Fully Renovated 3-Room Apartment with Private Parking in Amsterdam Nieuw-West
Key Features
Upsides
- The perpetual leasehold has the ground rent fully bought off, eliminating any future canon payment obligations which provides long-term financial certainty.
- A private parking space in the underground garage is included in the asking price, which is a significant advantage in Amsterdam where parking can be difficult and expensive to obtain separately.
- The apartment has energy label A rating with district heating and underfloor heating throughout, meaning no gas connection, no boiler maintenance, and lower energy costs.
- The property was fully renovated in 2019 including new kitchen, bathroom, flooring, walls, and ceilings, making it immediately move-in ready without any renovation work required.
- The location offers a balance of quiet residential living with green spaces on both sides (Rembrandtpark and Sloterplas) while maintaining good connectivity to the city center and public transport options.
Downsides
- The second bedroom is described as smaller and suitable for single use or as a home office, which may be limiting for buyers needing two full-sized bedrooms.
- The balcony faces east and only receives morning sun until around 1:00 PM in summer, meaning no afternoon or evening sunlight on the outdoor space.
- The monthly service costs of 205.93 euros represent an ongoing expense that buyers should factor into their total housing costs.
- The property is located in Amsterdam Nieuw-West rather than in the central districts, which may be less desirable for those prioritizing immediate proximity to the city center.
- The asking price is listed as a bidding from price, creating uncertainty about the final purchase amount in a competitive Amsterdam housing market.
Description
This three-room apartment is located on the third floor of a building constructed in 2008, situated in the Overtoomse Veld neighborhood of Amsterdam Nieuw-West. The property has a total living area of 85 square meters and was comprehensively renovated in 2019, making it immediately ready for a new occupant to move in without requiring any additional work.
The apartment is accessed via a communal main entrance with an intercom system, leading to a central hall with both a staircase and a lift. The third floor entrance opens into a hallway that contains the meter cupboard, a spacious storage room equipped with a washing machine connection, and a separate toilet room with a washbasin. This layout ensures that practical utilities are neatly organized and do not take up space in the main living areas.
The central living space consists of an open-plan living room and kitchen. The kitchen is arranged in a U-shape and features a breakfast bar that flows directly into the dining and sitting area, creating a cohesive space for daily living and entertaining. The kitchen is fitted with ample cabinet space and built-in appliances including an induction cooktop, extractor hood, combination oven, dishwasher, and a fridge-freezer. This configuration provides all the necessary facilities for modern cooking needs.
Located at the front of the apartment are two bedrooms. The master bedroom is sufficiently large to accommodate a double bed along with wardrobe space. The second bedroom is smaller but remains functional, suitable for use as a single bedroom, a home office, or a guest room. Both rooms can fit wardrobes according to the listing description. The bathroom is finished with a walk-in shower and a double vanity unit with an illuminated mirror, offering a practical and contemporary bathing space.
The balcony faces east and measures approximately 5.7 square meters. It is partially covered and partially open, providing flexibility depending on weather conditions. During summer months, the balcony receives morning sunlight until approximately 1:00 PM. This orientation means the living spaces behind it are protected from intense afternoon heat while still benefiting from natural light during the earlier part of the day.
A significant feature of this property is its heating system. The apartment is connected to the city district heating network (stadsverwarming), which means there is no gas connection and no boiler that requires maintenance. Underfloor heating was installed throughout the apartment during the 2019 renovation, replacing the original radiators. This system provides even heat distribution and contributes to the energy efficiency of the property. The apartment has been fully insulated and holds an energy label A rating, indicating low energy consumption and reduced heating costs.
The property is situated on perpetual leasehold (eeuwigdurend erfpacht) with the ground rent (canon) having been bought off in perpetuity. This means there are no future ground rent payment obligations, which is a financially advantageous arrangement compared to leasehold properties where periodic canon payments are required.
Included in the asking price is a private parking space located in the underground parking garage. In a city like Amsterdam where parking is often difficult and expensive to arrange, having a dedicated parking spot adds considerable practical value to the property. Additionally, there is a shared bicycle storage facility available for residents.
The Overtoomse Veld neighborhood is positioned between Rembrandtpark and the Sloterplas, offering green spaces on both sides of the area. This particular part of the neighborhood is described as the quieter, residential section, providing a contrast to busier urban areas while still maintaining good connectivity to the rest of the city. Mercatorplein, with its selection of cafes and restaurants, can be reached on foot within a few minutes. De Hallen, a popular cultural and dining destination, is approximately ten minutes away by bicycle. The listing also mentions local establishments such as bakery Fort Negen and butcher Kemâ Vlees, which are accessible by a short cycle.
Transport connections are well established. Metro station Postjesweg is within walking distance, and tram line 13 stops nearby. The center of Amsterdam can be reached by bicycle in approximately fifteen minutes. For air travel, Schiphol Airport is accessible in roughly twenty minutes door-to-door when using the metro and train connection, depending on transfer times. The A10 ring road is easily accessible by car for those who need to travel outside the city.
The building has an active homeowners association (VvE) that is professionally managed. The service costs amount to 205.93 euros per month. The VvE has a healthy reserve fund and a current multi-year maintenance plan (MJOP) in place, indicating responsible financial management of the shared areas and building structure. The building also has building insurance arranged through the VvE.
Regarding foundation condition, the KCAF (Kennis Centrum Aanpak Funderingsproblematiek) has assessed this property as having no high risk, meaning it falls under indication A, B, or C according to available data. This provides reassurance regarding the structural integrity of the building's foundation.
The apartment features mechanical ventilation and cable TV connections. The building has a flat roof construction. The total volume of the apartment is 273 cubic meters. The property is offered with a bidding from price, and the completion date is subject to consultation between buyer and seller.
