Modern apartment with balcony near Lange Voort shopping center

Located on Lijtweg 405 in the Zeeheldenbuurt neighborhood of Oegstgeest, this apartment offers modern living in a well-connected location. The property is situated within an apartment complex that was originally built in 1965, yet the interior has been thoughtfully updated to meet contemporary standards.

Upon entering the building, residents are welcomed by a central entrance area equipped with mailboxes and an intercom system. The building provides access to the upper floors via both an elevator and a staircase, ensuring convenience for all residents regardless of mobility considerations.

The apartment itself is accessed through a private entrance that provides direct access to all rooms within the living space. The layout has been designed to maximize the available 41 square meters of living area. Upon entering, the bright living room is positioned directly to the right, creating an immediate sense of openness and light. The living area flows seamlessly into the open kitchen, which was completely renovated in 2023.

The modern kitchen features an induction cooktop, an extractor hood, an oven, and a refrigerator-freezer combination. The kitchen design incorporates a practical separate utility area adjacent to the main cooking space. This additional area houses the dishwasher and an extra sink, providing valuable workspace and keeping the main kitchen area uncluttered.

From the living room, residents have direct access to the balcony, which measures 4 square meters. This outdoor space offers a pleasant spot to enjoy fresh air and provides views over the surrounding area. The balcony serves as an extension of the living space during warmer months.

The bedroom is positioned adjacent to the living room and offers adequate space for a comfortable sleeping arrangement along with standard bedroom furniture. The room benefits from natural light and maintains a peaceful atmosphere.

The bathroom, also renovated in 2023, is located on the left side of the entrance hall. This modern bathroom features a sink cabinet, a toilet, and a walk-in shower. The fixtures and finishes reflect current design trends and provide a clean, functional space.

The property is heated through a block heating system, which is a common arrangement in apartment buildings of this era. Hot water is provided through a central supply system. The windows feature double glazing, contributing to the energy efficiency of the home. The current energy label is D, which is typical for buildings from this construction period.

The location of this apartment is one of its most notable features. Situated directly next to the Lange Voort shopping center, residents have immediate access to a wide range of daily necessities. The shopping center houses multiple supermarkets, various retail stores, restaurants, and a library, all within walking distance of the apartment complex.

Major roads providing access to surrounding cities including Amsterdam and The Hague are also readily accessible. For those who prefer public transportation, bus stops are located directly in front of the building, offering regular services to various destinations.

The apartment is part of an active homeowners association (VvE) that is properly registered with the Chamber of Commerce. The VvE conducts annual meetings, collects periodic contributions, maintains a reserve fund, has an established maintenance plan, and holds building insurance. The monthly VvE contribution is 286.17 euros, which covers the shared building expenses and contributes to the reserve fund for future maintenance projects.

Parking in the area is provided through public parking facilities. The property is situated on a quiet road while simultaneously being in a central location, offering residents the benefit of a peaceful living environment without sacrificing convenience.

The apartment is offered at a price of 250,000 euros, which translates to approximately 6,098 euros per square meter of living space. The property is available for transfer in consultation, allowing flexibility in the moving date. The legal transfer will be handled as a full ownership transaction (volle eigendom) with the costs borne by the buyer (kosten koper).

This property presents an opportunity for those seeking a compact, modernized apartment in a location that prioritizes convenience and accessibility. The recent renovations to the kitchen and bathroom mean that new owners can move in without immediate renovation concerns, while the active VvE with proper governance structures provides assurance regarding the long-term maintenance of the building.
