Panoramic River View Apartment in Nijmegen's Historic Centre
Key Features
Description
Situated on the Waalkade in the heart of Nijmegen, this move-in ready apartment offers an exceptional living experience with direct views over the Waal river. The property spans 105 square meters and features a modern kitchen, two bedrooms, a spacious bathroom, and a south-facing balcony. The entire apartment has been recently plastered and painted, presenting itself in excellent condition for immediate occupancy.
The location along the Waalkade provides a dynamic living environment. In the morning, residents can observe the sunrise over the Ooijpolder, while throughout the day the river presents an ever-changing scene with the iconic Waalbrug, the Veur-Lent island, passing boats, and the railway bridge all visible from the apartment. The Waalkade itself is a lively area known for its variety of housing, restaurants, terraces, and the constant movement of ships on the river.
Access to the apartment is through the central entrance on the Waalkade, equipped with an intercom system with video functionality and mailboxes. The first-floor apartment can be reached via both stairs and a lift. Additionally, the stairwell can be accessed from the Steenstraat at the rear of the building, providing convenient routing options. Parking is available through a permit system in the nearby Vleeshouwerstraat, with permits costing 48 euros per year for eligible holders.
Upon entering the apartment, one arrives in a central hallway that provides access to all main areas of the home. This hallway contains a guest toilet with washbasin, the meter cupboard, and a practical storage room housing the central heating boiler installed in 2021 along with laundry connections. This layout keeps utilities organized and separate from the living spaces.
The living area is the true highlight of this apartment. Positioned to maximize the river views, the spacious living room features a bay window that creates a panoramic perspective of the Waal. The open-plan design connects the living area seamlessly with the kitchen, allowing natural light to flood the space from multiple angles. The living room provides ample room for a generous seating area as well as a large dining section adjacent to the kitchen.
The kitchen, installed in 2017, follows an L-shaped layout and offers abundant cabinet space. It is fully equipped with modern appliances including an induction cooktop, extractor hood, dishwasher, combination oven, refrigerator, and freezer. The light color scheme of the kitchen contributes to the overall bright and airy atmosphere of the living space.
The bathroom is accessible from the central hallway and is well-appointed with a shower, a bathtub, a second toilet, and a vanity unit with washbasin. This configuration provides both practical functionality and comfort for daily use.
Both bedrooms are situated at the rear of the apartment, away from the street-side activity. The main bedroom is generously proportioned and offers flexibility in furnishing and arrangement. The second bedroom serves as a versatile space suitable for use as a guest room, home office, or study area. This room currently contains a convenient folding bed and has sufficient space for a desk or other furniture. From this second bedroom, access is provided to the indoor south-facing balcony measuring 13 square meters. The balcony offers room for a dining table with chairs and presents a view of the monumental Brouwershuis, a 16th-century building that serves as a daily reminder of Nijmegen's status as the oldest city in the Netherlands.
The apartment building dates from 1989 and features a flat roof. It is classified as a gallery flat and is noted as being accessible for people with disabilities and elderly residents. The property benefits from full insulation, contributing to its C energy rating. Heating and hot water are provided by the Intergas HRE gas-fired combination boiler from 2021, which is owned rather than rented. Ventilation is provided through both mechanical and natural systems.
The Owners Association is described as healthy and active, with professional management in place. The VvE maintains a building insurance policy, a reserve fund for maintenance supported by a multi-year maintenance plan, and holds annual general meetings. This organized structure provides assurance regarding the long-term upkeep of the building.
The surrounding area of Nijmegen offers comprehensive amenities within walking distance. The apartment is located at the edge of the extensive city center with its many restaurants, shops, and city parks. The central railway station is within walking distance, as are the Veur-Lent island, the Ooijpolder nature area, and the Waal river beaches. Cycling connections to educational institutions such as Radboud University and the HAN university of applied sciences are excellent, as are connections to other parts of the city. The listing notes that a car is not strictly necessary given the proximity of all essential services and public transport options.
The property is offered at 595,000 euros costs koper, which translates to approximately 5,667 euros per square meter of living space. The cadastre reference is NIJMEGEN C 8148, and the property is held in full ownership. The acceptance terms are to be negotiated, and the listing status is currently available.
With its combination of river views, central location, modern amenities, and well-maintained building structure, this Waalkade apartment represents a distinctive opportunity for those seeking urban living in one of the Netherlands' most historic cities.
