Bright Maisonette with Balcony and Rooftop Terrace in Czaar Peterbuurt
Key Features
Upsides
- Energy label A rating with a heat pump installation and a relatively modern central heating boiler from 2016, contributing to lower energy costs.
- Two outdoor spaces are available: a southeast facing balcony on the third floor and a rooftop terrace on the fourth floor, both accessible through French doors.
- The ground rent has been prepaid through July 2053, meaning the new owner will have nearly 30 years without any leasehold payment obligations.
- The building was completely renovated in 2003 including a new foundation, combining authentic character with modern structural reliability.
- The location in the popular Czaar Peterbuurt offers proximity to Artis Zoo, Oosterpark, and the city center, with excellent public transportation connections.
Downsides
- The apartment is located on the third and fourth floors with access via an exterior staircase, and no elevator is mentioned, which may be challenging for some residents or when moving furniture.
- The kitchen and bathroom fixtures date from 2003 and 2004 respectively, meaning they are approximately 20 years old and may require updating in the near future.
- Planned construction work in the street will take place from 2025 through July 2026, which may cause noise, dust, and temporary accessibility issues during that period.
- The price per square meter of 10,192 euros is relatively high, even for the Amsterdam Centrum area.
- The toilet is located within the bathroom rather than in a separate room, which some buyers may find inconvenient.
Description
This maisonette apartment is situated in the sought after Czaar Peterbuurt, a charming neighborhood within the Amsterdam Centrum district. The property spans two living floors and offers a total living area of 78 square meters, complemented by 15 square meters of outdoor space in the form of a balcony and a rooftop terrace. The building dates back to 1909 and was completely renovated and subdivided in 2003 as part of the Romanof redevelopment complex. This renovation included a new foundation, ensuring a solid base for the structure while preserving the authentic character of the original building.
Access to the apartment is via an exterior staircase leading to the main entrance door. The property is located on the third and fourth floors of the building. A separate storage room of approximately 3 square meters is available in the basement, also accessible via an exterior staircase, and comes equipped with electrical outlets for convenience.
The third floor of the apartment features a hallway that provides access to the first room. This flexible space can serve as a home office or a second bedroom, depending on the needs of the occupants. A small internal staircase leads up to the spacious living and dining area with an open kitchen. The kitchen was installed in 2004 and has a practical layout. It comes equipped with a Bosch refrigerator, an AEG freezer, a four burner gas stove by Solitaire, a Bosch range hood, a Bosch dishwasher, and a Quooker instant hot water tap. The washing machine connection is also located in the kitchen and is neatly concealed behind a cabinet door.
At the rear of the third floor, French doors open onto a southeast facing balcony. This orientation ensures plenty of sunlight during the morning and early afternoon hours. The bathroom on this floor was installed in 2003 and includes a bathtub, a walk in shower, a sink, and underfloor heating for added comfort.
A hardwood internal staircase connects the third floor to the fourth floor. The landing on the fourth floor provides access to the main bedroom, which is located at the front of the building. This bedroom features a walk in closet, and above the closet there is an additional storage space measuring approximately 1 meter in height and 3 meters in depth. The landing also offers space for a clothes dryer and features French doors that open onto the rooftop terrace, providing an excellent spot for outdoor relaxation.
The apartment benefits from an energy label A rating, which reflects its energy efficient design. Heating is provided by a central heating boiler manufactured by Nefit in 2016, which is owned by the current residents. Additionally, a heat pump is installed, contributing to the energy efficiency of the property. The building is fully equipped with double glazed windows, and mechanical ventilation is present to ensure good air quality throughout the apartment.
The property is held on perpetual leasehold under the AB2016 conditions. The conversion to perpetual leasehold took place under favorable terms, and the ground rent has been paid in full through July 15, 2053. This means the new owner will not have any ground rent obligations for nearly three decades after purchase.
The homeowner association, known as VvE Romanof III, consists of 24 units in total. The association was established on December 12, 2003, and this particular apartment represents a 750/15,033 share in the common property. The administration is professionally managed by Twinss VvE Beheer. The monthly HOA contribution is 194.66 euros, and the association has a long term maintenance plan in place, as well as a reserve fund and building insurance.
The Czaar Peterstraat is known for its charming atmosphere, characterized by a mix of historic buildings, boutique shops, and cozy restaurants and cafes. The immediate vicinity offers numerous dining options and specialty stores. Starting in 2025, redevelopment work will take place in the area, including the construction of a new tram line 1 with a new stop on Czaar Peterstraat, a new bicycle path, and the planting of new trees. These improvements are scheduled for completion by the end of July 2026.
The location offers excellent accessibility with various tram and bus connections nearby. Amsterdam Muiderpoort station is within easy reach, and by car, the main roads leading to the A10 ring road can be reached in just a few minutes. Notable nearby attractions include Artis Zoo, Oosterpark, and the center of Amsterdam, all located within a short distance.
For those requiring parking, there is an option to purchase a separate garage box located at Conradstraat 10 D, approximately a five minute walk from the apartment. The garage measures 4.98 meters in depth and 2.59 meters in width, with an asking price of 75,000 euros, costs payable by the buyer.
The property has its own dedicated website at czaarpeterstraat184-E.nl, where additional information and visual materials can be found. The delivery date is to be agreed upon with the seller, allowing for flexibility in the transaction timeline.
