Description
This move-in ready five-room apartment is situated in an excellent location directly above Winkelcentrum Vaartbroek, offering all daily amenities within easy reach. The property spans approximately 107 square meters of living space and is located on the eighth floor, providing a wonderful unobstructed view over the city. The apartment distinguishes itself through the presence of no fewer than four bedrooms and two balconies, making it particularly suitable for families or those requiring additional room for a home office or guest accommodation.
The building features a representative central entrance with an intercom system, a well-maintained stairwell, and a lift installation. From the ground floor hall, there is access to a private locked storage room of approximately 10 square meters, which is ideal for storing bicycles, luggage, or other items that require additional space.
Upon entering the apartment on the eighth floor, you arrive in the hall which serves as a draft portal. This practical space includes a storage closet and the meter cupboard. From the hall, you can access the partially tiled guest toilet which is equipped with a small sink.
The living room is characterized by its atmospheric appearance and features a PVC floor laid in a herringbone pattern. Large window sections ensure plenty of natural light enters the space, creating a pleasant and comfortable living environment. From the living room, there is direct access to a covered balcony located on the sunny side of the building, offering a beautiful view over the cityscape of Eindhoven.
The eat-in kitchen was installed in 2019 and features a modern layout with various cabinets and drawers. The kitchen is fully equipped with a gas cooktop, extractor hood, refrigerator, freezer, oven, microwave, and dishwasher. This makes the kitchen immediately ready for use and suitable for any cooking enthusiast. From the kitchen, there is access to the second balcony, which also provides a lovely view over the city.
One of the most notable features of this apartment is the presence of four spacious bedrooms. All bedrooms are fitted with neat PVC flooring, giving the rooms a well-maintained and modern appearance. This makes the property exceptionally suitable for families with multiple children, couples who work from home, or anyone who values extra space for hobbies or storage.
The fully tiled bathroom is equipped with a bathtub that also functions as a shower, a vanity unit, and a toilet. The bathroom provides all the necessary facilities for comfortable daily use.
The property has undergone various renovations and modernizations in recent years, which means it can truly be called move-in ready. The spacious living area, practical layout, and large windows contribute to a pleasant light incidence and a comfortable living feeling throughout the apartment.
Residents benefit from ample free parking in the immediate vicinity. The location also offers excellent accessibility, with important destinations such as the city center of Eindhoven, the Technical University, ASML, Eindhoven Airport, Winkelcentrum Woensel, the High Tech Campus, and the Catharina Hospital all easily and quickly reachable by both car and public transport.
The monthly service costs amount to 691.66 euros. It is expected that these costs will decrease in the future as the building will be made more sustainable in the near term. The VvE (Homeowners Association) is properly organized with registration with the Chamber of Commerce, annual meetings, a reserve fund, a maintenance plan, and building insurance.
The apartment was built in 1966 and is classified as a gallery flat. The energy label is E, and the property features partial double glazing. Heating is provided through block heating, and hot water is supplied through a central facility. The building volume is 352 cubic meters.
The property is located in a residential area and offers the convenience of urban living with all amenities literally at your doorstep. The combination of the elevated position, the number of rooms, and the central location makes this a unique offering in the Eindhoven housing market.
