Exclusive Penthouse with Expansive Terraces and Panoramic Views in Delft
Key Features
Upsides
- The penthouse features an exceptional 53 square meters of terrace space surrounding the apartment on three sides, allowing residents to follow the sun throughout the day and enjoy outdoor living at a level uncommon for apartments.
- The top-floor position provides panoramic views over the Hof van Delftpark and guarantees privacy, with no neighbors above and an unobstructed outlook in multiple directions.
- The property includes a private parking space in a closed underground garage, which is a significant advantage in the central location of Delft where parking is often difficult and expensive.
- The heating system was replaced in 2024 with a modern Intergas HR combi boiler that is owned outright, eliminating the need for a large near-term expense that buyers often face with older properties.
- The layout with two separate bathrooms serving different parts of the apartment offers practical flexibility for families, couples who work from home, or those who frequently host guests.
Downsides
- The monthly VvE contribution of 479 euros is relatively high and represents a significant ongoing cost that buyers should factor into their budget calculations.
- The energy label B indicates only moderate energy efficiency, which may result in higher energy costs compared to more recently built or renovated properties, and could become less favorable as energy regulations tighten.
- The sixth-floor location means residents are entirely dependent on the lift for convenient access, and any lift malfunction would require climbing six flights of stairs.
- With only three bedrooms despite the 166 square meters of living space, some buyers might find the bedroom count modest for the overall size and price point of the property.
- The asking price of 5,813 euros per square meter is at the higher end for the Delft market, particularly for a property from 1994, which may limit potential resale appreciation.
Description
This exclusive penthouse is situated in a small-scale apartment complex in a highly sought-after location in Delft. The property offers a generous living area of 166 square meters, providing ample space for comfortable living. The apartment is located on the sixth floor, which is the top floor of the building, and benefits from a lift that provides direct access from the ground floor entrance to the apartment.
Upon entering the penthouse, you are welcomed by a spacious reception hall that leads into an L-shaped corridor. This corridor provides access to all rooms in the apartment, ensuring a practical and well-organized layout. At the end of the corridor, the impressive living room reveals itself, immediately drawing attention to the large terrace visible through the wide sliding doors. The living room features large windows that allow an abundance of natural light to enter the space. With a ceiling height of approximately 2.70 meters, the room feels particularly spacious and airy. The living area offers various possibilities for creating a comfortable seating area and a dining space that can accommodate larger gatherings.
Adjacent to the living room is the half-open kitchen, arranged in a corner layout. The kitchen provides considerable storage space and is equipped with various built-in appliances, making it a functional space for daily cooking and meal preparation.
The apartment includes three generous bedrooms. The master bedroom is located on the west side of the apartment and benefits from an adjoining bathroom. This first bathroom is fitted with a bathtub, a shower, and a washbasin. Additionally, there is a separate toilet room with a small sink for convenience and privacy.
Via an intermediate hallway, the two remaining bedrooms can be reached. These bedrooms are served by the second bathroom, which is equipped with a toilet, a bidet, a washbasin, and practical storage cabinets. This configuration makes the apartment particularly suitable for families or for those who frequently host guests, as the two additional bedrooms have their own bathroom facilities separate from the master suite.
One of the most notable features of this penthouse is the outdoor space. The terraces surround the apartment on three sides and together comprise approximately 53 square meters. This extensive outdoor area allows residents to enjoy the sun or seek shade at any time of the day, depending on their preference and the position of the sun. The terraces offer views over the Hof van Delftpark, providing a pleasant green outlook that adds to the sense of space and tranquility despite the central location.
The location of this penthouse is described as excellent. The historic center of Delft is within short distance, offering a wide range of shops, restaurants, and cultural attractions. Delft Central Station is also easily accessible, providing connections to major cities in the Randstad area including The Hague, Rotterdam, and Amsterdam. Various neighborhood shops are available nearby for daily groceries and other necessities. For those traveling by car, the A4, A12, and A13 motorways are quickly reachable. Public transport is available right at the doorstep, with a bus stop located at walking distance on the Teding van Berkhoutlaan.
The building features a well-maintained, closed entrance on the ground floor with a video intercom system, mailboxes, a lift, and a staircase. Residents have access to a private parking space in the closed underground parking garage, which is a valuable asset in a city center location where parking can be challenging. Additionally, there is a bicycle storage area on the ground floor for secure storage of bicycles.
The apartment building has an active Homeowners Association (Vereniging van Eigenaren) that is properly organized. The VvE 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 building insurance. The monthly VvE contribution is 447 euros, with an additional 32 euros per month for the parking space, totaling 479 euros per month.
The property was built in 1994 and features a flat roof covered with bituminous roofing material. The apartment has double glazing and wall insulation, resulting in an energy label B. Heating and hot water are provided by an Intergas HR combi boiler that was installed in 2024 and is owned by the current owner, meaning buyers will not need to budget for a boiler replacement in the near term.
The property is offered at an asking price of 965,000 euros, which translates to approximately 5,813 euros per square meter of living space. The transfer is to be negotiated, and the property is currently available. The property is delivered with full ownership (volle eigendom) and is located on cadastral parcel DELFT T 4920.
The penthouse combines the advantages of apartment living, such as security and shared maintenance of the building exterior, with the spatial qualities typically associated with single-family homes. The generous terrace area, the unobstructed views, and the top-floor position contribute to a sense of privacy and exclusivity that is not commonly found in apartment complexes. The presence of two bathrooms adds practical value, especially for households with multiple occupants or for those who work from home and may need a separate space for video calls or focused work.
For potential buyers considering this property, it is worth noting the combination of the central location with the peaceful outlook over the park. The apartment offers a balance between urban convenience and a relatively quiet living environment. The building appears to be well-managed, with a properly functioning VvE that has the necessary structures in place for long-term maintenance of the common areas and the building envelope.
