Luxurious Apartment with Sunny Rooftop Terrace in Houthaven
Key Features
Description
Located on the Haparandaweg in the sought after Houthaven West district of Amsterdam, this four room apartment offers a contemporary living experience on the first floor, easily accessible by lift. The property was built in 2015 and features a modern finish throughout, making it ready for immediate occupancy.
The living area forms the central heart of the apartment, designed with an emphasis on light and space. Full width concertina windows create a seamless transition between the interior and the exterior, allowing residents to fully open up the living room to the outdoors during warmer months. This design element effectively merges the indoor living space with the adjacent rooftop terrace.
The open plan kitchen is well equipped with modern appliances including a Quooker boiling water tap, dishwasher, built in refrigerator and freezer combination, and an induction cooktop. The kitchen integrates naturally with the living area, creating a cohesive space for daily living and entertaining.
A modern steel door separates the living area from the sleeping quarters, where three well proportioned bedrooms are situated. Each bedroom features sliding doors that provide access to a west facing balcony at the front of the property. This orientation allows residents to enjoy the evening sun from the private balcony space.
The bathroom is spacious and contemporary, fitted with a bathtub, walk in shower, and a vanity unit. A separate toilet room with a small sink is also available. Throughout the apartment, a light oak herringbone floor has been installed, contributing to the modern and clean aesthetic.
A notable feature of this apartment is the substantial rooftop terrace measuring 51 square meters, located at the rear and oriented to the southeast. This outdoor space receives ample sunlight throughout the day and provides a generous area for outdoor dining, relaxation, or gardening. The terrace dimensions are 6.73 meters in depth and 7.64 meters in width.
Practical storage has been well considered in the layout. A custom built cabinet in the hallway houses the washing machine and dryer, keeping these appliances out of sight while maintaining easy access. Additionally, residents have access to an external storage unit of 18 square meters, suitable for storing bicycles or seasonal items.
The apartment benefits from underfloor heating throughout, which also functions as floor cooling during the warmer summer months. This system, combined with the A+ energy rating, ensures a comfortable indoor climate year round while keeping energy costs relatively low. The property features comprehensive insulation including roof insulation, double glazing, wall insulation, and floor insulation. Heating and hot water are provided through the city heating system (stadsverwarming), and a heat recovery system is installed.
Included with the apartment is a private parking space in the underground garage, equipped with a connection for an electric vehicle charging point. The building also features a communal fitness room available to residents, adding to the convenience of the location.
The Houthaven neighborhood is one of Amsterdam's most dynamic and desirable residential areas. Developed as a climate neutral district, it is surrounded by water and distinguished by its notable architecture. Within walking distance, residents can find popular establishments such as Vessel and Bar Hout, as well as various schools and sports facilities.
The location offers excellent connectivity. By bicycle, the Dam square and Amsterdam Central Station can be reached in approximately ten minutes. For car travel, the S101 road provides quick access to the A10 ring road.
The property is part of a well organized homeowners association (VvE) that is professionally managed by Munnik VvE Beheer. The association holds annual meetings, maintains a reserve fund, has a maintenance plan (MJOP) in place, and has building insurance. Monthly service costs amount to 329 euros, which includes the parking space.
The property is held on municipal ground lease (erfpacht). The current annual ground lease payment is 2,778.79 euros for both the apartment and parking space, with the current period running until December 15, 2063. The listing notes that residents have the option to fix the canon in advance to avoid potential higher payments in the future. The cadastral details show two separate ground lease components: 2,536.81 euros annually for the main property and 241.97 euros annually for the parking space, both with buyout options available.
With a living area of 102 square meters and 56 square meters of attached outdoor space, this apartment represents a well proportioned home in a modern Amsterdam neighborhood. The combination of three bedrooms, a large rooftop terrace, private parking, and contemporary finishes makes this property suitable for various lifestyles, whether for a family, professionals working from home, or those seeking a spacious urban residence.
