Key Features
Description
This apartment is situated on the third floor of a building located in the Indische Buurt neighborhood of Amsterdam-Oost. The property was originally constructed in 1906 and has since been renovated to provide modern living standards while maintaining its characteristic appeal. The apartment has a total living area of 35 square meters with an additional 1 square meter of outdoor space in the form of a French balcony. The internal volume of the property measures 133 cubic meters.
Upon entering the apartment through the central hallway of the building, residents are welcomed into a well-planned living space. The interior has been finished to a high standard with smoothly plastered walls and ceilings throughout, complemented by a laminate parquet floor that adds warmth and character to the rooms. The layout has been designed to maximize the sense of space within the available square footage.
The living area features large windows that allow abundant natural light to enter the apartment throughout the day. These windows face the green square below, providing an unobstructed view that brings a sense of tranquility to the interior. The open kitchen is integrated into the living space and comes equipped with essential appliances including a refrigerator, a combination oven, a dishwasher, and a cooktop. There is sufficient space in this area to accommodate both a comfortable seating arrangement and a dining table.
The French balcony is accessible through French doors and faces east, making it an ideal spot to enjoy morning sunlight. Residents can open the doors to let fresh air circulate through the apartment while taking in the view of the green square below. Although the balcony measures 1 square meter, it serves as a pleasant connection to the outdoors.
The bedroom is positioned to provide a private retreat within the apartment. The room is large enough to comfortably fit a double bed along with additional furniture as needed. The bathroom is compact yet efficiently arranged, featuring a shower cabin, a toilet, and a washbasin. Connections for a washing machine and dryer have been installed in the bathroom, adding practical convenience for daily living.
A storage cupboard housing the central heating system is located in the living room, providing additional space for household items. The property benefits from HR++ double glazing, which contributes to energy efficiency and helps maintain comfortable indoor temperatures. The central heating boiler was installed in 2008 and is described as reliable.
The apartment holds an energy label B, reflecting its insulation standards and energy performance. The building is equipped with a professional intercom system for secure visitor access.
The Indische Buurt is a well-established and popular neighborhood in Amsterdam-Oost. The apartment benefits from a quiet location overlooking a green square while being just steps away from the vibrant Javastraat. This combination of tranquility and urban convenience is a notable aspect of the location.
The immediate vicinity offers a wide range of amenities. For dining and socializing, several establishments are within walking distance, including Drovers Dog for brunch, Coffee Company for morning coffee, and Badhuis for evening drinks. Restaurant De Wilde Zwijnen provides dinner options, and Studio K cinema is approximately a five-minute walk away. Brouwerij t IJ, a well-known craft brewery, is also within easy walking distance.
For daily shopping needs, an Albert Heijn supermarket is located at the end of the street. The Dappermarkt, a colorful and diverse market, offers additional shopping opportunities. Specialty shops along Javastraat provide further options for groceries and other goods.
Outdoor recreation is readily available with Flevopark and Oosterpark both accessible for running, walking, or relaxation. These green spaces contribute to the quality of life in the neighborhood.
Public transportation connections are excellent. Muiderpoort Station is located very close to the property, providing train services to various parts of Amsterdam and beyond. Bus line 22 connects directly to Amsterdam Central Station, and multiple tram and bus stops are located around the corner. For those traveling by car, the Piet Hein Tunnel provides quick access to the A10 ring road.
Parking in the area is regulated, requiring paid parking or a parking permit. Residents should factor this into their transportation considerations.
The property is part of a homeowners association consisting of 8 renovated apartments. The VvE is described as active and professionally managed. A multi-year maintenance plan is in place, which demonstrates responsible long-term planning for the building. The monthly service costs amount to 154.45 euros and include building insurance, maintenance costs, and contributions to a reserve fund for major future maintenance. The VvE is properly registered with the Chamber of Commerce and holds annual general meetings.
A significant advantage of this property is its ground situation. The apartment is located on freehold land, meaning there is no leasehold to consider. This eliminates ongoing leasehold payments and provides full ownership of both the property and the land beneath it.
The asking price for this apartment is 350,000 euros, which is payable on a cost buyer basis, meaning the buyer is responsible for transfer taxes and notary fees in addition to the purchase price. The price per square meter equates to approximately 10,000 euros.
The property is available for viewing and is currently listed as available for purchase. The delivery terms are described as negotiable, allowing flexibility in the transfer date.
This apartment represents an opportunity to acquire a modernized home in a sought-after location within Amsterdam. The combination of the freehold ground situation, the active and well-managed VvE, the recent renovations, and the desirable location in the Indische Buurt contribute to the overall appeal of this property for potential buyers seeking a compact yet well-appointed home in Amsterdam-Oost.
