Spacious New Build Apartment with Southeast Balcony at Stadswerven Dordrecht
Key Features
Description
This apartment, identified as Bouwnummer 107 within the Stadswerven De Hendrik development in Dordrecht, offers a comfortable living space of approximately 117 square meters. The property is classified as a three-room apartment featuring two bedrooms, making it suitable for various household compositions including couples, small families, or individuals seeking additional space for a home office.
The apartment is situated on the ninth floor of the building, providing an elevated position that can offer views over the surrounding area. Access to the apartment is facilitated by a lift, which adds convenience for daily living and moving items in and out of the property. The building is characterized as a portiekflat, which is a common apartment type in Dutch urban areas where multiple units share a common entrance area.
One of the notable features of this apartment is the southeast-facing balcony. This orientation means that the outdoor space receives morning sunlight, creating pleasant conditions for starting the day outdoors. The balcony measures 10 square meters and is classified as gebouwgebonden buitenruimte, which means it is an outdoor space attached to the building structure. This provides residents with a private outdoor area to enjoy fresh air and views without leaving the immediate vicinity of their home.
The interior layout places all living spaces on a single floor level, which contributes to a practical and accessible living arrangement. The 117 square meters of living space is complemented by an additional 5 square meters of other indoor space, likely consisting of storage areas within the apartment. The total volume of the apartment is 351 cubic meters, which indicates a comfortable ceiling height throughout the living areas.
The two bedrooms offer flexibility in how the space is used. Families with children can allocate one room as a master bedroom and the other as a children's room. Alternatively, the second bedroom could serve as a study room, guest room, or hobby space depending on the needs of the residents. The listing emphasizes the practical organization of the space, which helps maintain overview during busy periods when work, school, and leisure activities overlap.
The bathroom is equipped with a shower and a washbasin. Additionally, there is a separate toilet, which is a practical arrangement that allows multiple household members to use the facilities simultaneously without inconvenience. This separation of bathroom and toilet is a common preference in Dutch housing as it improves daily functionality.
Energy efficiency is a strong characteristic of this new build property. The apartment has been awarded an A++ energy label, which represents a high level of energy performance. This rating is achieved through full insulation of the building envelope, which minimizes heat loss during colder months and reduces the need for excessive heating. The heating system utilizes district heating (stadsverwarming), which is an efficient and environmentally friendly method of providing warmth to residential properties. The combination of excellent insulation and efficient heating contributes to lower energy costs for residents and reduces the environmental impact of the household.
The Stadswerven De Hendrik development represents a modern residential project in Dordrecht. The property is scheduled for completion in 2026, which means buyers are purchasing a brand new home that will meet current building standards and regulations. New build properties typically come with fewer immediate maintenance concerns compared to older homes, as all materials, installations, and systems are new and covered by warranty periods.
The location of Stadswerven positions residents in close proximity to the center of Dordrecht. The listing describes the city center as being close enough for frequent use, not only for planned outings but also for everyday activities such as buying groceries, dining out, or simply enjoying the urban atmosphere. This combination of a residential neighborhood setting with nearby urban amenities offers a balanced lifestyle where peace and convenience coexist.
Regarding parking and storage, the property includes access to a storage box (berging), which provides additional space for items that do not need to be kept inside the apartment such as bicycles, seasonal items, or sports equipment. Parking options include a parking space and access to a parking garage. The surrounding area also has paid parking, which is typical for urban and near-urban locations in the Netherlands.
The sale of this property is conducted through a subscription process (verkoop bij inschrijving), which is common for new build developments where multiple interested parties may wish to purchase similar units. Prospective buyers were required to submit their preferences through the project website before the specified deadline. This method allows the developer to process applications and allocate units in an organized manner.
The asking price for this apartment is set at 684,900 euros, which translates to approximately 5,854 euros per square meter of living space. The price is stated as vrij op naam, meaning that the buyer is not responsible for paying the transfer tax that would normally apply to property purchases. This can represent a significant saving, particularly for buyers who would not qualify for transfer tax exemptions.
The property is offered with delivery in consultation (aanvaarding in overleg), which provides some flexibility regarding the exact handover date and conditions. The property is classified as full ownership (volle eigendom), meaning the buyer will own the apartment outright without any leasehold or ground lease obligations affecting the property rights.
The Stadswerven area is described as a residential neighborhood (wonenwijk), which suggests a planned environment with a focus on creating a pleasant living environment for residents. The mention of the development being called Stadswerven indicates a connection to the water, as werven refers to wharves or shipyards, reflecting the historical maritime character of Dordrecht as one of the oldest cities in the Netherlands.
For families with school-age children, the proximity to the city center and the practical layout of the apartment create conditions where daily routines can be managed efficiently. The listing mentions the dining table potentially serving multiple purposes throughout the day, from breakfast spot to homework station, illustrating how the space can adapt to different activities as the day progresses.
The ninth-floor location means that the apartment is elevated above street level, which can contribute to reduced noise from ground-level activities and potentially offer more privacy compared to ground-floor apartments. The presence of a lift ensures that the elevated position does not come at the cost of physical accessibility, making the apartment suitable for residents of all ages and mobility levels.
In summary, this apartment at Stadswerven De Hendrik offers a combination of modern construction, energy efficiency, practical layout, and convenient location. The 117 square meters of living space with two bedrooms and a southeast-facing balcony provides a comfortable home base, while the proximity to Dordrecht city center ensures that urban amenities remain easily accessible. The A++ energy label and district heating system contribute to lower ongoing costs and environmental sustainability, making this property suitable for buyers who value both comfort and efficiency in their new home.
