Bright Corner Apartment with Sarphatipark Views in De Pijp
Key Features
Description
This recently renovated corner apartment is situated on Eerste Van der Helststraat in the Sarphatiparkbuurt area of Amsterdam. The property offers approximately 82 square meters of living space and is located on the second floor of a building that was originally constructed in 1885. The apartment has been part of a recent property division completed in 2025, meaning it is now a separate unit with its own ownership structure within the building.
The apartment holds an energy label A rating, which indicates a high level of energy efficiency. This has been achieved through double glazing and wall insulation. Heating and hot water are provided by a gas-fired combi boiler that is owned by the current owner. The property also features mechanical and natural ventilation systems.
Access to the apartment is via a shared staircase that has been kept in good condition. Upon entering, a central hallway provides access to all rooms in the residence. The living kitchen is positioned at the corner of the building and benefits from large windows that offer views over Sarphatipark. This room receives natural light throughout the day due to its corner positioning and the open views across the park. The kitchen has been installed recently as part of the renovation works.
The interior features herringbone flooring throughout the entire apartment, creating a consistent and warm appearance across all spaces. The ceiling height is described as high, which is characteristic of buildings from this period in Amsterdam.
According to the property features, the apartment contains five rooms in total, with four of these being bedrooms. The Dutch description mentions three spacious bedrooms, while the English text adds that there is a smaller fourth room suitable for use as a study or nursery. This configuration provides flexibility for various household compositions, whether for families with children, couples working from home, or those requiring guest accommodation.
The bathroom has been finished in a modern style and includes a walk-in shower, a vanity unit with mirror cabinet, a floating toilet, and a towel radiator. The bathroom appears to be fully tiled and completed to contemporary standards.
A French balcony is present, though the listing does not provide specific dimensions for this outdoor space. The balcony contributes to the connection between the interior and the park views outside.
One significant aspect of this property is that it sits on freehold land. In Amsterdam, many properties are subject to ground lease (erfpacht), which involves ongoing payments to the municipality. The fact that this apartment is on freehold land means there are no such periodic charges, which can represent a considerable financial advantage over time.
The building has been assigned a foundation code II. Foundation issues are a known concern for many older buildings in Amsterdam due to the soil conditions and the age of the structures. Code II indicates that the foundation condition has been assessed and documented. The listing notes that relevant documents are available through the Move.nl platform for interested parties to review.
The property division (splitsing) was realized in 2025, and the Homeowners Association (VvE) is currently being established. As the division works have already been completed, the expected service costs are anticipated to be relatively low. An update to the long-term maintenance plan (MJOP) has been scheduled for December 2025. The listing confirms that building insurance (opstalverzekering) is in place.
Several maintenance works have been carried out as part of the property division process. These include roof maintenance, interior and exterior painting, and brick pointing and facade work. Having these tasks completed before the division means new owners will not face immediate large expenses for these building components.
The location in De Pijp is one of the most sought-after residential areas in Amsterdam. The apartment is positioned directly adjacent to Sarphatipark, providing immediate access to green space for walking, relaxation, or outdoor activities. The surrounding neighborhood offers a variety of cafes, restaurants, and shops within walking distance. The Albert Cuyp Market, one of Amsterdam's most famous street markets, is nearby, as are the Ferdinand Bolstraat and Van Woustraat shopping streets.
Public transportation connections are excellent. De Pijp metro station, serving the North/South line, is within a few minutes walking distance and provides direct connections to Amsterdam Zuid station and Amsterdam Central Station. Additional tram and bus lines serve the area. For those traveling by car, the A10 ring road is easily accessible.
Cycling is a primary mode of transport in Amsterdam, and from this location, the historic city center can be reached within minutes by bicycle.
Parking is available on the public road in front of the building under a paid parking system. Residents can apply for a parking permit through the municipality, with specific information available on the City of Amsterdam website.
The asking price is 795,000 euros, which translates to approximately 9,695 euros per square meter. This price is offered under costs buyer terms (kosten koper), meaning the buyer is responsible for additional costs such as transfer tax and notary fees on top of the purchase price.
The listing includes standard contractual clauses. A non-occupation clause (niet-bewoningsclausule) applies, which typically prevents the buyer from moving in before the official transfer date. An age clause (ouderdomsclausule) is also included, which is standard for older properties and relates to the fact that the building dates from 1885, meaning certain construction standards and materials reflect that era.
The property has been measured according to the NEN 2580 standard, which provides a standardized method for determining usable floor area. As with any measurement, there may be minor variations due to interpretation or measurement limitations.
Viewings can be requested through the listing platform, with the agent offering immediate response and flexible scheduling options.
