Charming 2-room apartment on freehold land in Amsterdam Linnaeusparkbuurt

This charming apartment is situated at Hogeweg 5-2 in the Linnaeusparkbuurt in Amsterdam. It is a two-room apartment located on the second floor of a building that was originally constructed in 1900. The property has a living area of 67 square meters and is situated on freehold land, which means there is no ground lease. The apartment is fully furnished and comes with energy label C. The layout of the home is accessible via a communal staircase that leads to the entrance on the second floor. The hallway includes a wardrobe for storage. The living room is designed in an en-suite style and is particularly stylish, featuring original details such as ornamental ceilings and a large working fireplace. These historical elements combine beautifully with the modern wooden floors that have double insulation and underfloor heating. The room features French doors that open to a balcony. The large windows and the ceiling height of three meters ensure a wonderful spatial and light feeling in the apartment.

The en-suite room can also function as a second bedroom and provides access to a spacious balcony located at the quiet rear of the building. This balcony enjoys the evening sun and offers a free view because there are restrictions on the height of buildings at the rear. The main bedroom is situated at the front of the house and features a pull-out bed. The kitchen is equipped with ceiling-high cabinets and a six-burner gas stove. The modern bathroom includes a walk-in shower, toilet, and sink. The apartment has two balconies in total.

The property is located in the popular Linnaeuspark neighborhood, which is considered the most desirable part of the old Watergraafsmeer district. Residents live here amidst wide green avenues and beautiful architecture from the early twentieth century. Within a few minutes walking distance, you can find the shops on the Linnaeusstraat, the Oostpoort shopping center, and the scenic Park Frankendael. The neighborhood has a charming village character with a wide range of specialty shops, cozy coffee spots, excellent restaurants, and ample facilities for play, education, and sports. The square at Café 1900, with its fountain, benches, and chestnut trees, is a popular meeting place for local residents.

In terms of sustainability, the home is ready for the future as it is located in a district where work is underway on the Watergraafsmeer district heating network. This is a sustainable and local heating network initiated by residents themselves. The heat is sourced from a data center in the Science Park, which makes natural gas unnecessary. Connecting to the network is easy, and it is expected that the first homes can utilize this district heating starting in 2028, offering a future-proof choice with stable and lower energy costs. The current heating is provided by a gas-fired combi boiler from 2022. The property also benefits from double glazing, new window frames, and floor insulation.

The accessibility of the location is excellent. Via the S113, you can reach the A10 ring road within ten minutes. Tram line 19 is located just around the corner, and both Amstel Station and Muiderpoort Station are within easy reach. The property is managed by a small-scale and active Homeowners Association that has a long-term maintenance plan. The monthly service costs are 75 euros. There is a non-self-occupancy clause in the purchase agreement because the property is a former rental home. Delivery of the property is in consultation and can be arranged quickly.
