Description

Once, along the Vecht river, this was the estate of a wealthy silk manufacturer. Now, 300 years later, Zijdebalen is a sought-after place to live, a stone's throw from Utrecht city centre. Here you will find 104 flats, with living areas ranging from around 66 to as much as 143 m2, located on Korenschoofstraat.

There are many different types of flats in Zijdebalen Block I. All flats are equipped with a kitchen with built-in appliances and a fully fitted bathroom with a shower, (double) washbasin and design radiator. Depending on the type of flat, the bathroom is also equipped with a bathtub. You can choose between 1, 2 or 3 bedrooms. And the outdoor space? The flats have a balcony or loggia as well as their own external storage space.

The construction of Zijdebalen takes sustainability into account; from energy-efficient LED lighting in the public areas to gas-free heating and cooking. The large courtyard garden has plenty of greenery and you can park your bicycle in the basement storage area. Depending on the type of flat, you have a parking space in the underground car park.

Via De Bemuurde Weerd, you can cycle to the heart of Utrecht in seconds. Do you want to enjoy a terrace on the wharfs, browse in your favourite bookstore or simply stroll along the canal? Take the children to school or day-care or spend your 'obligatory' hour at the gym? Everything is 'around the corner' here.

In shopping centre Hoog Catharijne, you can shop endlessly. Hoog Catharijne is one of the largest indoor shopping centres in the Netherlands. You will find more than 150 shops here. The shopping centre is ideally located: between the lively, historic centre of Utrecht and Utrecht Central Station. Ideal!

There is plenty to discover in Utrecht's city centre. For example, you can go shopping or stroll along the many terraces along the canals. One of the nicest shopping areas is De 7 Straatjes (The 7 Streets), with small unique shops and speciality shops. For example, visit Zadelstraat and Oudkerkhof in the historic city centre and browse the many fashion boutiques, boutiques, gift shops, art galleries and delicatessens. Or take a city walk and forget you are in the middle of the city. Hidden courtyards, beautiful gardens and narrow alleys abound. And don't forget to visit the Dom tower, the Catharijneconvent or the Centraal Museum.

In the woods of Amelisweerd and Rhijnauwen you can get lost endlessly. This nature reserve is not far from the city centre, making it ideal for escaping the hustle and bustle of the city. Both paved and unpaved paths take you through a varied green environment.
