Description
Welcome to a bright and spacious four room maisonette located at Buyskade 98 in the sought after Amsterdam Westerpark district. The residence offers a living area of approximately 112 square metres measured according to the NEN2580 standard. It is positioned on the third and fourth floors of a well maintained complex that was built in 2002 and is equipped with a lift for convenient access.
The property benefits from an energy label of A thanks to good insulation, double glazing and underfloor heating. The heating system is a gas fired combi boiler installed in 2018 and is owned by the condominium. The complex also features solar panels which contribute to the overall energy efficiency.
Upon entering the building you reach the maisonette by means of a private entrance and the lift. The lift stops on the third floor where a short internal staircase leads to the main living level on the fourth floor. This level contains the living room which opens onto large glass doors that face the water and provide a clear view of the surrounding green space and the historic De Otter mill. The natural light that pours in through the extensive glazing creates a feeling of spaciousness throughout the day.
Adjacent to the living room is the dining area which gives direct access to a west facing balcony measuring about seven square metres. The balcony receives afternoon and evening sun and offers an outdoor setting from which to enjoy the water scenery. The open kitchen is centrally located between the living and dining spaces. It was completely renewed in 2019 and is fitted with modern built‑in appliances, ample countertop space and practical storage solutions. The flooring on the living level is a durable polished concrete surface that is easy to maintain.
The sleeping quarters are arranged on the third floor. There are three well proportioned bedrooms, each offering a quiet environment suitable for rest. The bathroom on this level was modernised in 2023 and includes a walk‑in shower, a contemporary vanity unit and a wash basin. In addition to the main bathroom there are separate toilets on each floor, providing convenience for residents and guests.
Additional storage is available through a dedicated storage room of roughly nineteen square metres and a private parking space located in the underground garage. The parking space is included in the asking price. The leasehold ground rent has been paid up to the year 2051, providing long term security for the owner.
The neighbourhood surrounding Buyskade is characterised by a quiet, low traffic environment that is also child friendly. The property enjoys a direct water frontage on the Kostverlorenvaart and is set back from the main streets, offering a sense of privacy while still being within walking distance of the Westerpark. The park provides a variety of recreational facilities, cafés, cultural events and sports opportunities. The historic Jordaan area, known for its narrow streets, boutique shops and lively restaurants, is a short bike ride away. Public transport connections are strong with easy access to Amsterdam Central Station and Sloterdijk. Major road arteries such as the S100 and S105 are quickly reachable by car.
The homeowners association is described as active and financially healthy. Monthly service costs amount to €146.56 and cover communal expenses including maintenance of the lift, cleaning of common areas and contributions to the reserve fund. A multi‑year maintenance plan is in place, ensuring that long term upkeep of the building is managed responsibly.
Sustainability features of the home include good insulation, double glazing, underfloor heating and the presence of solar panels on the roof. These elements work together to keep energy consumption low and provide a comfortable indoor climate throughout the year.
In summary the maisonette offers a combination of modern interior finishes, a water view, private outdoor space, ample storage, a dedicated parking place and a location that balances tranquility with easy access to urban amenities. The property is ready for immediate occupation and has been kept in excellent condition with recent updates to the kitchen and bathroom. Potential buyers are advised to conduct their own investigations and consider engaging a qualified real estate professional for assistance with the purchase process.
