There is one main bathroom, fitted with a corner bathtub, a separate shower and a toilet, as well as a separate toilet room. A utility closet with space for a washing machine and dryer. The spacious and sunlit living room is split into two parts. On the left side, a cosy L-shaped sitting area with access to a rear balcony with views over the Nieuwe Haven Marina and the charming, historic heart of Bunschoten-Spakenburg. On the right side, the fully equipped U-shaped kitchen opens into the main lounge area.

Finally, a spiral staircase from the central hall goes up to a private 70m² rooftop terrace, offering a 360 view over the water and the picturesque city center. The roof includes discreetly positioned solar panels, as well as solartubes to get as much light into the apartment as possible.
