Atmospheric upper floor apartment with rooftop terrace in Nijmegen-Oost

The property is located on Paulus Potterstraat in the Hengstdal neighborhood of Nijmegen. This area falls under Nijmegen-Oost, which is one of the most sought-after residential areas in the city. The apartment is situated on a quiet street, providing a peaceful living environment while still being close to all amenities. The building dates back to approximately 1930, giving the property a characteristic appearance typical of the interwar period architecture found in this part of Nijmegen. The upper floor apartment combines original period features with modern updates, creating a living space that respects the building's heritage while meeting contemporary comfort standards. Upon entering the building at ground level, residents are greeted by an entrance hall featuring an attractive terrazzo floor. This original flooring detail sets the tone for the attention to period features maintained throughout the property. From the hall, there is access to a storage cellar, which provides additional storage space below the living quarters. The upper floors are reached via a staircase leading to the apartment itself. The first floor of the apartment serves as the main living area. The landing provides access to a modern toilet facility. At the front of this floor, there is a spacious dining room that benefits from an original fireplace surround, adding character and a focal point to the space. The modern open kitchen is arranged in a U-shape configuration and comes equipped with various built-in appliances, making it functional for everyday cooking and entertaining. The living room is positioned to take advantage of natural light through large windows that feature original leaded glass details. These windows not only provide illumination but also add to the period character of the home. The living room includes built-in cupboards, offering practical storage solutions without the need for additional freestanding furniture. From the living room, sliding doors open onto the rooftop terrace, creating a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living. The rooftop terrace covers approximately 16 square meters and faces south, ensuring maximum sun exposure throughout the day. This outdoor space provides an ideal setting for relaxation, dining al fresco, or simply enjoying the weather during warmer months. The terrace represents a significant amenity for an upper floor apartment, effectively extending the usable living area. Moving to the second floor, the landing provides access to a separate laundry room, keeping utility functions separate from the main living spaces. The bathroom on this floor is described as spacious and luxurious, featuring a whirlpool bath, a shower, a double vanity unit, and a toilet. This comprehensive bathroom layout accommodates various routines and preferences. This floor contains two bedrooms, though the listing notes that these were previously configured as three separate rooms. This indicates that there is flexibility in how the space can be arranged, potentially allowing for a home office, guest room, or additional bedroom depending on the needs of the occupants. The current two-bedroom configuration provides more generous room sizes compared to the previous three-room layout. The third level is accessible via a pull-down ladder and consists of a storage attic. This space offers additional storage capacity for items that are not needed on a daily basis, such as seasonal decorations, luggage, or sporting equipment. In terms of energy efficiency, the property holds a D energy label. The building has partial double glazing installed, and there is roof insulation in place. Heating and hot water are provided by a Vaillant combination boiler that runs on gas. The boiler is owned rather than rented, which avoids ongoing rental costs. Air conditioning is also present in the property, providing cooling during warmer periods. The property is part of an active homeowners association, with monthly contributions set at approximately 100 euros. The VvE checklist indicates that the association is not registered with the Chamber of Commerce, does not hold annual meetings officially noted, lacks a reserve fund, has no maintenance plan documented, and does not have building insurance arranged through the VvE. These points would warrant further investigation by prospective buyers to understand the current and planned maintenance arrangements for the building. Parking in the area operates on a permit system, meaning residents need to obtain a parking permit for on-street parking. There is no dedicated parking space or garage included with the property. The location in Nijmegen-Oost offers proximity to various amenities. The neighborhood has a selection of cafes and restaurants within walking distance, as well as shopping facilities for daily needs. The city center of Nijmegen is easily accessible, as are the university campus and Radboudumc hospital. For those who enjoy nature and outdoor activities, the nearby woods and the Kops Plateau area provide opportunities for walking and recreation. This combination of urban convenience and natural surroundings contributes to the popularity of the area. The property is described as partially furnished, which may include certain fixtures or furniture items that could remain in the property depending on negotiations. This aspect would need to be clarified during the viewing and offer process. With four rooms in total, including two bedrooms, the property offers living accommodation suitable for couples, small families, or individuals who require a home office space in addition to a bedroom. The presence of original features such as the terrazzo floor, leaded glass windows, and fireplace surrounds adds character that distinguishes the property from newer constructions, while the updated kitchen and bathroom provide modern convenience. The building has a composite roof covered with bituminous roofing material and tiles. The total volume of the property is 361 cubic meters, with 91 square meters of living space, 12 square meters of additional indoor space, and 16 square meters of building-related outdoor space in the form of the rooftop terrace. The apartment is located on the second living level of the building. Fiber optic cable and television cable connections are available, indicating modern connectivity infrastructure. The acceptance terms for the property are to be discussed between the buyer and seller.
