Luxurious Top-Floor Penthouse with Panoramic Views in Centraal Tower
Key Features
Description
This penthouse represents the final available unit of its kind within the Centraal new construction project in Heerhugowaard, specifically identified as building number 116. Situated on the fourteenth and fifteenth floors of the tallest tower in the area, this property offers a residential experience characterized by elevated living spaces and expansive views across the surrounding landscape. The Centraal project comprises eight unique penthouses on the upper levels, and this particular unit stands as the last opportunity to acquire one of these distinctive homes.
The penthouse, classified as type G, provides approximately 100 square meters of living space distributed across a single residential level on the fifteenth floor. The interior volume measures 260 cubic meters, contributing to a spacious and airy atmosphere throughout the residence. A covered terrace of approximately 20 square meters extends the usable outdoor space, offering a sheltered area for relaxation while maintaining the elevated perspective that defines this property.
The main living area encompasses approximately 44 square meters and serves as the central gathering space within the home. Large window sections on two sides of this room maximize natural light intake and reinforce the open character of the layout. This space accommodates both a kitchen with an island configuration and a comfortable seating area, making it suitable for daily family life as well as hosting guests. The kitchen placement within the living area creates a cohesive social environment where cooking and conversation can flow naturally.
The sleeping quarters consist of three bedrooms, providing flexibility for various household configurations. Whether the resident requires a home office, guest room, or additional bedroom space, the three room layout accommodates these needs. A full bathroom serves the household, complemented by a separate toilet room for added convenience and privacy. The practical arrangement of these spaces reflects thoughtful planning that prioritizes daily functionality.
Privacy represents a significant advantage of this top floor location. The elevated position ensures that residents are removed from street level activity, creating a tranquil environment within the home. The panoramic views extend across Heerhugowaard, offering a constantly changing backdrop that varies with time of day and season. The sense of freedom associated with high altitude living combines with the physical separation from neighbors below to create a genuinely private residential experience.
The building incorporates comprehensive accessibility features, making it suitable for residents with mobility limitations as well as elderly occupants. An elevator system provides convenient vertical transportation throughout the building. The private storage unit located on the ground floor sits in close proximity to the elevators, ensuring that accessing stored items requires minimal effort and navigation.
Sustainability forms a core principle of the Centraal project. This penthouse achieves an A+++ energy rating through a combination of high performance insulation standards and efficient building systems. The property operates entirely without natural gas, instead connecting to the sustainable heating network operated by Duurzame Ring Heerhugowaard Exploitatie. Underfloor heating and cooling systems maintain comfortable interior temperatures throughout the year while minimizing energy consumption. These systems distribute warmth and cooling evenly across the floor surfaces, eliminating cold spots and drafts that characterize traditional radiator based heating.
The Stationskwartier district in Heerhugowaard represents a newly developed urban area that integrates residential living with natural surroundings. The location places residents in immediate proximity to the NS railway station, facilitating direct connections to surrounding cities. The Middenwaard shopping center lies within comfortable walking distance, providing access to a comprehensive range of retail options and services. Natural areas surround the district, offering recreational opportunities for walking, cycling, and outdoor activities without requiring vehicular travel.
Transportation connections extend beyond the immediate vicinity. Alkmaar and coastal beach areas are accessible by bicycle, while Amsterdam can be reached within approximately fifty minutes by train. This combination of local convenience and regional connectivity positions the property favorably for commuters who require access to major employment centers while preferring to reside in a smaller urban environment.
The property ownership structure follows the standard Dutch model of full freehold, providing the owner with complete control over the apartment unit. The homeowners association maintains active status with registered KvK presence, annual general meetings, regular contribution collection, a maintained reserve fund, a documented maintenance plan, and building insurance coverage. The monthly association contribution amounts to 219.30 euros, which covers shared building expenses and contributes to the reserve fund for future maintenance needs.
Parking facilities include a garage structure, addressing the practical transportation needs of residents. The GIW Waarborgcertificaat provides additional security regarding the construction quality and completion guarantees, offering protection to the buyer throughout the purchase process and initial ownership period.
The asking price stands at 645,000 euros, calculated on a per square meter basis of 6,450 euros. This price reflects the premium positioning of the penthouse within the building hierarchy, the new construction status, the elevated floor level, and the comprehensive sustainability features incorporated into the design. The property is available for transfer through negotiation, allowing flexibility in determining the actual completion date according to buyer preferences and construction timeline alignment.
The Centraal tower occupies a central position within Heerhugowaard, making it a recognizable landmark within the local skyline. The architectural design emphasizes vertical lines and contemporary aesthetics that distinguish it from surrounding buildings. The penthouses at the upper levels benefit from this architectural statement, enjoying unobstructed views that lower floor units cannot achieve. The combination of height, views, and modern construction standards creates a residential offering that addresses multiple quality factors simultaneously.
