Key Features
Upsides
- Extensive renovations completed in 2025 including a brand-new kitchen with modern appliances, upgraded bathroom, new mechanical ventilation, and design radiators, making the property move-in ready.
- Excellent energy performance with energy label A, complete insulation, HR++ double glazing, and a 2024 Intergas combination boiler, resulting in low energy costs and a comfortable living environment.
- Stunning panoramic views from the eighth floor balcony overlooking the sea harbor, beach, and surrounding area of Delfzijl, providing a distinctive and pleasant outlook.
- Comprehensive amenities including a private covered parking space, indoor storage room, bicycle storage, elevator access, video intercom, and communal garden, covering most practical daily needs.
- Accessibility features making the apartment suitable for elderly residents or those with mobility limitations, combined with proximity to the train station and urban center.
Downsides
- Delfzijl is a smaller city that has experienced economic challenges related to its port and industrial activities, which may affect long-term property appreciation and neighborhood vitality.
- The monthly VvE contribution of 204.31 euros adds to ongoing housing costs, representing a significant annual expense of over 2,400 euros in addition to mortgage or loan payments.
- The smaller secondary bedrooms at 7.5 square meters each are relatively compact, which may limit their functionality for larger furniture or as spacious double bedrooms.
- As part of a woonzorgcentrum (care center), there may be a higher proportion of elderly residents in the complex, which could affect the social atmosphere for those seeking a younger or more varied demographic community.
- The location in the north of the Netherlands, while offering sea views, may feel remote for those requiring frequent access to major urban centers or international airports.
Description
This contemporary apartment is situated on the eighth floor of the Wilhelminatoren, an iconic residential tower completed in 2007 in the harbor city of Delfzijl. The building forms part of the Woonzorgcentrum Van Julsingha complex, positioned conveniently near the train station and the adjacent urban center, making it an attractive option for those seeking accessibility and urban amenities.
The apartment offers approximately 97 square meters of living space and comprises four rooms, including three bedrooms. The master bedroom provides a generous 15 square meters of floor area, while the two additional bedrooms each offer about 7.5 square meters, making them suitable for use as guest rooms, home offices, or children's rooms depending on the buyer's needs.
One of the most compelling features of this apartment is its orientation on the sunny side of the building. From the living room and the expansive 14-square-meter balcony, residents enjoy sweeping views across Delfzijl, with the sea harbor, the coastal beach, and the Farmsumer church tower clearly visible. The current owners describe this vista as providing a daily vacation feeling, which speaks to the quality of the outlook this property offers.
The interior has undergone comprehensive modernization in recent years. The kitchen was completely renewed in 2025 and comes equipped with modern appliances including a refrigerator, freezer, combination microwave oven, dishwasher, an induction cooktop with integrated extraction, and a Quooker boiling water tap. The bathroom received an upgrade in 2025 as well, now featuring a walk-in shower, a vanity unit with sink, a mirror with integrated lighting, and a toilet. The total bathroom area is approximately 6 square meters.
Additional improvements completed in 2025 include the replacement of the mechanical ventilation box and the installation of new design radiators. The apartment is heated by means of an Intergas HRE combination boiler from 2024, which is owned rather than rented, eliminating a monthly rental charge. The property is fully double-glazed with HR++ glass set in plastic window frames, contributing to its excellent energy rating of A.
Practical amenities include a private covered parking space in the underground garage, an indoor storage room measuring 6.5 square meters, and a dedicated bicycle storage area. The building features a closed entrance with a video intercom system and an elevator, ensuring ease of access for all residents. A communal garden is available for shared use, offering an alternative outdoor space for enjoying sunshine or shade.
The location provides practical advantages as well. The Wilhelminapark is within walking distance, and sports facilities including football and tennis courts can be reached within two minutes on foot. The building is designed to be accessible for people with mobility limitations and is suitable for elderly residents, aligning with its position within a care center complex.
The monthly contribution to the Owners Association (VvE) is currently 204.31 euros, which covers maintenance, reserve funds, building insurance, and administrative costs. The association is properly registered with the Chamber of Commerce, holds annual meetings, maintains a reserve fund, and has a structured maintenance plan in place.
The apartment is delivered partially furnished, providing some flexibility for new owners. The property is held in full ownership with no leasehold arrangements to consider. Kadastral records show the property registered under Delfzijl B 5085.
