Location
Situated in a prime location in Utrecht (Lombok) on the lively Kanaalstraat, this upper-floor apartment has recently undergone a complete, high-quality renovation. Spanning approximately 70 m² across two levels, the apartment features a spacious roof terrace and includes an integrated (bicycle) storage unit on the ground floor. It is beautifully situated in a dynamic area—right in the heart of popular Lombok and along the bustling Kanaalstraat. The apartment is just a stone's throw from Central Station and the historic city center. It also offers excellent access to major roads, with the A2 motorway reachable in about 8 minutes.

Lombok Development / Utrecht City Project
This trendy, diverse neighborhood west of Utrecht’s city center has seen a significant boost in quality and has evolved in recent years into one of the city's most sought-after areas. Kanaalstraat and Damstraat form the neighborhood's heart—an area often referred to as the ‘Kop van Lombok’ (Head of Lombok). This shopping district has undergone major improvements in recent years and is characterized by a varied, multicultural mix of shops and dining establishments. The many renovations, restorations, and restructuring projects in the neighborhood have clearly had a positive impact. Lombok currently boasts excellent local amenities, and an increasing number of new entrepreneurs are setting up business here. The extension of Damstraat will soon connect directly to the new city center development on the west side of the station—one of the key hotspots in the Utrecht City Center Plan!

Description
The apartment is situated on the first and second floors of a characterful mixed-use building (shop with residential accommodation above). It underwent a complete renovation a few years ago that preserved its authentic charm while sparing no expense on finishes and materials. Every aspect of luxury and comfort has been considered; the entire home features underfloor heating, low-maintenance PVC flooring, smooth plastered walls, an integrated lighting plan, and an intercom system with a camera and remote door release. A neutral wall color scheme contrasts with black doors and window frames; features such as French doors opening onto a spacious roof terrace, high ceilings, and large windows create a beautiful blend of authentic period elements and high-quality modern finishes. The luxurious, well-appointed kitchen is equipped with high-end built-in appliances (Siemens), and the bathroom also boasts a luxury feel, featuring a double vanity, underfloor heating, and a rain shower. The second floor houses two bedrooms and a spacious mezzanine area with ample storage space. The landing also includes a practical wall of built-in cupboards, incorporating a dedicated space with a concrete base for the washing machine and dryer.
