Family Home with Sunny Southwest Garden in Car-Free Street, Amstelveen
Key Features
Upsides
- Car-free street location adjacent to green spaces and playground, creating a safe and peaceful environment for families with children.
- Energy label A rating with eight solar panels and double glazing, resulting in lower energy costs and a smaller environmental footprint.
- Southwest-facing garden of 65 square meters that receives ample afternoon and evening sunlight, ideal for outdoor living.
- Attic floor offers significant potential to add two extra bedrooms and possibly a second bathroom, allowing the property to grow with family needs.
- Convenient location in Amstelveen with schools, shops, sports facilities, and public transport all within close proximity.
Downsides
- The first floor currently has only two bedrooms instead of the original three, meaning the full bedroom count of five requires investment to convert the attic space.
- The combination boiler is from 2011, which is over thirteen years old and may need replacement in the near future.
- No direct parking at the property due to the car-free street, requiring residents to find public parking spaces on nearby streets.
- The property was built in 1978, which means older construction standards and potential maintenance considerations typical of homes from that era.
- Realizing the full potential of the attic requires additional investment for dormer windows and interior construction work.
Description
This terraced house is situated on a car-free street in Amstelveen, directly adjacent to municipal green spaces and a playground. The property offers 115 square meters of living space and is well-maintained, making it a practical choice for families seeking a quiet residential environment while remaining close to daily amenities.
The ground floor features an entrance hall with a toilet room leading into the living area. The living room benefits from large windows that allow plenty of natural light to enter, creating a bright and spacious atmosphere. There is ample room for both a comfortable seating area and a large dining table. The kitchen is practically arranged and equipped with various built-in appliances for everyday cooking needs.
The first floor contains two spacious bedrooms, although the layout previously accommodated three rooms. This floor also has a complete bathroom with a shower, toilet, double sink, and a sink cabinet. The reduction from three to two bedrooms on this level has created more generous room sizes.
The second floor, which is the attic level, currently consists of one large open space. This area offers numerous possibilities for future adaptation. According to the listing, it would be relatively straightforward to divide this floor into two additional bedrooms and potentially add a second bathroom. Installing dormer windows could further increase the usable floor area, which would make the property more attractive for larger families or those who work from home.
The rear garden measures 65 square meters and faces southwest, ensuring plenty of sunlight throughout the afternoon and evening. The garden is 12.47 meters deep and 5.20 meters wide, providing a pleasant outdoor space for relaxation, dining, or children's play. A stone storage shed is attached to the property, offering sufficient space for bicycle storage and general storage needs.
The location in Amstelveen is described as particularly convenient. Schools, shops, sports facilities, and public transport are all available in the immediate vicinity. The combination of green surroundings, a quiet street, and the absence of through traffic creates a child-friendly living environment where children can play safely outside.
The property was built in 1978 and has a gable roof covered with tiles. It has an energy label A rating, which indicates good energy efficiency. This rating is supported by the presence of eight solar panels and double glazing throughout the property. The heating and hot water are provided by a Remeha Calenta combination boiler from 2011, which is owned by the current residents.
The total volume of the house is 406 cubic meters. In addition to the 115 square meters of living space, there is 1 square meter of other indoor space and 6 square meters of external storage space. The plot covers 140 square meters in total.
Parking is available on public roads in the surrounding area, as the street itself is car-free. This means residents need to park their vehicles on nearby streets that do allow car traffic.
The property is offered at 625,000 euros, which translates to approximately 5,435 euros per square meter of living space. The asking price is subject to negotiation regarding the transfer date. The property is available and the kadaster reference is AMSTELVEEN M 3574. The ownership situation is full property rights.
This family home presents a combination of a peaceful location, practical living space, and potential for future expansion. The current layout with three bedrooms can be increased to five with the conversion of the attic floor, making it adaptable to changing family needs over time. The proximity to green spaces and the car-free nature of the street add to the quality of the living environment, particularly for households with young children.
