Spacious apartment with two terraces in Utrecht center

This property is a spacious upper house located at Nobeldwarsstraat 10 B in the city of Utrecht. The residence offers a significant living area of 194 square meters spread across two floors. The location is situated between the lively Nobelstraat and the park belonging to the Stadsschouwburg. Residents have access to two south-facing terraces. The property is characterized by its high ceilings and stylish living spaces. The surrounding neighborhood provides a mix of urban amenities and green spaces. Shops, restaurants, and theaters are nearby. The central station of Utrecht is within walking distance, as are bus and tram connections. For recreation, the Griftpark and Wilhelminapark are a short distance away.

The property is classified as a bovenwoning which translates to an upper apartment. It was built in 1995 and features a saddle roof covered with tiles. The interior layout is designed to offer both comfort and flexibility. With two separate living layers, the home is well suited for families or individuals requiring a large amount of space. The current owners have maintained the property with a focus on modern comfort while retaining the character of the building.

Access to the building is via the entrance on the street side. The hallway on the ground floor provides access to a private storage unit. This storage space has a height of nearly three meters, making it suitable for storing bicycles, luggage, seasonal items, or tools. Having a dedicated storage area on the ground floor is a practical feature for an apartment located in the city center.

The first floor of the living area is reached via the staircase. Upon entering this floor, one arrives at a spacious landing that gives access to various rooms. The living room is located at the front of the property. This room features high ceilings and stylish wall finishes. It includes a generous seating area and large windows that offer a view of the busy street and the characteristic building on the opposite side. Despite the central location, the height of the apartment and the insulation ensure a quiet interior environment.

The living room connects to the kitchen. The kitchen is spacious and executed in an Italian design style. It is equipped with a range of built-in appliances, including an oven, a four-burner gas cooktop, a stainless steel extractor hood, and a dishwasher. The design uses robust materials and color accents to create an industrial yet unique style. The kitchen offers a significant amount of counter space and storage capacity, making it functional for cooking enthusiasts.

On this first floor, there is also a separate toilet and a bedroom. The bathroom on this level is stylish and features a walk-in shower and a washbasin cabinet. The first terrace is located at the rear of this floor. This terrace faces south, providing a good spot for relaxation in the evening. The terrace is part of the 32 square meters of external space associated with the property.

The second floor offers a playful layout designed for flexible living. This level contains a luxury kitchen complete with the necessary built-in appliances, allowing for a separation of living spaces if desired. There is a master bedroom and an additional bedroom on this floor. The presence of two full floors allows the apartment to function as a double residence or provide ample privacy for family members working from home.

The bathroom on the second floor is very spacious and includes a bathtub, a double washbasin, a second toilet, a walk-in shower, and a built-in steam cabin. The presence of a steam cabin is a notable luxury feature for a city apartment. This floor provides access to the second terrace, which is also situated on the south. This outdoor space borders directly on the living area and offers room for a lounge set. Because of the southern orientation, residents can enjoy sunlight from morning until evening.

Technically, the property is in good condition. It has an energy label A, indicating high energy efficiency. Heating and hot water are provided by a central heating boiler. The specific boiler is a Nefit combi-boiler from 2021, which is gas-fired and owned by the property. This relatively recent installation ensures reliable hot water and heating for the foreseeable future.

The apartment is part of a small, active Owners Association (VvE). The financial position of the VvE is described as healthy. There is a reserve fund present. The monthly contribution for the VvE is 160 euros. The association is registered with the Chamber of Commerce (KvK), holds annual meetings, and has building insurance. However, a long-term maintenance plan is reportedly not available, which is something to consider for future upkeep planning.

The cadastral data indicates that the property is located on municipal ground subject to leasehold (erfpacht). The financial obligations regarding this leasehold have been perpetually paid off. This means the buyer does not have to worry about recurring annual leasehold payments or canon, which is a significant financial advantage.

Parking in the area is managed through paid parking or parking permits. The location in the city center means that a car is not strictly necessary for daily life, given the proximity to public transport and amenities.

In summary, the Nobeldwarsstraat 10 B offers a unique combination of space, light, and location in Utrecht. The 194 square meters of living space, divided over two floors with two bathrooms and two south-facing terraces, make it a rare find in the urban housing market. The healthy VvE, the paid-off leasehold, and the energy-efficient installation add to the quality of the listing. The property is suitable for those seeking a large home in the heart of the city with the possibility for flexible living arrangements.
