Spacious corner apartment in Utrecht Overvecht with two balconies and free views
Key Features
Upsides
- The corner location on the fourth floor provides exceptional natural light throughout the day and an unobstructed view over the neighborhood and the Utrecht skyline without risk of being overlooked.
- The property includes two balconons situated on the east and west sides, offering the flexibility to follow the sun or seek shade at different times of the day.
- The apartment features a practical layout with a spacious living room extending the full depth of the home and two well-sized bedrooms at the rear, catering well to starters, couples, and remote workers.
- The location offers a strong balance between greenery and urban convenience, with immediate proximity to natural recreation areas like Noorderpark and Maarsseveense Plassen, combined with quick access to public transport and major highways.
- The absence of an existing kitchen allows the buyer to completely customize this essential space to their own taste, budget, and cooking habits without having to remove a pre-existing layout.
Downsides
- The apartment does not include a finished kitchen, requiring the buyer to make a significant additional investment and manage the renovation process before moving in.
- The energy label is D, indicating lower energy efficiency compared to modern standards, which may result in higher energy costs and potential future renovation obligations.
- The heating system is block heating, meaning the residents have less individual control over their heating settings and costs compared to a standalone boiler or heat pump.
- The property is being sold by a seller who has never lived there, meaning there is no NVM questionnaire available and the buyer must rely entirely on their own technical inspection to uncover any hidden defects.
- The monthly VvE contribution of 257.80 euros is relatively high for an apartment of this size, although it does include a 100 euro advance for heating costs.
Description
Located in the green and spaciously designed neighborhood of Overvecht in Utrecht, this corner apartment on the Moezeldreef offers a comfortable living environment with an abundance of daylight and unobstructed views. The area has seen significant positive developments in recent years and is becoming increasingly popular among home seekers. Residents benefit from having all daily amenities within easy reach. For groceries, the Overvecht shopping center is nearby, while various local shops, sports clubs, schools, and healthcare facilities are also situated in the immediate vicinity.
What makes this location particularly attractive is the combination of tranquility, greenery, and excellent accessibility. From the property, you can easily walk or cycle to the beautiful Noorderpark-Ruigenhoek, the Maarsseveense Plassen, or the recreational area around the Vecht. These natural surroundings are ideal for a walk, a run, or a sunny day by the water. The accessibility is also excellent. Utrecht Overvecht NS station is a short distance away and offers a quick connection to Utrecht Central. By bike, you can reach the historic city center of Utrecht in about fifteen minutes. If you travel by car, the A2, A27, and A28 highways are easily accessible.
The apartment is situated on the fourth floor of a well-maintained apartment complex. Access is via the entrance on the ground floor, which leads to the staircase up to the fourth floor. On the ground floor, there is also a private storage room of 7 square meters, which is ideal for storing bicycles and other belongings.
Upon entering the apartment on the fourth floor, the first thing that stands out is how light and spacious the residence feels. The living area extends over the full depth of the apartment and benefits from large windows at the front, rear, and side. Thanks to the corner location and the large glass surfaces, daylight enters abundantly, giving the space a light and pleasant atmosphere throughout the day. Because of the position on the fourth floor, you enjoy a beautiful, free view over the neighborhood, the surrounding greenery, and the skyline of Utrecht. From the living room, you can look far away without direct overlook from neighbors, which ensures a feeling of peace and space. At the front, there is a balcony, a lovely spot to enjoy the view and the sun.
The living room offers ample space for both a comfortable seating area and a large dining table. Whether you are reading a book quietly, working from home, or receiving friends for dinner, this is a living space that offers many possibilities. It is important to note that the kitchen is not yet finished. The new owner has the complete freedom to design and install a kitchen that perfectly matches their personal preferences and lifestyle, allowing for a fully customized living space.
At the rear of the apartment are two good bedrooms. Thanks to the large windows, both rooms are pleasantly light and feel comfortably spacious. The largest bedroom offers enough space for a double bed and a wardrobe, while the second room is excellently suited as a children's room, home office, guest room, or hobby room. This layout makes the apartment attractive to starters, couples, small families, and those who work from home.
The bathroom is modern and neatly finished, featuring a spacious walk-in shower and a vanity unit. In addition, the property has a separate toilet, which provides extra comfort in daily use.
The outdoor space is another notable feature of this property. In addition to the balcony at the living room, the property has a second balcony at the rear. Because the balconons are located on the east and west sides, you can find a nice spot in the sun or in the shade at different times of the day.
The property has a living area of approximately 71 square meters and a volume of 233 cubic meters. The building-bound outdoor space measures 8 square meters. The apartment was built in 1965 and has a flat roof covered with bituminous roofing. The property has an energy label D, which is valid until February 23, 2032. Heating is provided by block heating.
The Homeowners Association (VvE) is active. The monthly service costs are 257.80 euros, which includes an advance payment for heating costs of 100 euros. The VvE is registered with the Chamber of Commerce, holds annual meetings, has a periodic contribution, a reserve fund is present, there is a maintenance plan, and the building is insured.
Parking is available in the public area. For more information about the parking policy and permits in this area, it is recommended to consult the website of the Municipality of Utrecht. It is also important to note that if the property is not going to be occupied by the buyer themselves, reference is made to the regulations of the municipality of Utrecht.
The seller has not occupied the property themselves and therefore cannot inform the buyer about the properties or defects of the property. There is no NVM questionnaire available. A non-self-occupancy clause will be included in the purchase agreement. The purchase agreement will be concluded on the basis of an NVM purchase agreement, which may include additional clauses if applicable, such as an age clause, reservation of financing, and notary costs. The text of the NVM purchase agreement and the additional clauses are available on request.
Delivery of the property is in consultation. The seller explicitly reserves the right of allocation at all times.
