Description
This apartment, identified as construction number 69 within the modern new build project Dok van Dronten, represents the final available unit in this development. The property is located at Remise 46 and is scheduled for completion by the end of 2026. The apartment is situated on the sixth residential floor, providing residents with an elevated position that offers pleasant light conditions throughout the day and unobstructed views over the adjacent water.
The living space measures approximately 123 square meters according to the description, with the technical specifications listing 132 square meters of residential use area, 4 square meters of additional indoor space, and 24 square meters of building related outdoor space. The total volume of the apartment is 396 cubic meters. The property features three bedrooms, making it suitable for various household compositions including families, couples who require additional space for a home office, or individuals who appreciate generous living areas.
The apartment includes one bathroom equipped with a shower and washbasin, plus a separate toilet. The bathroom and toilet are provided as a fixed price allowance (stelpost), meaning the future owner will have the opportunity to complete these spaces according to personal preferences and requirements. This arrangement allows for customization of these essential spaces to match individual tastes and needs.
Energy efficiency is a prominent feature of this property, as evidenced by the A+++ energy label. The apartment is equipped with an individual air to water heat pump system that provides both heating and hot water. Underfloor heating is installed throughout the entire living space, offering even heat distribution and eliminating the need for radiators that would take up wall space. The building itself incorporates comprehensive insulation measures including roof insulation, wall insulation, and floor insulation. Additionally, the complex features solar panels as part of its sustainable energy profile.
The outdoor space consists of a sun terrace spanning the full width of the apartment, measuring 11 meters in width and 2.20 meters in depth for a total area of 24 square meters. This terrace faces west, which means it will receive afternoon and evening sunlight. This orientation can be particularly pleasant during the warmer months when residents can enjoy the outdoor space after the workday. The west facing position also offers opportunities to observe sunsets over the water.
The apartment features large window sections that contribute to the pleasant natural light mentioned in the listing. These windows have aluminum frames, which are known for their durability and low maintenance requirements compared to wooden frames. The flat roof is covered with bituminous roofing material, which is a standard and reliable choice for modern apartment buildings.
Parking is addressed through a private parking space located in the insulated parking garage beneath the building. This is a significant practical advantage, as secure and covered parking is increasingly valued in urban and semi urban environments. The parking garage is accessible directly from the building, providing convenience regardless of weather conditions.
In addition to the private parking space, the apartment includes an internal storage room (inpandige berging) for storing items such as bicycles, seasonal decorations, luggage, or other belongings that residents prefer not to keep in the main living areas. A collective bicycle storage facility is also available on the ground floor of the building, offering additional space for bicycle parking.
The building is equipped with an elevator, which is an essential feature for a sixth floor apartment. This ensures comfortable access to the property for residents, visitors, and for moving furniture or other large items. The presence of mechanical ventilation contributes to a healthy indoor climate by continuously refreshing the air within the apartment.
The location of Dok van Dronten is described as particularly favorable, positioned centrally between the NS railway station and the town center of Dronten. This means that public transportation is within walking distance, facilitating commutes to nearby cities or other destinations served by the rail network. The town center, with its shops, restaurants, and other amenities, is also easily accessible on foot. This central positioning eliminates the need for a car for daily errands, although the private parking space remains available for longer trips or other purposes.
The apartment is part of a larger new build development, which brings certain advantages. New construction properties typically require less maintenance in the initial years compared to older buildings. The Woningborg guarantee certificate provides additional security for the buyer, as this guarantee protects against construction defects and ensures that the project will be completed even if the developer encounters financial difficulties.
The monthly VvE (Homeowners Association) contribution is set at 198.14 euros. This fee covers the shared costs of maintaining and managing the common areas of the building, including the parking garage, elevator, collective bicycle storage, and the exterior of the building. Prospective buyers should factor this recurring cost into their monthly housing budget calculations.
The asking price for this apartment is 699,900 euros, which is offered vrij op naam (free of transfer tax and notary costs for the property transfer). Based on the living area figures provided, this translates to approximately 5,302 euros per square meter according to the technical specifications, or a slightly higher figure if calculated using the 123 square meter measurement from the description text.
The property is currently available on the market, and interested parties are advised to contact the selling real estate agents for additional information or to schedule a viewing of the project. Given that this is described as the last available apartment in the Dok van Dronten project, prospective buyers may need to act relatively quickly if they wish to secure this particular unit.
