This apartment on Van den Boschstraat 36 sits in Lombok-West, a lively part of Utrecht where the streets have a distinctly pre-war character.

The home itself
The apartment has a living area of 57 m² according to the BAG registration. The agent does not provide further details on the layout, number of rooms, or any outdoor space in the listing. What is clear is that this is a compact home, typical of its era, with the character that comes with a building from the early twentieth century. The energy label D suggests moderate energy performance, so heating costs will likely be noticeable but not extreme.
