Additionally, the property is located close to various international schools, making it an attractive option for expatriate families or those working in international environments. Parking is available directly in front of the building, which is managed via a permit system. A significant financial advantage of this property is that it is situated on owned land, meaning there is no ground lease to pay.
Access to the apartment is gained via the main entrance of the well-maintained apartment complex. Residents can choose to use either the lift or the staircase to reach the first floor. The entrance area is equipped with an intercom system, a doorbell panel, and individual mailboxes. There is also a communal bicycle storage area available for residents.

The building itself dates back to 1962 and features a flat roof covered with bituminous roofing material. The property is a gallery flat, which is a specific type of apartment building design common in the Netherlands.
Upon entering the apartment, one arrives in a hallway which houses the meter cupboard and provides access to the living room with its open-plan kitchen. The living room is described as being very light and sunny, a feature attributable to the large windows and the presence of a side window, which is a benefit of the corner location. Adjacent to the living area is a pleasant balcony.

The balcony measures approximately 4 square meters.
The open-plan kitchen is designed to offer ample cupboard space for storage requirements. It is equipped with all necessary appliances to ensure a comfortable living experience. The inventory includes a dishwasher, a microwave, a four-burner gas stove, an extractor hood, and a combined refrigerator and freezer unit.

Regarding the sleeping arrangements, the apartment currently features two bedrooms. However, the layout is versatile. Originally, the apartment had three bedrooms. The current owners have combined two of these rooms to create a very spacious master bedroom. This alteration is reversible, meaning it is simple to convert the large master bedroom back into two separate bedrooms should the new owner prefer three smaller rooms. This flexibility makes the property suitable for various household compositions, such as families requiring more rooms or professionals desiring a larger master suite. The second bedroom is of a size that accommodates a double bed, and access to the bathroom is provided through this room. Both bedrooms are fitted with built-in wardrobes, offering efficient storage solutions for clothing and personal items.
The bathroom is fitted with a spacious walk-in shower, a washbasin, and a design radiator. The walls are fully tiled up to the ceiling, ensuring a clean and water-resistant environment. There are connections present for a washing machine and a tumble dryer, allowing these appliances to be conveniently placed in the bathroom. The separate toilet is located in the small hallway between the living room and the bedrooms and is equipped with a small washbasin.

The Stadsplein hosts a lively fresh produce market every Friday, adding to the vibrancy of the area.
