Description
Situated on one of the most beloved quays in Amsterdam, this fully renovated apartment at Da Costakade offers an exceptional living experience in the heart of Amsterdam Oud-West. This residence, located on the ground floor, spans approximately 46 square meters and combines high quality finishing with modern living comfort. The property has been renovated from top to bottom, resulting in a move-in ready home that exudes luxury. The location is truly distinctive, offering a view over the water of the Da Costakade while placing the vibrant dynamics of the city literally just around the corner. This listing presents an opportunity to acquire a home where high-grade materials, a thoughtful layout, and an abundance of natural light converge to create a pleasant living environment.
The apartment is accessible via a private entrance, ensuring a sense of privacy and autonomy from the moment you step inside. The layout is designed to maximize both comfort and functionality. At the front of the house, the living room welcomes residents with a generous amount of natural light streaming through large windows. This space offers a free and unobstructed view over the Da Costakade, allowing one to enjoy the characteristic Amsterdam street scene and the water. The connection between the indoors and the outdoors is palpable here, providing a serene spot to observe the canal life. The living room is seamlessly connected to the luxury open kitchen, which has been recently completely renewed and equipped with high-quality built-in appliances.
The kitchen serves as a focal point of the interior, designed to meet the needs of the modern home cook. It features a Quooker for instant boiling water, a built-in wine climate cabinet for keeping beverages at the optimal temperature, and a modern induction cooktop with an integrated extraction system. This integration ensures that the kitchen aesthetic remains sleek and uncluttered while effectively managing cooking vapors. The combination of design and functionality in this space makes it ideal for both daily meals and entertaining guests. Throughout the entire property, a beautiful herringbone floor has been installed, which adds a layer of warmth and elegance to the interior. This flooring is complemented by comfortable underfloor heating, ensuring a pleasant temperature throughout the year and eliminating the need for radiators that could disrupt the visual flow of the rooms.
Located at the quiet rear side of the apartment, the bedroom provides a necessary contrast to the lively front. This room looks out onto an inner courtyard, which guarantees peace and privacy, essential for a good night's rest. The tranquility of this space makes it a perfect retreat from the bustling city life. Adjacent to the bedroom is the modern bathroom, which has also been fully renovated. It is executed with high-quality materials and features a timeless finish, including a shower and a washbasin. A separate toilet is also present, adding to the practicality of the layout. The attention to detail in the renovation is evident in every room, from the choice of materials to the quality of the installation.
Living on the Da Costakade means residing in one of the most sought-after locations in Amsterdam Oud-West. This area is cherished by both locals and international residents for its unique blend of atmosphere, amenities, and accessibility. The neighborhood offers the best of both worlds. One can enjoy the rest and character of living on a historic canal while having all the dynamism of the city within reach. The famous De Hallen, the Vondelpark, the Ten Katemarkt, and the Nine Streets are all within walking distance. This proximity ensures that a wide range of restaurants, cafes, specialty shops, and cultural venues are readily available. The Jacob van Lennepkade is also nearby, further extending the options for leisure and dining.
The technical specifications of the property align with its luxury status. The apartment has an Energy Label A, which is a significant achievement for a building constructed in 1888, indicating excellent insulation and energy efficiency. The heating is provided by a central heating boiler in combination with the underfloor heating. The windows and insulation have been addressed during the renovation to improve the overall energy performance of the home. The property is delivered with a NEN2580 measurement report, providing certainty regarding the living area.
The management of the building is handled by a professionally run Owners Association (VvE). The VvE is active, financially healthy, and has a multi-year maintenance plan in place. The monthly contribution is set at 157.20 euros, which covers the shared costs and ensures the building is maintained properly. The presence of a reserve fund and building insurance adds an extra layer of security for the owners. The property is located on private land, meaning there is no ground lease (erfpacht) to worry about, which is a considerable financial advantage in Amsterdam.
For those with a car, it is important to note that the street falls under a paid parking system. While this is standard for this central location, potential residents should be aware of the costs and procedures associated with obtaining a parking permit. However, the excellent accessibility of public transport options offers a viable alternative for commuting, as various trams and buses are within easy reach, providing quick connections to Amsterdam Central Station and other parts of the city.
This apartment represents a rare chance to secure a fully renovated home in a prime location. The combination of the luxury finish, the energy efficiency, and the stunning view over the Da Costakade makes this a unique listing. Whether you are looking for a comfortable residence for yourself or a high-quality investment property in a popular neighborhood, this apartment ticks all the boxes. The careful renovation has respected the character of the building while introducing modern comforts, resulting in a home that is ready for immediate occupation. The Da Costakade 207-H is more than just a place to live, it is a lifestyle choice that places you at the center of one of Amsterdam's most dynamic and desirable districts.
