Description
This charming apartment is situated on the second floor of a characteristic building on Parnassusweg in the desirable Amsterdam Oud-Zuid district. The property offers a generous living area of 106 square meters, making it a spacious home that combines the authentic character of a historic building with modern comforts. The apartment was renovated in 2015 and has been well maintained since then.
The entrance to the apartment is reached via a well-kept communal staircase. Upon entering, you are welcomed by a hallway that provides access to all rooms in the property. This practical layout ensures efficient use of the available space and creates a natural flow throughout the apartment.
At the front of the property, you will find the spacious open-plan kitchen combined with an en-suite living room. This generous area benefits from a bay window and large window frames that allow abundant natural light to enter, creating a bright and airy atmosphere. The kitchen area is sufficiently sized to comfortably prepare elaborate meals, while the adjacent living space offers ample room for dining with friends or simply relaxing in the evening. The en-suite doors between the kitchen and living areas can be opened or closed depending on your preference, offering flexibility in how you use this substantial living space.
The apartment contains two spacious bedrooms. The principal bedroom is located at the rear of the property, which is the quieter side, and provides direct access to the balcony. From here, you can enjoy a surprisingly green view that creates a peaceful atmosphere in the middle of the bustling city. The second bedroom is also generously proportioned and features two French balconies. This room offers versatility and could serve as a second bedroom, a home office, or a guest room, depending on your personal needs and lifestyle.
A notable feature of this apartment is the separate laundry room. This practical space allows you to place the washing machine, dryer, and additional storage out of sight, keeping the main living areas clean and organized. Such a dedicated utility room is relatively rare in apartments from this building period and represents a significant practical advantage.
The modern bathroom is equipped with a bathtub, a separate walk-in shower, and a double washbasin. Additionally, there is a separate toilet room, which adds to the convenience and functionality of the layout. These facilities were updated during the 2015 renovation and provide all the expected modern comforts.
The location of this property is genuinely excellent. Parnassusweg is situated in the heart of Amsterdam Oud-Zuid, within walking distance of the Olympiaplein, the fashionable Beethovenstraat, the Zuidas business district, and the green oasis of Beatrixpark. The neighborhood offers a wide range of amenities for daily living, including several supermarkets within easy reach.
For dining and socializing, the area provides an abundance of options. You can pick up fresh bread and croissants at Le Fournil in the morning, enjoy a leisurely lunch at Olympiaplein, or have dinner at Spaghetteria. The charming terraces, shops, and cafes along Beethovenstraat, Stadionweg, and Cornelis Schuytstraat are all within comfortable walking distance, offering a vibrant urban lifestyle.
For those who enjoy outdoor activities, Beatrixpark, the Amsterdamse Bos, and various sports clubs are located nearby. The accessibility of the location is outstanding, with Station Zuid, multiple tram and bus connections, and quick access to the A10 ring road all within close proximity.
The apartment is part of an active and financially healthy Homeowners Association consisting of 24 members. The VvE is professionally managed by Rappange and has a long-term maintenance plan in place, which provides assurance regarding the future upkeep of the building. The monthly service charges amount to 216.69 euros, with an additional advance payment of 135 euros per month for heating costs, as the building uses block heating.
The property is classified as a municipal monument and is located within a protected cityscape. The current ground lease period runs until March 31, 2055, and an application for conversion to perpetual leasehold has been submitted. The annual ground lease payment is 1,529.45 euros. The energy label is E, and the windows feature double glazing and partially double glazing.
The transfer date can be arranged in consultation and can be organized at short notice if required. A NEN2580 measurement report is available, confirming the living area of 106 square meters. The building dates from 1913 according to the monument status, though the construction year is listed as 1931 in the property features, with the apartment rights having been established in 2003.
