Spacious Apartment on Own Ground in Amsterdam Centre
Key Features
Description
This property presents a unique opportunity to acquire a residence in the Binnen Dommersstraat, situated within the vibrant and sought-after Haarlemmerbuurt-West area of Amsterdam. The apartment is located on the second and third floors of a building constructed in 1890, offering a characteristic living environment in a quiet side street. Despite its peaceful location, the home benefits immensely from its proximity to the bustling city center and the famous Jordaan district. One of the most significant advantages of this property is the ownership situation. The apartment is situated on own ground, meaning that the purchaser acquires full ownership without the burden of leasehold obligations or recurring ground rent payments. This provides a secure and financially favorable foundation for homeownership in the Dutch capital.
Upon entering the building, one accesses the apartment via a communal entrance and staircase leading to the second floor. The layout is spread over two levels, providing a clear separation between daytime and nighttime areas. On the second floor, the living room welcomes residents with a generous and practical floor plan. The open kitchen is situated within this space, though it is partially separated by a wall. This architectural feature creates a pleasant distinction between the cooking and living areas. For those who desire a different configuration, there is the potential to modify this wall. By extending the partition, it would be possible to create an additional bedroom or a separate home office, making the property adaptable to changing living needs.
Ascending to the third floor, one finds the private quarters of the home. The main bedroom is located here, offering a comfortable retreat. A notable feature of this bedroom is the presence of a practical walk-in closet, providing ample storage space for clothing and personal items. Also situated on the third floor is the bathroom. This sanitary space is well-equipped and includes a bathtub for relaxation, a toilet, a washbasin, and a designated connection for a washing machine. This central placement of the laundry facilities adds to the convenience of the daily household routine. Furthermore, the central heating boiler installation, which was renewed in 2025, is located on this floor, ensuring an efficient and modern heating system using a gas-fired combi-boiler from the brand Intergas HRE.
The surrounding environment is one of the key assets of this listing. The Haarlemmerbuurt is a popular neighborhood known for its diverse amenities and atmospheric streets. Residents have immediate access to the Haarlemmerdijk and Haarlemmerstraat, which are renowned for their mix of charming boutiques, specialty shops, and inviting restaurants and cafes. Just around the corner lies the Brouwersgracht, a picturesque canal that serves as a characteristic link between the Haarlemmerbuurt and the Jordaan. The accessibility of the location is excellent. Amsterdam Central Station is just a few minutes away by bicycle, and there are numerous bus and tram connections in the direct vicinity. For motorists, the S100 city ring road provides quick access to the A10 ring road, making the city easily reachable from outside as well.
In terms of parking, the property falls under permit area Centrum 2b. While it is possible to apply for a parking permit from the Municipality of Amsterdam, prospective buyers should be aware that current online information indicates a waiting time of approximately 24 months. It is important to note that this is an indication and no rights can be derived from it regarding the exact waiting period.
The property is part of an Owners Association (VvE) named 'Binnen Dommersstraat 16/18 te Amsterdam'. This association was established in 2013 but is currently described as dormant. The VvE consists of three members. The monthly service costs are approximately 315 euros. As the VvE is currently dormant, there is no periodic contribution or active maintenance plan in place, and no reserve fund is currently present. However, the building does have building insurance. Prospective owners should be aware that the purchase agreement will include an 'as-is-where-is' clause and a non-self-occupation clause.
Regarding the technical specifications, the home has a living area of 73.23 square meters, measured according to the NEN2580 standard. The volume of the apartment is 225 cubic meters. The energy efficiency is rated with label D, which is supported by double glazing throughout the property. The roof is flat and covered with bituminous roofing material. The property is offered for a price of 495,000 euros, costs payable by the buyer (kosten koper), which equates to approximately 6,781 euros per square meter. The delivery of the property will take place in consultation.
