Light and Quiet Top Floor Apartment in the Heart of the Jordaan

This apartment is located on Bloemstraat in the Bloemgrachtbuurt area of Amsterdam, situated in the popular Jordaan neighborhood. The property is offered at a price of 450,000 euros, with the buyer responsible for the transfer costs. The apartment has a living area of 46 square meters according to the NEN2580 measurement standard, along with 1 square meter of other indoor space. The total volume of the property is 163 cubic meters.

The building was completely newly constructed in 2008, which means that despite being located in one of the oldest and most characteristic parts of Amsterdam, the apartment benefits from modern construction quality. This includes full insulation of the roof, walls, and floors, as well as double glazing throughout the property. The energy label is rated B, reflecting the good level of insulation and energy efficiency achieved by the construction standards of 2008.

The apartment is located on the fourth and top floor of the building, which means there are no upstairs neighbors. This contributes significantly to the peaceful living experience that the property offers. Access to the apartment is via a renovated stairwell that leads to the top floor. Upon entering, there is a spacious and well-maintained hallway that provides access to all rooms in the apartment. From the hallway, one can reach the wardrobe area, the living room, the laundry room, the modern toilet, and the meter cupboard.

The living room is particularly bright thanks to large windows that allow abundant natural light to enter the space. A notable feature of this apartment is the free view at the front of the property. As the only residence in the street with this advantage, there is an unobstructed view through to the street on the opposite side, creating a spatial and characteristically Amsterdam city view. This open aspect is quite special for a property in the densely built Jordaan area.

The kitchen is arranged in a half-open layout and is finished to a modern and luxurious standard. It is equipped with various built-in appliances, making it suitable for both daily meal preparation and more extensive cooking activities. The kitchen connects naturally to the living area while maintaining a degree of separation.

At the rear of the apartment is the bedroom, which is described as spacious and enjoys a quiet position away from the street side. From the bedroom, there is access to the bathroom, which is well laid out and fitted with a bathtub and a vanity unit. Additionally, the bedroom has the benefit of a walk-in closet or storage room, providing practical storage space for clothing and personal items.

Both the living room and the bedroom are equipped with air conditioning, which is a valuable feature for maintaining comfort during warmer periods. The property also has mechanical ventilation, contributing to a healthy indoor climate. A skylight and TV connection are among the other provisions in the apartment.

Heating and hot water are provided by a gas-fired combi boiler that was installed in 2017. This boiler is owned by the current owner, so there are no rental costs associated with it. The relatively recent installation date of the boiler means it can be expected to have a reasonable remaining useful life.

An important financial aspect of this property concerns the leasehold (erfpacht). The ground lease for this apartment has been perpetually bought off (eeuwigdurend afgekocht). This means that there are no periodic leasehold payments to be made, which is a significant advantage compared to many other properties in Amsterdam where substantial annual leasehold costs apply. The listing also mentions that the property will be on owned ground in the future, which aligns with the perpetually paid off leasehold status.

The property is part of a homeowners association (VvE) that is registered with the Chamber of Commerce. The VvE holds annual meetings and has a maintenance plan in place. A reserve fund is present, and the building is insured through a building insurance policy. The monthly VvE contribution is 180.04 euros. This amount contributes to the maintenance of the common areas and the building as a whole, including the stairwell that was recently renovated.

The location of Bloemstraat in the Jordaan is one of the strongest aspects of this property. The Jordaan is widely regarded as one of the most desirable and characteristic neighborhoods in Amsterdam. The area is known for its charming streets, canals, and vibrant atmosphere. Despite the central location, Bloemstraat itself is described as a quiet and authentic street. Within walking distance, residents have access to a wide range of amenities including cafes, restaurants, boutiques, and specialty shops. Supermarkets and daily necessities are also readily available in the immediate vicinity.

Cultural attractions, markets, and parks are easily reachable from this location. The accessibility by public transport is described as excellent, and the property can also be reached by car. Parking in the area is through paid parking and a parking permit system, which is standard for the center of Amsterdam.

The asking price per square meter for this property is approximately 9,783 euros. This figure should be considered in the context of the Amsterdam city center market, where prices per square meter are typically high. The perpetually paid off leasehold adds value to the property compared to similar apartments where leasehold costs still apply.

Delivery of the property is by mutual agreement, allowing flexibility for both buyer and seller to arrange a suitable transfer date. The listing includes the standard disclaimer that the information has been compiled with care but that no liability is accepted for any incompleteness or inaccuracies. All measurements and surface areas are indicative, and the buyer has a duty to investigate all matters that are important to them. The estate agent acting on this listing is acting as advisor to the seller.
