A private storage room is located on the ground floor and is equipped with electricity, providing additional space for storing bicycles, luggage, or other belongings.
One of the significant advantages of this property is the included private parking space located on the rear grounds of the complex. This means you will always have a guaranteed parking spot upon returning home, eliminating the need to search for street parking. It is worth noting that the surrounding area operates on a paid parking system. Visitors can park using a visitor pass, which costs approximately 0.25 euros per hour with a maximum of 10 euros per month, arranged through a parking app by registering the license plate.
The location on the St. Ignatiusstraat ensures that amenities, shops, public transportation, and major roads are all within easy reach. The apartment is within walking distance of various facilities, schools, and the center of Breda, allowing you to combine the convenience of city living with the comfort of a quiet home base.
The Homeowners Association is properly organized with registration with the Chamber of Commerce, annual meetings, periodic contributions, a reserve fund, a maintenance plan, and building insurance. The monthly VvE contribution is approximately 172.98 euros, which includes the usual insurance, management, reserve for major shared maintenance, and shared minor maintenance.
