Modern apartment with 2 bedrooms and sunny balcony overlooking water
Key Features
Description
This modern three room apartment is situated on the fourth and top floor of a residential building in the Populierenbuurt neighborhood of Amstelveen. The property is located at Amberlaan 78 and offers a comfortable living space of 81 square meters. Being positioned on the top floor means there are no upstairs neighbors, which contributes to a quiet living environment. Additionally, the elevated position allows for extra natural light to enter the apartment throughout the day.
The building features a central closed entrance on the ground floor equipped with a video intercom system, doorbell panel, and mailboxes. Residents and visitors can access the upper floors via a well maintained staircase or by using the elevator. The presence of an elevator makes this apartment accessible for everyone, including those with mobility considerations or when moving furniture and heavy items.
Upon entering the apartment on the fourth floor, you are welcomed by a hallway that provides access to all rooms in the residence. The layout has been thoughtfully designed to maximize the available space and create a functional flow between the different areas of the home.
The bright living room is located at the rear of the apartment and offers a pleasant view of water and greenery. This outlook creates a calm and relaxing atmosphere, making the living room an ideal place to unwind after a busy day. The windows allow plenty of natural light to fill the space, enhancing the sense of openness. Adjacent to the living room is a dining area that connects seamlessly with the living space. This dining area offers flexibility and could alternatively be used as a home office or even as a third bedroom if the new owner requires additional sleeping space.
From the living room, you have direct access to the balcony. The balcony faces east, which means it catches the morning sun. This orientation makes it a lovely spot to enjoy a cup of coffee or breakfast while starting the day. The balcony measures five square meters and provides enough space for outdoor seating and some potted plants.
The kitchen is situated on the gallery side of the apartment and is separated from the living area. It features a modern design with white cabinetry and is equipped with various built in and freestanding appliances. The separate layout of the kitchen helps keep cooking odors away from the living space.
The apartment contains two well proportioned bedrooms. Both rooms offer sufficient space for a double bed and additional furniture such as wardrobes and nightstands. The bedrooms are positioned away from the gallery side, which helps maintain a peaceful environment for sleeping.
The bathroom is fitted with a bathtub, a washbasin with a vanity unit, and a radiator for heating. Conveniently, the connections for both a washing machine and a dryer are located in the bathroom, keeping laundry facilities out of sight from the main living areas. A separate toilet is located in the hallway, allowing multiple residents to use the facilities simultaneously.
In the basement of the building, there is a private storage room measuring nine square meters. This space is suitable for storing bicycles, seasonal items, or other belongings that you do not need on a daily basis. Having a dedicated storage area helps keep the apartment itself clutter free.
The property is located on freehold land, which means there is no ground lease to worry about. This is an important financial consideration as it eliminates periodic ground lease payments and provides full ownership of the land beneath the building.
The Populierenbuurt is a quiet and green residential area in the northwest part of Amstelveen. The neighborhood is characterized by abundant public green spaces and a family friendly layout. For daily grocery shopping, residents can walk to the shops on Van der Hooplaan where supermarkets, specialty stores, and restaurants can be found.
The Stadshart of Amstelveen, the main shopping and cultural center of the city, is within easy cycling distance. Here you will find a wide range of shops, cultural facilities including a theater and the Cobra Museum, and various dining options. For outdoor recreation, the Amsterdamse Bos and the Middelpolder area are nearby, offering opportunities for walking, cycling, and enjoying nature.
The location offers excellent accessibility. Tram and bus connections provide quick access to Amsterdam South, the city center of Amsterdam, and Schiphol Airport. For car owners, the Beneluxbaan and nearby highways including the A9, A10, and A2 offer convenient routes to Schiphol, Amsterdam, and Utrecht. Parking at the property is available through public parking in the surrounding area.
The homeowners association, known as VvE in Dutch, is professionally managed by an organization called De Huishouding. The monthly service costs amount to 269 euros. On top of this, there is an advance payment of 100 euros for heating costs. The VvE is properly registered with the Chamber of Commerce, holds annual meetings, collects periodic contributions, maintains a reserve fund, has a maintenance plan in place, and has building insurance. These are all positive indicators of a well organized and financially healthy association.
The apartment has an energy label C, which indicates a reasonable level of energy efficiency. The windows feature double glazing, and the property has natural ventilation. Heating is provided through block heating, which is a centralized system that distributes heat to multiple apartments in the building. Hot water is generated by a gas water heater located within the apartment.
The building was constructed in 1962 and has a flat roof covered with bituminous roofing material. It is important to note that the purchase agreement will include an age clause, an asbestos clause, and a non occupancy clause. The standard Ring Amsterdam model purchase contract will be used for the transaction. The buyer has the right to choose the notary, provided the notary is established in Amsterdam or Amstelveen. The buyer must appoint a notary within two working days after reaching a verbal agreement, otherwise the seller reserves the right to make the appointment.
The total volume of the apartment is 255 cubic meters. The asking price is 425000 euros, which translates to approximately 5247 euros per square meter of living space. The property is currently available and the exact availability date can be discussed with the seller.
