3-room apartment with sunny south-facing balcony in Componistenkwartier

Located on the Schubertplein in the Componistenkwartier neighborhood of Apeldoorn, this three-room apartment is situated on the first floor of a gallery flat building constructed in 1959. The property is positioned directly above the Schubertplein shopping center, which hosts a weekly market every Friday, providing residents with convenient access to daily shopping and local amenities.

The apartment has a total living area of 56 square meters, with an additional 6 square meters of other indoor space and 3 square meters of outdoor space in the form of a balcony. The total volume of the property is 130 cubic meters. The building features a saddle roof covered with tiles, which is typical for residential buildings of this era in the Netherlands.

Access to the apartment is through a closed entrance equipped with an intercom system, providing an extra layer of security for residents. From the main entrance, you reach the first-floor gallery where the front door of apartment number 74 is located. Upon entering the apartment, you are welcomed into a hallway that serves as the central point from which all rooms are accessible.

The kitchen was completely renovated in 2024 and is of the closed type, meaning it is a separate room rather than an open kitchen connected to the living area. This kitchen is well-equipped with modern appliances and fixtures. It features a built-in cooktop, an extractor hood for ventilation during cooking, a dishwasher for convenient cleaning, a turntable carousel for efficient use of cabinet space, and an oven for baking and roasting. Additionally, the central heating boiler installation is located in the kitchen, along with connections for washing equipment, making this space functional for laundry purposes as well.

The bathroom facilities in this apartment consist of a shower room and a separate toilet, which is a practical layout that allows multiple residents to use the facilities simultaneously. The shower room is equipped with a shower and a washbasin. The separate toilet room provides additional privacy and convenience.

The apartment contains two bedrooms, making it suitable for various living situations. The main bedroom features a built-in closet, providing valuable storage space without the need for additional freestanding furniture. This bedroom also provides access to the sunny balcony, which faces south, ensuring maximum exposure to sunlight throughout the day. The south-facing orientation is particularly desirable as it allows residents to enjoy outdoor space in optimal conditions, especially during the spring and summer months.

The second room is currently described as a hobby or study room, offering flexibility in how this space is used. According to the listing, this room can optionally be connected to the living room to create a larger living space, depending on the preferences and needs of the future occupant. This flexibility makes the apartment adaptable to different lifestyle requirements.

The living room features a plastic frame with insulating glass, which contributes to better energy efficiency and comfort compared to older single-glazed windows. The insulating glass helps to reduce heat loss during winter months and keeps the interior cooler during summer periods.

In terms of storage facilities, this apartment offers multiple options. There is a small storage closet located on the same floor as the apartment. Additionally, there is a storage unit in the basement of the building, providing space for items that are not needed on a daily basis. The property also includes an attic storage space that belongs to the homeowners association (VvE), offering yet another storage solution for residents.

The central heating system was replaced in 2024 and consists of an Intergas gas-fired combi boiler. It is worth noting that this boiler is rented rather than owned, which means there will be an ongoing monthly cost for this equipment in addition to the regular energy costs. The combi boiler provides both central heating and hot water for the apartment.

The energy performance of the property is indicated by an energy label G. While this is not the most favorable energy rating, the apartment does benefit from some insulation measures, including double glass and HR glass in the windows. These features help to improve the energy efficiency to some extent, though there may be opportunities for further improvement in the future.

The property is part of a homeowners association (VvE) that appears to be well-organized based on the checklist provided. The VvE is registered with the Chamber of Commerce (KvK), holds annual meetings, collects periodic contributions, maintains a reserve fund, has a maintenance plan in place, and has arranged building insurance. The monthly VvE contribution is 173.25 euros, which covers the shared costs of maintaining the building and its common areas.

Parking in the area is provided through public parking spaces, meaning residents do not have a dedicated parking spot but can use the available public parking in the vicinity of the building.

The apartment is offered at an asking price of 249,000 euros, which translates to approximately 4,446 euros per square meter of living space. The costs associated with the purchase (kosten koper) are to be paid by the buyer, which is the standard practice in the Netherlands and includes transfer tax, notary fees, and other transaction costs.

The property is listed as being particularly suitable for a single person or a starter in this price category. The combination of the practical layout, recent updates to the kitchen and heating system, and the convenient location above a shopping center makes this an accessible option for those entering the housing market.

The Componistenkwartier neighborhood in Apeldoorn is a residential area with a mix of housing types. The presence of the shopping center and weekly market adds to the livability of the area, providing easy access to groceries and other daily necessities without the need for extensive travel.

The acceptance date and time are to be determined in consultation with the seller, allowing for some flexibility in the moving process. The listing is presented by Reinders makelaars, a real estate agency that has been established in Apeldoorn for over 60 years, indicating a long-standing presence and familiarity with the local housing market.

Fiber optic cable is available in the apartment, ensuring that residents can access high-speed internet services, which is increasingly important for both work and leisure activities in modern living situations.

The property is offered under full ownership (volle eigendom), meaning the buyer will become the complete owner of the apartment once the purchase is completed. The cadastral reference for the property is APELDOORN L 8825.
