Description
This charming family home is situated on Graaf Willemlaan in the sought after Randwijck West district of Amstelveen. The property offers approximately 102 square metres of living space and is located on freehold land, which means there is no ground lease to worry about. The residence presents an excellent opportunity for buyers who are looking for a home with potential to modernise and extend according to their own preferences and requirements.
The ground floor layout begins with a front garden that leads to the main entrance of the property. Upon entering, you are welcomed into a practical hall that provides access to several essential areas. The meter cupboard is conveniently located here, along with a separate toilet room. A useful under stairs cupboard offers additional storage space for everyday items. The staircase in the hall leads up to the first floor of the home.
From the entrance hall, you step into the bright through living room that benefits from large windows on both the front and rear of the property. This arrangement creates a pleasant flow of natural light throughout the day and provides attractive views of both the front and back gardens. The living space feels open and connected, making it an ideal area for relaxation and family life.
At the rear of the ground floor, you will find the open plan kitchen which is equipped with various built in appliances. This practical layout allows for easy interaction between cooking and living areas. The kitchen provides direct access to the sunny back garden, making it convenient for outdoor dining or simply enjoying fresh air during meal preparation.
The back garden measures 66 square metres with dimensions of approximately 11.24 metres in depth and 5.88 metres in width. The garden faces north and is accessible via a back entrance path. Within the garden, there is a freestanding brick storage shed that offers secure space for garden tools, bicycles, and other outdoor equipment. The back entrance adds convenience for accessing the property without going through the front door.
The first floor of the property contains four well proportioned bedrooms. This configuration is particularly appealing for families with children or those who require additional rooms for a home office or guest accommodation. The bedrooms are described as generously sized, providing flexibility in how each space can be utilised.
The bathroom on this floor is fitted with a bathtub, a washbasin, and a toilet. While the bathroom is functional, it may benefit from updating as part of a broader modernisation project. Having a separate toilet on the ground floor adds convenience for daily living, especially when the upstairs bathroom is occupied.
The property was constructed during the period between 1945 and 1959, which places it in the post war building era typical of many homes in this area of Amstelveen. The roof is a flat design covered with bituminous roofing material. The total volume of the property is 341 cubic metres, and the external storage space measures 8 square metres.
In terms of energy efficiency, the property has been awarded an energy label C. The windows feature double glazing, which provides reasonable insulation. Heating and hot water are supplied by a gas fired combination boiler that is owned by the current proprietor, meaning there are no ongoing rental costs for this essential equipment.
Randwijck is widely recognised as a peaceful and green residential area that appeals to a broad range of residents. The neighbourhood offers an excellent balance between tranquillity and convenience. For daily shopping needs, residents can visit the nearby Amsterdamseweg, Buitenveldertselaan, and Rembrandtweg, all of which offer a variety of shops and services.
The bustling Stadshart of Amstelveen is located just a short distance away. This vibrant centre provides an extensive selection of shops, restaurants and cafes, a weekly market, a library, a cinema, a theatre, and the renowned Cobra Museum. This cultural and commercial hub ensures that residents have access to a wide range of amenities without needing to travel far.
Families with children are particularly well served in this area. Numerous primary schools and childcare facilities are located in the immediate vicinity. Additionally, international schools are available nearby, making this location attractive to expatriate families as well. The presence of the Vrije Universiteit adds to the educational character of the broader area.
The location offers exceptional connectivity to major employment centres. The Zuidas business district and the centre of Amsterdam are both easily accessible within a short travel time. Schiphol Airport is also conveniently reachable, which is beneficial for those who travel frequently for business or leisure.
Road connections are excellent thanks to the proximity of the A9 motorway and the A10 ring road around Amsterdam. Public transport options are also plentiful, with various bus and tram services operating in the area, providing reliable alternatives to car travel.
Parking at the property is available through public parking spaces in the surrounding area. There is no dedicated private parking or garage included with the property.
The asking price for this property is 875,000 euros, which is calculated at approximately 8,578 euros per square metre of living space. The delivery date can be arranged by mutual agreement, with the possibility of a relatively quick transfer if desired.
This property represents an opportunity to acquire a home in one of Amstelveen most desirable locations. The four bedroom configuration, combined with the potential for modernisation and extension, makes it particularly suitable for buyers who wish to create a personalised living space in an established and well connected neighbourhood. The freehold status adds long term value, while the proximity to Amsterdam, the Zuidas, and Schiphol ensures ongoing appeal for future buyers should you decide to sell at a later date.
