Modern Maisonette with Private Parking and Canal Views in Amsterdam West
Key Features
Upsides
- The perpetual leasehold has been fully paid off, eliminating ongoing ground lease payments which can be a significant financial burden with Amsterdam properties.
- A private underground parking space is included with the apartment, which is a valuable asset in Amsterdam where parking spaces are expensive and difficult to obtain.
- The energy label A rating combined with district heating, full insulation, and HR++ double glazing indicates low energy costs and a comfortable living environment.
- The VvE has a substantial reserve fund of 180,000 euros, suggesting good financial health and reduced risk of special assessments for future maintenance.
- The location offers excellent connectivity with multiple public transport options nearby, easy access to the A10 ring road, and proximity to several parks including Erasmuspark, Westerpark, and Rembrandtpark.
Downsides
- The delivery date is set for early September 2026, meaning buyers would need to wait approximately two years before being able to move in.
- Both bedrooms are located at the front of the building, which could potentially result in noise from the street and limited privacy compared to rear-facing bedrooms.
- The balconies face east, meaning they receive morning sun but will be in shade during the afternoon and evening hours when people typically use outdoor spaces.
- At 83.4 square meters for a three-room layout, the living space is relatively compact, particularly for a property at this price point.
- The Kolenkitbuurt, while improved in recent years, historically had a challenging reputation which some buyers may still factor into their decision.
Description
This modern three-room maisonette apartment is situated in the Bos en Lommer district of Amsterdam West, specifically within the LommerRijk project located along the Erasmusgracht. The property spans two floors, occupying both the first and second levels of the building, which was originally constructed in 2009. The apartment offers a living area of 83.4 square meters according to the NEN2580 measurement standard, with a gross floor area of 85.9 square meters and 4.8 square meters of building-bound outdoor space consisting of two balconies.
The entrance to the apartment is located on the first floor, accessible via either the elevator or the communal stairwell. Upon entering, you are welcomed into a hallway that provides space for a coat closet. From here, an industrial steel door leads to the dining area with an open-plan kitchen. The modern kitchen is well-equipped with built-in appliances including a dishwasher, a fridge-freezer combination, a combi-oven, and an induction cooktop with a range hood. The living room benefits from abundant natural light due to the tall windows, and features PVC flooring with underfloor heating. The hallway on this level also contains a separate toilet and a storage closet that also houses the staircase to the upper floor.
The internal staircase leads to the second floor where the sleeping quarters are located. The master bedroom is situated at the front of the property and offers sufficient space to accommodate a home office setup. The second bedroom is also located at the front of the building and is described as being well-proportioned. The bathroom on this level is fitted with a bathtub, a walk-in shower, a vanity with a cabinet, and a washing machine connection. A second toilet is also located on this floor for added convenience.
One of the notable features of this property is the inclusion of a private underground parking space, which can be reached via the elevator or stairwell leading to the basement level. A secure communal bicycle storage area is also available in the basement. The apartment further benefits from two east-facing balconies that provide morning sun and unobstructed views over the Erasmusgracht.
The building is part of a larger residential complex that underwent significant renovation and redevelopment in recent years as part of the revitalization of the Kolenkit neighborhood. The result is a contemporary residential area with sustainable housing options. Residents have access to a large communal courtyard garden, and the property is located adjacent to a grassy area along the Erasmusgracht suitable for outdoor relaxation.
The location in Amsterdam West offers convenient access to various amenities and green spaces. The Erasmuspark is nearby, hosting regular theater performances, exhibitions, and festivals, with Terrasmus being a popular gathering spot. The Westerpark, Rembrandtpark, and Sloterplas are also within comfortable cycling distance. The neighborhood features numerous dining establishments including Café Buurman & Buurman, Bagel & Beans, and MasMais Taqueria, as well as the Mozaïek cultural center. Sportplaza Mercator, which includes indoor and outdoor swimming facilities, is approximately a seven-minute walk from the property.
For daily shopping needs, residents can visit the Bos & Lommerplein or the Jan van Galenstraat and Jan Evertsenstraat commercial areas. Public transportation options are extensive, with tram lines 7 and 19 and bus lines 15, 21, and 247 located nearby. The A10 ring road is easily accessible, and Amsterdam Sloterdijk station is within cycling distance.
The property is held under a perpetual leasehold (eeuwigdurend erfpacht) that has been fully paid off to the Municipality of Amsterdam, meaning there are no ongoing leasehold payments. The apartment has an energy label A rating, indicating high energy efficiency. The building features HR++ double-glazed windows with aluminum frames and is fully insulated. Heating and hot water are provided through the district heating system (stadsverwarming), and the property includes mechanical ventilation.
The homeowners association (VvE) is active and professionally managed by Twins VvE Beheer. Monthly service costs amount to 155.33 euros, and the association maintains a healthy reserve fund of approximately 180,000 euros. 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 coverage.
The property is being offered at a price of 595,000 euros, which translates to approximately 7,169 euros per square meter of living space. The listed delivery date is early September 2026, indicating this is an off-plan or pre-sale arrangement despite the building dating from 2009. The cadastral designation is Amsterdam D 9868, and the property falls under municipal leasehold with the perpetual lease fully paid. The surrounding area has paid public parking and parking permit systems in place.
