Luxury Penthouse with Panoramic River Views in Arnhem
Key Features
Upsides
- Exceptional panoramic views over the Neder-Rijn and Meinerswijk nature reserve that cannot be obstructed, providing a permanent connection to the natural surroundings.
- Premium specifications including a custom Martin van Essen kitchen with high-end Miele and Gaggenau appliances, natural stone and marble finishes, and a sophisticated domotica system controlling the home.
- Two private parking spaces in the underground garage with dedicated electric vehicle charging stations, which is particularly valuable in a city center location.
- Extensive outdoor living space with 40 square meters of terraces, including one terrace equipped with an electrically operated louvered roof, heating, and screens for year-round use.
- Comprehensive building amenities including a shared fitness room and Finnish sauna, enhancing the overall lifestyle offering of the property.
Downsides
- The monthly VvE service costs of 654.48 euros are relatively high and represent a significant ongoing expense that potential buyers should factor into their budget.
- With only two bedrooms despite 202 square meters of living space, the layout may not suit buyers seeking a family home with multiple bedrooms, as much of the space is dedicated to living areas.
- The energy label B rating indicates that while the property has full insulation, it does not achieve the highest energy efficiency standards that might be expected at this price point.
- The fourth floor location means residents are dependent on the elevator for access, which could be inconvenient during maintenance or in case of elevator malfunction.
- The property is located in a building from 1996, and despite the 2017 renovation of the penthouse itself, the underlying structure and common areas reflect the original construction period.
