Spectacular corner apartment with panoramic views over the Zuidas skyline in Amsterdam Zuid
Key Features
Description
This spacious corner apartment is situated on the fifth floor of a well-maintained residential complex in the heart of Amsterdam Zuid, specifically along the stately Minervaplein. The property offers approximately 110 square meters of living space, measured in accordance with the NEN 2580 measurement guidelines, and provides two generously proportioned bedrooms with the possibility to easily create a third bedroom if desired.
One of the most striking features of this apartment is its exceptional corner position, which results in no fewer than eight window sections flooding the living spaces with natural light throughout the day. The unobstructed views over Minervaplein, the Michelangelostraat, and the impressive skyline of the Zuidas district are truly remarkable, particularly during the evening hours when the city lights create a captivating atmosphere.
The layout of the apartment is accessed via a well-presented communal entrance, where both a lift and staircase are available to reach the fifth floor. Upon entering the apartment, a hallway with integrated wardrobe space provides access to all rooms. The heart of the home is the luxurious open-plan kitchen, which features a practical cooking island with a comfortable bar area. The kitchen is fully equipped with high-quality Miele built-in appliances, including an induction hob, a combination steam oven, a conventional oven with warming drawers, a coffee machine, refrigerator, freezer, dishwasher, and a wine climate cabinet. This kitchen is perfectly suited for both everyday cooking and entertaining guests.
Adjacent to the kitchen, the living room benefits directly from the corner positioning and the abundance of natural light. The generous proportions of this room offer ample space for multiple seating arrangements and dining areas, while the views over the surrounding area contribute to a pleasant living environment.
Both bedrooms are accessible from the central hallway. The master bedroom measures approximately 20 square meters and comfortably accommodates a large bed and extensive wardrobe space. The second bedroom is currently furnished as a children's room but is equally suitable for use as a home office or study. Additionally, the internal storage room, currently utilized as a walk-in closet, can easily serve other purposes if required.
The bathroom has been finished to a high standard and includes a walk-in rain shower, a double vanity unit with integrated storage, and underfloor heating for added comfort. A separate guest toilet is conveniently located near the entrance.
Throughout the apartment, a beautiful wooden herringbone floor has been installed, adding warmth and character to the interior. All window frames have been replaced and fitted with HR++ double glazing, while the characteristic sliding window system has been preserved and modernized, maintaining the architectural charm of the building.
The building itself dates from 1957 and is recognized as being situated within a protected city or village view. The complex is professionally managed by an active owners' association (VvE), with a multi-year maintenance plan (MJOP) in place and a reserve fund established. The monthly service costs amount to 402 euros, which covers general maintenance, lift upkeep, and contributions to the reserve fund. It is noted that the seller pays an advance of 89 euros for heating costs, but since this apartment has its own central heating system, the majority of this advance is typically returned at the end of the year.
Regarding the ground lease (erfpacht), the property is subject to a continuous right of emphyteusis. The current period runs until 15 May 2055, with an annual canon of 1,453.68 euros, subject to annual indexation. The transition to perpetual ground lease under the General Provisions 2016 (AB 2016) has been arranged at the notary. The annual canon from 16 May 2055 is set at 2,634.45 euros, excluding inflation.
The location of this apartment is exceptional. Minervaplein is situated in one of the most sought-after areas of Amsterdam Zuid. Within the immediate surroundings, residents have access to an extensive range of high-quality amenities, including the popular Beethovenstraat, Cornelis Schuytstraat, and the prestigious P.C. Hooftstraat with its luxury boutiques. Cultural offerings are equally impressive, with the Concertgebouw and the Museumplein, home to the Rijksmuseum and the Van Gogh Museum, within walking distance or a short cycling distance.
For recreation and sports, the Vondelpark and Olympiaplein are located nearby. The neighborhood is quiet, green, and highly family-friendly, with several renowned international schools, including the British School, situated in the vicinity.
Accessibility is excellent. The ring road A10 can be reached quickly via exit S108, providing easy connections out of the city. Public transport options are plentiful, with tram lines 5 and 24, bus line 15, and Amsterdam Zuid railway station all within a short distance. It is worth noting that two parking permits can be applied for in this area.
The energy performance certificate for this property carries a D rating. The apartment has been fitted with double glazing and floor insulation, and both the ceiling and floor are well insulated. The electrical wiring and plumbing have been fully renewed. Heating and hot water are provided by a Remeha Calenta CW5 40C gas-fired combination boiler from 2012, which is owned outright by the current owner.
Additional notable features include a communal rooftop terrace available for use by residents, a lift in the building, mechanical ventilation, and television cabling. The delivery of the property is to be agreed upon in consultation with the current owners.
This apartment represents an excellent opportunity for those seeking a light-filled, spacious home in one of Amsterdam's most prestigious neighborhoods, combining modern comfort with a privileged location and distinctive views.
