Spacious Upper Apartment in Historic Vlissingen City Center

Monique Facchin makelaars & taxateurs presents this well-maintained upper apartment located in the heart of Vlissingen city center. The property is situated on Scherminkelstraat in the Oude Binnenstad area, which is known for its historic character and central location. The apartment offers a total living area of 92 square meters spread across two residential floors.

The entrance of the property provides access to a spacious hallway where residents can store their bicycles. The meter cupboard in this area has been modernized. From the entrance, stairs lead to the first residential floor where the main living areas are located.

On the first floor, visitors are welcomed by a generous hallway that connects to the various rooms. The kitchen has been recently installed and features a practical layout with both upper and lower cabinets. The kitchen is equipped with several built-in appliances, making it immediately ready for use. There are also practical drawers for storage. A fixed closet in the kitchen area houses the central heating combi boiler.

The living room is approximately 29 square meters and benefits from natural light. The floor is finished with laminate. Windows with divided panes provide character to the space. A fixed closet offers additional storage options for residents.

The bathroom on this floor is neatly finished and includes a combined bath and shower unit, a vanity with sink, a toilet, and a washing machine connection. This layout makes the first floor essentially self-contained with all essential facilities.

The second floor is accessed via internal stairs and features a spacious landing area. This landing is large enough to serve multiple purposes, such as a home office space, a guest sleeping area, or additional storage. From the landing, there is direct access to the balcony.

The balcony faces southeast and measures approximately 4.4 square meters according to the description, while the official features section lists 5 square meters of outdoor space. This outdoor area receives sunlight during the morning and early afternoon hours, making it a pleasant spot to sit outside.

On the second floor, there are two bedrooms, each measuring approximately 8 square meters. One of these bedrooms is a through-room, meaning it must be passed through to reach the second bedroom. This layout may suit certain living arrangements but is worth noting for potential buyers. Storage space is available behind the knee walls on this floor.

The property was built in 1910, which places it in the pre-war era. This is reflected in some of the architectural details such as the windows with divided panes on the first floor. The window frames on the first floor are wooden with single glazing, while the second floor has been updated with plastic frames and double glazing. This mixed window situation means that energy efficiency varies between the two floors.

The energy label is not available for this property. The heating and hot water are provided by a gas-fired combi boiler that is owned by the property. Solar panels have been installed on the roof, which may help reduce energy costs for the residents.

An important aspect to consider is the current legal status of the property. The building is currently being legally divided into separate units for the upper apartment and the commercial space below. As a result, no Homeowners Association (VvE) has been established yet. The listing explicitly states that the VvE will be registered with the Chamber of Commerce (KvK) and that it will be up to the owners themselves to determine the monthly contribution amount. This means that future owners will have a say in setting up the VvE structure and financial arrangements, but it also means there is currently no reserve fund, no maintenance plan, and no established procedures for shared building maintenance.

The location of this apartment is one of its strongest features. Situated in the historic center of Vlissingen, residents have immediate access to a wide range of amenities. Supermarkets and shops are within walking distance. The area offers numerous restaurants and cafes for dining and socializing. The Boulevard of Vlissingen with its beaches is nearby, providing opportunities for recreation and relaxation by the water. A cinema is also located within easy reach of the property.

Parking in the area is regulated, with both paid parking and parking permit systems in place. Residents will need to arrange a parking permit or budget for paid parking if they own a vehicle.

The asking price for this property is 219,000 euros, which is stated as costs to be paid by the buyer (kosten koper). This means that in addition to the purchase price, the buyer will be responsible for transfer taxes, notary fees, and any other transaction costs. The price per square meter is approximately 2,380 euros based on the 92 square meters of living space.

The property is available for viewing and the acceptance date can be discussed with the selling agent. The listing indicates that the property is currently available on the market.
