Bright first-floor apartment with two balconies in green Slotermeer
Key Features
Description
This spacious and well-lit four-room apartment is situated on the first floor of a well-maintained residential complex in the Slotermeer neighbourhood of Amsterdam, a green and generously planned area in the western part of the city. The apartment offers approximately 62 square metres of living space and is ideally suited for starters, couples, or small families looking for a comfortable home in the Dutch capital.
Upon entering the apartment via the communal staircase, you are welcomed into a bright and airy living room. The generous windows ensure an abundance of natural daylight throughout the day, creating a pleasant and inviting atmosphere. The living area comfortably accommodates both a cosy seating area and a separate dining space, making it a functional heart of the home.
The kitchen is practically designed and fully equipped with a gas cooktop, dishwasher, combination oven, and a fridge/freezer combination. From the kitchen, you have direct access to one of the two balconies, allowing you to enjoy outdoor meals or fresh air while preparing food. The second balcony is located at the front side of the property, providing outdoor space throughout the day regardless of the sun's position.
The apartment features three bedrooms, all of good size, with several rooms offering direct access to the balconies. This layout provides flexibility for those who need a home office, a guest room, or simply more storage space. The multiple balconies ensure that you can always find a sunny or shaded spot outdoors, adding significant value to the living experience.
The bathroom is compact yet practical, fitted with a washbasin cabinet, a walk-in shower, and a toilet. There is also a dedicated connection for a washing machine, which is conveniently integrated into the bathroom setup. Additional storage is available in the form of a private storage unit located on the ground floor of the complex, ideal for bicycles, luggage, or seasonal items.
The building dates from the period between 1945 and 1959 and is part of a well-managed complex with a homeowners association (VvE). Monthly service costs amount to approximately 132 euros, which covers general maintenance, building insurance, and contributions to a reserve fund. The VvE is properly registered with the Chamber of Commerce, holds annual meetings, and maintains a maintenance plan, indicating responsible management.
The property is heated by a privately owned central heating boiler, which means the new owner will have full control over heating costs and maintenance of this essential system. The current energy label is E, which reflects the age of the building and suggests that improvements to insulation or glazing could increase energy efficiency over time.
The apartment is situated on municipal ground lease (erfpacht) with an annual charge of approximately 81.14 euros, valid until 15 April 2032. Buyers should note that the transition to perpetual ground lease or a new agreement will need to be arranged in due course, as is common in Amsterdam.
The surrounding neighbourhood of Slotermeer is known for its green character and spacious layout. Daily amenities are within easy reach, with the Plein 40-45 shopping centre located just a short walk away. This centre offers a wide range of shops, supermarkets, and dining options. Public transport connections are excellent, with several tram and bus lines operating in the immediate area. Amsterdam Sloterdijk Station and the A10 orbital motorway are both quickly accessible, making commuting to other parts of the city or beyond straightforward.
For recreation and outdoor activities, the Sloterpark and Sloterplas are situated nearby, providing opportunities for walking, cycling, and water sports. The waterway adjacent to the building adds to the pleasant setting of the location.
There are two additional clauses that buyers should be aware of. The non-owner occupancy clause means the property was not used as the owner's primary residence, which may affect financing options with some lenders. The age clause acknowledges that the property is older, which is reflected in the listed price and condition.
Delivery of the property can be arranged quickly and is subject to mutual agreement between buyer and seller.
In summary, this first-floor apartment in Slotermeer offers a practical layout, two balconies, three bedrooms, and a private storage unit, all set within a well-managed complex in a convenient and green neighbourhood of Amsterdam. The property represents a solid option for those seeking space and comfort at a competitive price point in the Amsterdam housing market.
