Bright and Spacious Apartment with Renovated Loggia and Stunning Open Views
Key Features
Description
Welcome to this bright and generously proportioned apartment located in the Spainkbos area of Apeldoorn. Situated at Loolaan 41-97, this property offers a wonderful combination of comfort, convenience, and an excellent location within walking distance of the vibrant city center. With a living area of 70 square meters, this apartment provides ample space for comfortable living while maintaining a practical and efficient layout that makes the most of every square meter.
The apartment is located on the seventh floor of a well maintained complex that was originally built in 1973. The building has undergone significant modernization in recent years, including the renewal of balconies and the creation of loggias equipped with sliding panels. The insulation of the entire complex has also been improved, contributing to better energy efficiency and overall comfort for residents.
Upon entering the apartment through the central hall, you are immediately struck by the light and inviting atmosphere that permeates the entire space. The layout has been thoughtfully designed to ensure a natural flow between rooms while maximizing the sense of openness and space.
The kitchen is situated at the front of the apartment and comes fully equipped with a range of built-in appliances. Whether you enjoy preparing elaborate meals for friends and family or prefer quick and simple cooking, this kitchen provides everything you need in a functional and pleasant setting.
Moving through the hallway, you will find the bathroom and a separate toilet. The bathroom features a modern walk-in shower and a practical vanity unit with storage space. Having the toilet separate from the main bathroom adds convenience, especially when multiple people are using the facilities. The toilet is accessible from both the hallway and the bathroom area, which adds to the practical usability of the space.
The bedroom is generously sized and connects directly to the bathroom for easy access. One of the standout features of the bedroom is the sliding door that opens directly onto the loggia. This recently renovated loggia faces northeast and provides a sheltered and cozy outdoor space where you can enjoy the fresh air. It is the perfect spot for a quiet morning coffee or a relaxing evening tea. The northeast orientation ensures you receive pleasant morning sunlight without the intensity of afternoon heat, making it comfortable throughout the day.
The living room is the true heart of this apartment. It is remarkably spacious and features large windows that flood the room with natural light. The abundance of glass creates a bright and airy atmosphere that makes the space feel even larger than its actual dimensions. One of the most appealing aspects of the living room is the free and unobstructed view. Instead of looking out onto neighboring walls or busy streets, you can enjoy a peaceful and open outlook over the surrounding area. The neutral finish of the living room provides a blank canvas, allowing you to decorate and furnish the space entirely according to your own taste and preferences.
The building is equipped with a lift, which is a significant advantage for residents. This makes the apartment easily accessible for elderly individuals or anyone with mobility concerns. Carrying groceries or moving furniture becomes effortless when you have the convenience of an elevator at your disposal.
The complex offers an impressive array of shared amenities that enhance the living experience. On the top floor, there is a recreation room where regular activities and social events are organized for residents. This provides wonderful opportunities to meet neighbors and participate in community life. Additionally, the building features a library and a billiard table for residents to enjoy. For those who like to stay active, there is a fitness room within the complex. The building also offers guest rooms that can be rented on a nightly basis, which is incredibly convenient when friends or family come to visit and need a place to stay.
The location of this apartment is truly exceptional. Within just a few minutes of walking, you find yourself in the heart of Apeldoorn's bustling city center. Here you have access to a wide range of amenities including supermarkets, specialty shops, restaurants, cafes, and various entertainment venues. The renowned Orpheus theater is also within easy walking distance, offering a rich program of cultural performances and events throughout the year. Despite being so close to all the action, the apartment itself remains a peaceful and quiet retreat where you can relax and unwind after a busy day.
The property also includes external storage space in the form of a storage box equipped with electricity. Parking is available on the enclosed premises, providing secure and convenient vehicle storage for residents.
In terms of energy features, the apartment currently holds an F energy label. However, improvements have been made including the installation of HR glass and wall insulation. Heating is provided through a block heating system, while hot water is supplied by an electric boiler.
The monthly service charges amount to a total of 654 euros, which consists of two components. The first part is 336 euros for the owners' contribution, which covers heating costs, boiler usage, water supply, building insurance, window cleaning services, a portion of the renovation costs, general maintenance, and other communal expenses. The second component is 318 euros per month for the financing of the energy savings loan that was taken out for the recent improvements to the complex.
The Homeowners Association, known as the VvE in the Netherlands, is well organized and professionally managed. It is properly registered with the Chamber of Commerce. The association holds annual meetings, collects periodic contributions from all owners, maintains a reserve fund for future maintenance and repairs, has an established maintenance plan, and carries adequate building insurance. All of these factors contribute to the long term stability and proper management of the building.
The apartment is being offered partially furnished and is available for occupancy upon mutual agreement. The asking price is 175,000 euros, with the buyer responsible for the usual acquisition costs. This translates to approximately 2,500 euros per square meter of living space, which represents competitive value for a property in this location with these amenities.
This apartment is ideally suited for a wide range of buyers. First time buyers will appreciate the manageable size and turnkey condition, while seniors will value the elevator access, single floor layout, and proximity to all essential services. The combination of a well designed interior, excellent communal facilities, and a prime location near the city center makes this property an attractive opportunity in the Apeldoorn real estate market.
