Description
This apartment is situated in the Indische Buurt neighborhood in a well-maintained building on the first residential floor. The property dates back to the 1950s and was originally configured as a four-room apartment, now functioning as a three-room residence. The apartment is offered in move-in ready condition and features balconies on both the front and rear sides of the building. Additionally, there is a storage room located on the ground floor of the complex.
The building entrance is located on the ground floor, where residents have access to a hall with mailboxes and a staircase leading to the upper floors. The storage unit for this apartment is also situated on the ground floor and contains the central heating combination boiler, which was installed in 2020. This arrangement keeps the heating system accessible while not taking up valuable living space within the apartment itself.
Upon entering the apartment on the first floor, you step into a hallway equipped with an intercom system and a built-in closet. This hallway provides access to the various rooms of the apartment. The layout has been thoughtfully arranged to maximize the available living space of 82 square meters.
One of the two bedrooms is located at the rear of the apartment and features a built-in closet for storage. This bedroom provides a quiet position away from the street side. The second bedroom is positioned at the front of the apartment and also includes a built-in closet. This front bedroom has the advantage of French doors that open directly onto the front balcony, allowing for natural light and fresh air.
The bathroom is fitted with a shower cabin and a washbasin vanity unit. A small window in the bathroom provides natural ventilation and daylight. The toilet is located separately and features a wall-hung toilet and a small sink for convenience.
The kitchen is a closed kitchen with a lengthwise arrangement featuring cabinetry and counter space on both sides. The kitchen comes equipped with built-in appliances and has a built-in washing machine, which is a practical feature that saves space in the laundry area. A door from the kitchen provides direct access to the rear balcony, making it convenient for outdoor dining or drying laundry.
The living room is a generous space that also has access to the rear balcony through a door. This creates a pleasant connection between indoor and outdoor living areas. The rear balcony can be reached from both the living room and the kitchen, providing flexibility in how the outdoor space is used.
The apartment benefits from several upgrades and modern features. Most of the windows have been replaced with plastic frames (kunststof kozijnen) fitted with HR+ and HR++ glass, which contributes to better insulation and energy efficiency. An electric screen has been installed on the front side of the apartment, while an electric sunshade (zonnescherm) is present on the rear side, both providing convenient sun protection during warmer months.
The property is part of a healthy, active, and professionally managed homeowners association (VvE). The monthly VvE contribution is 157.35 euros. The VvE is properly registered with the Chamber of Commerce (KvK), holds annual meetings, has a reserve fund in place, maintains an active maintenance plan, and has arranged building insurance. The VvE also has plans for further sustainability improvements to the building, which could benefit residents in the future.
Parking is available on the property grounds for residents, which is a valuable feature in an urban setting where parking can often be challenging to find.
The location of this apartment offers excellent connectivity and convenience. A small shopping center is located directly across from the building, providing easy access to daily necessities and services. The property has outstanding transport connections to the city center, the train station, Radboud university medical center (Radboudumc), Radboud University, and the HAN university of applied sciences. This makes the apartment particularly attractive for people working or studying at these institutions.
The building is situated on a quiet road within a residential neighborhood, offering a peaceful living environment while still being well-connected to the wider city. The Indische Buurt is a well-established neighborhood with a mix of residential character and urban amenities.
With a volume of 272 cubic meters and a total living area of 82 square meters, this apartment provides comfortable living space. The building-related outdoor space of 12 square meters consists of the two balconies. The external storage space measures 6 square meters, which is sufficient for storing bicycles, garden furniture, or other items.
The property has an energy label E, with HR glass and floor insulation as the main insulation measures. The central heating system consists of a CV combination boiler from 2020, which is relatively new and should provide reliable heating for years to come.
The apartment is offered at an asking price of 450,000 euros, which translates to approximately 5,488 euros per square meter. The property is available for viewing and the acceptance terms are to be negotiated. The cadaster reference is HATERT G 1357, and the property is offered with full ownership rights (volle eigendom).
