Description
This spacious and move-in ready four-room apartment is situated on a central location in the desirable Heseveld district of Nijmegen. Offering a generous living experience, the property features two balconies, a practical storage unit in the basement, and three full bedrooms. The location on the first floor provides a good balance between accessibility and privacy. With the city center, shops, schools, and public transport all within easy reach, this home presents an excellent combination of comfortable living and the convenience of daily amenities close at hand.
The neighborhood of Heseveld is renowned as a green and popular residential environment on the west side of Nijmegen. Residents enjoy the proximity to a wide range of local amenities. In the direct vicinity, one finds various supermarkets and shops for daily groceries, ensuring that errands can be completed with ease. Families will appreciate the presence of elementary schools in the neighborhood, as well as sports facilities and medical care providers. Connectivity is a key feature of this location. The center of Nijmegen, the central train station, and various arterial roads are easily accessible. Bus stops are just a short walk away, offering excellent connections to the city center and surrounding districts. For those who enjoy the outdoors, the area offers plenty of recreational opportunities. Several parks and green spaces are located nearby, making it easy to go for a walk, practice sports, or simply relax in nature.
The building itself dates back to 1959 and is classified as a gallery flat. Upon entering the building, one reaches the central entrance with mailboxes and access to the staircase. A significant advantage of this apartment is the private storage located in the basement. This space measures approximately 9 square meters and is ideal for storing bicycles or stowing away seasonal items, helping to keep the living quarters clutter-free.
The apartment itself is located on the first floor. The internal entrance leads into a central hall that provides access to all rooms in the house. The layout is efficient and practical. The heart of the home is the spacious and bright living-dining room combined with an open kitchen. Thanks to the large window sections and the thoughtful arrangement, there is ample space for a comfortable sitting area as well as a cozy dining corner. The living room offers a pleasant view of the surroundings, allowing plenty of natural light to flood the space.
The modern open corner kitchen is equipped with a practical countertop, various built-in appliances, and sufficient storage options, making cooking a pleasure. A distinct feature of the kitchen is the direct access to the rear balcony. This outdoor space serves as a lovely spot to enjoy the morning sun or a quiet moment outdoors. On the balcony, there is a storage cupboard that houses the washing machine connection, cleverly utilizing the space to keep laundry facilities out of the main living area.
The apartment boasts a second balcony as well. The spacious master bedroom at the front of the property has direct access to a side balcony, providing another private outdoor area for residents to enjoy. This setup allows for flexible outdoor living, whether one wishes to sit in the sun or find a shaded spot.
The sanitary facilities are modern and well-maintained. The neat bathroom is fitted with a walk-in shower and a vanity unit. A separate toilet room is also accessible via the hall, adding to the convenience for daily use. This separation is a practical feature for households.
The apartment contains three bedrooms in total, making it highly versatile. The large master bedroom is located at the front of the apartment and features direct access to the side balcony. This room is generously proportioned and offers a comfortable retreat. A second bedroom is also situated at the front, which can serve perfectly as a children's room, guest room, or home office. The third bedroom is located on the side of the apartment, again offering flexibility for use as a bedroom or workspace. This room configuration makes the property suitable for families, couples working from home, or individuals who require extra space for hobbies.
Technically, the apartment is in good condition. The living area is approximately 71 square meters, with 1 square meter of other indoor space and 7 square meters of external balcony space. The property has an energy label D, which reflects the presence of roof insulation and double glazing. While the building is from 1959, these features contribute to the comfort of the home. Heating and hot water are provided by a central heating boiler from the brand ATAG. This is a gas-fired combi-boiler installed in 2022 and is owned by the property, ensuring efficient and reliable heating for years to come. The property is also equipped with mechanical ventilation.
The property is part of an active Homeowners Association. The monthly contribution is 141 euros. The VvE is professionally organized, with registration at the Chamber of Commerce, annual general meetings, periodic contributions, a reserve fund, a maintenance plan, and building insurance. This structured management ensures that the common areas and the building as a whole are well-maintained, contributing to the long-term value of the property. Parking is available on public roads in the area.
In summary, this apartment in Heseveld offers a comfortable and practical living solution. With its three bedrooms, two balconies, modern kitchen and bathroom, and private storage, it caters to a wide range of housing needs. The central location near shops, schools, and public transport, combined with the green surroundings, makes it a desirable place to live. The recent installation of the central heating boiler and the active VvE add to the peace of mind for potential buyers.
