishes but the building style is functional/post-war.
Early 20th Century
The building was constructed in 1966, which is well after the early 20th century period (1900-1930s). Early 20th century Dutch homes are typically referred to as 'jaren-30 woningen'. This building does not apply.
Post-War Functional
The building was constructed in 1966, which falls in the post-war period (WWII ended 1945). It is a 'portiekflat' - a typical mass-produced functional apartment building style common in post-war Dutch urban development to address housing shortages. This matches the description of post-war functional architecture.
Modernist
While the apartment has modern finishes (modern kitchen, modern bathroom, new sunshade in 2025), the building itself was constructed in 1966 as a functional post-war portiekflat. The overall building style is not primarily modernist in architectural intent, though some elements may align.
Newly Built
The building was constructed in 1966, nearly 60 years ago. It is clearly not newly built. The listing is labeled 'Nieuw' (New) on the platform, but this likely refers to the listing status, not the construction date. The building age is explicitly stated as 1966.
Kitchen
Shared Kitchen
This is a private apartment, not a shared housing unit, so a shared kitchen is not applicable.
Designer Kitchen
The kitchen is described as modern and neat, but not explicitly referred to as a 'design kitchen'.
New Kitchen
The kitchen is described as modern, but the exact age is not specified; it may be relatively recent but not definitively new.

Automatic Garage Door
No garage exists on the property, so an automatic garage door is not applicable.
Double Garage
No garage exists on the property.
Attic
This is a portiekflat (corridor flat) built in 1966 with 4 residential floors; no attic is mentioned in the layout, description, or specifications.
Cellar
No cellar is mentioned. While there is a storage room in the underbuilding (onderbouw), a cellar is not mentioned as a feature.

The parking is described as 'op eigen terrein' with no mention of underground parking. Combined with the mention of storage in the 'onderbouw', underground parking is not indicated.
Workshop
No workshop is mentioned anywhere in the listing description or specifications.
