The apartment is part of a well-maintained complex with an active and engaged Homeowners Association. The monthly VvE contribution is currently 160 euros. Despite being part of an apartment complex, the property has the characteristics typically associated with a single-family home, combining the best of both worlds. The maisonnette has its own entrance via a front garden, a spacious living floor, and a sunny rear garden with a storage shed and back access.

The ground floor of the property is accessed via the front garden. The entrance hall provides access to a separate toilet, the meter cupboard, a practical storage closet, and the staircase leading to the first floor. The living room is located at the rear of the property and features large windows that ensure pleasant natural light throughout the day. The space offers ample room to create a comfortable seating area as well as a generous dining area. From the living room, there is direct access to the sunny rear garden.

The open kitchen is situated at the front of the property and is arranged in a practical U-shape. The kitchen is equipped with various built-in appliances and offers sufficient workspace and storage capacity. The layout ensures an efficient use of the available space.

The rear garden is generously proportioned and well-maintained. Thanks to its southeastern orientation, there is always a spot in the sun to be found throughout the day, while shaded areas are also available. At the rear of the garden, there is a freestanding storage shed with a back entrance, providing additional practical storage space and convenient access.

The first floor is reached via the staircase from the entrance hall. The landing provides access to three bedrooms and the bathroom. The main bedroom is located at the rear of the property. The second bedroom is also of good size and can serve as a full bedroom. The third room is smaller and is ideally suited for use as a home office, children's room, or guest room.

The bathroom is functionally laid out and equipped with a shower cabin, a vanity unit, a toilet, and a connection for the washing machine. The central heating boiler is located on the landing. The property is equipped with mechanical ventilation and has a fiber optic connection.

Regarding sustainability and energy efficiency, the property has an energy label B which is valid until March 2036. The building is fully insulated and features double glazing, with the exception of a few small tilt windows. Heating and hot water are provided by a Remeha Avanta gas-fired combination boiler from 2011, which is owned by the current owner.

The property was built in 1988 and has a total volume of 277 cubic meters. In addition to the 84 square meters of living space, there is 6 square meters of external storage space. The property is situated on municipal leasehold which has been perpetually bought off, meaning there are no ongoing leasehold payments.

The Homeowners Association is properly organized with registration with the Chamber of Commerce, annual general meetings, periodic contributions, a reserve fund, a maintenance plan, and building insurance. These elements indicate a well-managed and financially healthy VvE.

The property has been neatly maintained and occupied in recent years, providing a solid foundation for both first-time buyers and those looking to move up the property ladder. The combination of the practical layout, the presence of outdoor space, and the excellent location close to the city center makes this maisonnette an attractive option in the Utrecht housing market.
