Renovated Apartment with Balcony in Amsterdam-West
Key Features
Upsides
- The apartment is located on freehold land (volle eigendom), eliminating ground lease costs and providing long-term financial certainty.
- Energy label A combined with a heat pump system for both heating and cooling ensures low energy costs and comfortable indoor temperatures year-round.
- The recent renovation included high-quality finishes such as an oak parquet floor, a modern open kitchen with premium Bosch and Bora appliances, and a fully updated bathroom with underfloor heating.
- The location in De Baarsjes offers excellent amenities within walking distance, including the Foodhallen, various parks (Rembrandtpark, Erasmuspark, Vondelpark), and good public transport connections to the city center.
- The VvE contribution is very low at 32.40 euros per month, and the association is professionally managed with a maintenance plan and reserve fund in place.
Downsides
- At 44 square meters, the apartment is relatively small, which may feel limiting for couples or those needing additional space for a home office or storage.
- The price per square meter of 10,795 euros is high, even for Amsterdam standards, reflecting the premium paid for the renovated condition and desirable location.
- The apartment is located on the fourth floor without an elevator, which could be inconvenient for moving furniture, carrying groceries, or for those with mobility limitations.
- Parking in the area requires a paid permit, adding to ongoing living costs and potentially making it difficult to secure a parking spot near the property.
- The listing mentions a renovation date of 2026, which appears to be an error and raises questions about the accuracy of other information in the listing.
Description
This apartment is situated on the Filips van Almondestraat in the popular neighborhood of De Baarsjes in Amsterdam-West. The property has a living area of approximately 44 square meters measured according to the NEN2580 standard and includes a balcony of 2 square meters at the front of the building. The apartment is located on the fourth floor and is accessible via a well-maintained and notably wide communal staircase.
The living room is characterized by an abundance of natural light. At the front, the room features French doors that open onto the balcony, creating a pleasant connection between indoor and outdoor living. The balcony faces the street side and offers a pleasant spot to sit outside. The entire apartment is finished with an attractive oak parquet floor that gives the space a warm and cohesive appearance.
The open kitchen is integrated into the living area and is equipped with high-quality built-in appliances. The kitchen includes a Bora induction cooktop, a dishwasher, a combi-oven, a refrigerator-freezer combination, all from Bosch, and a Quooker instant boiling water tap. This setup provides a modern and functional cooking environment suitable for daily use as well as more elaborate meal preparation.
From the living room, a hallway provides access to the other areas of the apartment. The bedroom is well-proportioned and offers sufficient space for a double bed and additional furniture. The bathroom is accessible from the same hallway and features a walk-in rain shower, a double vanity with a cabinet, and a connection for a washing machine. The bathroom floor is equipped with underfloor heating for added comfort. A separate toilet is also accessible from the hallway, which is a practical layout feature.
A notable aspect of this apartment is the climate control system. The property is heated and cooled by means of an air-source heat pump, which also functions as air conditioning in both the living room and the bedroom. This system contributes to the energy efficiency of the home and provides comfortable temperatures throughout the year. Hot water is provided by an electric boiler.
The apartment has energy label A, which indicates a high level of energy efficiency. This is achieved through a combination of features including roof insulation, wall insulation, floor insulation, and HR++ double glazing. The mechanical ventilation system ensures good air quality throughout the apartment.
The property is situated on freehold land, meaning there is no ground lease (erfpacht) to consider. This is an important financial consideration as it eliminates future ground lease costs and uncertainties. The building dates from 1914 and has a flat roof with bituminous roofing. Despite its age, the apartment has been completely renovated recently, bringing it up to modern standards.
The homeowners association (Vereniging van Eigenaren) is professionally managed by NXT Beheer and has a maintenance plan in place. The monthly VvE contribution is 32.40 euros, which is relatively low. The VvE is registered with the Chamber of Commerce, holds annual meetings, has a reserve fund, and has building insurance in place.
The location in De Baarsjes is characterized by a mix of tranquility and urban vitality. The neighborhood has developed into a desirable and dynamic area in Amsterdam-West. Within walking distance, residents have access to a variety of amenities including supermarkets, specialty shops, traditional brown cafes, and trendy coffee bars and restaurants. The popular Foodhallen, a food market with various culinary offerings, are located nearby.
For recreation and relaxation in green surroundings, there are several parks within easy reach. The Rembrandtpark is located to the west, the Erasmuspark to the north, and the Vondelpark to the south. These parks offer opportunities for walking, cycling, sports, and other outdoor activities.
The accessibility of the location is excellent. By car, the A10 ring road can be reached quickly. Public transport connections are also convenient, with bus and tram stops located on the Admiraal de Ruijterweg and the Postjesweg. For cyclists, routes via the Admiraal de Ruijterweg and De Clercqstraat or via the Postjesweg and Kinkerstraat provide direct access to the Jordaan district and the city center.
Parking in the area is regulated through a paid parking system requiring a permit. The building is located on a quiet road in a residential area, which contributes to a pleasant living environment despite the proximity to urban amenities.
The total volume of the apartment is 155 cubic meters. The property is classified as an existing apartment in an existing building. The cadastral designation is SLOTEN C 11490 with full ownership status. The asking price is 475,000 euros, which translates to approximately 10,795 euros per square meter. The property is currently available and the transfer date can be negotiated, with the possibility of a quick delivery.
