Description
This apartment is situated on Cornelis Anthoniszstraat in the highly sought-after Amsterdam Oud-Zuid district. The property forms part of the Corner Stones Suites project, a distinctive development that has been finished to a high standard throughout. The building benefits from a renewed foundation, which is an important consideration for properties of this age in Amsterdam.
The apartment is located on the top floor of the building, which provides a sense of privacy and tranquility. The living area measures approximately 50 square meters according to the NEN 2580 measurement standard. Upon entering the building, the quality of the communal areas is immediately apparent, reflecting the premium character that has been maintained throughout the entire project.
The living room is bright and efficiently laid out. Large window sections allow for abundant natural light to enter the space. The floor has been finished with a continuous herringbone pattern, which gives the room a warm and stylish appearance. The open corner kitchen integrates seamlessly with the living area and has been executed in dark walnut wood. The kitchen is equipped with high-quality built-in appliances including a four-burner cooktop, a combination oven and microwave, a refrigerator, a Quooker instant boiling water tap, and various Siemens appliances. The combination of premium materials and a practical layout makes the kitchen both visually appealing and functional for daily use.
The apartment contains two bedrooms. The primary bedroom is described as spacious. The second bedroom is located at the quiet rear side of the property. Both bedrooms have been fitted with custom-built wardrobes that include integrated lighting, which adds a touch of luxury and provides practical storage solutions.
The bathroom features a walk-in shower and has been designed with careful attention to detail. The walls are finished with distinctive green glazed tiles, and the custom vanity unit is made from dark wood. The sanitary fittings are of a high quality, creating an atmosphere that resembles a boutique hotel. The separate toilet has been finished to the same high standard, ensuring a cohesive design throughout the apartment.
One of the most notable features of this property is the private rooftop terrace measuring approximately 17 square meters. From this elevated position, residents can enjoy panoramic views over the Amsterdam skyline. The terrace is generously sized and has an open position, making it suitable for relaxation, entertaining guests, or outdoor dining. Such outdoor spaces are relatively rare for apartments in this part of the city.
The ceiling height throughout the apartment is approximately 2.15 meters, which is characteristic of this type of top-floor apartment in older Amsterdam buildings. This measurement is worth noting for prospective buyers who may have specific requirements regarding ceiling height.
The property is located on freehold land, meaning there is no ground lease (erfpacht) to consider. This is a significant advantage in the Amsterdam property market where ground lease conditions can affect property values and ongoing costs. The building dates from 1919 and is situated within a protected cityscape (beschermd stads- of dorpsgezicht).
The location in Oud-Zuid is considered one of the most desirable in Amsterdam. The property is within walking distance of major attractions including Museumplein, Vondelpark, and Sarphatipark. The immediate neighborhood offers a wide selection of restaurants, cafes, specialty shops, and supermarkets. Public transport connections are readily available, providing access to all parts of the city. The Zuidas business district, Amsterdam Central Station, and the A10 ring road are all easily reachable.
An additional advantage of this location is the proximity to De Pijp neighborhood. Residents can enjoy the elegant atmosphere of Oud-Zuid while being within walking distance of the vibrant De Pijp area with its popular cafes, restaurants, and the famous Albert Cuyp Market. This combination allows residents to experience the best aspects of two of Amsterdam's most sought-after neighborhoods.
The property has been awarded an Energy Label A, indicating a high level of energy efficiency. The insulation includes double glazing, floor insulation, and full insulation throughout. Heating is provided by a central heating boiler with partial underfloor heating. The HR combination boiler was installed in 2023 and is owned by the current owner, meaning it will transfer to the buyer.
The Homeowners Association (VvE) is active and professionally managed. The monthly contribution is 148 euros. The VvE has a reserve fund in place, holds annual meetings, and has a maintenance plan. Building insurance (opstalverzekering) is also arranged through the VvE.
The asking price for this property is 625,000 euros, which is payable by the buyer (kosten koper). This translates to approximately 12,500 euros per square meter of living space. The property is currently available and the acceptance terms are negotiable. A quick completion is possible as the apartment is in turnkey condition.
Parking in the area is regulated through a paid parking system with permit options available. The property is located on the fourth residential floor level, which should be considered in relation to the absence of an elevator in the building specification.
