Description
Welcome to Vrieheidepark 119, located in the city of Heerlen in the Netherlands. This apartment is situated on the tenth floor of a well maintained apartment complex and offers a generous living area of approximately 99 square meters. The elevated position provides residents with a beautiful panoramic view over the surrounding area on a daily basis, combined with abundant natural light and a comfortable layout.
The apartment features a spacious living room with an adjoining dining room that also functions as a winter garden. This combination creates a pleasant living space where the large windows allow plenty of daylight to enter and offer an impressive view of Heerlen and the surrounding landscape. The winter garden is particularly noteworthy as it provides a comfortable spot to enjoy the view throughout the entire year, regardless of the season.
The kitchen is described as simple but neat, set up as an extension kitchen equipped with a gas cooktop, extractor hood, and refrigerator. While the kitchen is functional and well maintained, it has a straightforward design that leaves room for personal customization should the new owner wish to make modifications according to their own taste and preferences.
The apartment contains two well proportioned bedrooms. The first bedroom measures approximately 14 square meters and includes a built in closet, providing practical storage space for clothing and personal belongings. The second bedroom measures approximately 10 square meters and offers flexibility in its use, whether as a bedroom, home office, or guest room. Both bedrooms feature laminate flooring that runs continuously from the living room, creating a cohesive and unified appearance throughout the apartment.
The bathroom has been recently renovated and is fully tiled. It is equipped with a comfortable walk in shower, a washbasin, and connections for a washing machine. This recent renovation ensures that the bathroom meets modern standards and provides a fresh, clean appearance. The separate toilet room is located in the hallway and is fitted with a wall hung toilet and a small washbasin for convenience.
A notable feature of this apartment is the west facing balcony with an area of 21 square meters. This outdoor space is accessible from both the kitchen and the dining room or winter garden, providing flexibility in how it is used. The western orientation means that residents can enjoy the afternoon and evening sun, making it an ideal spot for relaxing after a day of work or for socializing with friends and family during the warmer months. The elevated position of the balcony on the tenth floor ensures an unobstructed view and a sense of privacy that is difficult to achieve at ground level.
The building dates from 1964 according to the BAG registration. Despite its age, the apartment has been updated in various ways to improve comfort and energy efficiency. The windows feature wooden frames with HR++ double glazing, which provides better insulation compared to standard double glazing. Mechanical ventilation is installed in the kitchen, bathroom, and toilet to ensure adequate air circulation throughout the apartment.
The heating system consists of a combi boiler that is owned by the current owner, meaning there are no ongoing rental costs for this essential system. The boiler is located in a practical storage closet in the hallway, keeping it out of sight while remaining easily accessible for maintenance purposes.
The apartment complex offers several additional amenities for residents. There is a private storage room in the basement of the building, providing valuable extra space for storing items that are not needed on a daily basis. Additionally, there is a communal bicycle storage area where residents can safely park their bicycles. The central entrance on the ground floor is representative and well kept, featuring mailboxes, an intercom system, a lift installation, and a staircase. The presence of a lift is particularly convenient given that the apartment is located on the tenth floor.
Security has also been considered, as the complex is equipped with camera surveillance, providing residents with an added sense of safety and peace of mind.
The Vrieheide neighborhood where the apartment is located offers a pleasant living environment characterized by its quiet and green surroundings. Despite the peaceful atmosphere, various amenities are within easy reach. Shops, public transportation, schools, and main roads are all located at a short distance, allowing residents to benefit from both the tranquility of the location and excellent accessibility to daily necessities and travel connections.
The VvE contribution for this apartment is 270.49 euros per month. This monthly fee covers the shared costs of maintaining and managing the apartment complex. The VvE is properly registered with the Chamber of Commerce, holds annual meetings, has a reserve fund in place, maintains an maintenance plan, and has building insurance. These elements indicate a well organized and professionally managed homeowners association that takes its responsibilities seriously.
The property is offered at an asking price of 179000 euros, which translates to approximately 1808 euros per square meter of living space. The energy label is E, which is typical for an apartment building from this period, though the presence of HR++ glazing and mechanical ventilation represents improvements over the original specifications.
Parking is available in the public area surrounding the building. While there is no dedicated parking space or garage included with the apartment, the availability of public parking in the vicinity provides options for residents who own a vehicle.
The transfer of this property can be arranged in consultation with the seller, allowing for flexibility in determining a suitable moving date. A standard security deposit or bank guarantee of 10 percent of the purchase price is required, which must be deposited with the notary within two weeks after the financing contingency has expired, provided both parties have agreed to this condition.
It should be noted that in accordance with Article 7:2 of the Dutch Civil Code, a legally valid purchase agreement is only formed when both the private seller and the private buyer have signed the agreement. A verbal agreement between the parties is not legally binding. All information provided about the property should be considered as an invitation to negotiate and is entirely without obligation. The stated measurements and dimensions are approximate, and no rights can be derived from the limited information provided. Floor plans, if included, serve only as a global indication and visualization and cannot be relied upon as exact representations.
