Spacious Sustainable Family Home with Carport in Buiksloterham
Key Features
Upsides
- Energy Label A+ with 16 solar panels and full insulation results in low monthly energy costs and a reduced environmental footprint.
- Five bedrooms and two bathrooms provide ample space and convenience for families, with the flexibility to use rooms as home offices or additional storage.
- The private carport offers dedicated covered parking directly at the property, which is a significant advantage in Amsterdam where parking can be difficult.
- The location combines a quiet residential setting with practical amenities including a shopping center, metro connection, and primary school all within walking distance.
- The west-facing terrace with views of water and greenery provides a pleasant outdoor space for relaxation and entertaining.
Downsides
- The ground lease (erfpacht) is only paid until May 2047, meaning buyers will need to address the continuation or buyout of the ground lease in the relatively near future.
- The property has only natural ventilation without mechanical ventilation, which may be less effective for air quality and moisture control compared to more modern systems.
- As a terraced house from 1998, the property has shared walls with neighbors, offering less privacy than a detached home, and the flat roof may require maintenance.
- The storage shed is not insulated, limiting its usefulness for storing temperature-sensitive items.
- At approximately 5,147 euros per square meter, the price point may be considered high for Amsterdam North, especially given that the ground lease situation will require additional investment.

There is sufficient space in this front garden area to place seating where one can have a cup of coffee while catching the first rays of the sun.
The entrance hall has been thoughtfully designed with practical elements in mind. Here you will find a separate toilet, a small storage area, and access to both the staircase leading to the upper floors and the living room. This layout ensures that daily routines flow smoothly.
The living room is generous in size and has an inviting atmosphere thanks to the abundant natural light that enters through the large windows.

Located at the front of the house is the spacious open kitchen. The kitchen features a practical tile floor and offers plenty of work surface area, making it well-suited for those who enjoy cooking.

Public transportation is easily accessible with the North-South metro line nearby, connecting residents to the rest of Amsterdam quickly and conveniently. This allows for easy exploration of the city without the concerns of traffic or parking.
