A compact studio in Bussum
Tucked away on the Leeuweriklaan, this studio sits on the second living floor of a 1966 apartment building in the Ooster Eng-Noord neighbourhood of Bussum. The setting is described as a quiet road in a residential area, which gives the home a calm, unassuming feel. With a living area of 20 square metres, this is a compact space that asks for a minimalist approach. The asking price of €199,000 is 61% below the neighbourhood average asking price of €507,182, which puts it on the keen side of the market. For context, the price per square metre here is €9,950, based on the agent's listing. If you are looking for a small, affordable foothold in the area, this studio is one of the [studios in Gooise Meren]( /koopwoningen/gooise-meren/studios/ ) currently on offer.
Inside the home
The studio comprises one room and one bathroom, spread over four floors in the building, though the home itself is on the second living floor. The volume is 69 cubic metres, and the property is held in full ownership. Heating comes from block heating, which means the building has a shared system. The monthly homeowners' association fee is €77.11. The energy label is F, which is a low rating, so expect higher energy costs compared to more efficient homes. The year of construction, 1966, is a fact of the building's history, and the agent does not provide further details on the interior condition.
