Ready-to-move 2-room apartment with west-facing balcony on the 8th floor

This well-finished two-room apartment is situated on the eighth floor of a residential complex at Vliestroom in the Stromenbuurt neighborhood of Alphen aan den Rijn. The property is particularly suitable for first-time buyers looking for a move-in ready home in a central location with excellent accessibility to major cities in the Randstad region.

The apartment building features a tidy entrance hall on the ground floor equipped with mailboxes and an intercom system. Residents have access to both a stairwell and two elevators. The communal areas are neatly tiled and fitted with both indoor and outdoor lighting, contributing to a safe and well-maintained appearance of the building.

A private storage unit is located on the first floor of the complex. This storage space measures 2.33 by 2.40 meters, providing ample room for bicycles, luggage, or seasonal items. The layout of the building allows residents to easily walk their bicycles from street level to the storage area via a sloped section alongside the stairs.

The apartment itself is reached via the gallery on the eighth floor. Upon entering through the front door, you step into the entrance hall where the meter cupboard is located. From here, you have direct access to the surprisingly spacious living room.

The living room stands out for its generous proportions relative to the overall size of the apartment. The floor is finished with quality laminate and the walls are neatly decorated. A large window section allows plenty of natural light to enter the space, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere. At the rear of the living room, you can access the balcony, which faces west. This orientation means you can enjoy the afternoon and evening sun, making it an ideal spot for relaxation after a working day. The balcony also offers a wide and open view over the surroundings.

The kitchen is positioned on the gallery side of the apartment and presents itself in a tidy condition. The kitchen was installed around 2016 and features a straight layout. The worktop is made of synthetic material with a wood-like appearance and includes a sink. The kitchen is equipped with a four-burner gas cooktop, an extractor hood, an oven, and a refrigerator-freezer combination. On the opposite side of the kitchen, an additional worktop has been installed with space underneath for a washing machine and dryer. This arrangement provides practical extra space that can be used for a coffee corner or to place kitchen appliances.

From the living room, a second hallway provides access to a practical storage closet, the bathroom, and the bedroom. The bedroom is situated on the balcony side of the apartment and is finished with the same laminate flooring and neat wall finish as the rest of the home. There is sufficient space for a double bed and a wardrobe.

The bathroom is also neatly finished with predominantly white tiles accented with blue details. The bathroom includes a walk-in shower, a vanity unit with sink, and a wall-hung toilet. This configuration makes efficient use of the available space while providing all essential bathroom facilities.

The apartment has a total living area of 63 square meters. The balcony adds an additional 6 square meters of outdoor space, while the external storage contributes 5 square meters. The total volume of the apartment is 206 cubic meters.

In terms of energy efficiency, the property has been assigned energy label C. The windows feature partial double glazing. Heating is provided through a block heating system, and hot water is supplied through a central facility. Residents pay a monthly advance of 83 euros for the use of the collective hot water and heating system.

The building dates from 1971 and has a flat roof covered with bituminous roofing material. The property is delivered in full ownership.

The location of this apartment is one of its strong points. The complex is situated in a central position in Alphen aan den Rijn. The extensive shopping center De Herenhof is located virtually across the street, offering a wide range of shops and amenities for daily needs. A bus stop is within walking distance, providing good public transport connections. For car owners, the main roads to Utrecht, Amsterdam, and Rotterdam are easily accessible. From this location, you can reach all major cities in the Randstad within approximately thirty minutes.

Parking around the complex is available on public roads. The building is connected to both fiber optic and TV cables, ensuring modern telecommunications options are available to residents.

As is customary with apartment purchases, the buyer automatically becomes a member of the Homeowners Association upon acquisition. The monthly VvE contribution for this apartment is 242.71 euros in total, consisting of 218.44 euros for the apartment and 24.27 euros for the storage unit. The VvE is properly organized with registration at the Chamber of Commerce, holds annual meetings, maintains a reserve fund, has a maintenance plan in place, and has arranged building insurance.

The acceptance date of the property is to be agreed upon with the seller, providing flexibility for the buyer's moving schedule.

This apartment offers a combination of a practical layout, a neat finish, a pleasant outdoor space with afternoon sun, and a highly accessible location. The property is ready for immediate occupation and requires no renovation or major improvements, making it an attractive option for those entering the housing market for the first time or for anyone seeking a low-maintenance home in a convenient location.
