Top Floor Apartment with Sunny Southwest Balcony and Pond Views

This apartment is situated on the third and uppermost floor of the Heyermansflat, a well-maintained residential complex located in the Schrijverswijk district of Veenendaal. The property is classified as a gallery flat and was originally constructed in 1963. The apartment has a total usable living area of approximately 65 square meters, with an internal volume of around 200 cubic meters. Additionally, there is a balcony measuring 4 square meters and an external storage unit of 5 square meters located in the basement of the building.

The entrance to the apartment is reached via a secured main entrance equipped with an intercom system and a mailbox panel. From there, the third floor is accessed through the communal staircase. The apartment itself is entered through a covered porch leading into an entrance hall. This hall contains the intercom unit and a practical meter and storage cupboard. From the entrance hall, there is access to both bedrooms, the bathroom, an internal storage room, and the living room.

The living area is one of the notable features of this apartment. At approximately 29 square meters, the combined living and dining room spans the full width at the front of the property. The current layout is the result of a previous modification where a former bedroom was incorporated into the living space and the kitchen was repositioned. This alteration has created a surprisingly spacious feel for an apartment of this size. The room receives good natural light due to its position on the upper floor and the unobstructed views. Both the living room and the kitchen have doors providing access to the balcony.

The open kitchen features beech-colored cabinet fronts with an anthracite-colored mottled synthetic worktop. The kitchen is equipped with a sink, a gas cooktop, an extractor hood, and a connection point for a washing machine. A fixed cupboard in the kitchen houses the central heating boiler, which is a Nefit Proline HRC 24/CW4 combi boiler installed in 2009. This boiler provides both heating and hot water for the apartment.

The balcony is positioned on the southwest side of the building, which means it receives afternoon and evening sun throughout much of the year. From the balcony, there is an open view over a pond area, contributing to a sense of space and tranquility. The balcony can be accessed from both the living room and the kitchen, making it a practical extension of the living space during warmer months.

The apartment contains two bedrooms. The larger bedroom measures approximately 11 square meters, while the second bedroom is approximately 5 square meters. Both bedrooms are situated along the gallery side of the apartment. The smaller bedroom has a built-in wardrobe with sliding doors, providing useful storage space. Between the living room and the main bedroom, there is an internal storage room of about 3 square meters. The listing notes that this space could potentially be incorporated into either the living room or the main bedroom if desired, offering some flexibility for future owners.

The bathroom is compact but neatly finished. The walls are tiled with camel-colored tiles, and the floor features terracotta-colored tiles. The bathroom includes a design radiator, a washbasin, a shower cabin, and a wall-hung toilet. Mechanical ventilation is installed in the bathroom, and the ceiling has been lowered to accommodate built-in spotlights. This lowered ceiling treatment gives the bathroom a finished and modern appearance.

Throughout most of the apartment, the flooring consists of threshold-free continuous laminate. The walls are predominantly finished with spachtelputz, a textured wall finish that provides a subtle and even surface.

The building has a flat roof covered with bituminous roofing material. The windows have double glazing, which provides a basic level of insulation. The current energy label is rated F, which is consistent with the building age of 1963 and the level of insulation typically found in apartments from that period. The mechanical ventilation system and the presence of double glazing do offer some improvements over the original specifications.

The property is part of an active Homeowners Association (VvE) that is registered with the Chamber of Commerce. The VvE holds annual meetings, collects periodic contributions, maintains a reserve fund, has a maintenance plan in place, and has arranged building insurance. The monthly service costs are 199.95 euros, which covers the communal expenses and contributions to the reserve fund.

In the basement of the complex, each apartment has its own storage unit. The storage unit belonging to this apartment measures approximately 5 square meters and is equipped with electricity and lighting. The basement storage is easily accessible.

Parking in the immediate vicinity of the building is regulated through a permit system. This system was implemented to prevent parking inconvenience caused by visitors to a nearby shopping center. The cost for a first resident parking permit is 50.78 euros per year, and a second permit costs 110.93 euros per year, according to information from the Municipality of Veenendaal.

The location of the apartment is described as surprisingly green while also being centrally positioned. The center of Veenendaal, with its range of shops, restaurants, and cultural facilities, is within walking distance. For daily errands or spontaneous visits to a terrace, the distance is short and convenient.

For sports and recreation, the immediate surroundings offer various options. Several sports facilities are located nearby, including hockey, tennis, and football fields, as well as multiple gyms. A city park in the vicinity provides space for walking, running, or simply enjoying the green environment.

The accessibility by public transport and car is described as excellent. Veenendaal-Centrum railway station is approximately a five-minute bicycle ride away. For car travel, the Rondweg-Oost provides quick and easy access to the A12, A30, and A15 motorways.

The apartment is offered at a listed price of 270,000 euros, with the buyer responsible for the transfer costs (kosten koper). This translates to approximately 4,154 euros per square meter of living space. The acceptance date and terms are to be negotiated. The property is currently available on the market.
