Description
This contemporary three‑room apartment is situated on the eighth floor of the well‑known Kleiburg renovation complex in Amsterdam. The building underwent a complete modernisation in 2014 and now offers a high standard of finish throughout the residence. The interior space measures approximately 69 square metres of usable living area and is laid out over a single level. The apartment benefits from smooth plastered walls and ceilings, providing a clean and neutral backdrop for personal decoration.
Upon entering the home you step into a hallway that gives direct access to both the kitchen and the living room. The kitchen is positioned at the front of the apartment and is equipped with a full suite of built‑in appliances. These include a four‑burner gas cooktop, an electric oven, a microwave, an extractor hood, a refrigerator with a separate freezer compartment, and a dishwasher. A functional kitchen worktop and cabinetry complete the layout, making everyday cooking convenient and efficient.
Beyond the kitchen the living room occupies the rear part of the unit. Large windows allow abundant natural light to fill the space, creating a bright and welcoming atmosphere. From the living room a door opens onto a private balcony that stretches across the full width of the apartment. The balcony measures roughly ten square metres and faces southwest, offering a sunny orientation and an unobstructed view toward the centre of Amsterdam. The balcony is an ideal setting for outdoor dining, relaxation, or simply enjoying the cityscape.
Adjacent to the living room are two generously proportioned bedrooms. The first bedroom is located at the front of the unit and provides a quiet space for rest. The second bedroom is positioned at the rear and enjoys direct access to the balcony, allowing for a pleasant indoor‑outdoor connection. Both rooms are of sufficient size to accommodate a double bed, wardrobe, and additional furniture as required.
The bathroom is fully tiled and designed with a modern aesthetic. It contains a shower cabin, a contemporary vanity unit with a sink, a designer radiator, and a wall‑hung toilet. Directly next to the bathroom is a small storage room that houses the connections for a washing machine and a dryer, giving the occupants the convenience of in‑unit laundry facilities.
Additional storage solutions are provided within the building. The apartment includes a private storage compartment on the same floor as the living unit, measuring approximately five square metres. This space can be used for seasonal items, bicycles, or other belongings that require extra room. In the basement of the complex there is a locked communal bicycle storage area, adding further convenience for residents who cycle regularly.
The building itself is equipped with an elevator, ensuring easy access to the eighth floor for all occupants, including those with limited mobility. Mechanical ventilation and natural ventilation systems are installed, contributing to a healthy indoor climate. Television cable connectivity is also available throughout the apartment.
Energy performance is a strong point of this property. The residence carries an energy label A, reflecting the high level of insulation, double glazing, and the efficient heating system that relies on district heating. The label indicates low energy consumption and reduced utility costs for the future owners.
The monthly service charge for the homeowners’ association amounts to €264.13. This contribution includes an advance payment for heating costs of €110 per month, covering a portion of the district heating expenses. The service charge also contributes to the maintenance of common areas, the elevator, and the shared facilities such as the bicycle storage.
Location benefits are considerable. The Kleiburg complex is positioned in a highly sought after part of Amsterdam with excellent transport links. The Kraaiennest metro station is located directly at the doorstep, providing swift connections to the city centre and surrounding districts. Major arterial roads including the A1, A2 and the ring road A10 are easily reachable by car, facilitating convenient travel to and from the neighbourhood.
A range of amenities can be found within walking distance. Schools, supermarkets, and sports facilities are situated nearby, making daily errands straightforward. The Kameleon Shopping Centre offers a variety of retail options for groceries and other necessities. For leisure and entertainment the area hosts several prominent venues such as the Heineken Music Hall, Pathé Arena, Ziggo Dome and the Johan Cruijff Arena, all of which host concerts, sporting events and cultural performances.
The property is sold with a perpetual leasehold that has been fully redeemed, meaning the buyer acquires full ownership without future leasehold payments. The sale includes movable assets that can be transferred to the new owner, allowing for a smoother transition. The apartment is available for immediate occupation or can be handed over at a mutually agreed date.
In summary this apartment presents a combination of modern finishes, a strong energy performance, a spacious southwest‑facing balcony, and a very convenient urban location. The inclusion of private and communal storage, a lift, and proximity to public transport makes it well suited for first‑time buyers, young professionals, or anyone seeking a low‑maintenance lifestyle in Amsterdam. The perpetual leasehold redemption eliminates concerns about future ground rent, while the service charge provides transparent budgeting for communal expenses. Potential buyers are invited to arrange a viewing through the HousingNet platform to experience the property firsthand.
