Stylish Studio with Balcony in Popular De Pijp
Key Features
Description
This studio apartment is situated on the Ceintuurbaan in the Willibrordusbuurt area of Amsterdam, located in the highly sought after De Pijp neighborhood. The property offers approximately 30 square meters of living space and is positioned on the third floor at the rear of the building, providing a quiet living environment despite being in one of the most vibrant areas of Amsterdam South.
The apartment features an efficient layout that makes good use of the available space. The living area flows into a modern open kitchen that comes equipped with built-in appliances, making it practical for daily use. The property includes one bedroom area, which is typical for studio apartments in this price segment in Amsterdam.
One of the notable features of this property is the sunny balcony measuring approximately 7 square meters. This outdoor space provides a pleasant area to enjoy the outdoors during warmer months. The balcony faces the rear of the building, which contributes to the peaceful atmosphere of the apartment.
The property benefits from plastic window frames with double glazing throughout, which helps with insulation and energy efficiency. Heating and hot water are provided by a gas fired combi boiler, specifically an Intergas Kombi Kompact HRE 24/18 model from 2009. This boiler is owned by the current owner and will transfer to the buyer. The apartment has received an energy label B rating, indicating it meets reasonable standards for energy efficiency.
The bathroom is equipped with a shower, toilet, and washbasin, providing all essential facilities within a compact space. The total volume of the apartment is 100 cubic meters.
A significant advantage of this property is that it is located on owned ground, meaning there is no leasehold (erfpacht) arrangement to consider. This eliminates future leasehold payments and simplifies the ownership structure, which is particularly valuable in Amsterdam where leasehold is common.
The building itself dates from 1897, which places it in the characteristic Amsterdam School architecture era. Despite its age, the apartment has been updated with modern amenities while likely retaining some period features in the building structure.
The location in De Pijp is one of the strongest selling points of this property. De Pijp is widely regarded as one of the most desirable neighborhoods in Amsterdam, known for its diverse population, excellent dining options, and lively atmosphere. The Albert Cuypmarket, one of the most famous street markets in the Netherlands, is within walking distance. Sarphatipark, a popular green space for residents, is also easily accessible on foot.
The immediate surroundings offer numerous shops, supermarkets, specialty stores, cafes, and restaurants, providing everything needed for daily life within a short distance. The Amstel river is nearby, offering pleasant walking and cycling routes.
Transport connections are excellent. Tram stops are located around the corner from the building, and the De Pijp metro station on the North/South line provides quick access to central Amsterdam and beyond. Amstel station is easily reachable by bicycle for regional train connections. For those who drive, the Ring A10 motorway is quickly accessible via exit S110.
The apartment is part of an active homeowners association (VvE) with a monthly contribution of 76.34 euros. The VvE is properly organized with registration at the Chamber of Commerce (KvK), holds annual meetings, maintains a reserve fund, has a maintenance plan in place, and has building insurance. These elements indicate responsible management of the shared areas and building structure.
Parking in the area is through public parking spaces with a parking permit system, which is standard for this part of Amsterdam.
The asking price is 335,000 euros, which is buyer's costs (kosten koper), meaning the buyer is responsible for transfer tax, notary fees, and other transaction costs on top of the purchase price. This translates to approximately 10,806 euros per square meter of living space.
Delivery can be arranged quickly, which is beneficial for buyers who are ready to move. The purchase will be conducted using the Ring Amsterdam model contract, which is standard practice in the Amsterdam real estate market. The buyer has the right to choose a notary, provided the notary is established in Amsterdam or Amstelveen. If the buyer does not designate a notary within two working days of reaching a verbal agreement, the seller retains the right to appoint one.
This property is positioned as an ideal starter apartment, which is appropriate given its size, price point, and location. The combination of a reasonable price, energy efficiency, owned ground, and prime location in De Pijp makes this an attractive option for first time buyers looking to enter the Amsterdam property market. The efficient layout, modern kitchen, and outdoor balcony space provide the essential elements for comfortable urban living in one of the city's most popular neighborhoods.
