Move-in ready duplex apartment with water views and private parking on Centrumeiland

This move-in ready duplex apartment is situated on Centrumeiland, one of the newest residential areas within the IJburg district in Amsterdam East. The property spans 71 square meters of living space across two floors and includes two bedrooms, a balcony with unobstructed views over the water, and a private parking space in the adjacent parking garage.

The apartment is part of the Mooijburg Waterzicht project, which has been nominated for the Amsterdam New Build Award. This residential complex stands out for its sustainable construction methods, being built entirely from wood using a CLT (Cross Laminated Timber) construction with timber frame facade elements and wooden cladding. The front elevation features bamboo facade cladding that has been treated according to the shou sugi ban principle, a traditional Japanese technique where the wood is burned to achieve a deeper black color while enhancing its durability and weather resistance.

The entrance to the apartment is located on the third floor, accessible by elevator. Upon entering, you are welcomed into a spacious and bright hallway that provides access to the first bedroom, which features a sliding door. A notable architectural element is the large window that spans two floors, allowing abundant natural light to flood the staircase leading to the upper level.

The upper floor contains the main living areas. Here you will find a separate toilet, the living room with an open kitchen, and a practical storage room. The kitchen is fully equipped with modern appliances including a dishwasher, extractor hood, fridge-freezer combination, combination oven, induction cooktop, Quooker instant boiling water tap, and a water filtration system. The storage room opposite the kitchen has connections for a washing machine and dryer, and includes a rotating pantry cabinet for additional convenience.

The living room provides direct access to the balcony, which offers an unobstructed view over the water. This outdoor space measures 5 square meters and provides a pleasant setting for relaxation or outdoor dining.

At the rear of the apartment are the second, larger bedroom and the modern bathroom. The second bedroom overlooks the inner courtyard of the complex. The bathroom is finished to a high standard and features a freestanding bathtub, a luxury walk-in shower, a sleek vanity unit with double sink, and a second toilet.

Throughout the entire apartment, a quality PVC floor has been installed. The property benefits from underfloor heating and cooling powered by a WKO (Warmte-Koude Opslag) system, which can be controlled independently per room. This geothermal energy system makes the apartment gas-free and contributes to its exceptional A++++ energy rating. Additionally, six solar panels are installed for private use, further reducing energy costs.

A water softener is installed in the apartment, which helps protect plumbing and appliances from limescale buildup and can improve the longevity of the heating system.

Centrumeiland offers a convenient location within the broader IJburg area. The apartment is within walking distance of Haveneiland, which provides a wide range of amenities including primary schools, a secondary school, various childcare centers, supermarkets, and shops along the Pampuslaan and IJburglaan. The IJburg Shopping Center offers an extensive selection of retail options, while the marina area features various restaurants and bars.

For nature enthusiasts, the Diemerpark and Vijfhoek nature reserves are approximately a five-minute bike ride away. Blijburg beach, a popular recreational spot, can be reached on foot within a few minutes. The location is also well-connected to the road network, with easy access to the A1, A2, and A9 motorways via the IJburglaan, which also connects to the A10 ring road and Amsterdam city center.

Public transport is served by tram line 26, which reaches Amsterdam Central Station within approximately 15 minutes.

The property comes with a private parking space in the parking garage, which is a valuable feature in Amsterdam where parking is often difficult and expensive. The building also has a shared bicycle storage area and a communal courtyard maintained by the VvE (Homeowners Association).

The VvE is properly established with registration at the Chamber of Commerce (KvK), holds annual general meetings, collects periodic contributions, maintains a reserve fund, has a maintenance plan in place, and has arranged building insurance. The monthly service costs amount to 166.60 euros for both the apartment and parking space.

The property is subject to perpetual ground lease (erfpacht). The annual ground lease fee is fixed at 2,114 euros for both the apartment and parking space combined.

An occupancy requirement (zelfbewoningsplicht) applies to new residents, valid until April 2, 2027. This means the property must be used as the primary residence of the buyer and cannot be rented out during this period.

The apartment was built in 2024 and is classified as existing construction despite being newly built. The building is equipped with mechanical ventilation and has TV cable connections available.

Delivery of the property is by mutual agreement, allowing flexibility for both buyer and seller to determine a suitable transfer date.
