This newly built, light filled, and contemporary duplex apartment offers approximately one hundred and forty nine square meters of carefully designed living space, thoughtfully spread across two floors. Situated within a modern and recently realized residential complex, the property benefits from an elevator, a communal garden, a private storage unit, and a secure parking garage. The apartment itself features a beautifully sunny south west facing terrace that directly overlooks the lush Bella Vistapark. Throughout the residence, high quality and natural materials have been used to create a sophisticated and welcoming atmosphere. Energy efficiency is a key feature of this home, equipped with all the latest modern systems and high end appliances.

The highly efficient and practical layout includes three spacious bedrooms and two well appointed bathrooms.
Regarding the surroundings, the property is located directly opposite the green expanse of Bella Vistapark, nestled within the family friendly and highly sought after Amstelkwartier neighborhood. Residents can enjoy a variety of amenities within easy walking distance, including numerous parks, excellent sports facilities, convenient shops, cozy cafes, and delightful restaurants. Notable nearby dining and leisure spots include George Marina, Thuis aan de Amstel, and L'Osteria. The location is exceptionally well connected in terms of public transport and major road networks. The property offers direct access to the A10 and A2 motorways, making commuting by car highly efficient. For public transport users, both the Spaklerweg metro station and the Amsterdam Amstel train station are merely a five minute walk away. These transport hubs provide rapid and direct connections to Amsterdam Central Station and Schiphol Airport, ensuring both national and international travel is effortless.
Looking at the specific layout of the property, residents have exclusive access to a beautifully maintained communal garden that runs alongside the complex. The basement level securely houses the parking garage, which is fully equipped with charging stations for electric vehicles, alongside a dedicated bicycle storage area and the private storage unit. The main entrance to the building is situated on the ground floor, ensuring ease of access. Both a modern elevator and a well maintained stairwell provide seamless access to the apartment, which features private entrances on both the second and third floors of the building.
Upon entering the main living area, one is immediately struck by the incredible sense of space and light. This is largely due to the impressive ceiling height of approximately five point one meters and the expansive floor to ceiling windows that flood the room with natural light. This extraordinary architectural feature creates a unique and uplifting living environment. From the living room, elegant sliding glass doors open directly onto the private balcony, offering a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living while providing those magnificent views over the adjacent park.
The open plan kitchen is a true centerpiece for the home. It features a large central cooking island, perfect for casual dining or socializing while preparing meals. The kitchen is fully equipped with top of the line appliances to satisfy even the most discerning chef. These include a high end Gaggenau induction hob, two Siemens combination ovens that function as both a steam oven and a microwave oven, a convenient Quooker tap that provides instant boiling water, and a fully integrated Siemens dishwasher. The combination of these premium appliances and the thoughtful layout makes cooking and entertaining an absolute pleasure.
The master bedroom is a luxurious retreat. It benefits from an en suite bathroom that features a spacious walk in shower, a stylish double vanity unit, and a separate toilet. The sleeping area is elegantly divided from the dressing space by beautifully crafted, made to measure Italian wardrobes that offer ample storage while maintaining a sleek aesthetic. An internal staircase, which also incorporates clever additional storage space underneath, leads gracefully to the upper floor of the duplex. Here, the spacious landing area is currently utilized as a quiet and productive study space, demonstrating the versatility of the layout. The upper hallway provides access to the second and third bedrooms. Both of these rooms are generously proportioned and enjoy peaceful views over the interior courtyard garden.
Serving the upper floor is a second, fully equipped bathroom. This space includes a large walk in shower, a comfortable bathtub perfect for relaxing, and a modern washbasin. Furthermore, the apartment has been designed with maximum convenience in mind, featuring a separate guest toilet and a dedicated, fully fitted laundry room, ensuring that household chores are kept entirely separate from the main living and sleeping areas.
The Homeowners Association, known locally as the Vereniging van Eigenaars, is a small and intimate community consisting of just six members. This small scale nature fosters a pleasant, engaged, and highly cooperative atmosphere among the residents. It guarantees a peaceful living environment while also offering flexibility in terms of participation and decision making within the building management. It is important to note for potential buyers that the property is situated on leasehold land. The annual ground rent, known as erfpachtcanon, is set at ten thousand two hundred and ninety six euros and thirty nine cents for the apartment itself, and an additional three hundred and forty one euros and twenty nine cents for the parking space. For those requiring a dedicated parking spot, a space located in the secure underground garage is available to purchase separately for sixty five thousand euros, subject to buyer costs.
The property boasts an array of specific characteristics and premium features that make it highly desirable. As a newly built duplex apartment of approximately one hundred and forty nine square meters, it offers a fresh and modern canvas for its new owners. The sunny south west facing balcony is a significant highlight, providing the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the afternoon and evening sun while taking in the views of the Bella Vistapark. Access to the beautifully landscaped communal residents garden adds an extra dimension of outdoor living space. The inclusion of a private storage unit in the basement and the availability of a dedicated parking space offer practical solutions for urban living. The presence of an elevator adds to the overall accessibility and convenience of the building. With three well proportioned bedrooms and two luxurious bathrooms, the property is perfectly suited for families, couples who enjoy hosting, or professionals working from home. The installation of solar panels is a major advantage, resulting in exceptionally low utility costs and a reduced carbon footprint. The open plan kitchen with its impressive cooking island serves as the heart of the home. The added convenience of a separate guest toilet and a dedicated laundry room ensures the main living areas remain uncluttered and serene. The entire apartment is fitted with state of the art underfloor heating and cooling systems, guaranteeing optimal comfort regardless of the season. An advanced ventilation and climate system provides a constant supply of filtered fresh air, coupled with self regulating temperature control to maintain the perfect indoor environment all year round. The high quality finish, combined with the inclusion of HR glass and comprehensive insulation, ensures the home is quiet, warm, and highly energy efficient, holding a prestigious A energy label.
