Key Features
Upsides
- The leasehold has been redeemed in perpetuity, eliminating ongoing ground lease payments that are common with many Amsterdam properties.
- The apartment was fully renovated in 2022, including a new kitchen, new bathroom, new flooring, and freshly plastered walls, making it immediately habitable without renovation costs.
- The corner position provides views of greenery and water from multiple sides while ensuring privacy from neighboring properties.
- A private covered parking space is included with the property, which is a valuable feature in Amsterdam where parking can be difficult and expensive.
- The location offers direct proximity to the Gaasperplas recreational area while maintaining excellent public transport connections to the city center via metro line 53.
Downsides
- The central heating boiler dates from 2012, which is older than the recent renovation and may require replacement in the coming years.
- The monthly service charges total approximately 357.51 euros, which is relatively high for an apartment of this size.
- The mezzanine level on the fifth floor likely has sloped ceilings or limited headroom due to the roof structure, which may restrict usable space.
- The building dates from 1980, and despite renovations, the fundamental structure and insulation may not match the standards of newer construction.
- The apartment is located in Amsterdam Southeast, which generally has lower property values and longer travel times to the city center compared to more central districts.
Description
This five-room apartment is situated in the Gaasperpark area of Amsterdam, approximately 100 meters from the Gaasperplas lake. The property has a total living area of 118 square meters spread across two floors, providing a practical and spacious living arrangement. The building was constructed in 1980 and the apartment occupies a corner position on the upper levels, offering views of greenery and water from multiple sides.
The interior of the apartment underwent a comprehensive renovation in 2022. This renovation included the installation of a new kitchen equipped with built-in appliances and generous countertop space. The bathroom was completely renewed and features a walk-in shower and a vanity unit. New flooring was installed throughout the property and the walls were finished with smooth plasterwork. The result is a move-in ready home that requires no additional work or investment from the new owner.
The layout of the apartment is distributed over two levels. The fourth floor contains the main living areas. Here you will find a through-living room that receives natural light from multiple directions due to the corner position. The living room provides an unobstructed view of the surrounding greenery. The modern kitchen is located on this floor along with three bedrooms, a bathroom, and a separate toilet. The balcony, measuring 8 square meters, is accessible from this level and offers a sheltered outdoor space with privacy from neighboring properties.
Access to the fifth floor is provided by an internal staircase. This upper level, described as a mezzanine or vide, contains a large bedroom and a bright workspace area. A skylight in this section ensures good natural light penetration and ventilation. Two of the four bedrooms are currently configured as a home office and a walk-in closet, demonstrating the flexibility of the space to accommodate various lifestyle needs.
The technical specifications of the property include an energy label B rating, which indicates a reasonable level of energy efficiency for a building of this age. The windows feature plastic frames with HR+ double glazing and integrated blinds, contributing to insulation and convenience. The central heating system is an Intergas combi compact boiler installed in 2012. According to the listing, this boiler was serviced in December 2025 and is reported to function well.
The apartment building is equipped with a video intercom system at the central entrance, providing security for residents. An elevator is available in the building, making the upper floor location accessible. A storage unit of 6 square meters is located on the ground floor, providing additional space for belongings. The property also includes a private covered parking space in a nearby garage, which is a valuable asset in this area of Amsterdam.
One significant financial advantage of this property is the leasehold situation. The ground lease has been redeemed in perpetuity, meaning there are no recurring leasehold payments. This eliminates a common additional cost associated with many Amsterdam properties and provides certainty for the future owner.
The service charges for the apartment are 335.70 euros per month, with an additional 21.81 euros per month for the parking space, totaling approximately 357.51 euros per month. These charges cover the maintenance of common areas and the reserve fund. The homeowners association is properly registered with the Chamber of Commerce, holds annual meetings, maintains a reserve fund, has a maintenance plan in place, and has building insurance.
The location of this apartment offers a combination of natural surroundings and urban convenience. The Gaasperpark and Gaasperplas are immediately adjacent to the property. These areas provide opportunities for outdoor activities including walking, jogging, swimming, canoeing, and sailing. Between the residential buildings in the area there are vegetable gardens and sports facilities. The adjacent Brassapark contains the largest skate park in the Netherlands.
Daily necessities are available within walking distance, including shops, schools, childcare facilities, a health center, and a community center. For transportation, the property is well connected. Metro line 53 serves the Gaasperplas station located 500 meters from the apartment, providing direct access to Amsterdam city center. Bus lines 47 and 49 also stop nearby. For car travel, the A1, A9, and A10 highways are easily accessible from this location.
The asking price for this apartment is 495,000 euros, which translates to approximately 4,195 euros per square meter of living space. This price is offered on a costs-for-buyer basis, meaning the buyer is responsible for transfer taxes and notarial fees in addition to the purchase price. The acceptance terms are to be negotiated.
This property would be well suited for buyers seeking a spacious home in a green environment while maintaining good connections to the city. The combination of a complete renovation, perpetual leasehold, private parking, and proximity to recreational facilities makes this a notable offering in the Amsterdam Southeast housing market.
