Key Features
Description
This property is located on the Jan Vrijmanstraat in the Theo van Goghparkbuurt neighborhood of Amsterdam, specifically on the Rieteilanden area of IJburg. The house was built in 2009 and offers approximately 152 square meters of living space spread across three floors. The property is classified as a terraced single family home with a flat roof covered with bituminous roofing material.
The rear garden of this residence borders directly onto the groene tunnel, which is a wide canal that provides navigable water access. From this waterway, residents can travel through the lock directly into the IJmeer. The property includes its own private mooring point for a boat or sloop. The garden measures 74 square meters and extends 15 meters in depth with a width of 4.9 meters. The garden orientation faces northeast. There are two distinct terrace areas, with the lower terrace having been raised to optimize sunlight exposure. The terrace adjacent to the living room measures 34 square meters.
The interior layout comprises five rooms in total, including four bedrooms. There is one full bathroom and one separate toilet. The bathroom is equipped with a walk-in shower, bathtub, toilet, and washbasin. The property features a modern kitchen and has been finished throughout with attention to detail. The flooring consists of stone tiles laid in a clean, practical manner. The living room has underfloor heating installed, which replaced the original radiators. Glass doors have been installed at the staircase entrance, serving both aesthetic and practical purposes by reducing heat loss and sound transmission.
The property includes an indoor garage with an electric door that can accommodate one vehicle. Additionally, there is a second parking space located under the external steel staircase, which is tolerated by the homeowners association. The total plot size is 125 square meters, and the building volume is 657 cubic meters. There is 26 square meters of additional indoor space and 71 square meters of building-related outdoor space.
The energy efficiency of this home is rated at A+ label. The property features double glazing and full insulation throughout. Heating and hot water are provided through the city heating system (stadsverwarming). The home is equipped with mechanical ventilation, a sliding patio door, fiber optic cable, and TV cable connections.
The property is situated under municipal ground lease (erfpacht) with the current lease paid until November 30, 2057. The homeowners association is described as healthy and active, with professional management costing 74 euros per month. The exterior woodwork was partially painted in 2022, and the association maintains a healthy financial position.
According to the listing, there exists the possibility to expand the property by adding an additional floor of approximately 20 square meters, similar to what several neighboring properties have already done. This would also allow for the creation of a southwest-facing rooftop terrace. It should be noted that an environmental permit would still need to be applied for such modifications. A fifth bedroom could potentially be created through internal reconfiguration.
The location on Jan Vrijmanstraat is at the end of the street, resulting in minimal traffic as only local destination traffic passes through. Children can play safely outside, and the Theo van Gogh Park with various play facilities is located just around the corner. The Rieteilanden area predominantly features spacious single-family homes in the higher price segment.
