Key Features
Description
Situated in the desirable and upscale neighborhood of Oud-Zuid in Amsterdam, this apartment is located on the Pieter de Hoochstraat within the Johannes Vermeerbuurt. This particular location is highly sought after for its unique combination of tranquility and central urban living. The property is positioned on a quiet and elegant street, yet it remains surrounded by all the amenities and cultural facets that Amsterdam has to offer. The listing presents a three room apartment with a total living area of 81 square meters, measured in accordance with the NEN2580 standard. The home offers space for two bedrooms and features a fantastic west facing rooftop terrace.
The access to the apartment is via a shared staircase. Upon entering the building on the second floor, residents take the stairs up to the third floor where the main living quarters are situated. One of the defining characteristics of the entire apartment is the high ceiling height and the abundance of natural daylight that floods in through the large window openings. This architectural feature ensures that the living spaces feel open, airy, and welcoming throughout the day. The floor finish throughout the entire residence is a beautiful oak herringbone parquet floor, which adds a sense of warmth and classic elegance to the interior design.
The living room is designed with an open plan configuration that integrates seamlessly with the kitchen space. This living area features French doors that open directly onto the rooftop terrace. The terrace is a significant asset to the property, covering approximately 25 square meters. Because the terrace is located on the west side, residents can enjoy the sun there throughout the day and into the evening. Furthermore, due to the height of the terrace, it offers a wide and unobstructed view over the city. Notably, the view includes iconic landmarks such as the Rijksmuseum and the Van Gogh Museum, providing a scenic and cultured backdrop to the outdoor living experience.
The kitchen is fully equipped to cater to modern culinary needs. It includes a four burner induction cooktop complete with an extractor hood to remove cooking odors. For baking and roasting, there is an oven installed. The kitchen also features a large refrigerator which includes a separate freezer compartment, ensuring ample storage for fresh and frozen goods. Additionally, the kitchen is fitted with a dishwasher for convenience after meals. There is also a significant amount of workspace and storage room available, making the kitchen practical for daily use.
The sleeping quarters are situated at the front of the apartment. There are two well proportioned bedrooms. One of these bedrooms benefits from a large walk in closet, providing valuable storage space for clothing and personal items, effectively acting as a dressing room. The bathroom is designed with functionality and comfort in mind, featuring a double shower unit. This allows for two people to shower simultaneously, which is convenient for busy mornings. The bathroom also contains a sink with a vanity unit. There is a separate storage room within the apartment that houses the connections for a washing machine and a dryer, keeping laundry appliances out of the main living areas. The toilet is separate from the bathroom and includes a small sink or fountain.
The location of the property is described as being in a very quiet street next to the green Museumplein. This places the residence within walking distance of the city center. The area is rich in amenities, with various shops, excellent restaurants, and cafes nearby. Cultural hotspots such as the Concertgebouw and the different museums located on the Museumplein are all within easy walking distance. Despite the peaceful nature of the street, the accessibility is excellent. Several trams and buses run from the nearby Van Baerlestraat and Johannes Vermeerstraat. Because of this central location, the city center can also be reached easily by walking or cycling.
In terms of technical specifications and ownership details, the property is classified as an existing build upper floor apartment with a construction year of 1913. However, the apartment has been fully renovated in 2018, ensuring that the interior and systems are up to modern standards. The heating and hot water are provided by a gas fired combination boiler that dates from 2018 and is owned by the property. A notable aspect of the ownership is the ground lease situation. The home is situated on leasehold land owned by the Municipality of Amsterdam. The current owner has already made the transition to perpetual leasehold. The annual canon, or ground rent, is fixed. Starting from April 30, 2029, the canon amount is 4227.03 euros plus inflation.
For the monthly costs associated with the building, the service charges for the Homeowners Association are 100 euros per month. The VvE is active with a registration at the Chamber of Commerce, holds annual meetings, has a periodic contribution, possesses a reserve fund, and has building insurance. The property is delivered in consultation. The listing notes that the information has been compiled with care, but buyers have their own obligation to investigate all matters that are of importance to them. While no energy label is currently listed in the details, the renovation in 2018 and the presence of a modern boiler suggest attention to energy efficiency. This apartment represents a opportunity to live in a prime location in Amsterdam with modern finishes and exceptional outdoor space.
