Waterfront Maisonnette with Terrace, Lift and Energy Label A in Amsterdam West
Key Features
Description
This spacious three-room maisonnette of 104 square meters is situated in a prime location with stunning views over the Kostverlorenvaart, offering a large terrace on the west side as well as a balcony overlooking the water. The impressive ceiling height of over 5 meters combined with expansive windows on the water side allows natural light to flood deep into the living room. The property carries an energy label A, indicating excellent energy efficiency.
The view over the Kostverlorenvaart provides a sense of tranquility while being situated in the heart of Amsterdam West. This offers the ideal combination of urban dynamism and relaxed living by the water, all without any upstairs neighbors.
The complex was built in 1998 and is located in the popular Staatsliedenbuurt, within walking distance of Westerpark and the lively Jordaan neighborhood. The leasehold has been prepaid until 2048 and has been locked in under favorable conditions, with the annual payment after 2048 set at only 1,175 euros. The nearby parking space is available for takeover.
Note: The three-room apartment next door, approximately 87 square meters on the first floor, is available for additional purchase. A connecting passage can potentially be created.
Highlights of this property include a living area of 104 square meters, expandable to 117 square meters by enclosing the void. The property features an energy label A, a lift in the complex, and a two-level apartment without upstairs neighbors. There are two bedrooms and an additional workspace in the void. The top location in Amsterdam West and the very bright living room with high ceilings add to the appeal. The large 15 square meter terrace on the west side and the balcony overlooking the water are noteworthy outdoor spaces. An external storage cage in the basement provides additional convenience. The private parking space at the Buyskade is sold separately for 50,000 euros with a monthly VvE contribution of 23 euros. The ground rent is prepaid until 2048 and has been secured indefinitely under favorable terms. The active and professionally managed VvE costs 346 euros per month including the parking space contribution. Ownership transfer is negotiable and can be executed quickly.
Layout
The entrance on the first floor is reached via stairs or elevator, through the large 15 square meter terrace on the sunny west side. There is ample space here for a large dining table. Upon entering the living floor, the high ceiling immediately catches attention due to the void, which together with the large windows creates an impressive sense of space and light. The living room offers ample possibilities for a comfortable seating area and a generous dining area. The open kitchen is equipped with a 4-burner gas stove and sufficient counter space, a pleasant area for those who enjoy cooking and hosting guests. Furthermore, there is sufficient space for creating an additional seating area, play area, or workspace directly upon entry. At the rear, the balcony offers unobstructed views over the water where you can enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning sun in complete tranquility. The best of both worlds: morning sun by the water, afternoon sun on the terrace at the front.
On the second floor, the spacious master bedroom features a walk-in closet and space for the washing machine. The luxuriously finished bathroom with bathtub and walk-in rain shower was renovated in 2022. The void, added later, gives the property a playful character and offers space for a second bedroom and a bright, open workspace with views of the water. To increase the living area, enclosing the void is an option, of course with the necessary permits.
Finally, there is a convenient external storage cage in the basement.
