Description
This corner residence is situated in the sought after neighborhood of Nijmegen Noord, an area that has developed into one of the most desirable residential locations in the region over recent years. The property at Pijlpuntstraat 2 offers a combination of space, natural light, and modern amenities that makes it suitable for both first time buyers and families looking to upgrade to a more spacious home.
The ground floor welcomes you through an entrance hall that immediately conveys a sense of quality and attention to detail. The hall features a modern toilet with washbasin, a practical stair cupboard providing additional storage space, and a comprehensive meter cupboard equipped with district heating connection and fiber optic internet. The entire ground floor is finished with a PVC wood look floor that includes comfortable underfloor heating, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere from the moment you enter.
The living area is particularly notable for the exceptional amount of natural light that floods the space. This is achieved through large windows at the rear of the property combined with additional side windows that are a direct benefit of the corner position. The seating area is oriented towards the garden, creating a pleasant connection between indoor and outdoor living. The open layout establishes a natural flow between the living, cooking, and dining areas. The neutral finish throughout allows residents to easily adapt the space to their personal taste and interior style.
The kitchen is positioned at the front of the property and features a practical U shaped layout with a stylish sandy color scheme. The work surface consists of granite, and the cabinetry is handleless with soft close mechanisms on the wide drawers. The sink incorporates black accents that contribute to the modern aesthetic. The kitchen is equipped with high quality Siemens and Boretti appliances including a wide combination oven, refrigerator freezer combination, extractor hood, and a five burner induction cooktop. The corner cabinets rotate for easy access, and there are ample power outlets and dimmable spot lighting. While cooking, residents can enjoy an unobstructed view at the front of the property.
The first floor contains three well proportioned bedrooms, all finished with laminate flooring in neutral tones. The two largest bedrooms measure 18 square meters and 12 square meters respectively. The two front facing bedrooms offer sufficient space for a bed along with a wardrobe or desk, making them suitable as children's rooms, guest rooms, or home offices.

The large bedroom on this floor takes full advantage of the corner position, offering fantastic views and abundant daylight. This room is also equipped with air conditioning and manual screens. Given its generous dimensions, this space could potentially be divided to create two separate rooms, offering flexibility for those who need additional bedrooms, a home office, or a hobby space.

The garden features a mix of paving, lawn, planted borders, and larger shrubs, creating a green and relaxed atmosphere.
