Living in the beloved Vogelenbuurt: charm, character, and comfort in the city Located on the northeast side of Utrecht, the popular and atmospheric Vogelenbuurt is a neighborhood where history, coziness, and vibrant city life come together effortlessly. From the quiet Merelstraat, it’s just a five-minute walk to the bustling city center, while green spaces like the nearby Griftpark and surrounding countryside are also within easy reach. On this charming street, close to the historic Rijn en Zon windmill, we offer a surprisingly spacious and inviting 6-room upper-level apartment. Spread across the first and second floors, this home offers 102 m² of living space. With two balconies and an unobstructed view over the green courtyard at the rear, this is a wonderfully bright and comfortable place to come home to. The Vogelenbuurt offers everything you need within walking distance: cozy cafés, specialty shops, a Jumbo supermarket, organic butcher, bakery, drugstore, and liquor store — all quite literally across the street. Public transport connections are excellent, and general practitioners and physiotherapists are nearby. In short: a unique opportunity to live in a prime location in Utrecht, with every convenience right at your fingertips. Layout Ground floor The entrance leads into a hallway with a staircase to the first floor — a warm welcome into this character-filled home. First floor On the landing you'll find a toilet and a 6 m² room at the front, ideal as a home office, playroom, or hobby space.
