Description
The property is located on Jan van Eijckstraat in Amsterdam Oud-Zuid, one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in the city. This triple upper house spans approximately 226 square meters of living space across three floors, with an additional one square meter of other indoor space and eight square meters of balcony space. The building dates back to 1930 and is situated within a protected urban landscape.
The exceptional width of more than twelve meters sets this property apart from typical upper houses in Amsterdam. This rare characteristic allows for spacious room layouts and an abundance of natural light throughout the residence. The ceiling height of nearly three meters on the living floor further enhances the sense of space and grandeur.
Access to the property is through a private entrance on the first floor, leading to a stately hallway. From here, a staircase ascends to the second floor, which serves as the main living level. This floor features an en-suite living room configuration that maximizes natural light penetration. The open kitchen is equipped with built-in appliances and connects directly to the living areas.
Also located on the second floor is a bedroom at the rear of the property and a multifunctional room at the front, currently used as an office but easily convertible to a fourth bedroom. A bathroom with shower, sink, and underfloor heating, along with a separate toilet, complete this level. Two balconons are situated on this floor, oriented to the north and south, providing outdoor space for relaxation.
The third floor is accessed via a spacious hallway and permanent staircase. This level functions as a private area containing two generous bedrooms, both featuring built-in closets. A luxurious bathroom on this floor includes a walk-in shower, double sink, and toilet. An additional separate toilet with a small sink adds to the convenience.
The top floor, located in the roof structure, is currently utilized for laundry facilities and storage. While not finished as living space, this area could potentially be developed further, subject to relevant permits and regulations.
The location on Jan van Eijckstraat offers a quiet residential setting while being just steps away from the vibrant Beethovenstraat. This shopping street is known for its exclusive boutiques, specialty shops, and excellent dining options. The property is also close to the prestigious Apollolaan, adding to the desirable character of the neighborhood.
For families, the proximity to leading international and local schools is a significant advantage. The area is well-connected to public transportation, with convenient access to the Zuidas business district, Amsterdam Central Station, Amsterdam South station, and Schiphol Airport. Motorists can easily reach the A10 ring road.
The property is subject to municipal leasehold under the 1994 general conditions, with the current period extending until August 31, 2053. The annual ground lease payment is 3,467.50 euros, subject to five-yearly indexation. There is an option to buy out the leasehold, which would convert the property to freehold status.
The homeowners association is active and small-scale, with the property holding a one-third share. Monthly service costs are currently 200 euros. The VvE is professionally managed and maintains proper documentation including registration with the Chamber of Commerce, annual meetings, periodic contributions, a reserve fund, a maintenance plan, and building insurance.
In terms of energy efficiency, the property has been awarded a C label. The building features double glazing and floor insulation. Windows are wooden frames with double glazing throughout. Heating and hot water are provided by a CV boiler, and the property has mechanical ventilation.
Parking in the area is through a permit system with paid parking. The property does not include a parking space or garage.
The asking price is 1,600,000 euros, which translates to approximately 7,080 euros per square meter of living space. The property is available, and acceptance terms are negotiable. The listing is presented by Eefje Voogd Makelaardij B.V., an MVA Certified Expat Broker.
The total volume of the property is 779 cubic meters. The roof is a composite structure covered with bituminous roofing and tiles. The property is classified as an existing construction apartment, specifically an upper dwelling spanning three living floors.
The cadastral designation is AMSTERDAM Z 2031, with the land under municipal ownership subject to the aforementioned leasehold arrangement.
