Move-In Ready Family Home with Private Parking in Charming De Aker Neighborhood
Key Features
Upsides
- Private parking space directly next to the property, which is a significant advantage in Amsterdam where parking is typically difficult and expensive.
- Energy label A+ with 10 solar panels installed in 2022 and a modern Intergas CV boiler from 2021, resulting in lower energy costs and a smaller environmental footprint.
- Extensively renovated in recent years including the bathroom, toilet, and flooring with underfloor heating in 2021, plus a new veranda and fencing in 2024, meaning the property is move-in ready with minimal immediate maintenance required.
- Family-friendly location in De Aker with three primary schools within a five-minute walk, a daycare nearby, and a village-like atmosphere with waterways and green spaces while still being well-connected to the city center.
Downsides
- The leasehold (erfpacht) is only prepaid until January 31, 2049, after which an annual payment of 2,030.81 euros will be required. This creates future financial uncertainty and ongoing costs.
- The kitchen has a gas cooktop rather than induction, which may not align with future regulations or preferences for electric cooking.
- At 94 square meters, the plot size is relatively small for a family home, limiting outdoor space expansion possibilities.
- The property is located in Amsterdam Nieuw-West, which is further from the city center and major employment hubs like the Zuidas compared to more central neighborhoods, requiring longer commute times.
Description
This semi-detached family home is situated in the De Aker neighborhood of Amsterdam and offers a well-maintained living environment suitable for families. The property was built in 2003 and has a total living area of 122 square meters spread across three floors. With four bedrooms, a private parking space, and a southwest-facing garden, this residence combines practical living with modern comfort.
The ground floor welcomes visitors through a hallway that was renovated in 2021, featuring a modern toilet with a washbasin. From the hallway, one enters the bright living room with an adjoining open-plan kitchen. Large windows allow abundant natural light to fill the space throughout the day. The entire ground floor benefits from underfloor heating that was installed in 2021, providing consistent and comfortable warmth. Stylish shutters are present on the windows and will remain with the property, contributing to the refined appearance of the interior.
The open kitchen is equipped with various built-in appliances including a refrigerator, gas cooktop, dishwasher, and extractor hood. A composite countertop completes the kitchen design and offers a durable work surface for daily meal preparation.
The living room provides direct access to the backyard, which faces southwest and receives plenty of sunlight during the afternoon and evening hours. A veranda was installed in the garden in 2024, creating a covered outdoor space that can be enjoyed for much of the year. The garden also contains a freestanding wooden storage shed for garden tools and equipment. New fencing was installed in 2024, ensuring privacy and a tidy appearance.
The first floor contains three bedrooms and a bathroom that was completely renovated in 2021. The bathroom features a walk-in shower, a vanity unit with drawers, an anti-fog mirror, a designer radiator, and a toilet with a warm-water bidet function. Additionally, this floor has a separate internal storage room with connections for both a washing machine and dryer, allowing these appliances to be placed out of sight.
The second floor houses the largest bedroom in the home. A dormer window has been added to this floor, creating additional floor space and allowing natural light to enter. A technical room on this floor contains the central heating boiler and the solar panel inverter. There is also a separate storage room housing the ventilation unit. Built-in wall cabinets provide extra storage space.
The property has several technical features that contribute to energy efficiency and comfort. Ten solar panels were installed on the roof in 2022. An Intergas gas-fired combination boiler was installed in 2021 and is included in the sale. Roller shutters are fitted throughout the property for security and light control. The energy label is rated A+, indicating good insulation and energy performance.
The De Aker neighborhood is known for its family-friendly character, wide waterways, and a working windmill that gives the area a distinctive village-like atmosphere within Amsterdam. Three primary schools are located within a three to five minute walk from the property, and a daycare center is approximately five minutes away on foot. The Ecuplein shopping center is nearby for daily grocery shopping and other amenities.
Public transportation options are readily available. Tram line 1 is within walking distance and provides a direct connection to the Rijksmuseum and Amsterdam city center. Station Lelylaan can be reached by bicycle in approximately thirteen minutes. The Zuidas business district is accessible within twenty-five minutes. For car travel, the A10, A4, and A9 highways are all reachable within a few minutes. The surrounding area also offers green walking and cycling routes for outdoor recreation.
One notable feature of this property is the private parking space located directly next to the home. In Amsterdam, where parking can be difficult and expensive, having a dedicated parking spot adds significant practical value.
The property is held on leasehold land (erfpacht). The leasehold has been prepaid until January 31, 2049. After this date, the annual leasehold payment will be 2,030.81 euros for the property. Prospective buyers should factor this future cost into their financial planning.
The asking price is 640,000 euros, which translates to approximately 5,246 euros per square meter of living space. The property is available immediately and viewing can be arranged by contacting the listing agent.
With its combination of recent renovations, energy-efficient features, family-oriented location, and practical amenities like private parking, this home presents itself as a complete package for buyers seeking a turnkey residence in one of Amsterdam's distinctive neighborhoods.
