Key Features
Description
We are pleased to offer this charming and bright 3-room apartment located in the beloved Indische Buurt neighborhood in Amsterdam Oost. The apartment is situated on the fourth floor of a well-maintained complex with elevator access, offering two bedrooms and a sunny south-facing balcony.
The building was constructed in 1999 and features professional VvE (homeowners association) management. The monthly service costs amount to 206.82 euros, which covers maintenance of the communal areas, elevator, and reserve fund contributions. Residents can also enjoy access to a beautiful shared inner garden with terrace and playground area, providing a pleasant green space right within the complex.
Upon entering the apartment, you arrive in a spacious hallway that provides access to all rooms of the residence. The living room features two large windows that ensure abundant natural light throughout the day. The open corner kitchen is equipped with various built-in appliances including a refrigerator-freezer combination, oven, induction cooktop, and dishwasher. The numerous kitchen cabinets provide ample storage space for all your kitchen equipment.
Both bedrooms are generously sized and comfortably accommodate a double bed. The bedroom at the rear of the apartment provides access to the spacious south-facing balcony with views overlooking the communal inner garden. The bathroom contains a bathtub with shower and a sink. Additionally, the apartment includes a separate laundry room and a separate toilet.
The apartment spans 81.30 square meters of living space according to NEN-2580 measurement standards.

Regarding the leasehold (erfpacht) arrangement, the current period has been bought off until March 31, 2047. In 2023, the seller has secured perpetual leasehold terms starting from April 1, 2047, with an annual amount of 569.27 euros plus yearly indexation. This represents a favorable arrangement as the leasehold has been locked in for perpetuity.

At the same time, you are within walking distance of the lively Javastraat, offering a diverse selection of supermarkets, restaurants, and cozy cafes. Here you live in tranquility while the dynamism of the city remains always within reach.
Accessibility is excellent. Muiderpoort station is just a nine-minute walk away, and by car you can reach the Ring A10 within a few minutes. Furthermore, there is ample parking available directly in front of the door, with paid parking and parking permits applicable in the area.
The energy label A indicates that the apartment is fully insulated and equipped with a gas-fired central heating boiler (owned, not rented) that also provides warm water. This results in favorable energy costs for the resident.
The apartment is offered at an asking price of 595,000 euros costs excluding (k.k.), which corresponds to approximately 7,346 euros per square meter. Transfer is in consultation with the current owner. This property presents an excellent opportunity for those seeking a comfortable and well-located apartment in the vibrant Amsterdam Oost district.
