Spacious Renovated Family Home in Green and Child-Friendly Middenhoven
Key Features
Upsides
- Recent comprehensive renovations in 2021 including the kitchen, bathroom, flooring, and stairs, plus a new garden layout and CV boiler in 2023, resulting in a move-in ready modern home.
- Energy label A rating with six solar panels, double glazing, and a modern 2023 high-efficiency boiler, leading to lower energy costs and reduced environmental impact.
- Family-friendly Middenhoven location with schools, childcare, sports facilities, and playgrounds nearby, plus a green play field view from the master bedroom.
- Excellent accessibility to Amsterdam, Schiphol Airport, and surrounding areas via nearby public transport and quick access to the A9 and A10 highways.
Downsides
- Northeast facing garden receives limited afternoon and evening sunlight, which may be a consideration for those who prioritize sunny outdoor dining spaces.
- At 44 square meters, the garden is relatively modest in size for a family home, particularly given the asking price point.
- As a terraced house (tussenwoning), the property has shared walls with neighbors, offering less privacy compared to detached or semi-detached alternatives.
- The asking price of €835,000 translates to approximately €6,680 per square meter, which is at the higher end for the Amstelveen market.
- Built in 1989, the property does not offer the modern construction standards and layouts found in newer developments, despite the recent renovations.
Description
This spacious family home is located in the popular Middenhoven neighborhood in Amstelveen. The property offers approximately 125 square meters of living space and is situated on a 133 square meter plot of private land. Built in 1989, the residence has undergone significant renovations in recent years, resulting in a modern and well-maintained home that meets contemporary living standards.
The ground floor features a bright and spacious living room with large windows that allow ample natural light to enter the space. The living area is equipped with underfloor heating installed in 2021, providing comfortable warmth throughout the colder months. An air conditioning unit has also been installed in the living room, ensuring a pleasant indoor climate during warmer periods. The floor throughout the entire house is finished with an attractive herringbone pattern PVC flooring that adds a sense of quality and continuity to the interior.
The modern open kitchen was renovated in 2021 and is fitted with various built-in appliances from quality brands. The kitchen includes two large refrigerators, a freezer, a SMEG induction cooktop, a SMEG oven, a dishwasher, a water filtration system, and a designer extraction hood. This setup makes the kitchen well-suited for families who enjoy cooking and entertaining.
The ground floor also includes a separate toilet room with a small sink, a meter cupboard, and the staircase leading to the first floor. The stairs have been refinished and equipped with integrated lighting in 2021, adding both safety and a modern touch to the entrance area.
The first floor comprises a generous landing that provides access to three bedrooms and a spacious bathroom. Two of the bedrooms are located at the rear of the property and have been enlarged through the addition of wide dormer windows. These dormers significantly improve the natural light in both rooms and create additional usable space. The master bedroom is situated at the front of the house and offers a view over a green play field, which adds to the peaceful character of this room.
The bathroom was completely renovated in 2021 and features a walk-in shower, a double vanity with a cabinet, and a second toilet. The use of modern materials and fixtures gives the bathroom a contemporary and clean appearance.
The second floor, or attic level, has been cleverly designed to maximize its potential. This space offers an additional room that can serve as either a bedroom or a home office, complete with a skylight for natural light. Additionally, this floor houses a practical laundry room and provides ample storage space. The central heating boiler, a Remeha Tzerra Ace 39C CW5 installed in 2023, is neatly concealed behind a sliding door.
The property has an energy label A rating, valid until June 11, 2036, indicating its high energy efficiency. This favorable rating is achieved through a combination of double glazing, six solar panels, and a modern high-efficiency boiler. The energy-efficient features contribute to lower monthly energy costs and reduce the environmental impact of the home.
The garden, which was completely redesigned in 2023, is located on the northeast side of the property. Despite its orientation, the garden has been thoughtfully laid out to create an enjoyable outdoor space. The garden includes an outdoor kitchen, making it ideal for barbecuing and outdoor dining. A rear access path provides convenience, and a freestanding stone shed offers additional storage. The garden measures 44 square meters with a depth of 7.90 meters and a width of 5.55 meters.
The Middenhoven neighborhood is particularly valued by families due to its quiet and green character. The area is known for its spacious layout, numerous green spaces, and excellent facilities for residents of all ages. Several primary schools, childcare centers, sports clubs, and playgrounds are located within close proximity, creating a safe and pleasant environment for children to grow up.
For recreation and relaxation, multiple parks and walking areas are available in the direct vicinity. Daily shopping needs can be met at nearby shopping centers, including Winkelcentrum Middenhoven and the extensive Stadshart Amstelveen, which offers a wide range of shops, restaurants, and cultural facilities.
The location also excels in terms of accessibility. Tram and bus connections are within walking distance and provide quick links to Amsterdam, Schiphol Airport, and surrounding municipalities. By car, the Beneluxbaan, A9, and A10 highways are easily accessible, allowing residents to reach Amsterdam, Schiphol, or the center of Amstelveen within a short time.
Parking is available on the public road directly in front of the property. The house is classified as a terraced property (tussenwoning) with a gable roof covered with tiles. The total volume of the building is 443 cubic meters. The property is offered with a listed asking price and is available for viewing by appointment.
The combination of recent renovations, an energy-efficient profile, a family-friendly location, and good accessibility makes this property well-suited for families looking for a modern home in a desirable Amstelveen neighborhood.
