Bright 3-room apartment with spacious kitchen and south-facing balcony in Soest De Eng

This well-maintained 3-room apartment is situated on the second floor of a residential complex along Rubenslaan in the De Eng neighbourhood of Soest. Soest is located in the province of Utrecht and offers a pleasant living environment with a mix of residential areas, green spaces, and good accessibility to surrounding cities.

The apartment covers a living area of 71 square metres with a total internal volume of 234 cubic metres. Inside, you will find two bedrooms and the possibility to create a third bedroom in the living room. The layout is straightforward and functional, with rooms arranged along a central hallway.

The living room stretches approximately 9 metres in length, creating a generous and open living space. Large window sections at both the front and rear of the apartment allow plenty of natural light to enter throughout the day. These windows also offer a pleasant and unobstructed view over the surrounding greenery on both sides of the building. The open aspect at the front and rear contributes to a sense of space and privacy. A door from the living room provides direct access to the balcony. Throughout the apartment, including the living room and bedrooms, a neat PVC floor has been installed.

The closed kitchen is located at the front of the apartment. The kitchen was fully modernised in 2019 and features an L-shaped layout with ample cabinet space and built-in appliances. The original indoor storage room has been incorporated into the kitchen area, resulting in a particularly spacious cooking and working environment. Appliances present include a Quooker and an induction cooktop. A custom-built sliding-door wardrobe unit in the kitchen area houses the washing machine, dryer, and boiler, which is a practical solution for daily laundry needs. Additional storage is available in the basement storage unit of the building, which is suitable for items used less frequently. A shared bicycle storage area is also available in the basement.

Both bedrooms are situated at the rear of the apartment and share the same peaceful orientation. Each bedroom overlooks the green area at the back of the complex and benefits from the same quiet, open views. Both rooms have access to the balcony through their own doors, adding to the indoor-outdoor flow of the apartment.

The south-facing balcony is accessed from the living room and both bedrooms. The balcony is finished with a durable composite terrace material, requiring minimal maintenance. A sunshade is in place to provide shade during warmer periods. The balcony offers enough space for a seating set and allows you to enjoy the sun throughout much of the day. The balcony surface area amounts to approximately 5 square metres, and the external storage unit in the basement adds another 6 square metres of practical storage space.

The bathroom was partially renovated in 2019 and is finished with a walk-in shower and a vanity unit with a mirrored cabinet. The separate toilet in the hallway has also been modernised, so both wet rooms are in a neat and up-to-date condition.

The building dates from 1962 and has a flat roof covered with bitumen roofing material. The apartment itself is equipped with double glazing and is heated via block central heating. Hot water is provided by an electrical boiler. The current energy label for the apartment is F.

The homeowners association (VvE) managing the complex is active and well-organised. It is registered with the Chamber of Commerce and holds annual meetings. A reserve fund is in place, and an maintenance plan has been established. The monthly VvE contribution is €220. The association is preparing to carry out a comprehensive sustainability programme around September 2026. Planned measures include cavity wall insulation, new plastic window frames, HR++ double glazing, the installation of solar panels, and the placement of two heat pumps in the basement of the complex. These improvements are expected to result in an energy label A for the apartment.

Parking in the area is available on the public roads surrounding the complex. The apartment is held under a leasehold arrangement with an annual ground rent of €83.89. The property is offered at an asking price of €290,000 costs to buyer (kosten koper).

This apartment will suit those looking for a move-in ready home with a spacious layout, a sunny south-facing balcony, pleasant green views, and an active owners association planning meaningful improvements to the building and its energy performance.
