Light Apartment with City Views and Two Bedrooms in the Heart of Apeldoorn
Key Features
Upsides
- Central location within walking distance of Apeldoorn Central Station, shops, restaurants, and cultural facilities, offering excellent urban convenience and connectivity.
- Energy label B for a 1963 building indicates that reasonable insulation improvements have been made, including double glazing, which helps keep energy costs manageable.
- The apartment has two proper bedrooms plus a flexible second room that can serve as a dining room, home office, or additional sleeping space, providing good layout versatility.
- The homeowners association is well organized with a reserve fund, maintenance plan, and building insurance in place, suggesting responsible management of the building.
- The balcony offers an open view over the city and surrounding green areas, and the nearby singels provide a pleasant escape from urban bustle within minutes.
Downsides
- The kitchen is described as needing modernization, which will require additional investment from the buyer to bring it up to contemporary standards.
- There is no private parking available, and residents must rely on public parking and parking permits, which can be challenging in a central city location.
- The monthly VvE contribution of 218 euros is relatively high and adds a significant ongoing cost to the property ownership.
- The building dates from 1963 and is a gallery flat, which typically means less privacy compared to closed-corridor apartments and may come with age-related maintenance considerations.
- The listing does not mention an elevator, and with the apartment on the third floor, this could be a concern for individuals with mobility limitations or when moving heavy items.
Description
This well laid out apartment is situated on the third floor at Stationsstraat 91 in the heart of Apeldoorn. With a living area of 76 square meters, the property offers a comfortable living space in a highly central location. The building dates back to 1963 and is classified as a gallery flat, which is a common apartment type in Dutch residential buildings from this period.
Upon entering through the shared entrance, residents reach the apartment on the third floor. The living room stands out due to its large windows that allow plenty of natural light to enter the space. This creates a bright and pleasant atmosphere throughout the main living area. From the living room, there is direct access to the balcony, which measures 5 square meters. The balcony offers an open view over the city and the surrounding green areas, providing a pleasant outdoor space for relaxation.
Adjacent to the living room, there is an additional room that offers flexibility in its use. This space can function as a dining room, a home office, or even serve as an extra bedroom depending on the needs of the residents. This versatility adds to the overall functionality of the apartment layout.
The kitchen is equipped with basic amenities including a gas cooktop, a built-in oven, and an extractor hood. The listing notes that the kitchen offers ample possibilities to be modernized entirely according to personal taste, which indicates that the current kitchen is functional but may benefit from updating to meet contemporary standards.
The master bedroom provides a pleasant view over the center of Apeldoorn. In addition to the master bedroom, there is a second bedroom that can serve various purposes such as a children's room, a guest room, or a hobby space. Having two bedrooms makes this apartment suitable for couples, small families, or individuals who require a separate workspace at home.
The bathroom is neatly finished and features a walk-in shower and a vanity unit. Additionally, there is a separate toilet, which is a practical feature for daily use.
The location of this apartment is one of its most notable characteristics. Situated within walking distance of Apeldoorn Central Station, residents benefit from excellent connectivity to other cities and regions. The city center with its shops, restaurants, and cultural facilities is also within easy reach on foot. At the same time, the scenic singels (canal ring roads) and green areas surrounding the city center are only a few minutes walk away, offering a pleasant combination of urban vibrancy and tranquility.
In terms of energy efficiency, the apartment has been assigned energy label B, which is a relatively good rating for a building from 1963. This indicates that certain insulation measures have been taken over the years. The property features double glazing, contributing to its energy performance. Heating and hot water are provided by a gas-fired central heating boiler that is owned by the property owner.
The property includes an external storage space of 7 square meters, which is useful for storing bicycles, luggage, or other belongings. The building has a flat roof, which is typical for apartment buildings of this construction period.
The apartment is part of an active homeowners association (VvE) that is registered with the Chamber of Commerce (KvK). The VvE holds annual meetings and collects a periodic contribution of 218 euros per month. A reserve fund is present, and there is a maintenance plan in place. The building is also covered by building insurance. These factors indicate a well-organized and properly maintained residential complex.
Parking is available through public parking facilities and parking permits, as there is no private parking associated with the apartment. This is typical for properties in the center of a city like Apeldoorn.
The asking price for this apartment is 285,000 euros, which translates to approximately 3,750 euros per square meter of living space. The property is offered with a buyer's cost obligation (kosten koper), meaning that additional costs such as transfer tax and notary fees are borne by the buyer. The acceptance terms are to be negotiated.
The apartment is connected to a fiberglass cable network for internet and telecommunications. Natural ventilation is present in the property. The cadastral designation is APELDOORN AA 2767, and the property is held in full ownership.
In summary, this apartment on Stationsstraat 91 offers a combination of a practical layout with two bedrooms, a central location with excellent accessibility, and participation in a well-managed homeowners association. The property requires some modernization, particularly in the kitchen area, but provides a solid foundation for creating a comfortable home in one of Apeldoorn's most convenient locations.
