Spacious 3-Room Apartment with Sunny Southwest Balcony
Key Features
Upsides
- Energy Label A rating with full insulation ensures low energy costs and a comfortable indoor climate throughout the year.
- The spacious southwest-facing balcony of approximately 13.5 square meters provides excellent sun exposure during afternoons and evenings, creating an ideal outdoor living space.
- The recently installed central heating boiler from 2024 is owned by the current owner and will transfer with the property, offering reliability and no additional acquisition costs.
- The low monthly VvE contribution of 80 euros is quite reasonable for an apartment in this price range.
- The small-scale complex with only three apartments ensures a quiet and intimate living environment with fewer shared space concerns.
Downsides
- The second bedroom measures only 7.5 square meters, which may be too small for use as a full bedroom for adults or older children.
- There is no private parking space available, with only public parking in the vicinity.
- The VvE is not registered with the Chamber of Commerce and has no formal maintenance plan in place, which could raise concerns about long-term property management.
- The open kitchen layout may not appeal to buyers who prefer a separate, enclosed kitchen space.
- The bathroom combines the shower, toilet, and washbasin in one space without separation, which some buyers may find less desirable than a layout with separate toilet facilities.
Description
This three-room apartment is situated in a small-scale residential complex consisting of only three apartments in total, offering a pleasant and intimate living environment. The property is located on the first floor and is accessible via a shared entrance equipped with an intercom system and individual mailboxes for each unit.
Upon entering the apartment, you are welcomed by a spacious hallway that provides access to all the rooms in the residence. This practical layout ensures efficient use of the available space and creates a natural flow throughout the apartment. The hallway serves as the central point from which all living areas can be reached.
The living room is bright and features an open kitchen design, creating a sense of spaciousness and connectivity. The open layout allows for flexible furnishing options, with ample room to accommodate both a comfortable seating area and a dining section. This arrangement makes the living room highly adaptable to various lifestyle preferences and furnishing styles. Natural light enters the space, contributing to an inviting atmosphere.
One of the standout features of this apartment is the generous balcony, measuring approximately 13.5 square meters, which faces southwest. This orientation ensures plenty of sunlight throughout the afternoon and evening hours, making it an ideal spot for outdoor relaxation, entertaining guests, or simply enjoying a quiet moment. The balcony is accessible through sliding doors from the living room, creating a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living spaces.
The apartment contains two bedrooms, providing comfortable accommodation for residents. The main bedroom measures approximately 15 square meters, offering sufficient space for a double bed and additional furniture such as wardrobes or a desk. The second bedroom spans approximately 7.5 square meters, making it versatile in its potential use. This smaller room can serve as a guest bedroom, a home office, a nursery, or additional storage space depending on the needs of the occupants.
The bathroom is efficiently designed and includes a shower, a toilet, and a washbasin. This compact yet functional arrangement ensures that all essential bathroom facilities are conveniently located in one space.
Additionally, the apartment includes an internal storage room that houses the central heating boiler and provides a connection point for a washing machine. The central heating boiler is a Vaillant ECO Fit Pro gas-fired combination boiler that was installed in 2024 and is owned by the property owner, meaning it will transfer to the new owner without any additional costs. This recent installation provides peace of mind regarding the reliability and efficiency of the heating system.
On the ground floor, at the rear of the complex, there is a separate external storage unit belonging to this apartment. This additional space is particularly useful for storing bicycles, garden furniture, or other items that may not be needed on a daily basis.
The property benefits from an Energy Label A rating, indicating excellent energy efficiency. This high rating is achieved through full insulation of the building, which helps to reduce energy consumption and associated costs. The combination of good insulation and a modern, efficient heating system contributes to lower monthly energy expenses.
The apartment features mechanical ventilation, ensuring a constant supply of fresh air throughout the residence without the need to open windows. This system helps maintain a healthy indoor climate and reduces the risk of moisture-related issues.
The building was constructed in 2004 and features a flat roof. The total living area measures 61 square meters, while the building-bound outdoor space (the balcony) accounts for 14 square meters. The external storage adds another 7 square meters of usable space. The total volume of the apartment is 202 cubic meters.
The property is part of a small-scale Homeowners Association (VvE) with monthly contributions of approximately 80 euros. The VvE has a reserve fund in place and building insurance is arranged through the association. It should be noted that the VvE is not registered with the Chamber of Commerce (KvK), and there is no formal maintenance plan in place.
The location of this apartment is described as favorable, with proximity to shops, public transportation, and sports facilities. This convenient positioning allows residents to easily access daily necessities and recreational opportunities without requiring extensive travel. The property is situated in a residential neighborhood, providing a peaceful living environment while maintaining good connections to surrounding amenities.
Parking is available on public roads in the vicinity of the complex. There is no designated private parking space associated with this apartment.
The property is offered at an asking price of 395,000 euros, which translates to approximately 6,475 euros per square meter of living space. The property is available for transfer by mutual agreement regarding the completion date. The ownership situation is full ownership, and the property is located in the municipality of Haarlemmermeer.
This apartment presents itself as a practical and well-maintained residence suitable for individuals, couples, or small families seeking a comfortable home with outdoor space in a convenient location. The combination of a generous southwest-facing balcony, modern heating installation, and energy-efficient construction makes this property an attractive option in the current housing market.
