Ground Floor Apartment with Private Garden and Canal Views in Leeuwarden
Key Features
Description
This ground floor apartment is situated at Nijlânsdyk 127 in Leeuwarden, offering a comfortable living space of 51 square meters with two bedrooms. Built in 1963, the property represents established construction in a well-established neighborhood within the city of Leeuwarden.
The apartment presents itself as a move-in ready residence, having been consistently well-maintained by its current owners. Upon entering, residents are greeted by a bright and airy living room that flows naturally toward the outdoor space. This connection between interior and exterior creates a sense of openness and allows for abundant natural light throughout the day.
The living area serves as the heart of the home, providing sufficient space for comfortable seating arrangements and dining needs. Large windows ensure that natural daylight penetrates deep into the room, reducing the need for artificial lighting during daytime hours. The direct access to the outside means that residents can easily step out to enjoy their morning coffee on the terrace or spend time in their private garden.
From the living room, the layout leads to the kitchen, which is described as neat and functional. The kitchen provides adequate space for meal preparation and includes the standard appliances one would expect in a modern household. Given the overall size of the apartment, the kitchen has been designed to maximize efficiency while maintaining a clean and organized appearance.
The bathroom is located within the apartment and has been maintained to a good standard. While the listing does not provide extensive details about the bathroom fittings, it is positioned conveniently between the living areas and the sleeping quarters.
The apartment features two generously sized bedrooms, both capable of accommodating double beds and associated bedroom furniture. The master bedroom is positioned to benefit from natural light, while the second bedroom offers flexibility for use as a guest room, home office, or children's room depending on the needs of the occupant.
A particularly noteworthy feature is the access from the rear bedroom directly into the private garden. This arrangement creates a seamless indoor-outdoor flow, allowing residents of the back bedroom to step directly into their outdoor space without needing to traverse the entire apartment. This design element adds both convenience and a sense of freedom to the living experience.
The private garden is one of the standout features of this property. Offering a genuine outdoor living space in an urban setting, the garden allows residents to enjoy time outside without leaving their home. The garden overlooks the Van Harinxmakanaal, providing pleasant views across the water. The surrounding area features abundant greenery and water elements, contributing to a tranquil and relaxing atmosphere.
The views over the canal are described as beautiful, adding a distinctive character to this apartment. Waterfront living offers a unique quality of life, with the opportunity to observe passing boats and enjoy the ever-changing scenery of the waterway. The positioning of the property ensures that these views remain unobstructed, preserving the aesthetic appeal of the location.
The apartment is positioned on the ground floor, which offers several practical advantages. Residents do not need to navigate stairs or elevators, making daily life more convenient. This aspect also makes the property potentially suitable for individuals with reduced mobility or those who simply prefer single-level living.
In terms of energy efficiency, the property holds an B energy label. This rating indicates reasonable energy performance and suggests that the apartment has been equipped with adequate insulation and energy-efficient features. For prospective buyers, this translates to relatively moderate energy costs and a reduced environmental footprint compared to older, less efficient properties.
The monthly homeowners association contribution amounts to 101.08 euros. This fee covers the maintenance of common areas, building insurance, and administrative costs associated with the owners association. Prospective buyers should factor this ongoing cost into their budget calculations alongside mortgage payments and utility bills.
The owners association is registered with the Chamber of Commerce, indicating a formal and recognized legal structure. While the listing notes that there is no annual meeting, reserve fund, or maintenance plan explicitly mentioned, this does not necessarily indicate problems. However, prospective buyers are advised to inquire further about the financial health and long-term maintenance planning of the association.
Parking facilities in the area consist of public parking options. The listing mentions that there is sufficient and spacious parking available nearby, which is a practical consideration for residents who own vehicles. This aspect removes the uncertainty of finding parking that can affect some urban living situations.
The location of the apartment is described as favorable within Leeuwarden. The property sits near the Van Harinxmakanaal, placing residents within reach of the city's various amenities while maintaining a sense of tranquility. The neighborhood offers proximity to essential facilities, major road networks, and the vibrant city center of Leeuwarden.
Leeuwarden is the capital city of the province of Friesland and offers a rich combination of urban conveniences and cultural attractions. The city features numerous shops, restaurants, cafes, and entertainment venues. Historical buildings, museums, and cultural events contribute to the city's appeal, while parks and green spaces provide opportunities for recreation and relaxation.
For commuters or those who travel frequently, the accessibility of major routes from this location is a significant advantage. The surrounding infrastructure connects well with regional and national transportation networks, making travel by car efficient.
The property is immediately available for occupation, with acceptance possible per direct. This immediate availability eliminates the waiting period associated with new construction or properties requiring extensive renovation before moving in.
The ownership status is full property ownership, meaning the buyer will own both the apartment and a share in the common areas. This arrangement provides security and autonomy in property management decisions.
The property comes with furniture and furnishings available for takeover, should the new owner wish to acquire them. This option can simplify the moving process for those seeking a fully furnished residence or those who appreciate the existing interior style.
In summary, this ground floor apartment at Nijlânsdyk 127 offers comfortable living in a convenient urban location with the added benefit of a private garden and attractive canal views. The combination of two bedrooms, move-in ready condition, and immediate availability makes it a practical choice for individuals, couples, or small families seeking quality housing in Leeuwarden. The B energy label and reasonable homeowners association contribution contribute to the property's overall value proposition.
Prospective buyers are encouraged to arrange a viewing to appreciate the property's features firsthand and to confirm that the apartment meets their specific housing requirements.
