This well-maintained three-room apartment is located at Reigerskamp 598 in Maarssenbroek. The property has a living area of 84 square meters and includes a storage room in the basement as well as a sunny terrace of 9 square meters facing west. The apartment is situated on the upper two floors of an apartment complex that features a lift and is in reasonably good condition.

The building features a central entrance with an intercom system and mailboxes. The entrance area can be closed off and provides access to both the staircase and the lift.

On the first floor of the apartment, you will find a spacious hallway with access to the stairs leading to the upper floor, the meter cupboard, and the intercom. The modern toilet room is fitted with a wall-hung toilet and a small sink. The living room benefits from a favorable sun orientation, making it a bright space. It includes a storage closet under the stairs and provides access to the spacious west-facing terrace. The modern luxury half-open kitchen is arranged in a corner layout and is located on the gallery side of the apartment. The kitchen is equipped with built-in appliances including a four-burner induction hob, an extractor hood, a combination oven and microwave, a refrigerator-freezer combination, a dishwasher, ample cabinet space, and an attractive worktop. The hallway, living room, and kitchen all feature laminate flooring.

The second floor of the apartment features a landing that gives access to two spacious bedrooms. Both bedrooms are fitted with two Velux skylights, providing natural light. The fully tiled bathroom includes a bathtub with shower function, a vanity unit, and space for a washing machine and a dryer. The landing and both bedrooms also have laminate flooring throughout.

The living room has an area of 26 square meters, providing ample space for various furniture arrangements. The half-open kitchen covers 8.5 square meters and its corner layout makes efficient use of the available space. The larger bedroom measures 15 square meters, while the second bedroom offers 11 square meters of floor space. The bathroom has an area of 4.6 square meters. These dimensions indicate a well-proportioned apartment where the rooms offer practical usable areas.

The external storage room in the basement measures 6 square meters, which is sufficient for storing bicycles, garden furniture, or other items that do not need to be kept inside the apartment itself. Having this dedicated storage space is a practical feature for apartment living.

The apartment has a width of 4.58 meters and was fitted with cavity wall insulation and roof insulation during its original construction in 1980. The windows and doors feature wooden frames and are fitted with double glazing and high-efficiency glazing. Heating is provided through block heating, with hot water supplied through a central facility. The block heating system uses an Alutherm B350 HR boiler that was installed in 2023. The entire apartment has laminate flooring, with the exception of the bathroom. Roller blinds in both bedrooms are included in the sale. The property has a fiber optic cable connection.

The apartment is situated on the third residential level of the building, meaning it is elevated enough to enjoy views while still being accessible via the lift. The west-facing terrace of 9 square meters will receive afternoon and evening sun, making it an attractive spot for outdoor relaxation during the warmer months. The terrace offers a pleasant outdoor space with an attractive and reasonably unobstructed view. Free parking is available at the complex in sufficient quantities.

The building was originally constructed in 1980, which places it in an era when cavity wall insulation and roof insulation were already standard construction practices. The presence of wooden window frames is typical for buildings from this period. The combination of double glazing and high-efficiency glazing indicates that window improvements have been made at some point during the building's history.

The block heating system means that individual residents do not need to maintain their own heating boiler, as this is handled centrally. The recent installation of a new Alutherm B350 HR boiler in 2023 suggests that the heating infrastructure has been updated and should provide reliable service for years to come. Hot water is also supplied through the central facility, further simplifying the apartment's technical installations.

The absence of floor insulation is noted specifically in the listing, which is typical for apartments from this construction period where the floor is often a concrete slab between residential levels. The presence of mechanical ventilation indicates a system designed to ensure adequate air circulation throughout the apartment.
