Description
This apartment is situated on the second floor of a four-storey portiekflat building at Willem de Mérodestraat 35 in the Dichtersbuurt neighbourhood of Weesp. The property was originally built in 1960 and has been updated to meet modern living standards. The total living area measures approximately 59 square metres, making it a compact yet well-arranged home suitable for individuals or couples.
Upon entering the apartment, residents are welcomed by a spacious hallway that provides access to all rooms in the property. The hallway features practical built-in storage cabinets, a modern floating toilet with a small sink, and the electrical meter cupboard containing five circuit groups and an earth leakage switch. The flooring throughout the apartment consists of quality laminate, providing a uniform and clean appearance. Heating is provided by radiators in each room.
The living room is located at the front of the apartment and benefits from abundant natural light. The windows are fitted with UPVC frames and HR++ double glazing, which contributes to better insulation and reduces external noise. This combination of features makes the living space comfortable and relatively low-maintenance in terms of window upkeep.
Adjacent to the living room is an open-plan kitchen that has been finished to a high standard. The kitchen is fully equipped with a range of built-in appliances including an induction hob, extractor hood, dishwasher, oven, a Howat instant hot water tap, and a fridge-freezer combination. This complete setup means the kitchen is ready for immediate daily use without requiring any additional purchases or installations.
From the kitchen, residents can access the balcony which faces outward and provides an outdoor space for relaxation. The balcony measures 6 square metres and offers a pleasant spot to sit outside during warmer months.
The bedroom is described as being of good size, providing adequate space for a double bed and additional furniture. The bathroom has been modernised and features a shower and a vanity unit with sink. A separate utility room houses the Intergas HRE combination boiler, which was installed in 2022 and is owned by the current owner, along with space for a washing machine. These installations are neatly concealed behind fixed cabinets, maintaining a tidy appearance throughout the apartment.
In the basement of the building, there is a private storage unit measuring 9 square metres. This space is suitable for storing bicycles or additional belongings that do not fit within the apartment itself.
The Dichtersbuurt is a residential neighbourhood in Weesp known for its peaceful atmosphere while still offering convenient access to daily amenities. The NS station Weesp is approximately a five-minute walk from the property, and from there Amsterdam Centraal can be reached in about sixteen minutes by train. This connectivity makes the location particularly attractive for commuters working in Amsterdam or the surrounding regions.
Supermarkets, shops, restaurants, and the historic centre of Weesp are all within walking distance. Weesp itself is a former fortified town that retains historical charm whilst benefiting from a strategic position between Amsterdam, the Gooi region, Almere, and Utrecht.
The apartment building is managed by an active Homeowners Association (VvE) that is registered with the Chamber of Commerce. The VvE holds annual meetings, maintains a reserve fund, has an established maintenance plan, and has arranged building insurance. The monthly VvE contribution is 189 euros, which covers the shared costs of building maintenance and management.
Parking in the area is regulated and requires a permit or paid parking. Residents should factor this into their consideration if they own a vehicle.
The property has an energy label C, reflecting its current insulation status. The combination of the relatively recent boiler installation from 2022 and the HR++ glazing in UPVC frames indicates that some energy efficiency improvements have already been undertaken, though further upgrades could potentially improve the rating in the future.
The asking price for this apartment is 330,000 euros, which translates to approximately 5,593 euros per square metre of living space. This price is payable by the buyer (kosten koper), meaning that additional costs such as transfer tax and notary fees will apply on top of this amount. The property is offered available for viewing, with acceptance terms to be negotiated.
The apartment is presented as being in move-in ready condition, requiring no immediate renovations or repairs. The modern kitchen and bathroom, combined with the recent boiler installation and updated window frames, suggest that the current owner has invested in maintaining and improving the property. This turnkey status may appeal to buyers who prefer to avoid renovation projects and wish to settle in immediately after purchase.
Weesp offers a distinctive living environment that combines small-town character with excellent transport links to major urban centres. The town has a range of local amenities and maintains a community atmosphere whilst being well-connected to the broader Randstad region. For those working in Amsterdam but preferring to live outside the city, this location presents a practical compromise between urban accessibility and residential tranquillity.
