Move-in Ready Renovated Apartment in Doetinchem Center
Key Features
Upsides
- The apartment was completely renovated in 2024, including a modern kitchen with Bora cooktop and a new bathroom, making it fully move-in ready without any additional work required.
- The central location in Doetinchem puts shops, supermarkets, restaurants, and public transportation within walking distance, while the A18 and A12 highways are easily accessible for commuting.
- The property has good energy efficiency with energy label B, comprehensive insulation (roof, walls, floors, HR-glass windows), and a new 2024 owned combination boiler, which should result in reasonable energy costs.
- The practical layout includes two proper bedrooms with roller shutters and an open living area with space for a large dining table, providing good functionality for the 88 square meter size.
- The VvE is well-organized with a reserve fund, annual meetings, and building insurance in place, indicating proper management of the building.
Downsides
- There is no elevator in the building, which means residents must use the stairs to reach the second-floor apartment. This could be a concern for elderly buyers or those with mobility issues.
- Parking in the area consists only of paid parking, public parking, and parking permits. There is no private parking space or garage included with the property.
- The storage attic is only accessible via a pull-down ladder (vlizotrap), which is less convenient than a permanent staircase and may limit practical use of this storage space.
- The building dates from 1953, and despite renovations, the fundamental structure and potential noise transmission between units in older apartment buildings may be a consideration for some buyers.
- No outdoor space such as a balcony or garden is mentioned in the listing, which means residents will not have private outdoor area associated with the apartment.
Description
This apartment is located in the center of Doetinchem, a city situated in the heart of the Achterhoek region. Doetinchem is the largest city in this area and offers a wide range of amenities including shops, supermarkets, restaurants, and cultural activities. The property has been completely renovated in 2024, making it fully move-in ready for prospective buyers.
The apartment has a living area of approximately 88 square meters and a volume of 285 cubic meters. It is classified as an existing build property, originally constructed in 1953, but has been brought up to modern standards through the recent renovation. The property is located on the second floor of the building, and it is important to note that there is no elevator present in the building.
Upon entering the property, a staircase leads up to the main living floor. The living room features an open kitchen layout, creating a spacious and connected living area. The floors throughout are finished with a herringbone pattern PVC floor, and the walls and ceilings have been neatly finished, giving the space a well-maintained and modern appearance.
The open kitchen is equipped with a cooking island, which includes a Bora cooktop with integrated extraction system. This type of cooktop eliminates the need for a traditional range hood, contributing to the clean and streamlined look of the kitchen. Additional kitchen appliances include a dishwasher, refrigerator, and combination oven. The layout provides sufficient space for placing a large dining table, making it suitable for both daily meals and entertaining guests.
At the rear of the apartment, there are two full-sized bedrooms. Both bedrooms are equipped with rolluiken (roller shutters), which provide light control and additional insulation. The exact dimensions of the bedrooms are not specified, but they are described as spacious.
The bathroom has been modernized as part of the 2024 renovation and features natural light through a window. It is equipped with a double sink and a walk-in shower. Adjacent to the bathroom, there is a separate toilet and a connection point for washing appliances. This practical layout keeps the laundry utilities accessible but separate from the main living areas.
Additional storage space is available in the form of a storage attic located above the apartment. This attic is accessible via a vlizotrap (pull-down ladder), which is a common solution for attic access in this type of property. While functional, this type of access may not be as convenient as a permanent staircase.
The property has an energy label B, indicating a reasonably good level of energy efficiency. The building has been insulated in multiple areas including the roof, walls, and floors. The windows feature double glazing and HR-glass (high-efficiency glass), which helps with thermal performance. The heating and hot water are provided by a gas-fired combination boiler, specifically an Intergas HRE model installed in 2024. This boiler is owned by the property, not rented.
The apartment is part of a homeowners association (VvE). The monthly VvE contribution is 75 euros. According to the listing, the VvE is registered with the Chamber of Commerce, holds annual meetings, has a reserve fund, and has building insurance in place. However, there is no maintenance plan currently in place.
Parking in the area consists of paid parking, public parking, and parking permits. There is no private parking or garage included with the property.
The location in the center of Doetinchem provides easy access to various amenities. The city center with its shops and restaurants is within walking distance. Public transportation, including bus stops and the train station, are located nearby. For car travel, the A18 and A12 highways are easily accessible, and there are good connections to surrounding villages and cities.
The asking price for this property is 295,000 euros, which is subject to buyer's costs (kosten koper). This translates to approximately 3,352 euros per square meter of living space. The property is offered with acceptance in consultation (in overleg), and the seller requires a bank guarantee or deposit of 10 percent of the purchase price.
The property is offered as fully furnished (gestoffeerd), though the specific items included in this furnishing are not detailed in the listing. The property also has fiber optic cable and TV cable connections available, as well as mechanical ventilation and a skylight (dakraam).
In summary, this apartment offers a turnkey solution for buyers looking for a modern, renovated property in a central location. The 2024 renovation has updated all major components including the kitchen, bathroom, and heating system. The practical layout with two bedrooms and an open living area makes it suitable for various demographics, from young professionals to small households. The central location provides convenience in terms of daily shopping and transportation, though buyers should consider the absence of an elevator and the parking situation in the area.
