Description
Located in the highly sought after Amsterdam Oud West district the apartment offers a comfortable urban lifestyle on the first floor of a historic building. The property sits on private land which eliminates leasehold concerns and provides a sense of ownership that is rare in the city centre. The entrance is accessed through a shared staircase that leads directly to the living spaces on the first level. This arrangement creates a quiet entry point while maintaining the communal character of the building.
The living room faces the street and benefits from abundant natural light that fills the space throughout the day. Large windows create an open atmosphere and highlight the quality of the interior finishes. The room is arranged to accommodate a range of furnishing layouts, making it suitable for both relaxed living and entertaining guests. The adjacent open kitchen is equipped with a natural stone countertop that offers a durable work surface. Modern appliances include a dishwasher, a refrigerator with a freezer compartment, a stainless steel oven and a five burner gas cooktop. An extractor hood completes the kitchen setup, providing efficient ventilation during cooking.
A separate toilet is positioned for convenience and is distinct from the main bathroom. The bathroom is spacious and features a bathtub, a rain shower, a washbasin and a towel radiator. High quality fixtures contribute to a contemporary feel and ensure that daily routines are carried out with comfort. The bedroom is located at the rear of the apartment and enjoys a quieter setting away from street noise. French style doors connect the sleeping area to the living space, allowing flexibility in how the rooms are used. The bedroom size is generous for a one bedroom unit and offers ample storage possibilities.
At the back of the property a private balcony extends the living area outdoors. The balcony measures approximately two square metres and provides a personal outdoor space where residents can enjoy fresh air and a view of the surrounding streets. The balcony is accessible from the living area and can be used for small table arrangements, potted plants or a quiet reading spot. The outdoor area adds a valuable dimension to the apartment and enhances the overall living experience.
The building itself dates from the late nineteenth century, with the construction year recorded as 1896. The structure has been maintained over the years and the foundation was renewed in 2008, ensuring a stable base for the property. A flat roof covered with bituminous material provides protection from the elements. The heating system consists of a central heating boiler installed by Remeha in 2014. The boiler supplies both heating and hot water to the apartment, delivering reliable climate control throughout the year.
Ownership of the apartment includes a share in a small owners association consisting of four members. The association is professionally managed, which helps to streamline decision making and maintenance activities. Monthly service charges amount to €152.35 and cover the costs of shared utilities, building insurance and contributions to a reserve fund. The presence of a reserve fund and an established maintenance plan indicates that future repairs are planned for and financial stability is prioritized.
Energy performance for the apartment is rated as label D. This rating reflects the overall energy efficiency of the building and its installations. While not the highest rating, it demonstrates a reasonable level of insulation and modern heating technology. Prospective owners may consider opportunities to improve the energy rating through targeted upgrades, which could further reduce utility costs.
The location of the apartment is a major advantage. It is situated on Kinkerstraat, a lively street that offers a wide variety of cafés, restaurants, boutique shops and supermarkets within easy walking distance. The cultural hub known as De Hallen is nearby and provides a food market, cinema and artisan stores, creating a vibrant neighbourhood atmosphere. A short stroll brings residents to Vondelpark, one of the city’s largest green spaces, where they can enjoy walks, sports activities or simply relax in nature.
Public transport connections are excellent. Several tram and bus lines stop close to the property, allowing quick travel to the city centre and other districts. The nearby A10 ring road provides efficient car access to the broader metropolitan area and beyond. These transport options make commuting and exploring the city convenient for residents of the apartment.
The apartment’s usable area is reported as 40 square metres, with a total built volume of 133 cubic metres. The interior layout is practical, offering a clear separation between living, sleeping and service areas. The presence of a storage room equipped with connections for a washing machine and dryer adds functional space for household chores. The overall design balances compact living with comfort and modern amenities.
