Luxuriously Renovated 4-Room Apartment in Green Amsterdam-Noord
Key Features
Upsides
- Thorough renovation completed in 2020 with updated kitchen, bathroom, sanitary facilities, and modern layout creating three proper bedrooms
- Availability of an elevator making the apartment accessible for all ages and suitable for aging in place
- Attractive location as the last building on the street offering maximum tranquility with green views, while remaining relatively well-connected via the North-South metro line
Downsides
- Energy label F indicates poor energy efficiency, which combined with the building year 1968 suggests significant future energy upgrade costs and lower comfort levels
- The property uses a membership right structure (lidmaatschapsrecht) rather than full apartment ownership, which may complicate financing and future resale, despite the planned conversion to apartmentsrecht
- Ground lease (erfpacht) arrangement with municipal ownership requires ongoing annual payments of 202 euros with an expected recalculation from 2026 onwards, potentially increasing costs
Description
This luxurious 4-room apartment is situated on the fifth floor of a well-maintained residential complex located at the Jisperveldstraat in Amsterdam-Noord. Built in 1968, the apartment offers approximately 84.1 square meters of living space and has been thoroughly renovated in 2020, transforming it into a modern and comfortable home.
The complex itself features a secured entrance with an intercom installation, elevators for easy accessibility, a stairwell, and individual storage units in the basement. The building is the last one on the street, providing residents with abundant tranquility and pleasant green views from the apartment.
Upon entering the apartment via the gallery walkway, you are welcomed into a hallway that provides access to almost all rooms. The hallway includes a renewed meter cupboard and a separate toilet with a small handbasin.
The bright living room connects to a luxurious semi-open kitchen, creating a pleasant flow for daily living and entertaining. The kitchen is modernly designed and equipped with various built-in appliances, including an induction cooktop, dishwasher, and a Silsiuz boiling water tap, along with other luxury facilities.
From the living room, you can access the sunny balcony through a door. This balcony is oriented towards the sunny side of the building and offers lovely and unobstructed views over the surrounding greenery. It is a perfect spot to enjoy the outdoors, relax, and soak up the sun without being disturbed by neighboring views.
The layout has been efficiently adapted to create a spacious bathroom and no fewer than three good-sized bedrooms. The master bedroom features a convenient walk-in closet, providing ample storage space for clothing and personal items.
The modern bathroom is spacious and elegantly finished, complete with underfloor heating for added comfort. It includes a shower and a vanity unit with a washbasin. Additionally, the apartment has a practical utility room with a washing machine connection and a recently renewed boiler for hot water supply.
For storage needs, the apartment includes its own private storage unit located in the basement of the building. This offers practical extra space for items that are not needed on a daily basis.
The location of this apartment is central yet quiet, situated in Amsterdam-Noord and surrounded by abundant green areas. Shopping center Boven 't IJ and the Waterlandplein are both within short distance for daily groceries and amenities. The area also offers various schools, sports facilities, and dining options in the immediate surroundings.
The accessibility of the location is excellent. The North-South metro line is within a short cycling distance, providing quick connections to Amsterdam Centraal station and the Zuidas business district. By car, you can reach the Ring A10 within a few minutes, making regional travel straightforward.
For recreation and leisure, the countryside of Amsterdam-Noord and the recreation area Het Twiske are nearby, offering opportunities for outdoor activities and nature walks.
The apartment comes with a membership right (lidmaatschapsrecht), though the homeowners association (VvE) intends to convert this into full apartment ownership rights in the future. Financing for this type of ownership can be arranged through ASN Bank (formerly SNS Bank). The standard mortgage conditions and interest rates apply.
Monthly service costs amount to 425 euros, including an advance payment for heating costs and ground rent canon.
The property is registered in the land registry as Amsterdam AL 284 and is legally situated in municipal ownership subject to ground lease. The annual ground lease obligations are 202 euros. The owners have recently applied for a revision of the ground lease conditions and expect a recalculation of the annual canon from 2026.
This apartment combines modern living comfort with a peaceful location in one of Amsterdam's most up-and-coming neighborhoods, making it an attractive option for those seeking space, quality, and accessibility in the northern part of the city.
