Would you like to live on the canal in a charming 1920s townhouse? Then this is a unique opportunity! Located directly on the canal in Utrecht’s historic city centre, this beautiful one-bedroom apartment (41 m² of living space) was created in 2010 within an elegant and characterful townhouse. The moment you enter, you immediately experience the special atmosphere of the property. The impressive façade, the stately staircase leading to the front door, and the wide stairwell with high ceilings, decorative mouldings, and a vestibule featuring stunning stained-glass windows provide a stylish welcome. Behind the shared main entrance, six luxurious apartments have been realised, each with its own private entrance. Together, they form a small-scale and active Homeowners’ Association (VvE). The apartment is situated on the second floor and has its own central heating installation. The owners of five apartments (excluding the ground-floor apartment) jointly share the gas, water, and electricity connections. The monthly contribution for this is €150. In addition, residents collectively save for future major maintenance of the monumental building (€20.60 per month). In short: carefree living in a unique and characterful location. Location The location is undoubtedly one of the greatest advantages of this property.
