Renovated Ground Floor Apartment with Exceptional Garden in Amsterdam-West
Key Features
Upsides
- Exceptional garden size of approximately 115 m², which is rare for an Amsterdam property and provides significant outdoor living space.
- Fully renovated with high-quality, modern finishes throughout, resulting in an immediately livable home with a cohesive design.
- Multifunctional outbuilding of 13 m² with its own bathroom, offering flexibility as guest accommodation, home office, or hobby space.
- Prime location in Amsterdam-West with excellent accessibility to the city center, public transport, parks, and the A10 ring road.
- Two full bathrooms in addition to the bathroom in the garden house, providing convenience for families or those who value multiple bathing facilities.
Downsides
- Basement bedrooms (souterrain) may not appeal to all buyers, as some prefer bedrooms on or above ground level for light and air quality reasons.
- Leasehold property (erfpacht) with ongoing annual payments, even though it has been perpetually fixed under favorable conditions.
- VVE in oprichting (being established) means there is no track record of the homeowners association, its financial health, or maintenance planning.
- Northeast-facing garden receives less afternoon and evening sun compared to south or west-facing orientations.
- Paid parking in the area requires permits and additional costs, which is common in Amsterdam but still a consideration for car owners.
- Conflicting information in the listing regarding square footage (144 m² vs 157 m²) and bedroom count (3 vs 5) raises questions about accuracy.

The property has been completely updated with light, natural colors and quality materials throughout, resulting in a home that is ready for immediate occupancy. The apartment spans two levels, with the main living areas on the ground floor and the sleeping quarters situated in the basement level (souterrain).
The ground floor entrance leads into an exceptionally spacious hallway that provides ample opportunity for creating wardrobe and storage space. A separate toilet is conveniently located in this area. The attention to detail is immediately apparent upon entering, with consistent high-quality finishes and a cohesive design language throughout the property.
An industrial-style steel door opens to the generous living room, which extends from the front to the rear of the property.

The dimensions of this room accommodate various furniture arrangements, making it suitable for family living.
