Description
This property presents a unique opportunity to acquire a fully renovated and modern ground floor apartment situated right in the vibrant center of Arnhem. Designed with the first time buyer in mind, the home combines the charm of a historic building with contemporary comfort and efficiency. The location is exceptionally convenient, placing residents within walking distance of a wide array of amenities including trendy cafes, diverse restaurants, and various shops. The famous Korenmarkt, a central hub of social activity in the city, is literally around the corner, offering a dynamic urban lifestyle.
The apartment is part of a building dating back to 1860, which adds a significant layer of character and history to the residence. Despite its age, the interior has been completely updated to meet modern standards. The property is classified as a ground floor apartment, making it easily accessible for everyone, including those with mobility restrictions or the elderly. Being situated on the begane grond (ground floor) eliminates the need for climbing stairs daily, which is a practical feature for many residents.
Upon entering the home, one is immediately struck by the cohesive and stylish finish throughout the space. A key feature of the interior design is the visgraat laminaatvloer (herringbone laminate flooring) that runs through the entire apartment. This type of flooring is not only aesthetically pleasing and timeless but also durable and easy to maintain, making it ideal for a busy lifestyle. The layout is efficient, encompassing an entrance, an open kitchen, a living room, a bedroom, a bathroom, and a separate wasruimte/berging (laundry room/storage).
The kitchen is described as a luxury space, equipped with modern appliances designed for culinary enthusiasts. It features an inductie kookplaat (induction cooktop), which is a highly efficient and safe way to cook, offering precise temperature control and easy cleaning. The open nature of the kitchen allows for a seamless flow into the living area, creating a sociable atmosphere where one can cook and interact with guests or family members without feeling isolated.
The living room provides a comfortable space for relaxation and entertainment. Thanks to the recent renovation, the space feels fresh and ready for immediate occupancy. The natural light combined with the modern flooring creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. Adjacent to the living areas is the bedroom, which serves as a quiet retreat from the bustling city life outside. The presence of a dedicated separate bedroom is a significant advantage over studio apartments, offering privacy and a distinct separation between day and night areas.
The bathroom has been renovated to a high standard, featuring a strakke (sleek) design. It includes a royale inloopdouche (spacious walk-in shower), a toilet, and a wastafel (sink). The walk-in shower is a modern feature that enhances the feeling of space and luxury, providing a comfortable and accessible showering experience. The inclusion of a toilet within the bathroom adds to the convenience of the layout.
A significant aspect of this apartment is its technical sustainability. The property has achieved an Energielabel B, which is a respectable rating for a building from 1860. This has been made possible through a comprehensive renovation that included full isolation (volledig geïsoleerd). The apartment is entirely gasless (gasloos), utilizing infrared heating to keep the space warm. Infrared heating is known for providing a comfortable, even heat and can be more energy efficient than traditional radiators when paired with good insulation. The absence of gas not only reduces the carbon footprint of the home but also eliminates the need for gas connection charges and annual boiler maintenance checks, potentially leading to lower monthly utility costs.
Hot water is provided by a doorstroomboiler (flow-through boiler), which ensures that hot water is available on demand without the need for a large storage tank, saving valuable space. The property is also equipped with both mechanical and natural ventilation systems, ensuring a healthy indoor climate by allowing for the extraction of moist air and the influx of fresh air.
Practical storage needs are met by the inclusion of a wasruimte/berging. This space is essential for housing a washing machine and dryer, as well as storing personal items, keeping the main living areas clutter free. The apartment has a total living area of 58 square meters and a volume of 205 cubic meters, providing a compact yet efficient use of space.
While the building holds monumental status and is located in a protected cityscape (beschermd stads- of dorpsgezicht), the interior renovation ensures that modern living standards are met without compromising the external historical integrity of the structure. The roof is a samengesteld dak (composite roof) covered with bitumen and tiles, ensuring the property remains watertight.
For potential buyers, it is important to note the specifics of the Vereniging van Eigenaars (VvE), the homeowners association. The monthly contribution is relatively low at 15.78 euros. However, the checklist indicates that the VvE is not registered in the KvK (Chamber of Commerce), there is no annual meeting mentioned, no periodic contribution seems to be formally established beyond the monthly amount, and there is no reserve fund or maintenance plan present. This suggests an informal or dormant VvE, which is something to consider regarding future maintenance of the building's exterior and shared elements. The building does have opstalverzekering (building insurance), which is a positive factor.
Parking in the city center is managed through a system of paid parking, public parking, garages, and parking permits. Residents will need to rely on these options for vehicle storage. The location offers excellent accessibility to public transport and local amenities, reducing the reliance on a private car for daily errands.
The property is available for per direct beschikbaar (immediate acceptance), meaning the transition to ownership can be quick and smooth. With a asking price of 285.000 euro kosten koper, the price per square meter is approximately 4.914 euro, which reflects the prime location and the move in ready condition of the home. This apartment represents an excellent step onto the property ladder for those seeking a low maintenance, energy efficient home in the center of Arnhem, offering both the excitement of city life and the comfort of a modern, private sanctuary.
