Light and Move-in Ready Apartment with Sunny South-Facing Balcony

This three-room apartment is located on the first floor of a characteristic building dating back to 1931, situated on the Nepveustraat in Amsterdam. The property has a total living area of 52 square meters and is offered at an asking price of 450,000 euros, with the buyer responsible for the transfer costs. The apartment is situated on own ground, which means there is no ground lease to consider, an important financial consideration for prospective buyers in Amsterdam.

The entrance to the apartment is located on the first floor. Upon entering, you reach an open hallway that provides access to the various rooms in the apartment. The layout has been designed to make efficient use of the available space while maintaining a pleasant flow between the different areas of the home.

The living room is positioned at the front of the apartment and benefits from large windows that allow natural light to enter the space throughout the day. From the living room, there is an unobstructed view over the Crynssenstraat, a quiet street lined with trees that contribute to a pleasant and characteristic streetscape. The windows ensure that the living room feels open and airy.

At the rear of the apartment is the modern open kitchen, which was completely renewed in 2023. The kitchen is equipped with various built-in appliances, including an induction cooktop, dishwasher, combination oven, and refrigerator-freezer. The kitchen also offers ample cabinet space for storage. The washing machine has been neatly integrated into the kitchen area, keeping it out of sight while remaining easily accessible. Recessed spotlights have been installed in the ceiling for a clean and modern finish. The kitchen can be accessed through the living room and also has direct access to the balcony through sliding doors and an additional door.

The balcony measures 5 square meters and faces south, which means it receives sunlight throughout the day. This makes it an ideal spot for outdoor relaxation during the warmer months. The balcony also features a practical storage closet and offers a free view over the green inner gardens of the complex, providing a peaceful setting away from the street.

The apartment has two bedrooms. The larger bedroom is located at the rear of the property and has sliding doors that open onto the balcony. This room also features recessed spotlights in the ceiling, matching the finish of the kitchen area. The second bedroom is situated at the front of the apartment and is well-suited for use as a home office, guest room, or hobby space. Both bedrooms provide reasonable dimensions for their intended purposes within the context of a 52-square-meter apartment.

The bathroom is centrally located within the apartment and has been finished in a neat and modern style. It includes a walk-in shower, a vanity unit with washbasin, a floating toilet, and recessed ceiling spotlights. The central placement ensures that the bathroom is easily accessible from both bedrooms.

The apartment has a wooden floor throughout, which adds to the warm and characteristic atmosphere of the home. The window frames are made of plastic (kunststof), which means they require minimal maintenance compared to traditional wooden frames.

The heating and hot water are provided by an Intergas combination boiler that was installed in 2023. This boiler is owned by the current owner and is located in a closet on the balcony. The relatively new installation date means that the heating system can be expected to function reliably for many years to come.

The property has an energy label C, which is a reasonable rating for a building from 1931. The fact that the kitchen and boiler were both renewed in 2023 may contribute to improved energy efficiency compared to the original state of the apartment.

The apartment is part of a Homeowners Association (VvE) that is professionally managed by VvE Beheer Amsterdam. The VvE holds annual meetings and has a multi-year maintenance plan in place. The association is described as active and has plans for further sustainability improvements. The monthly service costs amount to 152.46 euros. The VvE checklist confirms that the association is registered with the Chamber of Commerce, holds annual meetings, collects periodic contributions, maintains a reserve fund, has a maintenance plan, and has building insurance in place.

The Nepveustraat is located in a part of Amsterdam that combines a residential atmosphere with proximity to urban amenities. The Vondelpark is within walking distance, offering opportunities for walking, sports, and relaxation in a green setting. The immediate vicinity has a variety of cafes, restaurants, and shops. Public transport connections are available nearby, making it easy to reach other parts of the city.

Parking in the area is managed through a paid parking system with the possibility of obtaining parking permits. This is standard for most residential areas in central and near-central Amsterdam.

The asking price per square meter is 8,654 euros, which falls within the typical range for apartments in this part of Amsterdam, particularly given that the property is on own ground. The transfer is to be agreed upon between the parties.

The apartment is presented as being ready for immediate occupancy, meaning that the new owner can move in without needing to carry out significant renovation work. The combination of the recently updated kitchen, new boiler, well-maintained bathroom, and plastic window frames supports this assessment.

In summary, this apartment on the Nepveustraat offers a combination of a characteristic 1931 building with modern updates in the kitchen and heating system, a south-facing balcony with a green view, two bedrooms, and a location close to the Vondelpark and other urban amenities. The property being on own ground and having a reasonably active and well-managed VvE are additional positive factors for potential buyers to consider.
