Description
This modern three-room apartment is situated in the small-scale apartment complex called De Bocht, located at the intersection of the Dubbele neighborhood and the Warmoesstraat in Wormerveer. The property was built in 2015 and offers contemporary living comfort combined with a practical layout and scenic views over the Zaan river.
Upon entering the apartment, residents are greeted by a bright and spacious living room. The room features floor-to-ceiling windows that allow an abundance of natural daylight to enter the space. These windows also provide a pleasant view of the boats passing by on the Zaan. The living room connects openly to the modern kitchen, creating a cohesive living area that is well-suited for both relaxation and entertaining guests.
The apartment includes two well-proportioned bedrooms. These rooms offer flexibility in their use, whether as a main bedroom, guest room, home office space, or hobby room. The modern bathroom and the overall level of finish throughout the property mean that the apartment can be occupied immediately without the need for renovation work.
One of the bedrooms provides access to the balcony, which measures six square meters. This outdoor space offers a quiet spot to enjoy the sun and the peaceful surroundings. The balcony presents an opportunity to start the day with a cup of coffee or to unwind in the evening with a beverage while taking in the atmosphere.
In addition to the indoor living space, the property comes with a private storage unit. This wooden storage shed measures four square meters and is located behind the apartment complex. It is suitable for storing bicycles and other belongings that residents may not wish to keep inside the apartment.
The apartment is located on the second floor, which is also described as the third living layer in the listing. The entire apartment is equipped with floor heating, which contributes to a comfortable indoor climate. The property benefits from full insulation and has been awarded an energy label A, indicating its energy-efficient characteristics. The heating system consists of a gas-fired combination boiler from the brand Intergas, which was installed in 2015 and is owned by the current owner.
The building features a flat roof covered with bituminous roofing material. Ventilation is provided through a mechanical system, and a TV cable connection is available. The total volume of the apartment is 180 cubic meters, and the usable living area measures 61 square meters according to the NEN2580 measurement standard.
The location in Wormerveer is described as excellent. The charming town center with its various shops, restaurants, schools, and sports facilities is within walking distance. The NS train station is easily accessible, providing direct connections to major cities including Amsterdam, Haarlem, and Alkmaar. According to the listing, Amsterdam Sloterdijk can be reached within approximately twenty minutes by train. For those traveling by car, the connections to the A7, A8, and A9 highways are convenient.
The apartment is part of a homeowners association that is registered with the Chamber of Commerce. The association holds annual meetings and collects a periodic contribution of 135.47 euros per month. A reserve fund is present, though the listing notes that there is no formal maintenance plan in place. The association has taken out building insurance.
Parking for residents is available in the form of public parking in the vicinity of the building. The property is offered at an asking price of 339,000 euros, which is equivalent to approximately 5,557 euros per square meter of living space. The purchase price is subject to buyer costs. The delivery date can be agreed upon between the buyer and seller.
The property is classified as an existing building with a flat roof. It is offered as partially furnished. The cadastral designation is WORMERVEER A 7061, and the property is held in full ownership. The listing emphasizes the combination of modern comfort, the unique location by the water, and the practical layout as the main attractions of this apartment.
The apartment complex itself dates from 2015, which means that the building still has a relatively modern appearance and likely requires less maintenance compared to older properties. The small scale of the complex contributes to a sense of privacy and exclusivity for the residents. The corner position of the apartment within the complex may provide additional light and views compared to units that are more inwardly situated.
The Warmoesstraat location places residents in a residential neighborhood while still being close to urban amenities. The view over the Zaan river adds a distinctive element to the living experience, as water views are often considered desirable in Dutch real estate. The presence of boats on the water adds visual interest and a sense of connection to the local maritime character of the Zaan region.
For prospective buyers who commute to Amsterdam or other nearby cities, the transport connections are a significant practical advantage. The combination of train services and highway access provides flexibility in travel options. The proximity to the train station means that car ownership is not strictly necessary for daily commuting, though public parking is available for those who do have a vehicle.
The service costs of 135.47 euros per month cover the shared expenses of the apartment complex. This amount contributes to the maintenance of common areas, building insurance, and the reserve fund. Buyers should consider this ongoing cost when evaluating the total monthly housing expenses.
The energy label A rating indicates that the apartment meets current energy efficiency standards. Combined with the floor heating and full insulation, this suggests that heating costs are likely to be moderate compared to older, less well-insulated properties. The relatively recent construction year of 2015 means that the building incorporates modern insulation techniques and energy-saving features as required by the building regulations of that time.
