Modern Three-Room Apartment with Private Parking in Nijmegen
Key Features
Upsides
- Energy label A++ indicating excellent energy efficiency with comprehensive insulation throughout the building, resulting in lower monthly energy costs.
- Private parking space and 7m² storage unit included with the apartment, which is a significant advantage in urban Nijmegen where parking can be difficult to find.
- Sunny 7m² balcony accessible from the living room, providing outdoor space for relaxation and dining.
- Quiet residential location with excellent amenities and connectivity, including easy access to Nijmegen city center, supermarkets, schools, and major highways A73 and A50.
Downsides
- VvE contribution of €156.55 per month is relatively high and adds to the monthly housing costs.
- Price per square meter of €5,114 is above average for the Nijmegen area, making this a premium-priced apartment.
- Only two bedrooms which limits the long-term flexibility for growing families or those needing additional rooms.
- Despite the A++ energy label, the property still uses a gas-fired heating system, meaning it is not fully sustainable or future-proof as the Netherlands moves toward gas-free living.
Description
Located on the quiet Toos Korvezeepad in Nijmegen, this well-maintained three-room apartment offers approximately 88 square meters of living space on the second floor. The property features a bright living room, two bedrooms, a sunny balcony measuring about 7 square meters, and comes with a private parking space and storage unit in the basement. This apartment presents an ideal living situation for starters, singles, or couples looking for comfortable living with all amenities within easy reach.
Upon entering the building, you are welcomed by a shared entrance with high ceilings. The hallway provides access to the stairwell, elevators, and mailboxes, creating a pleasant first impression of the building. The presence of an elevator ensures the apartment is accessible to residents of all ages and physical abilities.
The interior layout has been thoughtfully designed to maximize living comfort. Entering the apartment itself, you arrive in the hallway which provides access to two bedrooms, a separate toilet room, a practical storage room housing the central heating boiler and heat recovery system, and the modern bathroom. The bathroom has been fully finished and includes a sink, toilet, and walk-in shower. The separate toilet room adds convenience, especially when the apartment is occupied by multiple residents or when guests are visiting.
The bright living room forms the heart of the apartment and is in open connection with the kitchen. This open layout creates a spacious feeling and allows natural light to flow freely through the space. The kitchen is equipped with various built-in appliances, including a dishwasher from 2021, an extractor hood, combi oven, induction cooktop, freezer, and refrigerator. From the living room, you have access to the balcony of approximately 7 square meters, where you can enjoy the fresh air and outdoor living. At 7 square meters, the balcony is large enough to accommodate a small table with chairs, making it suitable for outdoor dining or simply enjoying a morning coffee.
In addition to the apartment itself, there is a private storage unit of approximately 7 square meters and a private parking space in the basement. Having a designated parking spot is a significant advantage in urban areas where parking can often be challenging and expensive. The storage unit offers additional space for items such as bicycles, seasonal decorations, sports equipment, or garden furniture, helping to keep the living space organized and clutter-free.
The apartment is situated in a quiet and modern residential environment with plenty of greenery and various amenities within easy reach. In the immediate vicinity, you will find supermarkets, shops, schools, sports facilities, and dining establishments. Additionally, there are various walking and cycling opportunities nearby, allowing you to enjoy both tranquility and liveliness in this area.
The accessibility is excellent. The center of Nijmegen is easily reachable by bicycle or public transport, and the arterial roads to the A73 and A50 are also a short distance away. Nijmegen is known as the oldest city in the Netherlands and offers a rich cultural scene, excellent educational institutions, and a vibrant city center with numerous shops, restaurants, and entertainment options.
The apartment building was constructed in 2013, which means it features modern building techniques and standards. The property has a flat roof covered with bituminous roofing material. One of the most notable features of this apartment is its energy label A++, indicating excellent energy efficiency. The building features comprehensive insulation including roof insulation, wall insulation, floor insulation, and is fully insulated throughout. This not only benefits the environment but also results in lower monthly expenses for the resident.
The heating is provided by an Intergas gas-fired combi boiler from 2013, which is owned by the property. There is a balanced ventilation system with heat recovery, contributing to both energy efficiency and indoor air quality. This sophisticated system continuously exchanges stale indoor air with fresh outdoor air while recovering the heat from the outgoing air, resulting in better indoor air quality without significant energy loss.
The apartment has a volume of 280 cubic meters and features modern amenities including fiber optic cable for fast and reliable internet access, natural ventilation options, sliding doors to the balcony, and TV cable connections.
The property is part of an active homeowners association that is registered with the Chamber of Commerce. The association holds annual meetings, has a maintenance plan in place, maintains a reserve fund, and has building insurance. The monthly VvE contribution is approximately 156.55 euros, which covers the shared costs and maintenance of the building and common areas. The presence of a reserve fund and maintenance plan indicates that the VvE is well-organized and proactive about building maintenance, which helps prevent unexpected special assessments.
The two bedrooms offer flexibility in how the space is used. One can serve as the main bedroom while the other can function as a home office, guest room, or hobby space. This makes the apartment suitable for various lifestyle needs and can adapt as circumstances change over time.
The asking price is 450,000 euros, which translates to approximately 5,114 euros per square meter. The property is offered with a cost buyer arrangement, meaning the buyer is responsible for transfer taxes and notary fees. The acceptance is in consultation, allowing for flexible move-in dates to be discussed. This price point should be considered in the context of the current Dutch housing market, where prices have risen significantly in recent years, particularly in desirable cities like Nijmegen. The A++ energy label, private parking, and storage all add value that should be factored into any comparison with similar properties.
For daily necessities, the immediate neighborhood provides everything needed. Supermarkets for grocery shopping, schools for families with children, and sports facilities for the active resident are all within walking or cycling distance. The presence of green spaces and walking paths adds to the quality of life in this area, making it possible to enjoy nature without leaving the neighborhood.
The building itself dates from 2013, meaning that many components are still relatively new and have years of service life remaining. The technical installations, including the central heating boiler and heat recovery system, are housed in a practical storage room in the hallway, keeping them out of sight and contributing to the clean and organized appearance of the living spaces.
