Key Features
Description
Bankwerkerij 172 is a maisonnette apartment situated in the IJplein area of Amsterdam-Noord. The property offers a combination of residential calm and proximity to the city center of Amsterdam. This apartment spans two living levels and includes a private ground-floor entrance.
Upon arrival at the property, residents enter through their own front door into a hallway that provides space for coats and includes a practical stair closet for additional storage. The staircase features PVC covering with anti-slip strips, ensuring safe access to the upper living level. The current owner has maintained the property with care since acquiring it in 2021, carrying out various renovations and improvements.
The upper hallway is notable for its height and natural light, achieved through large windows. The window frames throughout the property were replaced with modern plastic frames featuring tilt-and-turn functionality in 2024, completed as part of the VvE building maintenance. The hallway is currently used by the owner as a small workspace, demonstrating its potential for home office use.
The living room is positioned at the front of the maisonnette on the first floor. Thanks to the elevated position and large windows, this room receives ample daylight throughout the day. The entire apartment has been finished with light-colored laminate flooring, contributing to a clean and contemporary appearance. The dimensions of the living area allow for various furniture arrangements suitable for both relaxation and entertaining.
At the rear of the property lies the kitchen, which has been arranged in a practical layout. The kitchen is equipped with built-in appliances including an oven, a refrigerator-freezer combination, a dishwasher, and a cooktop with integrated extraction system. There is sufficient space adjacent to the kitchen to place a dining table, making it possible to combine cooking and dining in one area.
The bedroom is described as spacious and features a large sliding door that provides direct access to the balcony at the rear of the property. The window frames in this room were also renewed in 2024, contributing to improved insulation and comfort.
The balcony is accessible from both the kitchen and the bedroom, offering a private outdoor space. Given the quiet location within Amsterdam-Noord, this area serves as a pleasant spot for outdoor relaxation. The balcony measures five square meters according to the property specifications.
The bathroom was renovated in 2024 and presents a modern appearance with turquoise wall tiles paired with light floor tiles. The space includes a vanity unit with double drawers, a wide washbasin with two taps, and mirror cabinets with integrated lighting and storage capacity. A floating toilet is also located within the bathroom. Adjacent to the bathroom, there is a utility room that houses the washing machine and the central heating boiler.
The central heating system consists of an Intergas gas-fired combination boiler from 2016, which is owned rather than rented. The property benefits from comprehensive insulation including roof insulation, double glazing, wall insulation, and floor insulation, resulting in an energy label A classification.
Additional storage is provided by a separate storage unit located on the ground floor of the building, measuring five square meters. This external storage space is useful for items such as bicycles, luggage, or seasonal belongings.
The apartment building dates from 1986 and features a flat roof with bituminous covering. The property is part of an active and financially healthy VvE (homeowners association) that maintains a multi-year maintenance plan. The monthly VvE contribution is set at 243 euros, and the association is properly registered with the Chamber of Commerce, holds annual meetings, maintains a reserve fund, and has arranged building insurance.
An important financial aspect of this property is the ground lease situation. The property is located on municipal ground lease (erfpacht) that has been perpetually paid off (eeuwigdurend afgekocht). This means the new owner will not face ongoing ground lease payments or the need to buy off the lease in the future.
