This apartment is situated on the thirteenth and highest floor of the building at Langswater 649 in the Dijkgraafpleinbuurt neighborhood of Amsterdam Nieuw-West. The property offers a generous living area of 72 square meters and features three bedrooms, making it a comfortable four-room home suitable for various living situations.

Upon entering the building, residents have access to a communal entrance with mailboxes and two elevators. The storage units in the basement are accessible both through the indoor route and from the outside. Taking the elevator to the thirteenth floor brings you to the gallery where the apartment entrance is located.

The interior layout begins with a draft porch that leads into the hallway, which provides access to almost all rooms in the apartment. The living room is positioned at the rear of the property and benefits from abundant natural light. From this room, there is an impressive unobstructed view that extends far into the distance, thanks to the elevated position of the apartment.

A practical sliding door connects the living room to an adjacent bedroom, which in turn provides access to the balcony. This outdoor space faces south, ensuring plenty of sunlight throughout the day. The balcony is spacious enough to accommodate a comfortable seating area where residents can enjoy the views and the favorable orientation.

The second bedroom is located at the front of the apartment and is a generously sized room equipped with a built-in closet wall, offering practical storage space for clothing and personal belongings. This room also enjoys pleasant views from its elevated position.

The kitchen is situated on the gallery side of the apartment and features an L-shaped layout. It is fitted with a gas cooktop, a sink, an oven, and a combination of upper and lower cabinets providing adequate storage for kitchenware and supplies. The kitchen is functional and well organized for daily meal preparation.

Adjacent to the kitchen is the third bedroom. While slightly smaller than the other two, this room still serves well as a bedroom, home office, or study. A fixed closet in this room houses the electric boiler that supplies hot water to the apartment.

The bathroom is positioned opposite the kitchen and is equipped with a large vanity unit with an illuminated mirror, a towel cabinet, a walk-in shower, and a washing machine connection.

In the basement of the building, there is a spacious storage unit belonging to the apartment, measuring 6 square meters. This provides additional space for storing bicycles, seasonal items, or other belongings that do not need to be kept in the apartment itself.

The building dates from 1966 and has a flat roof covered with bituminous roofing material. Despite its age, the complex is well maintained, as evidenced by the active homeowners association that manages the property professionally. The monthly VvE contribution is 288.63 euros, which includes the building insurance, communal costs, and reserves for major maintenance. An additional advance of 85.28 euros per month is charged for heating costs, as the apartment is heated by district heating.

The property has an energy label C, which reflects a reasonable level of energy efficiency. Hot water is provided by an electric boiler that was installed in 2023 and is rented for 48.30 euros per month.

The apartment is located on municipal leasehold land. The current ground lease amount is 72.39 euros per year, which is indexed annually on October 1st. The current lease period runs until March 31, 2040, after which it will be revised. Prospective buyers should take this into account when considering the long-term costs of the property.

The location of this apartment is one of its strong points. It is situated in a highly accessible area with excellent connections to public transportation and various amenities. Within a few minutes walking distance, there is a supermarket and the tram stop for line 17, which provides direct connections to Amsterdam Central Station and Station Lelylaan with further connections to Schiphol Airport.

For daily shopping needs, residents can visit the stores at Dijkgraafplein and Tussen Meer, both within walking distance. The larger Osdorpplein shopping center is slightly further away but still easily accessible and offers a wide range of shops as well as the Meervaart theater. Additionally, the Akerpoort shopping center and De Dukaat at Ecuplein are located in the nearby area.

The neighborhood is part of Nieuw-West, which is known as the greenest district of Amsterdam. The immediate surroundings offer numerous options for recreation and relaxation. Nature Park Vrije Geer, Kasterleepark, the Gardens of West, and Rembrandtpark are all in the vicinity. The Sloterpark with the Sloterplas lake is particularly notable, offering opportunities for walking, running, cycling, or simply enjoying a terrace by the water. The beach areas at Nieuwe Meer and the Oeverlanden are also easily accessible by bicycle. Several gyms and the Sloterparkbad swimming pool are located nearby.

The accessibility by car is also excellent. The Ring road A10 and the highways A4, A5, and A9 can all be reached within approximately five minutes.
