Living with unobstructed views of greenery and the Rotsoord water tower

Description

In the popular Tolsteeg neighborhood, just a stone’s throw from the city center of Utrecht, lies this charming and bright 2-bedroom apartment on the fourth and top floor. The property features a private storage room and an east-facing balcony. From the cozy kitchen, you can step directly onto the balcony and enjoy your first cup of coffee in the morning sun. At the rear of the apartment is the light-filled living room, offering a stunning panoramic view of the greenery and the iconic Rotsoord water tower—a view that changes character with every season.

Thanks to the new uPVC window frames with triple glazing, the interior is wonderfully quiet, comfortable, and energy-efficient. Its location on Tolsteegplantsoen provides a green and peaceful living environment, while all city amenities are within walking distance.

Location

The quiet, green setting combines the best of both worlds: nature and city life. All amenities are close at hand. The Smaragdplein shopping center offers several supermarkets and local specialty stores, and the neighborhood is full of cozy restaurants and cafés. Think WT Urban Kitchen (inside the water tower itself!), LE:EN, Klein Berlijn, Camping Ganspoort, or drinks at Broei on the Oosterkade. The Ledig Erf, Twijnstraat, Louis Hartlooper Complex, various museums, and the Catharijnesingel are also within walking distance. Plenty of choices!

In terms of accessibility, this location is excellent: a bus stop is right outside, Vaartsche Rijn station is just a five-minute walk, and you can reach Utrecht’s vibrant city center in minutes. Major roads are also quickly accessible.
