Description
This three-room apartment is situated on the south side of Leeuwarden, in the residential neighborhood of Nijlân. The property offers an unobstructed view of the Van Harinxmakanaal, a significant waterway that adds a distinctive character to the location.
The apartment is located on the third floor, which is the top floor of the building. This elevated position contributes to the open view mentioned in the listing. Access to the apartment is through a portiek entrance on the ground floor, equipped with an intercom panel. The stairwell has floor covering installed, and there is a separate storage room of approximately five square meters with electrical connection available for residents.
Inside the apartment, the layout begins with a hallway that includes a built-in wardrobe closet. The kitchen is functional and includes a washing machine connection. From the kitchen, there is access to a balcony facing east. This provides morning sun exposure for those who enjoy outdoor space in the early part of the day.
The bathroom is accessible through the toilet area, creating a practical flow. The bathroom contains a sink and a walk-in shower. This configuration means the toilet and bathroom are connected, which is a common layout in apartments from this era.
The first bedroom measures approximately nine square meters and includes a sink, built-in wardrobe, and access to the second balcony. This balcony faces southwest, making it suitable for afternoon and evening sun. The inclusion of a sink in the bedroom provides additional convenience.
The living room occupies approximately twenty square meters and features a built-in cabinet. Electric sun blinds are installed, which help manage sunlight and temperature during warmer periods. The second bedroom measures approximately ten square meters and also has electric sun blinds installed.
The building dates from 1963, which places it in the post-war reconstruction period of Dutch housing. The flat roof is covered with bituminous roofing material, typical for apartment buildings of this construction period.
Regarding energy efficiency, the property has an energy label D. Part of the windows have double glazing installed, though not all windows appear to have been upgraded. The heating and hot water are provided by a combi boiler that was installed in 2013, meaning this is now over ten years old but still within a reasonable expected lifespan for such equipment.
The VvE, or homeowners association, is properly organized with registration at the Chamber of Commerce. Monthly contributions are set at 145.05 euros, which covers maintenance and building insurance. The VvE has a reserve fund in place and an active maintenance plan, indicating responsible management of the shared property.
The Nijlân neighborhood is characterized by a substantial amount of green space, which contributes to the residential quality of the area. Various amenities are available within walking distance, including schools, a shopping center, and sports fields. Public transportation connections to the city center are described as excellent. For those who travel by car, the location provides favorable access to highways leading towards Heerenveen and Drachten.
Parking at the location is public, meaning there is no dedicated parking spot included with the apartment. Residents will need to find parking in the public spaces available in the neighborhood.
The purchase agreement will include several standard clauses for properties of this type and age. The non-self-occupancy clause suggests the property may currently be rented out or that the seller has specific conditions regarding occupancy. The asbestos clause is standard for buildings from this period, as asbestos was commonly used in construction materials before regulations changed. The old age clause is typical for older properties and relates to the fact that certain quality expectations may not apply to buildings of this vintage.
The total living area is sixty square meters, with an additional six square meters of balcony space and five square meters of external storage. The volume of the apartment is 212 cubic meters, which gives an indication of ceiling height and overall spatial feel.
Fiber optic cable, mechanical ventilation, and TV cable connections are available in the apartment, representing modern infrastructure within an older building envelope.
The property is available for immediate occupancy upon completion of the purchase process. The asking price is 192,500 euros, which translates to approximately 3,208 euros per square meter of living space.
