Renovated Maisonette with Spacious Southwest-Facing Garden

Located in the Dirk Bonsstraat in Amsterdam, this property is a renovated maisonette situated in the Dobbebuurt area of Amsterdam-West. The apartment spans approximately 68.5 square meters according to the NEN 2580 measurement report, distributed across two separate living levels. The building dates back to 1953 and features a flat roof covered with bituminous roofing material.

The entrance to the property is located on the first floor. Upon entering, you are welcomed into a hallway that provides access to a separate toilet and the modern closed kitchen. The kitchen was installed with Miele built-in appliances in 2024 and includes an induction hob with an integrated extractor hood, an oven, a refrigerator, a freezer, and a dishwasher. From the kitchen, there is direct access to a balcony where you can enjoy the evening sun.

The living room on this upper level is spacious and bright, featuring a wooden parquet floor. An internal staircase within the living area creates a natural division between the sitting area and the dining space. The dining area is positioned at the rear of the property, providing a suitable space for meals and social gatherings.

Descending the internal staircase brings you to the lower level of the maisonette. Here you will find two well-proportioned bedrooms and a bathroom that was completely renovated in 2024. The bathroom is equipped with a walk-in shower and a modern vanity unit with washbasin.

One of the bedrooms on the lower floor provides direct access to the backyard. The garden measures approximately 72 square meters and faces southwest, offering exposure to afternoon and evening sunlight. The homeowners association has granted permission for the installation of an external staircase connecting the balcony to the garden, which would provide an additional route between the upper and lower outdoor areas.

In addition to the living space and garden, the property includes an external storage box of approximately 7 square meters. The storage unit has electricity but no insulation.

The property holds an energy label B and features double glazing, HR glazing, and wall insulation. Heating and hot water are provided by a Remeha gas-fired combination boiler that was installed in 2013 and is owned by the current proprietor. The property has both mechanical and natural ventilation systems, as well as a TV cable connection. The listing also mentions the presence of solar panels, though specific details about these are not provided in the property characteristics.

The leasehold on this property has been perpetually bought off, meaning there are no ongoing leasehold payments to consider. This is a significant financial consideration for prospective buyers in Amsterdam where leasehold costs can affect monthly expenses.

The property is part of a homeowners association consisting of 56 apartment rights. The VvE is professionally managed by VvE Metea and is described as active and healthy. A long-term maintenance plan is in place through 2036, and the reserve fund holds more than 325,000 euros. The monthly VvE contribution is 248 euros. The association is registered with the Chamber of Commerce, holds annual meetings, has building insurance in place, and maintains both a reserve fund and a maintenance plan.

The location is in the Kolenkit neighborhood, described as a popular and developing area with an increasing number of shops, restaurants, and other amenities. Gerbrandypark is within walking distance, offering opportunities for sports and recreation. The Bos en Lommerplein with its various shops and market is nearby. By bicycle, residents can reach Westerpark, Rembrandtpark, the Ten Katemarkt, De Hallen, and the Jordaan within a few minutes.

Public transportation options are conveniently close, with a metro and tram stop approximately two minutes away on foot. Schiphol Airport can be reached by public transport in about 15 minutes. For car owners, the Ring A10 highway provides good connectivity, though parking in the area requires a permit and is subject to paid parking regulations.

The asking price is 475,000 euros, which translates to approximately 6,884 euros per square meter based on the stated living area of 69 square meters. The property is offered with costs borne by the buyer. The delivery date is to be agreed upon between the parties.

The total building volume is 241 cubic meters. In addition to the 69 square meters of living space, there is 18 square meters of building-bound outdoor space and the previously mentioned 7 square meters of external storage. The property is situated on a quiet road within a residential area and is noted as being accessible for elderly residents.

This maisonette presents itself as a move-in-ready property following the 2024 renovations to the kitchen and bathroom. The combination of the renovated interior, the unusually large garden for an apartment of this size, the perpetually bought-off leasehold, and the strong financial position of the VvE are notable features of this listing.
