Sunny levensloopbestendig apartment with balcony in senior-friendly complex

This well-maintained 3-room apartment of approximately 94 square meters is located on the second floor of a purpose-built complex in the Zijdelwaard district of Uithoorn. The property was constructed in 2005 and has an A-plus energy label, reflecting its strong energy performance and relatively low ongoing utility costs for the benefit of its residents. The complex was designed with accessibility as a guiding principle, offering step-free movement throughout the building and inside the apartment. Doorways are sufficiently wide to accommodate both wheelchairs and rollators, making this apartment particularly suitable for senior living or anyone who values a home that can adapt to changing physical needs over time. The building features a lift, ensuring easy access between floors without the need to use stairs.

Upon entering the apartment through the spacious hallway, you are greeted by a practical entrance area with coat storage and a videophone system for visitor entry. From the hallway, all rooms of the apartment are directly accessible. The hall also includes a separate toilet, a meter cupboard housing the gas, water and electricity connections as well as KPN and fibre optic internet connections, a storage room with space for a washing machine, and a second, larger bedroom.

The largest of the two bedrooms is a generous double room finished with carpet flooring. The second bedroom is smaller in size and is particularly suitable as a single-person bedroom or guest room, comfortably accommodating two single beds. Both bedrooms are positioned to receive natural light throughout the day.

The bathroom is comfortably sized and fully equipped. It includes a spacious walk-in shower, a toilet, a vanity unit with a sink, a mirror and mechanical ventilation to ensure effective air circulation in this humid room. There is a second, separate toilet located in the hallway, finished with a wall-mounted toilet and a small handbasin for added convenience.

The living room is a bright and spacious reception room, featuring a door that opens onto the south-west facing balcony. This orientation ensures that the balcony and the living room receive sunlight during the afternoon and early evening hours, creating an ideal spot for relaxation or outdoor dining in the warmer months. Adjacent to the living room sits an open kitchen, fitted with a hob, an oven, a stainless steel extractor hood, a sink, a dishwasher and a combined fridge-freezer unit. The kitchen also features a practical pantry cabinet for additional storage.

The separate utility and storage room houses the Intergas combination boiler, which was replaced in 2024 and is owned by the apartment owner, a mechanical ventilation unit and the washing machine connection. The boiler replacement in 2024 means the heating system is modern and efficient.

The apartment comes with a private storage unit located on the ground floor, providing useful extra storage space for items such as seasonal equipment or luggage. In addition, residents have access to a shared atrium area at the ground floor level, which contains the entrance doors to the ground-floor apartments, additional storage lockers, a designated area for mobility scooters and a shared space that can be used for social activities. The complex further includes dedicated recreational rooms equipped with sports facilities such as table tennis, home trainers, a treadmill, a rowing machine and other gym equipment. There is also a pool table room, which can be enjoyed by residents and their grandchildren alike.

Parking is available on the private car park adjacent to the building. Residents who own a car can request a fixed parking space through the owners association. The car park is jointly owned by the VvE, the active homeowners association that manages the building. Monthly service charges amount to 326.79 euros, which includes a 15-euro advance payment for water. The VvE is registered with the Chamber of Commerce, holds annual meetings, maintains a reserve fund, has a long-term maintenance plan in place and carries building insurance.

The Potgieterhof is situated in the green and spacious Zijdelwaard neighbourhood, which offers a wide range of facilities within a short walking distance. The nearby Zijdelwaard shopping centre provides for daily shopping needs. The picturesque Oude Dorp along the River Amstel is approximately a five-minute bicycle ride away and offers a pleasant historic setting with cafes and restaurants. Uithoorn is well connected to Amstelveen, Amsterdam, Schiphol Airport and Utrecht by road and public transport.

Since the opening of the fast tram line 25, Uithoorn-Centrum is linked directly to Station Zuid in Amsterdam, making city access straightforward for commuters and leisure travellers. An extension of the tram line to Muiderpoort is planned, which will further expand the network with connections to other tram lines in Amsterdam, including an interchange with the North-South line.

The building entrance features an intercom panel and letterboxes in the enclosed entrance hall. The lift, staircase and access to the atrium are all reached from the enclosed hall. The apartment itself is largely finished with laminate flooring, and the master bedroom is carpeted.

This apartment is offered with full ownership and is suitable for buyers aged 65 years or older, or those with a municipal housing or care indication. Completion of the sale can take place in consultation and potentially on a short-term basis. The asking price reflects the quality of the property, its accessibility features, the recent boiler replacement, the A-plus energy performance, the private storage and parking arrangement, and the strong public transport connections to Amsterdam.
