Key Features
Description
This ground floor apartment is situated in the heart of De Pijp, one of the most sought after neighborhoods in Amsterdam South. The property has a total living area of 37 square meters and features one bedroom. The apartment is located on own ground, meaning there is no leasehold to consider, which is an important financial consideration for buyers in Amsterdam.
The property was originally built in 1877, which gives it the characteristic Amsterdam feel that many buyers appreciate. A significant improvement was made in 2012 when the foundation was completely renewed. Foundation issues are a common concern with older buildings in Amsterdam, and having this work already completed provides peace of mind to prospective buyers. The current owner has maintained the property well, and it has been finished with a clean and modern aesthetic throughout.
Upon entering the apartment through the front entrance, you arrive in a compact hallway that leads directly to the living room. The living room serves as the central space of the home and receives pleasant natural light through windows on the street side. There is sufficient space to create both a seating area and a dining area, making practical use of the available square meters. The open connection between the living room and the kitchen contributes to a sense of spaciousness despite the modest total area.
The kitchen is arranged in a practical L shape, providing adequate workspace and storage capacity. The open plan layout allows for easy interaction between cooking and socializing, which is a popular feature in modern urban living spaces. The kitchen layout has been designed to maximize functionality within the available space.
Located at the rear of the property is the bedroom, measuring approximately 8.3 square meters. This room features sliding doors that provide direct access to the garden. The bedroom receives afternoon sun through these doors, and the connection to the outdoor space makes this room feel larger than its actual measurements might suggest. Having direct garden access from the bedroom is a particularly appealing feature for a ground floor apartment.
The bathroom is centrally positioned within the apartment and measures approximately 3.6 square meters. It is equipped with a shower, a toilet, and a washbasin. The compact but functional layout makes efficient use of the available space. Additionally, there is a separate storage closet that can be used for extra storage and also houses the technical installations of the property.
The garden at the rear of the property measures 4 square meters with dimensions of 2 meters deep and 2 meters wide. While modest in size, it faces southwest, which means it catches the afternoon and evening sun. This outdoor space provides a pleasant area to sit outside, enjoy fresh air, or tend to some potted plants. Having any private outdoor space is considered valuable in densely populated urban areas like De Pijp.
The property has an energy label E. Insulation features include roof insulation, HR glass (high efficiency double glazing), wall insulation, and floor insulation. Heating and hot water are provided by a gas fired combi boiler that is owned by the current owner, so there is no need to take over a boiler rental contract. These insulation measures help improve the energy efficiency of this older building.
The apartment is part of an active and financially healthy Homeowners Association consisting of 4 members. The management is handled by the residents themselves, which helps keep costs reasonable. The monthly service costs are 125 euros. The VVE has a reserve fund in place, a maintenance plan, and building insurance. The exterior paintwork has recently been completed. A NEN 2580 measurement report is available, which provides standardized measurements of the property.
The location of this property is one of its strongest features. De Pijp is known for its vibrant atmosphere, diverse range of restaurants and cafes, and unique boutique shops. The famous Albert Cuyp market is within walking distance, offering fresh produce, clothing, and various other goods. Sarphatipark, a popular green space for walking and relaxing, is also nearby. For daily grocery shopping, there are multiple supermarkets in the immediate vicinity, including an Albert Heijn and a Jumbo, as well as specialty shops such as a bakery, an organic store, and a wine merchant.
Public transportation options are excellent. The North South metro line station is less than a 5 minute walk away, providing quick connections to various parts of Amsterdam. Multiple bus and tram stops are also located nearby. RAI station and Zuid WTC station are easily accessible. By bicycle, the center of Amsterdam can be reached in about ten minutes. For those who travel by car, the A10 ring road is easily accessible via the RAI exit. Schiphol Airport can be reached within approximately 15 minutes, making this location convenient for regular air travelers.
Parking in the area is regulated through paid parking and permit systems. Buyers should factor in parking costs if they own a vehicle. The delivery date is negotiable and can be arranged quickly if desired. It is important to note that a non self occupation clause applies to this property, which means the buyer cannot be required to move into the property themselves. This is relevant information for investors considering this property.
All measurements and surface areas mentioned are indicative and based on the NVM measurement instruction. This measurement method aims to provide a more uniform way of measuring to give an indication of the usable surface area. However, the measurement instruction does not completely exclude differences in measurement results due to interpretation differences, rounding, or limitations when performing the measurement. Buyers have their own duty to investigate all matters that are important to them. The general consumer conditions of the NVM apply to this transaction.
