Modern apartment in De Pijp with included parking space
Key Features
Description
This well-located and efficiently arranged modern two-room apartment is situated in the lively and vibrant neighborhood known as De Pijp in Amsterdam. The property spans approximately 61 square meters and is located in a quiet section of Kuipersstraat. One of the notable features of this apartment is the inclusion of a parking space in the underlying parking garage, which is included in the asking price.
The location of this property is exceptional. De Pijp is a lively district known for its trendy shops, restaurants, markets, and outdoor terraces. Within walking distance, residents can enjoy the Sarphatipark, which offers opportunities for sports and relaxation. The immediate vicinity provides everything one might need for daily living, making this an attractive location for those who appreciate urban living with green spaces nearby.
The surrounding area offers a diverse range of amenities. For daily groceries, there are neighborhood shops, delicatessens, and a wide selection of supermarkets within easy reach. The famous Albert Cuypmarkt, known for its fresh products, is also within walking distance. The neighborhood features numerous cafes, terraces, and restaurants catering to various tastes, whether one is looking for a casual drink on a terrace, an extensive dinner, or a quick bite. The variety of trendy shops, boutiques, furniture stores, and drugstores completes the commercial offerings in the area.
The apartment is situated on the ground floor and has its own private entrance. Upon entering, there is a spacious hallway that provides access to the pleasantly spacious living room. Large windows offer a pleasant view of the street, allowing natural light to enter the space. The open kitchen is equipped with various built-in appliances, including a refrigerator, dishwasher, oven, four-burner gas hob, and extractor hood. Adjacent to the kitchen is a practical utility room that houses the central heating boiler and provides a connection for the washing machine.
From the hallway, the remaining rooms are accessible. The generous bathroom is fitted with a walk-in shower and a washbasin. There is a separate toilet room that also features a small sink. The spacious bedroom is quietly located at the rear of the property and offers direct access to the communal inner garden through French doors, providing a pleasant outdoor space for relaxation.
The parking situation is a significant advantage of this property. It is mandatory to purchase a private parking space in the underlying parking garage along with the apartment. This parking space is included in the asking price, which adds considerable value given the challenging parking situation in central Amsterdam.
The property was built in 2012, which means it benefits from relatively modern construction standards. The service costs amount to 141.16 euros per month for the apartment and an additional 120.02 euros per month for the parking space. The apartment is located on leasehold ground (erfpacht), where the ground rent (canon) has been prepaid until November 30, 2059, providing peace of mind for the coming decades.
The property holds an A energy label, indicating good energy efficiency. Heating and hot water are provided by an Intergas gas-fired combination boiler, which is owned by the current owner.
There are some important conditions to be aware of. The property is subject to an anti-speculation clause of 36 months for both the dwelling and the parking space. Additionally, there is a self-occupation requirement of 36 months for the dwelling. The transaction must be completed through a designated project notary: Lubbers en Dijk. Delivery can be arranged by mutual agreement and can take place quickly.
The homeowners association (VvE) appears to be well-organized, with registration with the Chamber of Commerce, annual meetings, periodic contributions, a reserve fund, a maintenance plan, and building insurance all in place.
There is a priority arrangement for certain buyers. Tenants currently renting from Eigen Haard who wish to purchase a property from Eigen Haard receive priority over other interested parties. This priority exists because the rental property they vacate becomes available for another housing seeker who meets the allocation criteria. Tenants of social rental housing from other housing corporations in the Amsterdam metropolitan region may also qualify for this priority. However, not all properties are sold to such movers, and interested parties who do not qualify for this priority are still invited to express their interest.
