Description
This residence is a contemporary three room apartment located on the first floor of a well maintained building in the western part of Hilversum. The building was constructed in 1966 and has been upgraded with a lift and an intercom system, providing easy access for a broad range of occupants. The apartment is offered fully finished and ready for immediate occupation. The internal layout is organized around a central hallway that gives access to all living spaces. Upon entering the apartment, visitors encounter a spacious living and dining area that benefits from large windows and a modern laminate floor. Natural light fills the room, creating a bright and welcoming atmosphere. From this area a private balcony extends to the south, offering a pleasant outdoor space for relaxation or casual dining.
The kitchen is positioned adjacent to the living area and is equipped with a range of built in appliances. Included are a four burner induction hob, an extractor hood, a combined steam oven from Siemens, a refrigerator freezer unit, and connections for both a washing machine and a dryer. The kitchen finishes are clean and functional, supporting everyday cooking tasks. Two separate bedrooms are reachable from the hallway. The larger bedroom is situated on the side of the building that faces the interior gallery, while the second bedroom is located toward the rear of the apartment and also benefits from direct access to the balcony. Both rooms are generously sized and provide ample space for furniture arrangements.
The bathroom was completely renovated in 2025 and presents a modern aesthetic. It contains a vanity unit, a walk‑in shower, a designer radiator and a gas powered boiler that supplies hot water for the dwelling. A separate toilet is positioned near the hallway and shares the same contemporary styling as the bathroom. Throughout the apartment, built in spotlights have been installed. The lighting in the living area and the bedrooms is dimmable and can be controlled remotely, adding a layer of convenience and ambience.
Additional features of the property include a sizable storage room located in the basement, which is assigned to the apartment. The building’s service charges amount to €350 per month, and a separate contribution of €69.25 per month is allocated for district heating. The heating system is a block heating arrangement, and hot water is provided by a gas boiler that remains the responsibility of the owner. The apartment is offered with several high quality furnishings at no extra cost. These items comprise a 65 inch Samsung television, a corner sofa, a box spring bed, an AEG washing machine and the refrigerator freezer mentioned earlier. The inclusion of these items adds immediate value for a new owner.
The location of the apartment combines a tranquil residential setting with close proximity to a wide range of amenities. Shops, cafés, restaurants and other services are within walking distance, while the vibrant centre of Hilversum can be reached quickly by foot or by a short drive. For those who enjoy outdoor activities, the Corversbos forest and the Hoorneboegse heath lie nearby, providing opportunities for walking, cycling and relaxation in natural surroundings. The neighbourhood also contains schools, sports clubs and public transport connections, making daily life convenient for families and professionals alike. Major motorways such as the A1 and A27 are easily accessible, allowing straightforward travel to Amsterdam, Utrecht and Amersfoort.
Parking in Hilversum is managed through a paid parking zone and a permit system. Residents can obtain a parking permit for the surrounding area, which helps to ensure that a parking space is available close to the building. The building’s exterior includes a flat roof and a small balcony area of approximately seven square metres, which is counted as the private outdoor space for the apartment. The total usable floor area inside the dwelling is around seventy nine square metres, providing a comfortable amount of living space for a small family or a couple seeking extra rooms.
Energy performance details indicate that the property has partial double glazing and floor insulation, contributing to a reasonable level of thermal efficiency. The heating system is based on district heating, and hot water is supplied by a gas boiler owned by the apartment holder. The energy label is not explicitly stated, but the presence of insulation and double glazing suggests a moderate rating. The homeowners association maintains a reserve fund, an annual meeting, a maintenance plan and a building insurance policy, which together provide a structured management framework for the property.
In summary, this apartment offers a blend of modern interior finishes, functional amenities and a convenient location within Hilversum. The presence of a lift, intercom system, built in lighting, and included furnishings enhance the move‑in experience. The proximity to both urban services and natural recreation areas makes the address attractive for a variety of lifestyle preferences. Prospective buyers can arrange a viewing and discuss the handover schedule directly with the seller, as the completion date is flexible and can be coordinated to suit the buyer’s needs.
