Historic Parsonage Apartment with Water Views in Wormerveer
Key Features
Upsides
- Impressive high ceilings with visible roof rafters create a spacious feeling that exceeds the actual 41 m² footprint, adding significant architectural character to the apartment.
- The elevated second-floor position provides a free view over water with passing ships, offering a dynamic and peaceful outlook that enhances the living experience.
- Complete underfloor heating throughout the apartment ensures even temperature distribution and eliminates the need for wall-mounted radiators, contributing to both comfort and interior aesthetics.
- The central heating boiler (Intergas Kombi Kompakt) was installed in 2022 and is included in the purchase, providing a modern and reliable heating system with expected long service life.
- The apartment is fully finished and move-in ready, with careful and stylish interior completion that allows for immediate occupancy without renovation work.
Downsides
- The living area of 41 m² is relatively small, which may limit suitability for couples or those requiring additional space for a home office or guest accommodation.
- The VvE is still being established with no determined monthly contribution, no reserve fund, no maintenance plan, and no KVK registration, creating uncertainty about future financial obligations and building management.
- No private outdoor space such as a balcony or garden is available, which limits options for outdoor seating or gardening.
- Parking is limited to public street parking without a dedicated spot, which may present challenges in finding convenient parking depending on local demand.
- With only one bedroom, the apartment may not meet the needs of buyers looking for a two-bedroom layout or expecting to grow their household.
Description
Located on the Marktstraat in the heart of Wormerveer, this atmospheric apartment is situated on the second floor of a characteristic former parsonage. The building holds the status of a municipal monument, dating back to 1914, and offers residents a unique combination of historical charm and modern living comfort. The apartment has a living area of approximately 41 square meters, measured according to the NEN 2580 standard, with a measurement report available for verification.
Upon entering the apartment, one is immediately struck by the impressive high ceilings with visible roof rafters. These architectural elements create a remarkable sense of space that belies the actual square meterage and contribute significantly to the authentic character of the residence. The interior finishing is both careful and stylish, resulting in a home that is completely move-in ready. The current owner is not an occupant, which has contributed to the well-maintained condition of the property.
The living room benefits from a genuinely pleasant view. Thanks to the elevated position on the second floor, residents experience a sense of tranquility and privacy that is uncommon for apartments of this size. The outlook extends over water, providing an ever-changing panorama of passing ships and the natural reflections on the surface. This dynamic view adds a special quality to daily life in the apartment.
The layout includes a generous bedroom with an en-suite bathroom. The bathroom is equipped with a walk-in shower and a washbasin. Additionally, there is a separate toilet, which adds practical convenience to the floor plan. Despite the compact total area, the thoughtful arrangement of spaces ensures that the apartment feels surprisingly spacious in use.
A notable feature of this property is the presence of underfloor heating throughout the apartment. This heating system provides a comfortable and even temperature distribution during all seasons, eliminating the need for radiators and contributing to the clean aesthetic of the interior. The central heating boiler is an Intergas Kombi Kompakt HRE 28/24 A, a gas-fired combi boiler that was installed in 2022 and is included in the purchase. This relatively new installation provides reliability and efficiency for heating and hot water needs.
The building features a composite roof covered with bituminous roofing material and tiles. Interior amenities include a skylight that brings additional natural light into the space, mechanical ventilation for air quality management, and a TV cable connection. The energy label is rated B, indicating a reasonable level of energy efficiency for a building of this age.
Living in the former parsonage means residing in a location with genuine character, history, and atmosphere. The property is situated in a residential area of Wormerveer, placing it centrally within the village while still offering a sense of space and freedom through its elevated position and open views. The combination of monument status and thoughtful renovation has created a residence that respects its historical context while meeting contemporary expectations for comfort and quality.
It is important to note that the Homeowners Association (Vereniging van Eigenaren or VvE) is currently being established. This means that the monthly VvE contribution has not yet been determined. There is a one-time entry fee of 500 euros for new members joining the VvE. The VvE checklist indicates that the association is not yet registered with the Chamber of Commerce, has not held annual meetings, has no periodic contribution set, no reserve fund established, and no maintenance plan in place. Building insurance is however arranged. Prospective buyers should factor in the future establishment of these VvE structures and the associated costs that will be determined.
Parking is available through public parking facilities in the vicinity, as the property does not include private parking or a garage. The delivery of the apartment can take place quickly, and a project notary will be used for the transfer. The asking price is 275,000 euros, payable by the buyer (kosten koper), which translates to approximately 6,707 euros per square meter of living space.
The cadastral designation is WORMERVEER B 7182, with full ownership (volle eigendom) being transferred. The property is classified as existing construction (bestaande bouw) and is offered as partially furnished (gedeeltelijk gestoffeerd), referring to the presence of the monumental elements that are part of the building's heritage status. The apartment occupies one residential floor, being the second floor of the building.
