Modern 4-Bedroom Apartment with Spacious Balcony in Renovated Kleiburg Complex
Key Features
Upsides
- Energy Label A with HR++ glazing and good insulation, resulting in lower energy costs and a comfortable indoor climate.
- Four bedrooms providing ample space for families or those needing a home office, which is relatively uncommon for apartments of this size.
- A generous 13 square meter full-width balcony offering outdoor space with pleasant views over Amsterdam.
- Excellent public transport connectivity with Kraaiennest metro station directly at the doorstep, providing quick access to the city center and beyond.
- Ground lease (erfpacht) has been prepaid until 2054, eliminating this recurring cost for the foreseeable future.
Downsides
- Total monthly costs are relatively high when combining service charges (164.09 euros) with separate heating and hot water costs (135 euros), totaling approximately 299 euros per month.
- No private parking is included, and the area requires paid parking permits, adding to the ongoing costs of living in this location.
- The ground lease expires in 2054, meaning the buyer will eventually need to negotiate and pay for an extension or conversion, which can involve substantial costs.
- As a gallery flat, the apartment is accessed via a shared external corridor, which may not provide the same level of privacy or security as an internal hallway arrangement.
- The location in Amsterdam Zuidoost, while well-connected, may not appeal to all buyers who prefer more central or traditionally popular neighborhoods.
Description
This five-room apartment is situated on the seventh floor of the Kleiburg complex, a residential building that underwent comprehensive renovation in 2016. The property has a total living area of approximately 99 square meters and features a modern finish throughout, with smooth walls and ceilings that give the interior a clean and contemporary appearance.
The entrance hall provides access to the meter cupboard, the living room, and the kitchen. The open plan kitchen is located at the front of the apartment and comes equipped with ample cupboard space and a composite stone countertop. The kitchen includes several built-in appliances, specifically a four-burner gas hob, a dishwasher, an extractor hood, an oven, and a refrigerator with a separate freezer compartment.
The living room is generously proportioned and positioned at the rear of the property. A door from the living room opens directly onto the balcony, which spans the full width of the apartment and measures 13 square meters. This outdoor space offers a pleasant area for relaxation and outdoor dining.
From the living room, an open hallway leads to four bedrooms in total. Two of these bedrooms are situated at the front of the property, while the other two are located at the rear, with both rear bedrooms having direct access to the balcony. This layout provides flexibility for various living arrangements, whether for a family with children or for those requiring a home office space.
The hallway also gives access to a laundry room, a separate toilet fitted with a wall-mounted toilet and a small washbasin, and the main bathroom. The bathroom is fully tiled and features a shower cabin, a vanity unit with washbasin, and a radiator for towel heating. The entire apartment has a laminate floor finish.
The Kleiburg complex benefits from a lift, making access to the seventh floor straightforward. There is also a mechanical ventilation system and TV cable connection available in the property.
In terms of energy efficiency, the apartment has been awarded Energy Label A. The building features roof insulation and HR++ double glazing, contributing to lower energy consumption. Heating and hot water are provided through the district heating system (stadsverwarming), which is a centralized system common in many Amsterdam apartment complexes.
The property includes a private storage unit measuring approximately 6 square meters, located on the same floor as the apartment. This is the largest type of storage unit available in the complex. Additionally, there is a secured communal bicycle storage area at the ground level of the building.
The location offers excellent accessibility by both public transport and car. Kraaiennest metro station is located directly in front of the complex, providing quick connections to other parts of Amsterdam. The nearby arterial roads include the A1, A2, and the A10 ring road, making travel by car convenient for those who need to commute outside the city.
Daily shopping needs can be met at the Kameleon Shopping Centre in the immediate vicinity. The area also contains schools, sports facilities, and various entertainment venues. The Johan Cruijff ArenA, Ziggo Dome, Heineken Music Hall, and Pathé Arena cinema are all located nearby, offering a range of concerts, sporting events, and entertainment options.
The service costs for the apartment amount to approximately 164.09 euros per month. Additionally, there are charges for heating and hot water through the district heating system, which cost approximately 135 euros per month. These heating costs are excluded from the standard service charge and billed separately.
An important financial aspect of this property is the ground lease (erfpacht) situation. The ground lease has been paid off until the 31st of December 2054, meaning the current owner will not have to make ground lease payments during this period. After this date, the ground lease will need to be addressed, either through extension or conversion to perpetual ground lease, which would involve additional costs.
The apartment is offered at a price of 375,000 euros, which is payable by the buyer (kosten koper). This means the buyer is responsible for the transfer tax and notary costs associated with the purchase. The asking price translates to approximately 3,788 euros per square meter of living space.
Parking in the area is managed through a permit system, meaning residents need to apply for and pay for a parking permit. There is no private parking space included with the apartment.
The homeowners association (VvE) for the complex is properly registered with the Chamber of Commerce (KvK). The association holds annual meetings, has a maintenance plan in place, maintains a reserve fund, and has arranged building insurance. However, it should be noted that the periodic contribution to the reserve fund is marked as no, which may indicate that contributions are made on an ad hoc basis rather than through a fixed monthly amount.
The property is located in the Weesperkarspel district of Amsterdam, and the cadastral designation shows it is municipal property subject to ground lease. The flat roof is covered with bituminous roofing material, which is standard for this type of apartment building.
The apartment offers views over Amsterdam from its elevated position on the seventh floor. The listing describes the view as pleasant, and being located on a quiet road within a residential area while still having good connections to the rest of the city.
This property is currently available and can be occupied immediately upon completion of the purchase process. The listing indicates that viewings can be arranged for interested parties who wish to see the apartment in person before making a decision.
