Fully Renovated Duplex Apartment with Spacious Rooftop Terrace in Amsterdam-West
Key Features
Upsides
- The property is situated on freehold land, eliminating the ongoing costs and uncertainties associated with leasehold (erfpacht) that affect many Amsterdam properties.
- The apartment has been fully renovated with high-quality finishes including an oak herringbone floor, Piet Boon taps, custom walnut bathroom furniture, underfloor heating, and double glazing throughout, making it immediately move-in ready.
- The 32 square meter rooftop terrace is a rare find in Amsterdam, equipped with water, gas, and electricity connections, and positioned to receive sunlight throughout the entire day.
- Having two full bathrooms is unusual for a two-bedroom apartment of this size, adding significant convenience and value, especially with the master suite concept on the top floor.
- The De Baarsjes location offers excellent amenities within walking distance, including De Hallen, Rembrandtpark, Erasmuspark, and numerous popular cafes and restaurants, combined with strong public transport connections to the city centre.
Downsides
- The apartment is located on the third and fourth floors without an elevator, requiring residents to climb multiple flights of stairs to reach the property, which may be challenging for some buyers or when moving furniture.
- The energy label is rated C, indicating moderate energy efficiency, which may result in higher energy costs compared to more recently renovated or newly built properties with better insulation standards.
- Parking in the area requires a permit and is paid parking, adding an ongoing cost and potential inconvenience for car owners.
- At 9,239 euros per square meter, the price point is relatively high for the De Baarsjes area, particularly given that the 92 square meter living area must accommodate two bedrooms and all living spaces.
- The private entrance is on the second floor rather than the actual apartment level, meaning residents must climb additional stairs just to reach their own front door before ascending to the living quarters.
Description
This fully renovated duplex upper-floor apartment is situated on the third and fourth floors of a characteristic building designed in the Berlage architectural style. Located on the Jan Evertsenstraat in the popular De Baarsjes neighborhood of Amsterdam-West, the property offers a living area of approximately 92 square meters and is built on freehold land, meaning there is no leasehold to worry about.
The building dates back to 1925 and has been completely renovated to modern standards while preserving its original character. The apartment is accessed via a communal entrance on the ground floor, leading to a private entrance on the second floor where there is space for a wardrobe and storage. From this level, an internal staircase leads up to the main living areas.
The third floor serves as the primary living level of the home. At the front of this floor, there is a bright living room that overlooks the Jan Evertsenstraat, offering a lively street view and benefiting from good natural light throughout the day. The rear of this floor houses a spacious dining area connected to a modern open-plan kitchen. The kitchen has been designed with a cooking island and is equipped with Siemens built-in appliances, including a combi oven, dishwasher, refrigerator, freezer, and a cooktop with integrated extraction system. A Quooker instant boiling water tap has also been installed for added convenience.
From the dining area, French doors open onto a northwest-facing balcony where residents can enjoy afternoon and evening sun. This floor also contains a separate toilet room and a second bedroom that has its own adjoining bathroom, which is fitted with a shower and washbasin.
An internal staircase connects the third floor to the fourth and top floor of the apartment. This upper level has been designed with sound reduction measures in mind and functions as a comfortable master suite. The bedroom on this floor offers a peaceful atmosphere and has direct access to the main bathroom. This bathroom is finished to a high standard and includes a bathtub, a walk-in shower with views towards the rooftop terrace, a double vanity unit, a separate toilet, and connections for both a washing machine and dryer.
One of the most notable features of this property is the generous rooftop terrace measuring approximately 32 square meters. The terrace is positioned to receive sunlight throughout the entire day. It has been equipped with water, gas, and electricity connections, making it suitable for creating an outdoor kitchen or setting up a comfortable outdoor living space. The terrace measures 5.44 meters in depth and 5.81 meters in width, providing ample room for outdoor furniture and entertaining.
The renovation of the apartment included comprehensive upgrades to both the structure and finishes. Floor insulation has been installed along with underfloor heating throughout the property. Double glazing has been fitted to all windows, and the walls have been finished with smooth plasterwork. An oak herringbone floor runs continuously through the entire apartment, creating a cohesive and elegant appearance. The bathrooms feature luxury details including Piet Boon taps and custom-made vanity units crafted from solid oiled walnut wood.
The property includes mechanical and natural ventilation systems, and TV cable connections are available. The total volume of the apartment is 327 cubic meters, and it contains five rooms in total, comprising the two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and the main living area.
Heating and hot water are provided by a Nefit gas-fired combi boiler that was installed in 2022 and is owned by the property. The energy label for the apartment is currently rated as C. The roof is a flat roof covered with bituminous roofing material.
The De Baarsjes neighborhood is known for its lively atmosphere and diverse range of amenities. The Jan Evertsenstraat itself offers numerous shops, specialty stores, and restaurants. Several supermarkets and delicatessens are located in the immediate vicinity. The property is situated diagonally opposite bakery Fort 9 and is within walking distance of popular establishments such as Bar Frits, Café Zurich, White Label Coffee, Bar Tack, De Huiskamer van Rembrandt, and Bar Baarsch.
For cultural and leisure activities, De Hallen is nearby, offering food halls, a cinema, and various cultural events. Green spaces are also easily accessible, with both Rembrandtpark and Erasmuspark located in the surrounding area, providing opportunities for outdoor recreation and relaxation.
Public transportation connections are excellent, with multiple tram lines providing quick access to Amsterdam city centre. For those traveling by car, the A10 ring road can be reached within a few minutes. Parking in the area is regulated and requires a permit, with both paid and public parking options available.
The homeowners association is described as healthy and active, with regular annual meetings and a reserve fund in place. A maintenance plan has been established, and the building has building insurance. The monthly service charges amount to 310 euros. The asking price for this property is 850,000 euros, which translates to approximately 9,239 euros per square meter of living space.
