Upsides

Description
This maisonnette apartment is located in Amersfoort and offers a living space of 101 square meters spread across two residential floors. The property is situated on the second and third floors of a building originally constructed in 1957. The apartment provides the spatial experience of a single family home while maintaining the elevated position and unobstructed views typically associated with apartment living.
The building features a central closed entrance with an intercom system and mailboxes. Residents have access to a private storage unit measuring 7 square meters located in the basement level. At the rear of the building, there is a shared green garden area that residents can enjoy for relaxation and recreation.
Upon entering the apartment on the second floor, you are welcomed by a practical layout that includes a meter cupboard and a storage closet. The hallway provides access to the various rooms on this level. A notable feature throughout the entire property is the smooth plastered finish on all walls, which creates a clean and modern appearance without the need for additional wall treatments.
The closed kitchen on this floor is fully equipped with all necessary appliances and fixtures. From the kitchen, you can access the first balcony, which is located at the front of the property. This provides a convenient outdoor space for morning coffee or fresh air while cooking.
The living area is generously proportioned and benefits from large windows that allow abundant natural light to enter the space. Adjacent to the living room is a separate dining room, creating a clear distinction between relaxing and dining areas. The living room provides direct access to the second balcony, which is positioned at the rear of the building. This arrangement ensures that you have outdoor options on both sides of the apartment, allowing you to follow the sun throughout the day or choose a sheltered spot depending on weather conditions.
The second floor also contains two comfortable bedrooms and the first bathroom. The bathroom is fully tiled and equipped with a shower and a washbasin. Various built in closets throughout this level provide additional storage space, helping to keep the living areas organized and clutter free.
A fixed staircase connects the second floor to the third floor, where the master bedroom is located. This bedroom is particularly bright thanks to three large skylights that flood the space with natural light from above. The room features sliding doors that open directly onto the roof terrace, creating a seamless indoor outdoor connection. The roof terrace is a significant feature of this property, offering a private outdoor space with an unobstructed view toward the city center. This area is large enough to accommodate outdoor furniture and is suitable for entertaining guests or simply enjoying the outlook in privacy.
Also located on the third floor is a second bathroom that is currently under construction. The space already has a functional toilet that is fully operational. The connections for a shower, a bathtub, and a washbasin are already in place, allowing the new owner to complete the bathroom according to their own preferences and specifications. This represents both an opportunity for personalization and an additional project to consider when evaluating the property.
The apartment has an energy label C rating, which reflects the various insulation measures that have been implemented. These include facade insulation, roof insulation, and the installation of HR++ glazing throughout the property. These improvements contribute to a comfortable indoor climate during both winter and summer months while also helping to keep energy costs manageable.
Heating and hot water are provided by an HR gas combination boiler that was installed in 2019. This boiler is owned by the current owner, meaning there are no rental costs associated with this essential system. The property also features both mechanical and natural ventilation systems, helping to maintain good air quality throughout the apartment.
The property is connected to a fiber optic cable network, ensuring fast and reliable internet connectivity for those who work from home or require high speed internet for streaming and other online activities.
The active Homeowners Association manages the building and has a well organized structure. The monthly service contribution is 360.57 euros. The VvE is registered with the Chamber of Commerce, holds annual meetings, maintains a reserve fund, has a maintenance plan in place, and has arranged building insurance. These factors indicate a professionally managed residential complex.
Parking in the area is organized through a paid parking system with options for public parking and parking permits. Prospective buyers should factor in the costs and logistics of parking when considering this property.
The building features a gable roof covered with tiles, which is typical for residential buildings of this era in the Netherlands. The total volume of the apartment is 349 cubic meters, which confirms the generous proportions of the living spaces.
The property is offered at a price of 385000 euros, which translates to approximately 3812 euros per square meter of living space. The asking price is subject to negotiation, and the transfer is on a cost to buyer basis, meaning the buyer is responsible for the transfer tax and notary fees associated with the purchase.
The location is described as being in a residential area with a green environment and an open position. The combination of the neighborhood setting with the views toward the city center from the roof terrace offers an appealing balance between tranquility and urban accessibility.
The property is classified as partially furnished, suggesting that some items may be included in the sale, though prospective buyers should clarify the specifics of what will remain in the apartment.
With three full bedrooms, two bathrooms, two balconies, and a roof terrace, this maisonnette offers a substantial amount of living and outdoor space for an apartment. The smooth wall finishes and modern installations create a move in ready feel, though the unfinished second bathroom represents an additional consideration for potential buyers. The energy efficiency improvements and recent boiler installation provide some assurance regarding the ongoing costs and maintenance requirements of the property.
