Sustainable XL Apartment with Terrace in Amsterdam-Noord
Key Features
Upsides
- The apartment is fully gas-free with energy label A, featuring city heating, underfloor heating, and a heat recovery ventilation system, making it an environmentally conscious choice.
- With 157 square meters of living space and ceilings of 3.10 meters, the apartment offers exceptional spatial quality that is rare in urban apartments.
- The property includes a fixed parking space in the garage, which is a significant advantage in Amsterdam where parking can be difficult and expensive.
- The apartment is turn-key ready with high-quality custom-built furnishings, two luxurious bathrooms, and a modern kitchen with premium Siemens appliances.
- The 23 square meter southeast-facing terrace directly borders the communal garden, providing a private outdoor space with pleasant views.
Downsides
- The ground lease (erfpacht) costs 2,749 euros per year and although it is perpetually bought off after 2068, buyers must consider this ongoing financial obligation.
- At 7,611 euros per square meter, the price per square meter is relatively high even for Amsterdam standards.
- The monthly service costs of 340.82 euros are substantial, though this does include parking garage access and common area maintenance.
- The solar panels only serve the common areas of the VvE and do not directly reduce the individual apartment's energy costs.
- Although Buiksloterham has developed significantly, some buyers may still consider Amsterdam-Noord less central than other city districts.
Description
This spacious apartment is located in Buiksloterham, a neighborhood in Amsterdam-Noord that has undergone significant development in recent years. The apartment building was constructed with a strong emphasis on sustainability, material reuse, natural light, and ecological building practices. The development process included resident input, which influenced features such as the indoor parking garage, bicycle storage, and the landscaped communal inner garden.
The apartment is situated on the first floor of the building and has a living area of approximately 157 square meters. The ceiling height throughout the residence measures 3.10 meters, which contributes to a spacious and open atmosphere. The property includes three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, along with a separate guest toilet.
Upon entering the apartment through the hallway, residents are greeted by custom-built closets, the high ceiling, a black steel door with glass panels, and a Hungarian point style floor. The guest toilet is located to the right of the entrance, while the living area is accessible from the other side.
The living room is positioned on the west side of the apartment and features large windows and a French balcony with sliding doors. These elements allow for substantial natural light and create an impression of additional space. The room includes custom furnishings such as a modern television cabinet and two large sliding doors. When opened, these doors extend the living room and can create a private sleeping and bathroom area for guests.
Behind these sliding doors, there is a hallway leading to a multifunctional space currently used as a home office, which can also serve as a third bedroom. From this hallway, there is access to another bedroom, a laundry room with storage, and a stylish bathroom. The laundry room features custom cabinetry with built-in washing machine and dryer connections. The bathroom in this section includes a walk-in shower, a toilet, and a custom bathroom vanity with sink.
The living room connects openly to the kitchen and adjoining dining room. Together, these spaces form a living area of approximately 73 square meters. The kitchen is equipped with a cooking and washing island as well as a coffee corner. Built-in appliances include an induction cooktop with integrated extraction, a Quooker instant boiling water tap, a dishwasher, a refrigerator, a freezer, a steam oven, and a combi-oven, all from Siemens. The dining room offers space for a large dining table and additional furniture such as a piano. Double doors provide access to the terrace.
The master bedroom is located on the southeast side of the apartment and includes a walk-in closet and an en-suite bathroom. The bedroom features custom-built bed furniture and high closets in the dressing area. Both the bedroom and bathroom have direct access to the terrace. The en-suite bathroom is equipped with a freestanding bathtub, a double walk-in shower, and a double vanity with two sinks.
The private terrace measures approximately 23 square meters and is over 11 meters wide. It faces southeast and borders directly onto the communal inner garden. The outdoor space offers views of modern apartment buildings, some of which feature wooden facades and greenery on the building exterior.
The apartment is fully turn-key ready and gas-free. Sustainability features include city heating, underfloor heating throughout, a heat recovery ventilation system (WTW), and solar panels that serve the common areas of the homeowners association. The energy label is rated A, valid until December 2033.
The property includes one fixed parking space (number 22) in the underground parking garage. There is also access to a secure, shared bicycle storage area.
Buiksloterham is known for its relaxed atmosphere and distinctive architecture. The NDSM wharf with various restaurants and terraces is within walking distance, as is the IJ riverbank. Daily amenities such as supermarkets, sports clubs, schools, and public transportation are available in the immediate vicinity. The free ferries to the Houthavens and Amsterdam Central Station are easily accessible. The property is also well-connected to the A10 ring road and other major routes.
The monthly service costs amount to 340.82 euros. The ground lease (erfpacht) is 2,749 euros per year and is revised every 25 years. The ground lease is payable until September 15, 2068, after which it has been perpetually bought off.
The building includes a lift, making the first floor easily accessible. The apartment has an alarm system, TV cable connection, and mechanical ventilation. The construction was completed in 2021 and is covered by a Woningborg Guarantee Certificate.
