Spacious 3-room apartment near beach and boulevard in Noordwijk
Key Features
Description
The apartment is located on Parallel Boulevard 152 in the coastal town of Noordwijk aan Zee, situated in the southern part of the Netherlands in the province of South Holland. This property is part of the residential complex known as Residence La Courbe, which enjoys an exceptional position just a short distance from the beach, the sea, the boulevard, and the vibrant center of Noordwijk aan Zee. The building is equipped with an elevator and well-maintained communal areas that contribute to a pleasant living environment.
This three-room apartment is situated on the second residential floor and offers a generous living area of 89 square meters. The interior features a high-quality finish, including large-format light tiles measuring 60 by 60 centimeters that have been laid throughout all rooms, creating a sense of continuity and spaciousness. The building dates back to 1995 but has been maintained to contemporary standards, as evidenced by the A energy label, which indicates excellent energy efficiency.
Upon entering the apartment, you are welcomed by an entrance area equipped with a video intercom system and a cloakroom space. The hallway provides access to the various rooms in the apartment. On one side of the hall, there is a door leading to one of the bedrooms, which features a built-in closet wall for ample storage. On the opposite side of the hallway, the master bedroom is accessible, also provided with a generous built-in closet wall, offering plenty of space for clothing and personal belongings.
Adjacent to the hallway, there is a separate toilet room that contains a toilet and a small washbasin. The bathroom is generously proportioned and features a walk-in shower, a vanity unit with washbasin, and a second toilet. This configuration provides practical convenience for daily use.
The living room is notably spacious and features light-colored wall finishes that enhance the bright and airy atmosphere. From the living room, you can access the sunny terrace through sliding doors. This outdoor space measures 5 square meters, with dimensions of 1.40 meters in depth and 3.33 meters in width. The terrace faces west, meaning you can enjoy the afternoon and evening sun, making it an ideal spot for relaxation or outdoor dining during warmer months.
The kitchen is semi-open and connects seamlessly with the living area. It is equipped with various built-in appliances, including a dishwasher, a refrigerator-freezer combination, a four-burner cooktop with an extractor hood, and a combination microwave. This setup makes the kitchen both functional and convenient for everyday cooking needs.
Adjacent to the kitchen is a utility room that houses the connections for the washing machine and dryer, the central heating boiler, and the central extraction system. This practical layout keeps the main living spaces free of laundry appliances while providing easy access when needed.
The apartment also includes an external storage space of 5 square meters, which is located within the building. This additional storage is valuable for keeping items that are not needed on a daily basis, such as seasonal decorations, sports equipment, or bicycles.
The property boasts an A energy label, which is the highest rating on the Dutch energy label scale for residential properties. This indicates that the apartment is fully insulated, contributing to lower energy consumption and reduced heating costs. The heating and hot water are provided by a central heating boiler, specifically an Intergas gas-fired combination boiler that is owned by the current owner.
The residential complex Residence La Courbe is managed by an active homeowners association, as evidenced by the VvE checklist provided. The association is registered with the Chamber of Commerce, holds annual meetings, collects periodic contributions, maintains a reserve fund, has a maintenance plan in place, and has arranged building insurance. The monthly service costs for the apartment amount to 216.34 euros.
One notable feature of this property is the availability of two private parking spaces in the underground garage of the complex. These parking spaces, internally numbered 30 and 31, are available for separate purchase at a price of 35,000 euros each, costs to be borne by the buyer. The parking garage features an electric door for secure access. Given the central location near the beach and boulevard, having a dedicated parking space is particularly valuable, as public parking in this area can be both limited and expensive.
The asking price for the apartment is 479,000 euros, costs to be borne by the buyer. This price translates to approximately 5,382 euros per square meter of living space. The parking spaces are not included in this price and must be purchased separately if desired. The transfer date is to be agreed upon between the buyer and seller.
Noordwijk aan Zee is a popular coastal town that attracts both permanent residents and tourists. The location of this apartment offers the combination of a residential area with proximity to all amenities. The beach and the sea are just a short distance away, as are the boulevard with its restaurants and shops, and the town center with its diverse range of facilities.
The property is classified as a gallery flat, which is a common apartment type in the Netherlands where the apartments are accessed via an external gallery or corridor. The building has a flat roof covered with bituminous roofing material.
This apartment on Parallel Boulevard presents an opportunity to acquire a modern, spacious, and energy-efficient home in a desirable location in Noordwijk aan Zee. The combination of the generous living area, the high-quality finish, the sunny west-facing terrace, the availability of private parking, and the proximity to the beach and center makes this a property that will appeal to a range of potential buyers, from couples and small families to those seeking a home in a prime coastal location.
