Light and comfortable apartment in charming Oud-Rijswijk

This apartment is situated on the edge of the charming Old Rijswijk area, offering a living environment characterized by light, comfort, and a surprising level of completeness. The property is located within a small-scale and well-maintained apartment complex, positioned on the popular border of Oud-Rijswijk. This location provides a pleasant living environment where comfort, natural light, and tranquility come together, making it particularly suitable for those seeking a move-in ready home with all conveniences within easy reach.

Access to the complex is through a closed entrance hall (portiek) equipped with mailboxes and an intercom panel. Residents can reach the first floor either by taking the stairs or using the lift. From the gallery on the first floor, you enter the apartment directly. This setup provides a practical and secure entry point to the building.

Upon entering the apartment, you arrive in the hallway, which serves as the central access point to all rooms in the residence. The hallway houses the meter cupboard (meterkast), providing access to the utilities. Also located in the hallway is a separate toilet, offering privacy and convenience for residents and guests alike. The bathroom is accessible from the hallway as well and is practically and completely arranged. It features a shower, a washbasin, and a connection point for a washing machine. This layout ensures that daily routines can be carried out efficiently without the need to move through multiple spaces.

The kitchen is positioned at the front of the apartment and presents itself as a neat and functional space. It is equipped with a four-burner gas stove, a dishwasher, and a refrigerator. The installation location of the central heating boiler (CV ketel) is also situated in the kitchen. The boiler is a Remeha model from 2022, which means it is relatively new and should provide reliable heating and hot water for the coming years. The kitchen layout allows for practical meal preparation while maintaining a connection to the rest of the living space.

The bedroom is also located at the front of the apartment and offers ample space for a comfortable bed and additional wardrobe space. A notable feature of the bedroom is the generous built-in closet with sliding doors. This closet contributes to a tidy and organized appearance in the room, as personal items and clothing can be stored out of sight. The sliding door mechanism saves space compared to traditional hinged doors, making the room feel more spacious.

The rear section of the apartment forms the heart of the home: a spacious living and dining room that benefits from abundant natural light thanks to the large window sections. This area provides a pleasant space for relaxation or receiving guests. The layout allows for distinct zones for sitting and dining, making the most of the available square meters. From the living room, there is direct access to the sunny balcony, where residents can enjoy the outdoors in a peaceful setting. The balcony adds valuable outdoor living space to the apartment, which is particularly appreciated during warmer months.

The apartment is fitted with plastic window frames (kunststof kozijnen) with double glazing throughout. This combination contributes to good insulation and reduces maintenance requirements, as plastic frames do not need to be painted and are resistant to weather conditions. The double glazing helps to keep energy costs manageable and improves overall comfort by reducing drafts and noise from outside.

In the basement of the building, the apartment comes with its own storage box (bergbox) that has electricity connected. This additional space is ideal for storing items that are not needed on a daily basis, such as seasonal decorations, sports equipment, or bicycles. Additionally, there is a communal bicycle storage area (fietsenkelder) available for all residents of the complex. Parking facilities are also provided, with space for one car on the closed and secured terrain of the complex. This is a valuable feature in urban areas where on-street parking can be limited or require permits.

The apartment has a total living area of approximately 52 square meters, with an additional 3 square meters of outdoor space in the form of the balcony. The external storage space measures 5 square meters. The total volume of the apartment is 166 cubic meters. These dimensions indicate a compact but well-arranged living space that makes efficient use of the available area.

The building dates from 1965 and features a flat roof covered with bituminous roofing material. Given the age of the building, the purchase agreement will include the standard clauses regarding age and materials (ouderdoms- en materialenclausule). This is common practice for older properties and serves to inform buyers that certain elements may show signs of wear consistent with the age of the building.

The Homeowners Association (Vereniging van Eigenaren, VvE) is active and well-organized. The monthly contribution is approximately 158.60 euros. The VvE is registered with the Chamber of Commerce (KvK), holds annual meetings, collects periodic contributions, maintains a reserve fund, has a maintenance plan in place, and has building insurance arranged. These elements indicate a professionally managed and financially healthy VvE, which is important for the long-term maintenance and value retention of the property.

The property has been assigned energy label D. While this is not the most favorable rating, the presence of double glazing and a relatively new central heating boiler from 2022 suggests that some energy efficiency measures have been implemented. Future owners may wish to consider additional insulation measures to improve the energy rating further.

The apartment is located on a quiet road within a residential area, contributing to a peaceful living environment. The surrounding neighborhood of Oud-Rijswijk is known for its charming character and pleasant atmosphere. The location offers a balance between the tranquility of a residential area and the convenience of having amenities within reach.

This apartment is particularly well-suited for starters, single persons, or as a pied-à-terre for those who occasionally stay in the region. The combination of a practical layout, modern amenities such as the lift and recent boiler, and the attractive location makes this a property worth considering for buyers entering the housing market or downsizing.
