Bright apartment with rooftop terrace in Oud-West
Key Features
Description
This apartment is situated on the fourth floor of a building located on Kinkerstraat in the Da Costabuurt-Noord neighborhood of Amsterdam. The property was originally built in 1893 and has been measured according to BBMI standards, resulting in a living area of 38 square meters. The building features a composite roof covered with bituminous roofing material.
The apartment is accessed via a shared staircase. Upon reaching the third floor, residents have their own private entrance leading to stairs that continue up to the fourth floor, which is also the top floor of the building. This elevated position contributes to the pleasant amount of natural light that enters the living space.
The living room features an open kitchen layout, creating a spacious and inviting atmosphere. The kitchen is described as standard but practically designed, equipped with built-in appliances and offering sufficient workspace and storage capacity. Large skylights and a dormer window allow natural light to stream into the living area, enhancing the bright character of the apartment.
Located at the rear of the apartment is the bedroom, which is described as generous in size. From the bedroom, residents have direct access to the rooftop terrace measuring 6 square meters. This outdoor space provides a quiet spot to enjoy fresh air and sunshine, away from the busier street below.
The bathroom is compact but efficiently arranged, containing a shower, a sink, and a toilet. The apartment is equipped with natural ventilation and has a TV cable connection available.
Regarding energy efficiency, the property has an energy label F. The building has some insulation measures in place, including roof insulation, double glazing, and floor insulation. Heating and hot water are provided by a gas-fired combi boiler that is owned by the current owner rather than rented.
The apartment is located on freehold land, meaning there is no ground lease (erfpacht) applicable. This is a significant advantage in the Amsterdam property market where many properties are subject to ground lease.
The surrounding area offers a prime location in the Oud-West district of Amsterdam. Kinkerstraat is known as a vibrant street with various amenities nearby. The Vondelpark and the Jordaan neighborhood are within walking distance, and the Elandsgracht can be reached easily by bicycle. The cultural venue De Hallen, which combines art, culture, shopping, cinema, and dining, is located just a short distance away.
Accessibility is rated as good for various modes of transport. By bicycle, the city center of Amsterdam can be reached within approximately two minutes. Public transport provides direct connections to Amsterdam Central Station and other parts of the city. The A10 ring road is accessible within a few minutes by car. Parking in the area is regulated through a permit system.
The property is part of a homeowners association called Vereniging van eigenaars gebouw Kinkerstraat 90 te Amsterdam. The monthly contribution to this association is 50 euros. According to the VvE checklist provided, the association is registered with the Chamber of Commerce (KvK) and has building insurance in place. However, the checklist indicates that there is no annual meeting held, no reserve fund present, and no maintenance plan in place.
The asking price for this apartment is 350,000 euros, which translates to approximately 9,211 euros per square meter of living space. The transfer tax exemption for first-time buyers (startersvrijstelling) applies to this property. The designated notary for the transaction is Bellaar, located in Amstelveen.
Two clauses are included in the purchase agreement. An age clause applies due to the building's construction year of 1893, which is standard for older properties in Amsterdam. A non-owner-occupied clause is also applicable, meaning the property is intended to be occupied by the owner rather than used as a rental investment.
The cadastral designation specifies that the apartment right comprises the exclusive use of residential space with appurtenances on the fourth floor of the building. The property is cadastrally registered in the municipality of Amsterdam, section Q, complex designation 8784-A, apartment index 5. This represents an undivided 43/259th share in the property involved in the division.
The total volume of the apartment is 132 cubic meters. The property is classified as an upper-floor apartment (bovenwoning) within an existing building. The listing indicates that the property is located on both a busy road and within a residential area, reflecting the urban character of the Kinkerstraat location.
This apartment may be particularly suitable for first-time buyers looking to enter the Amsterdam housing market. The combination of a central location, private outdoor space, and freehold ownership makes this a noteworthy property in the current market conditions.
