Renovated Studio Apartment in Amsterdam's Haarlemmerbuurt

This studio apartment is located at Haarlemmerstraat 125F in Amsterdam, situated in the vibrant Haarlemmerbuurt-Oost neighbourhood. The property has a living area of approximately 27 square meters, measured in accordance with the NEN-2580 measurement standard. The building dates back to 1822 and holds the status of a national monument (Rijksmonument), which means it is part of a protected cityscape. Despite its historical origins, the studio has been completely renovated as part of the Blikvanger Project, resulting in a modern and functional living space that meets contemporary standards.

The interior layout is efficiently designed to maximize the available space. Upon entering the apartment, you step directly into the main living area. The open floor plan creates a spacious feeling within the compact dimensions. The rear of the property features wide windows that allow plenty of natural light to enter the space, contributing to a pleasant living atmosphere. The living room and sleeping area are combined in one open space, with sufficient room to create both a comfortable seating area and a separate sleeping section. The slightly deeper layout of the room offers good possibilities to logically separate these functions from each other.

The open kitchen is positioned along the wall and forms a practical unit with the living area. The kitchen is equipped with high-quality built-in appliances, including a composite worktop, a Siemens combi-microwave and dishwasher, a Bora Pure induction hob with integrated extraction, and a Quooker instant boiling water tap. There is ample work and storage space available. Additionally, a Whirlpool washer-dryer combination has been built into the apartment, adding to the convenience of daily living.

The bathroom is accessible from the living area and has been practically laid out. It is fitted with Hotbath sanitary ware, including a shower, toilet, and washbasin. The bathroom also features electric underfloor heating with its own thermostat, which provides additional comfort. The main living area has water-based underfloor heating as the primary heating system, complemented by a sustainable and maintenance-friendly collective heating provision.

The apartment features an oak parquet floor throughout, which adds warmth and character to the space. The walls and roof have been fitted with insulated cavity walls and insulation, contributing to the excellent energy rating. The property has received an Energy Label A, which is remarkable for a building from 1822. This high energy efficiency is achieved through the comprehensive insulation measures that have been implemented during the renovation.

One particularly important aspect of this property is that it is located on freehold land (eigen grond), which means there is no ground lease (erfpacht) to pay. This is a significant financial advantage in Amsterdam, where many properties are subject to ground lease. The absence of erfpacht provides certainty about future costs and can positively influence the property value.

The apartment is part of a professionally managed Owners Association (VvE), administered by ROCO Real Estate. The monthly service costs amount to 86.73 euros, though the characteristics section lists the VvE contribution as 77.10 euros per month. The VvE is properly registered with the Chamber of Commerce (KvK), holds annual meetings, has a reserve fund in place, and maintains building insurance. However, there is no maintenance plan currently in place.

The Haarlemmerstraat is one of the most enjoyable and lively streets in Amsterdam, located on the edge of the historic city centre. This street offers a varied selection of boutiques, specialty shops, cafes, and restaurants, making it a popular place to live. Within walking distance, you will find the canals, the Jordaan district, and the Haarlemmerdijk, where you can also visit various shops and catering establishments. For relaxation, the Westerpark is located a short distance away, a popular spot for walking, sports, or visiting one of the cultural hotspots.

The accessibility of the property is excellent. Central Station is just a few minutes by bike or on foot, giving you quick access to train, tram, metro, and bus connections. Various tram and bus lines are also present in the immediate vicinity. By car, the A10 ring road and other arterial roads are easily accessible, allowing you to easily drive in and out of the city. For parking, the property is located in an area with paid parking and parking permit systems.

The property is being transferred through a project notary, specifically Hemwood notaries. The delivery date is by mutual agreement. The asking price is 325,000 euros, which translates to approximately 12,037 euros per square meter. This price is based on the current market conditions for compact apartments in central Amsterdam locations.

It should be noted that the property is located on a busy road in the city centre, which means residents should expect a certain level of ambient noise from the street activity. The building has a gabled roof covered with tiles, which is typical for the historic architecture in this part of Amsterdam. The apartment is situated on the first floor of the building.

The property features mechanical ventilation, a TV cable connection, and solar panels as part of the building's facilities. The heating system consists of block heating and a central heating boiler, with an HR107 boiler from 2025 that is owned by the property. Hot water is provided by an electric boiler.

This studio apartment represents an opportunity to live in a prime central Amsterdam location, in a completely renovated space that combines historical character with modern comfort. The Energy Label A rating, the freehold land, and the quality of the finishes and appliances make this a well-appointed compact home suitable for a single person or couple looking for a convenient urban lifestyle.
