Light 3-room apartment with two balconies near the Bussumerheide
Key Features
Description
This three-room apartment is situated on the third floor of the small-scale apartment complex named Karel Doorman, located in the Bussum Zuid area. The property occupies the top floor of the building, which means there are no upstairs neighbors. The complex features a closed entrance area equipped with an intercom system, providing residents with an extra layer of security and convenience.
The living room is characterized by its bright atmosphere, primarily achieved through the full-width windows constructed from plastic frames. The floor is covered with laminate in a neutral color tone, while the walls have been neatly painted and the ceiling has been smoothly finished. A fireplace mantel is present in the living room, offering the possibility to install an open fire, although the current owner has not used this feature since 2021. Through a single set of sliding doors, the indoor balcony can be accessed directly from the living space.
From the living room, the first bedroom measuring approximately ten square meters can be reached. This room maintains the same neat appearance with the matching laminate flooring. A television connection is available in this bedroom for those who enjoy watching television from the comfort of their bed. The bedroom provides access to the balcony through sliding doors, and additional ventilation is possible through the operable windows positioned above the terrace doors.
The bathroom is accessible from the hallway as well as directly from the first bedroom. The sanitary space is simple yet tidy, featuring the original granito flooring. The bathroom is divided into a separate toilet area and a shower area, with the latter containing a fixed sink and a heating unit.
The second bedroom is positioned at the front of the apartment and can be reached directly from the hallway. According to the listing, it would be relatively straightforward to create a more spacious living and kitchen area by opening up the wall between this bedroom and the kitchen, should a future owner desire such a layout.
The kitchen remains largely in its original 1954 state, which may appeal to buyers looking for a renovation project. The current owner has supplemented the basic kitchen with standard loose appliances to ensure modern convenience. The space offers an opportunity for a new owner to install a completely new, modern kitchen according to their own preferences.
From the kitchen, access is provided to the front-facing balcony and terrace, which includes a lockable storage cupboard. This cupboard currently houses the washing machine setup and the central heating boiler, keeping these practical elements out of sight while saving space. On the opposite side of the entrance, an additional spacious storage area is available.
The total usable floor area of the apartment measures fifty-three square meters, complemented by one square meter of other indoor space and five square meters of building-bound outdoor space in the form of balconies. Additionally, there is an external storage unit of approximately five square meters. The total volume of the property is one hundred and eighty cubic meters.
The building dates back to 1954 and features a gable roof covered with bituminous roofing material. The apartment is classified as a portiek flat, which is a common type of apartment in the Netherlands featuring a shared entrance hallway.
Regarding energy efficiency, the property currently holds an energy label E, valid until March 13, 2026. The insulation situation is mixed: the living room has double glazing in plastic frames, while the bedroom has single glazing in wooden frames. Roof insulation is present, and according to the features section, wall insulation has also been implemented.
Heating and hot water are provided by a private central heating boiler manufactured by Intergas, installed in 2020. The electrical installation includes a modern fuse box also installed in 2020, equipped with a smart meter. A fiber optic connection is available at the property.
The location of this apartment complex is described as particularly favorable. The building is situated within walking distance of the Bussumerheide, a nature reserve offering recreational opportunities. The Bussum-Zuid train station can be reached by bicycle in approximately five minutes, while the town center with its various restaurants and cafes is about ten minutes away by bike. Sports facilities including padel, tennis, and football clubs are located practically around the corner from the complex.
The connection to the A1 highway is well organized, allowing quick access to cities such as Amsterdam, Utrecht, and Amersfoort. Shopping facilities and a shopping center are available within walking distance.
Parking is available free of charge both on the premises of the complex and on the public road. The listing indicates that one parking space is available on the VVE property, in addition to permit-free and cost-free parking on the public road.
The Homeowners Association is described as active and healthy. The monthly service costs amount to 247.26 euros. The VVE is properly registered with the Chamber of Commerce, holds annual meetings, has a reserve fund in place, maintains a maintenance plan, and has building insurance arranged.
The property is offered in full ownership, meaning there is no leasehold construction. The listing mentions that a starter loan may be possible, indicating that this property could be suitable for first-time buyers.
The asking price at the time of listing was 275,000 euros, which translates to approximately 5,189 euros per square meter. The property was offered with a cost buyer status, meaning the buyer would be responsible for the transfer costs such as the notary fees and property transfer tax.
The acceptance terms are described as in consultation, suggesting some flexibility regarding the exact date of transfer. The listing had been viewed 2,276 times and saved 49 times by users on the Funda platform, indicating a reasonable level of interest in the property.
At the time of this evaluation, the property status is listed as sold under reservation, meaning a sale has been agreed upon but certain conditions still need to be met before the transaction is finalized.
