Description
This inviting apartment is located on the first floor of a well maintained building in the Oostgaarde district of Capelle aan den IJssel. The property is situated along the binnenring, which offers a good balance between accessibility and a residential living environment. One of the most prominent features of this home is the expansive terrace. Measuring approximately forty square meters and facing southwest, this outdoor space provides ample room for outdoor dining, lounging, and gardening, while enjoying the sun for a large part of the day.
Access to the apartment is provided through a modern central main entrance equipped with a video intercom system and a lift, ensuring easy and secure entry. The building includes a basement where a private storage unit is available for the residents use. Additionally, the property comes with the convenience of a private covered parking space, number 45, situated in a locked parking garage with an automatic door. This feature is highly valued in this residential area, providing a secure spot for your vehicle.
Upon entering the apartment, you arrive in an entrance hall that grants access to the various living spaces. Here you will find the meter cupboard and the technical room. The technical installations are modern and up to date. The central heating boiler is an Intergas HRE 36/30 A model installed in 2026. The property also features a heat recovery ventilation system, which was renewed in 2026. These installations contribute to the energy efficiency of the home, resulting in an energy label A.
The living room is spacious and light, thanks to large windows that allow plenty of natural light to enter.

The bathroom is fitted with a shower, a double vanity unit, and a connection for a washing machine. A separate toilet room with a fountain is located next to the bathroom, adding to the convenience of the layout.
The apartment is fully fitted with aluminum window frames with double glazing, specifically HR++ glass, which ensures good insulation and sound reduction. The building dates back to 1977, but the apartment itself is in a move in ready condition. The property is located on its own land, so there is no ground lease to consider. The active Homeowners Association manages the building, and the monthly contribution is approximately 205 euros. This contribution covers the maintenance of the common areas and the building, ensuring a well kept living environment.
The location of the apartment is very convenient for daily living. The shopping center De Terp is in the immediate vicinity, offering a wide range of shops for daily groceries and other services. Public transport options, including bus and metro, are also nearby, providing excellent connections to the surrounding areas, including Rotterdam. For those traveling by car, the A16 and A20 highways are easily accessible, making this a practical base for commuters. The neighborhood itself is green and pleasant, with the recreation and nature area Hitland close by, as well as the s Gravenweg area, which features several golf courses.
This property offers a comfortable and ready to live in home in a popular residential area. With its large terrace, private parking, and three good bedrooms, it caters well to the needs of individuals, couples, or small families looking for a combination of comfort and convenience. The modern technical installations and energy efficiency add to the appeal of this apartment, making it a solid choice in the current housing market.
