3-Room Apartment on the Top Floor in Vlaardingen - A Project for Handy Enthusiasts

Located in the Vettenoordsepolder neighborhood of Vlaardingen, this apartment presents a distinctive opportunity for buyers seeking a property they can customize to their own tastes. Situated at Mendelssohnplein, the residence is specifically marketed towards handy individuals and starters who are willing to invest effort into a comprehensive renovation. The property is a former four room apartment that currently functions as a three room unit. It is positioned on the fourth and highest floor of a well maintained complex, offering residents a quiet environment and a free view due to its elevation.

The apartment requires significant work throughout. Every major aspect of the interior needs attention and renewal. The kitchen, bathroom, and toilet facilities are described as being in need of complete renovation. The current living room was created by merging two separate rooms, which suggests there is potential to reimagine the layout to suit specific preferences. The scope of work extends to the finishing touches and general state of the apartment, necessitating a thorough renovation from the ground up for those wishing to make it their ideal home.

The layout of the property on the fourth floor begins with an entrance leading into a hallway that features a fixed closet and provides access to the various rooms. There are two bedrooms available within the apartment. The sanitary facilities include one bathroom and a separate toilet. As noted, these areas are among those requiring full updating. The living space benefits from an abundance of natural light, owing to its position on the top floor.

One of the practical features of this apartment is the presence of balconies on both the front and the rear of the property. This allows residents to choose between sun and shade at different times of the day. Additionally, the property comes with a storage unit located in the basement of the building, providing extra space for belongings that do not need to be kept in the apartment itself.

The building dates back to 1949, which places it in the category of existing construction with historical character. Despite its age, the apartment is equipped with plastic window frames featuring double glazing, contributing to better insulation and energy efficiency compared to the original specifications. The energy label for the property is E. Heating for the apartment is provided via a central block heating system, which is common in apartment complexes of this era. Hot water is generated through an electric boiler.

The property is situated on its own land, meaning there is no leasehold to consider. The active Homeowners Association manages the building. The monthly contribution to the VvE is 275 euros. This fee includes a 150 euro advance for heating costs. The VvE is structured with a reserve fund, a maintenance plan, and building insurance. The association is registered with the Chamber of Commerce and holds annual meetings, indicating a structured and organized management of the shared property elements.

The location in Vlaardingen offers proximity to the town center, making daily amenities and services accessible. The specific area is Vettenoordse Polder Oost, described as a quiet residential area. Parking is available on public roads in the vicinity of the building.

Given the construction year of 1949, the purchase agreement will include an age clause. This clause is standard for properties older than thirty years and serves to inform the buyer about the expectations regarding the condition of older buildings.

Buyers must be aware of this obligation, and the selling broker advises potential buyers to consult the municipality directly for the specific regulations regarding this self occupancy duty. Neither the seller nor the selling broker accepts liability for any damages resulting from non compliance with this rule.

While the broker strives to present the information as accurately and currently as possible, no liability is accepted for the correctness of the stated data. Prospective buyers are advised to verify any crucial measurements themselves to prevent disappointment or damage, as the measurement instruction based on NEN2580 is meant to provide an indication but cannot completely exclude differences in outcomes due to interpretation or limitations during measurement.
