Description
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.
The bright and charming living room at the front (12 m²) retains its original layout as a former en suite, complete with classic sliding doors and a decorative mantelpiece. Restoring the original room division is easy by removing a single partition wall.
At the rear lies the spacious 15 m² bedroom with French doors opening onto the balcony — a serene and comfortable retreat.
The balcony offers views over a peaceful green courtyard, a perfect spot to relax. The kitchen is equipped with a neat kitchen unit and freestanding stove, and also has direct access to the balcony.
Second floor
This level features a generous 6 m² landing, beautifully lit by a skylight.
There are three bedrooms. The rear bedroom is 14 m², includes built-in storage, and has French doors opening onto a 5 m² balcony.
Next to this room is a second 7 m² kitchen, fitted with a kitchen unit and freestanding stove. This space is ideal for conversion into a spacious bathroom, ready to be customized to your taste.
At the front, you'll find a large 12 m² bedroom with practical built-in wardrobes, and a cozy third bedroom of 6 m² — perfect as a child’s room or home office.
Thanks to high ceilings and an abundance of natural light, this floor feels exceptionally bright, spacious, and comfortable.
