Description
This well-maintained three-room apartment, located on the second floor of the 'Havenzicht' complex in Farmsum, offers a comfortable and practical living experience. The property is presented as move-in ready, making it an attractive option for individuals or couples looking for a home that requires no immediate work. The apartment benefits from a free and unobstructed view at both the front and back, a feature that ensures a sense of privacy and spaciousness throughout the day. The inclusion of a private garage box with an electric door, a storage unit on the ground floor, and a balcony facing east adds significant value and convenience to the home.
Upon entering the apartment via the central entrance, which is equipped with a lift and staircase, residents are welcomed into a neat and finished hallway. This hallway provides access to all the main rooms of the property. The living room is a standout feature, described as generous in size and very bright due to large window sections on both sides. This design allows for a lovely through-view and enhances the feeling of space. The windows provide a pleasant outlook over the green surroundings, contributing to a tranquil atmosphere.
The kitchen is practical and efficiently laid out, offering ample workspace and storage capacity. It comes equipped with several essential appliances, including an induction cooktop, a dishwasher, and an extractor hood. A refrigerator and freezer combination is conveniently located in the hallway, separate from the kitchen area. The layout ensures that daily cooking tasks are manageable and straightforward.

Beyond the private balcony, the property includes a separate storage room on the ground floor, which is useful for storing bicycles or gardening equipment.
One of the most significant assets of this listing is the private garage box. Equipped with an electric door, it offers secure parking for one car or serves as excellent extra storage space. Having a dedicated garage in an apartment complex is a rare and highly valuable feature that greatly enhances the convenience of daily life. Furthermore, the apartment is almost entirely fitted with plastic window frames, which contributes to better insulation and lower maintenance requirements.
The 'Havenzicht' apartment complex itself is well-kept and features a lift installation, making the apartment easily accessible for residents of all ages. The property holds an energy label C, indicating a reasonable level of energy efficiency. This is supported by features such as double glazing and HR glass, as well as central heating provided by a Nefit ProLine combi-boiler from 2019, which is owned by the property. This boiler supplies both the heating and hot water.
The location of the apartment is described as highly favorable regarding amenities. Essential facilities like a primary school, childcare, and a local community center are found in the immediate vicinity. For broader needs, the train and bus station, a gym, sports fields, the shopping center of Delfzijl, the harbor, and even the beach at Delfzijl are easily accessible. This combination of a peaceful residential setting with good connectivity to a wider range of services makes the property suitable for starters, singles, couples, and seniors alike.
Financially, the property is managed by an active Homeowners Association. The monthly contribution for the VvE is set at 160 euros. This contribution covers the maintenance of common areas and the building. The Kadaster data identifies the property as being in Delfzijl, with specific plot details provided. The total living area is 70 square meters, with additional external storage space of 22 square meters for the garage and 1 square meter for other indoor spaces. The volume of the apartment is 233 cubic meters. The asking price is 169,000 euros, payable by the buyer. The property is classified as an existing gallery flat, built in 1964 with a flat roof covered with bitumen. The facade is constructed of brick.
In summary, this apartment offers a balanced mix of comfortable living space, practical amenities, and a convenient location. The presence of a garage, a lift, and an energy-efficient boiler adds to the appeal. The property is presented in a neat condition, requiring no immediate renovations, and is situated in a quiet area with a free view.
