Spacious 5-Room Apartment with Two Balconies and Green Views in Groenhoven
Key Features
Description
This bright and well laid out five room apartment is located on the sixth floor of tower 4 within the Groenhoven residential complex. The property offers approximately 108 square meters of living space and features free views from two balconons facing the well maintained and green Professor Joop van Stigtpark. The apartment includes a spacious living room, an open kitchen, four generously sized bedrooms, and two bathrooms, making it suitable for families or those who require extra space for a home office.
The location of this property is highly central while still being situated in a quiet and green residential environment. The apartment is positioned next to De Bijlmerweide and the Diemerbos, providing residents with immediate access to nature and recreational areas. The Gaasperpark and Nelson Mandelapark are also just around the corner. For those who travel by car, the A10 ring road can be reached within five minutes, and various other major roads such as the A9, A1, and A2 are easily accessible. Public transportation is conveniently located right at the doorstep, with the Ganzenhoef metro station situated approximately 300 meters from the property. All conceivable shops for daily groceries are within walking distance along the Bijlmerdreef.
The Arena area, which includes the Johan Cruijff ArenA, Ziggo Dome, Pathé ArenA, and AFAS Live, is within cycling distance. Station Bijlmer ArenA provides direct connections, taking you to Amsterdam Centraal in approximately 17 minutes and to Utrecht Centraal in about 20 minutes. This excellent connectivity makes the property an attractive option for commuters working in different parts of the Randstad region.
The building layout of Groenhoven features a shared covered gallery, known locally as drooglopers, which provides access from the parking garage to the entrance of tower 4. From there, residents can take either the lift or stairs to the sixth floor, where a central hallway serves six apartments. Upon entering the property, you are welcomed by a hall that houses the meter cupboard and provides access to the first bathroom, which is equipped with a shower, washbasin, and a connection for a washing machine.
From the entrance hall, you proceed to the spacious living room with its open kitchen design. The living room features a sliding door that opens to a point shaped balcony facing the northeast. This outdoor space allows for morning sun and offers a pleasant view of the surroundings. The open kitchen layout creates a seamless connection between cooking and living areas, making it ideal for entertaining or family life.
From the living room, there is access to two separate hallways, each leading to two well proportioned bedrooms. This layout provides privacy and separation between the sleeping areas. The four bedrooms are all of a good size, offering flexibility in how they can be used, whether as bedrooms, study rooms, or guest rooms.
Opposite the kitchen, a second hallway provides access to a larger bathroom that features a bathtub and a washbasin. Adjacent to this bathroom is a separate toilet, adding convenience for the household. Two of the bedrooms have sliding doors that provide access to the second balcony, which faces the southeast. This southeast facing balcony benefits from afternoon and evening sun, making it an enjoyable outdoor space during warmer months.
On the ground floor, residents have the use of an individual storage unit, which is valuable for storing bicycles, seasonal items, or other belongings that do not need to be kept in the apartment itself.
The Owners Association has made an important decision in 2025 regarding the sustainability and quality improvement of the entire complex. The planned measures include replacing all window frames with HR+++ glass, improving insulation throughout the building, replacing the heating installation and connecting to the city heating network, and renewing pipes and radiators. The VvE has taken out a sustainability loan to finance these improvements, which has resulted in an increase in the service costs by approximately 120 euros per month. However, this investment will lead to lower advance heating costs in the future. Additionally, the interest on this loan is tax deductible, which provides some financial relief for the owners. More detailed information about these sustainability measures can be obtained through the real estate agent.
The property is a practical and well finished five room apartment with balconons and a storage unit, located on the sixth floor of tower 4 in the Groenhoven complex. The living area measures 108 square meters, and a measurement report is available to confirm this. The property is held on perpetual ground lease from the Municipality of Amsterdam, with the annual ground lease canon for 2026 set at 145.28 euros, subject to an annual inflation correction.
The Groenhoven complex has recently been designated as a municipal monument, which speaks to its architectural and historical value within the city. The Owners Association is large scale and active, professionally managed by Rappange VvE Beheer. A VvE checklist confirms that the association is registered with the Chamber of Commerce, holds annual meetings, collects periodic contributions, maintains a reserve fund, has a maintenance plan in place, and has building insurance.
The monthly service costs amount to 519.59 euros, excluding the advance heating costs of 261 euros per month. Residents can apply for a parking permit, with the first permit costing 40.02 euros per six months and having no waiting period. A second parking permit is available at 100.06 euros per six months.
The apartment was built in 1975 and features a flat roof. It has an energy label D, with double glazing and wall insulation. The heating is provided through block heating, and hot water comes from a central facility. Natural ventilation is present, along with sliding doors and a TV cable connection.
The cadastral designation is WEESPERKARSPEL L 187. The property is subject to a general age clause, asbestos clause, and a non owner occupied clause. The sale and delivery are subject to the permission of the canton judge. The delivery date can be agreed upon with the seller.
