Modern Energy-Efficient Apartment with Balcony and Panoramic Views in Nijmegen
Key Features
Description
This modern and fully renovated apartment is situated on the fifth floor of a well-maintained complex in the Zwanenveld neighborhood of Nijmegen-Dukenburg. The property has undergone significant sustainability upgrades and energy efficiency improvements, resulting in an A energy label and substantially reduced energy costs for the future owner. With its convenient location near public transportation, shopping facilities, and major highways, this apartment offers an excellent combination of comfort, sustainability, and accessibility.
Upon entering the apartment, you are welcomed into a spacious hallway that provides access to the bright and inviting living room as well as a practical storage closet. The living area benefits from large windows that allow abundant natural light to flood the space while offering impressive views of the surrounding area. The generous window placement not only enhances the sense of space but also creates a pleasant connection with the outdoors.
The living room provides direct access to the west-facing balcony, where you can enjoy the afternoon and evening sun. This outdoor space is perfect for relaxing with a cup of coffee in the morning or unwinding after a long day while taking in the fresh air and the panoramic views that this elevated position affords.
The modern kitchen was installed in 2025 and is adjacent to the living room, creating an open and sociable layout. The kitchen is practically designed with ample workspace and storage options. It comes fully equipped with high-quality built-in appliances, including an induction cooktop, a combined refrigerator-freezer, a built-in dishwasher, a combi-microwave, and an extractor hood. The contemporary design and thoughtful layout make this kitchen both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
Throughout the entire apartment, new flooring was laid in 2025, and the property has been freshly painted, ensuring a pristine and move-in ready condition for the new owner. These recent updates contribute to the modern feel and eliminate the need for immediate renovation or redecoration work.
From the living room, a hallway leads to the spacious bedroom, which offers more than sufficient space for a double bed and a wardrobe. The room maintains the bright and airy feel of the rest of the apartment, making it a comfortable retreat for rest and relaxation.
The bathroom is fitted with modern sanitary fixtures, including a shower cabin and a stylish vanity unit with sink. Adjacent to the bathroom, there is a separate toilet with a small hand basin, adding convenience and privacy for both residents and guests.
Additionally, the apartment features a practical laundry room equipped with handy shelving, ideal for storing household essentials and organizing laundry equipment. The fuse box is conveniently located next to the front door on the exterior side of the apartment.
On the ground floor of the complex, the apartment comes with a private storage box, providing extra space for items that are not needed daily, such as bicycles, seasonal decorations, or hobby equipment.
The entire apartment complex received a comprehensive upgrade in 2024 regarding energy efficiency and insulation. These improvements have resulted in optimal comfort with significantly lower energy costs. Each radiator is equipped with its own meter, ensuring that residents only pay for their actual consumption. The block heating system is managed by the Homeowners Association (VvE), and the net heating and hot water costs amount to approximately 55 euros per month. Electricity costs are around 30 euros per month, and the apartment has no gas connection, which aligns with the sustainable character of the property.
The modern CO2-controlled ventilation system ensures healthy indoor air quality while maintaining energy efficiency. This system automatically adjusts the ventilation rate based on the air quality, providing a comfortable and healthy living environment without unnecessary energy waste.
The apartment complex is situated in an excellent location within the Zwanenveld district. Nijmegen-Dukenburg train station is within walking distance, making it easy to commute to other cities. The Dukenburg shopping center is literally around the corner, offering a wide range of shops, supermarkets, and services for daily necessities.
The location also provides excellent connections to major highways, including the A73 and A50, making it convenient for those who travel by car to different parts of the region or commute to nearby cities. The center of Nijmegen is also easily accessible.
The surrounding neighborhood offers various sports facilities, schools, parks, and green spaces, enhancing the quality of life for residents. Whether you enjoy outdoor activities, need educational facilities for children, or simply appreciate living near green areas, this location caters to diverse lifestyle needs.
Parking is available through public parking facilities surrounding the complex, with an annual parking permit costing only 12 euros, which is remarkably affordable compared to many urban areas.
The Homeowners Association (VvE) charges a monthly fee of 403.50 euros, which includes service costs, building insurance, and water charges. While this may seem substantial, it covers essential services and maintenance of the complex, including the recently implemented sustainability improvements.
Built in 1977 and comprehensively modernized, this apartment of approximately 55 square meters with a 5 square meter balcony represents an excellent opportunity for those seeking a move-in ready, energy-efficient home in a well-connected location. The combination of recent renovations, sustainable features, modern amenities, and a prime location makes this property particularly attractive for first-time buyers, professionals, or investors looking for a property with low operational costs and high comfort.
The property is offered at a price of 249,000 euros (buyer's costs not included), which translates to approximately 4,527 euros per square meter. Given the recent renovations, the A energy label, and the favorable location, this represents competitive pricing for the Nijmegen housing market.
