Key Features
Description
This secure and fully enclosed garage box offers an exceptional opportunity for secure parking or additional storage space in one of Amsterdam's most sought after residential districts. Situated at Kastelenstraat 97 in the highly desirable Buitenveldert Zuidoost area, this property provides a practical and highly valuable solution to the ongoing parking challenges within the city. The garage is strategically located near the Van Boshuizenstraat and is just a short distance away from the prominent Gelderlandplein shopping area as well as the bustling Zuidas business district. Because the surrounding neighborhood has implemented strict paid parking regulations with a maximum duration of only three hours, owning a private garage in this specific location represents an incredible advantage for residents, professionals, and investors alike. The immediate availability of this property means that you can take advantage of this exceptional opportunity without any delay, securing your vehicle or belongings in a highly accessible and well maintained environment right away.
The garage box provides a generous internal surface area of exactly twenty square meters, offering ample space for a wide variety of uses. The internal dimensions are meticulously laid out to maximize utility, featuring a length of five point five four meters and a width of three point six zero meters. Furthermore, the ceiling height stands at a comfortable two point two seven meters. This specific combination of length, width, and height ensures that the space is not only perfectly suited for housing standard passenger vehicles, but it also leaves a significant amount of remaining floor space for other essential storage needs. The remarkable width of three point six zero meters is particularly noteworthy. In many standard parking facilities and underground garages, maneuvering a vehicle into a tight space can be an incredibly stressful experience. However, the generous proportions of this specific garage box eliminate such concerns entirely. You can comfortably open your car doors fully without the risk of damaging the paintwork or making contact with adjacent walls or vehicles. Beyond the primary function of vehicle storage, the width and depth of the space allow for the simultaneous parking of a car alongside multiple bicycles, scooters, or large items of inventory. This multifunctional aspect elevates the utility of the property significantly, making it far more than just a simple parking spot.
The property is fully equipped with an electrical connection, adding a significant layer of convenience and functionality to the space. This electrical provision is highly advantageous for maintaining the battery health of modern vehicles through the use of a charging cable, provided the specific amperage and setup align with your vehicle requirements. Additionally, having a reliable power source within the garage facilitates the use of lighting, power tools for minor vehicle maintenance, or the operation of security systems to further protect your valuable possessions. The presence of electricity transforms the space from a basic storage unit into a highly functional and versatile workshop or secure holding area.
Buitenveldert is widely recognized as one of the most pleasant, green, and well maintained residential neighborhoods in Amsterdam. The area is characterized by its spacious layout, abundant mature trees, and a distinctly tranquil atmosphere that contrasts beautifully with the bustling energy of the nearby city center. Living or working in Buitenveldert means enjoying a high quality of life, with easy access to numerous parks, recreational facilities, and excellent schools. The immediate vicinity of this garage box is exceptionally well served by a wide array of local amenities. The Gelderlandplein, one of the largest and most diverse shopping centers in Amsterdam, is located just a short distance away. Here, you can find everything from luxurious boutiques and specialty food stores to large supermarkets and cozy cafes, ensuring that all your daily shopping needs are met with absolute convenience. Furthermore, the proximity to the Zuidas is a monumental advantage for professionals. The Zuidas is Amsterdam's premier international business district, hosting the headquarters of numerous multinational corporations, prestigious law firms, and financial institutions. Having a secure parking space just moments away from this major employment hub significantly reduces the stress and time associated with daily commutes.
For those who frequently travel, the location offers unparalleled connectivity. The direct proximity to the Ring A10 motorway allows for rapid transit to any part of the Netherlands, while Schiphol Airport is merely ten minutes away by car, making international travel incredibly straightforward and efficient. The city of Amsterdam has implemented stringent parking policies over the years to manage traffic flow and encourage the use of public transportation. In the Buitenveldert area, these policies are strictly enforced, with paid parking being the standard and a maximum duration limit of only three hours for visitors or non residents. This regulatory environment makes owning a private garage box not just a matter of convenience, but an absolute necessity for anyone who owns a vehicle and wishes to park it securely for extended periods without incurring substantial parking fees or the constant risk of parking violations. The value of a private parking space in such a restricted environment cannot be overstated. It provides a guaranteed spot in a neighborhood where finding a space on the street can often be a time consuming and frustrating endeavor. Whether you are a local resident looking to free up space in your own private garage for a second vehicle, or an individual who commutes to the Zuidas for work and requires a dependable place to leave your car during business hours, this garage box provides a definitive solution to a common urban problem. The peace of mind that comes from knowing your vehicle is safely enclosed, protected from the elements, and secure from potential theft or vandalism is an invaluable asset in a major metropolitan area.
Understanding the financial and legal structure of real estate in Amsterdam is crucial, and this property comes with specific, clearly defined parameters. The property is situated on municipal leasehold land, formally known as gemeentelijke erfpacht, operating under the general provisions established in nineteen fifty five. The leasehold arrangement is designated as continuous, or voortdurende erfpacht. The annual ground rent, or canon, is currently fixed at an exceptionally low rate of fifty three euros and ninety nine cents per year, and this favorable rate remains securely fixed until the fifteenth of June, twenty thirty nine. This long term fixed cost provides significant financial predictability and peace of mind for the owner, shielding them from unexpected increases in ground rent for the foreseeable future. The property is part of a Homeowners Association, or Vereniging van Eigenaren, which is professionally managed by Munnik VvE Beheer. Professional management ensures that the building's common areas, structural integrity, and administrative obligations are handled with the highest level of expertise and efficiency. The monthly service charges for the garage box are set at fifty euros and forty five cents. These service costs contribute to the maintenance of the overall complex, including exterior upkeep, structural insurance, and general administrative expenses, ensuring that the property retains its value and functionality over the long term.
The transfer process for this property has been streamlined to ensure a smooth and efficient transaction. There is a fixed project notary designated for this sale, specifically Dudok Legal, which is conveniently located in Buitenveldert. Using a fixed notary is a common practice that helps expedite the legal process and ensures that all documentation is handled consistently and professionally. The property is available for transfer immediately, meaning that upon successful completion of the purchase agreement and the necessary legal checks, you can take possession of the garage box right away. This immediate availability is ideal for buyers who require urgent parking or storage solutions without the lengthy waiting periods often associated with standard real estate transactions. In summary, this twenty square meter garage box represents a highly practical investment. The combination of generous internal dimensions, the inclusion of electrical facilities, a secure and highly accessible location, and transparent financial arrangements makes this an exceptionally rare find in the competitive Amsterdam real estate market.
