Key Features
Description
This three-room corner apartment is situated on the third floor of a residential building located at Zomerkade in Huizen, specifically in the Huizermaat Noord neighborhood. The property offers views over the Gooimeer, a nearby beach, and the boulevard area. Built in 1982, the apartment is part of a galerijflat complex, which means residents access their units via an open gallery walkway.
The living space measures 74.60 square meters according to the official specifications. Additionally, there is a separate attic space of 24.20 square meters that is accessible via a pull-down ladder (vlizotrap). This attic has standing height and currently serves as storage space, though the listing notes there is potential to install a permanent staircase and create additional rooms with skylights or a dormer window. The fact that this apartment is located on the top residential floor means there are no neighbors above.
The apartment features two balconies. One balcony faces south and measures 7.30 square meters, positioned as a private terrace on the corner of the building. The second balcony faces north and measures 5.00 square meters, located on the side facing the beach and water. This north-facing balcony provides a cooler outdoor space during warmer months.
The internal layout consists of a gallery entrance leading to the front door. Inside, there is a hallway containing the meter cupboard, a heating cupboard, a coat closet, and a separate toilet with a small sink. From the hallway, the pull-down ladder provides access to the attic space above.
The main living and dining area is described as bright and light-filled, with the aforementioned views over the Gooimeer. This room connects to both balconies, one at the front and one at the back. The kitchen is described as a simple half-open kitchen adjacent to the living area.
There are two bedrooms in the apartment. The main bedroom has a built-in wardrobe and is located on the cooler side of the building, again with views over the Gooimeer. The second bedroom is currently connected to the living room as a side room, but the listing indicates this can be easily restored to a separate bedroom configuration.
The bathroom contains a shower, a washbasin vanity unit, and a connection point for a washing machine.
The building includes a closed central entrance with an intercom/video phone system. Residents can reach the third floor either by elevator or via the staircase. The total building volume is stated as 339 cubic meters.
Regarding parking and storage, the property includes a private parking space in the underground parking garage beneath the building. There is also a private storage unit (box) in this garage, measuring 6 square meters according to the specifications.
The apartment has an energy label C. Insulation features include roof insulation, double glazing, HR-glass (high-efficiency glass), and wall insulation. Heating and hot water are provided by a Remeha gas-fired combination boiler (cv-ketel), which is owned rather than rented.
The property is part of a homeowners association (VvE) with a monthly contribution of 245.87 euros. The VvE appears to be well-organized, with registration at the Chamber of Commerce (KvK), annual general meetings, a reserve fund, a maintenance plan, and building insurance all confirmed as present.
An important contractual detail to note is that a non-self-occupancy clause (niet-zelfbewoningsclausule) applies to this property. This type of clause typically means the buyer must occupy the property themselves and cannot rent it out, at least for a specified initial period.
The location of the apartment building is directly adjacent to the beach area in Huizen. Several restaurants and terraces are within walking distance. The Oostermeent shopping center and the Holleblok area are also nearby. Public transportation is accessible with bus stops providing connections to Naarden, Bussum, and Hilversum. There is also a connection via the R-line 320 to Amsterdam Amstel station.
The asking price is 495,000 euros, which translates to approximately 6,600 euros per square meter based on the living area. The property is offered with a buyer pays transfer costs arrangement (kosten koper), meaning the buyer is responsible for additional costs such as the transfer tax and notary fees on top of the purchase price.
The property is listed as available, with the acceptance date to be negotiated. The listing agency is Floberg Makelaardij, which states that clients are always assisted by fully certified and experienced Register Makelaars.
