Spacious Family Home with Water View and Roof Terrace in Amsterdam De Aker

Located at Le Tourmalet 26 in the De Aker-West district of Amsterdam, this property offers a spacious and modern family home experience. Situated in a quiet waterfront spot within the popular De Aker neighborhood, the residence is designed to provide a peaceful living environment away from the noise and traffic of the city. The house is a corner dwelling, specifically a quadrant home, which allows for a generous layout and favorable positioning. With a living area of 138 square meters and a total volume of 460 cubic meters, the house feels airy and substantial. The property was built in 1995 and features a flat roof covered with bituminous roofing material. It is offered for a price of 695,000 euros, costs to be paid by the buyer.

The living accommodation is spread across three floors. The ground floor serves as the main social hub of the home. Entrance is gained via a spacious hall which immediately provides access to a separate toilet and a practical under-stairs cupboard. The hall leads into the large living room, which is notable for its wooden flooring and the pleasant outlook it offers. From the living room, residents can enjoy a view of the water and the greenery that characterizes the rear of the quadrant. The description highlights that at the back of the quadrant, there is a waterway with lush greenery and a bridge, creating a natural atmosphere. This view is a key feature of the ground floor living experience. Connected to the living room is an open kitchen. The kitchen is equipped with a variety of appliances. While the listing notes that the kitchen is reasonably dated, it is described as still being perfectly usable, allowing new owners to renovate at their leisure without immediate pressure.

Ascending to the first floor, one finds a spacious landing that provides access to the various rooms on this level. The first floor currently contains two very spacious bedrooms. The layout is designed with flexibility in mind. The largest bedroom on this floor measures approximately 6.5 meters in width. Although currently used as a single large room, it can easily be divided to restore the original layout of two bedrooms. The listing emphasizes that this conversion is straightforward because the necessary provisions are already in place. Light points, switches, radiators, and doors are already installed, meaning that a new owner would only need to place a partition wall to create a third bedroom on this floor. This adaptability means the house can comfortably function as a three-bedroom home or be expanded to four bedrooms to suit larger families. Also located on the first floor is a separate toilet room. The bathroom is located on this floor as well and is equipped with a corner bathtub, a separate shower cabin, and a washbasin, providing all necessary sanitary facilities.

The second floor is accessible via a fixed staircase and continues the use of wooden flooring found on the levels below. This floor offers a versatile space that can serve multiple functions. It is currently presented as a pleasant area suitable for use as a bedroom. However, the size and nature of the space also make it an excellent candidate for a spacious home office or perhaps an artist's studio. The utility needs of the house are also catered for on this floor. There is a dedicated laundry room with connections for a washing machine and dryer. The central heating boiler, an Intergas high-efficiency combi boiler from 2007, is installed on this floor as well. A major advantage of the second floor is the direct access it provides to a large roof terrace. This roof terrace covers 25 square meters and offers a high degree of privacy. It boasts a fantastic and unobstructed view, making it an ideal spot for outdoor relaxation or entertaining.

Storage solutions are well integrated into the property. The house features an internal storage room which is conveniently accessible from both the outside, next to the front door, and from inside the house. This internal space is useful for storing items such as bicycles or general household equipment. Additionally, the garden contains a free-standing wooden shed. This external storage unit provides 5 square meters of space and is suitable for housing garden furniture, barbecues, or additional bicycles.

The outdoor space of the property is a significant asset. The house has a front garden or sun terrace measuring 63 square meters. The garden has a depth of 10.80 meters and a width of 5.80 meters. It is situated on the southeast, ensuring that the outdoor space benefits from sunlight throughout a large part of the day. The location of the property itself is on a quiet road near the water and within a residential area, offering a free view. The surrounding neighborhood of De Aker is known for being child-friendly and is conveniently located near schools. For daily shopping needs, the Dukaat shopping center is nearby. The general area is characterized by its greenery and the water features that run through the neighborhood.

From a technical and legal standpoint, the property has several notable features. It holds an Energy Label B, which reflects a good level of energy efficiency. This is achieved through comprehensive insulation measures including roof insulation, floor insulation, wall insulation, and double glazing. The home is heated by the gas-fired combi boiler and features a mechanical ventilation system to ensure good air quality. The property is situated on municipal leasehold ground. An important financial detail is that the ground lease has been paid off until December 15, 2043. This covers a significant period, freeing the new owner from periodic ground rent payments for nearly two decades. The property ownership situation regarding the land is listed as leasehold under the municipality.

Parking is managed via a permit system in this area. The listing mentions that there is currently no waiting list for a parking permit, which is a distinct advantage in Amsterdam where parking permits often have long queues. Public parking and paid parking options are also available. The delivery of the property is by agreement, though the listing notes that a quick move-in is possible. It is important to be aware that a non-occupancy clause applies to this property, which restricts the owner from living in the house themselves immediately, often relevant for investors or those who already own a home. The house is available for viewings, with specific open house days organized by the listing agent. In summary, Le Tourmalet 26 is a spacious, well-insulated family home in a quiet part of Amsterdam, offering flexible living spaces, good storage, and a pleasant outdoor environment.
