Description
This property is a three room apartment situated on the Palmgracht in the Jordaan district of Amsterdam. The apartment has a living area of 55 square meters and is located on the second floor of the building. The listing describes the property as having been tastefully renovated in 2026. It features a view of the Palmgracht and the Lijnbaansgracht. The location is characterized as a quiet part of the Jordaan while still being central. The layout includes a living room, a modern kitchen, two bedrooms, and a separate storage room. There is a south facing balcony and access to a communal courtyard garden.
Upon entering the second floor via the communal staircase, one arrives in a central hall. This hall provides access to all the rooms in the apartment. The living room and dining area are located at the front of the property. These rooms feature large windows that allow for a significant amount of natural light. Due to the position at the front, the living room offers a view of the water, specifically the Palmgracht and the Lijnbaansgracht. This view is unobstructed, contributing to the atmosphere of the space. The living room is connected to a kitchen. The kitchen is described as modern and is part of the renovations done in 2026. It is equipped with a marble countertop and includes various built-in appliances. The presence of built-in appliances suggests a ready to use cooking space.
The rear of the apartment contains the two bedrooms. This location at the back is described as quiet. The master bedroom is described as spacious. It has direct access to the balcony. The balcony faces south, which means it receives sunlight throughout the day. The balcony overlooks the communal garden, which is described as green and beautifully landscaped. The second bedroom is smaller than the master bedroom. The listing suggests this room can serve multiple purposes, such as a home office, a guest room, or a child's room. This adds flexibility to the layout. The bathroom is also located in this part of the apartment. It was renovated in 2026 and includes a walk in shower and a washbasin. There is a separate toilet in the apartment, which is distinct from the bathroom.
In addition to the living space on the second floor, there is a private storage unit. This storage unit is located on the ground floor of the building. It has an area of 4.1 square meters. This external storage provides space for items that do not need to be kept inside the apartment itself.
The building dates back to 1977 and is classified as existing construction. It is located in a protected city or village view, which means the exterior appearance is subject to regulations to preserve the historical character of the area. The building has an active Owners Association, known in Dutch as a VvE. The VvE is professionally managed. There is a Multi Year Maintenance Plan, or MJOP, in place. This indicates that the association plans for future maintenance expenses. The monthly service costs for the VvE are 199.30 euros. These costs cover the management and maintenance of the communal areas and the building exterior.
The property is situated on leasehold ground, known in Dutch as erfpacht. The ground is owned by the municipality of Amsterdam. The listing states that the leasehold has been converted into perpetual leasehold under favorable conditions. This means the lease has been paid off for an infinite period, or the terms have been set favorably for the owner. However, there is an annual canon that must be paid. This annual amount is 1515.87 euros. This amount is subject to indexation once a year, meaning it can increase with inflation. There is also an option to buy off the canon, though the listing implies the perpetual situation is already arranged favorably.
The apartment has an energy label B. This rating indicates that the property is relatively energy efficient compared to older buildings. The windows feature double glazing, which contributes to insulation. The heating and hot water are provided by a central heating boiler, or CV ketel. This boiler is a gas fired combi boiler from 2021. The boiler is owned by the property, meaning there is no rental contract for the heating system.
The surrounding area is the Jordaan, a neighborhood in Amsterdam. The Palmgracht is specifically described as a quiet street within this neighborhood. The Jordaan is known for its canals and historic charm. Despite the quiet location of the street, the immediate vicinity offers various amenities. Several markets are nearby, including the Westermarkt, Noordermarkt, and Lindenmarkt. The Westerkerk is also close by. Shopping streets such as the Haarlemmerstraat and the Nine Streets area are located around the corner. These areas offer shops, cafes, and restaurants. Daily groceries can be obtained in the Haarlemmerstraat. For recreation, Westerpark is within easy reach by foot or bicycle.
The location is well connected to public transportation. Tram and bus stops are within walking distance. Central Station can be reached by bicycle in approximately five minutes. The A10 ring road, which circles the city, can be reached in about ten minutes by bicycle or car. Parking in the area is managed through a permit system. There is no private parking associated with the property. Parking is available on public roads or in paid parking areas, subject to the availability of permits.
The listing includes standard legal disclaimers. It states that the information has been compiled with care but that no liability is accepted for inaccuracies. All dimensions are indicative. The buyer has a duty of investigation to verify details that are important to them. The real estate agent acts as an advisor to the seller. Potential buyers are advised to hire their own agent, specifically an NVM agent, to assist with the purchase process.
