The separate toilet has also been renovated in 2020, maintaining the contemporary style found throughout the property.
The spacious bedroom is located at the front of the apartment, benefiting from favorable sunlight exposure from late afternoon onwards. This room is finished to a high standard, providing a peaceful retreat for rest and relaxation.
One of the standout features of this property is the generous 13 square meter roof terrace facing east.

The location of this apartment is truly exceptional. Situated above a Jumbo supermarket, daily grocery shopping is incredibly convenient. The property is on the edge of the Reigersbos shopping center, with a metro station nearby, ensuring excellent connectivity to the rest of Amsterdam.

The property benefits from good access to the A1, A2, and A9 national highways, facilitating easy travel by car.
The area is currently undergoing significant positive development, with the Municipality of Amsterdam investing in the modernization of the shopping center, creation of a new green station square, and development of lively public spaces with restaurants and cafes. Hundreds of sustainable homes are being added to the neighborhood, and smart parking solutions are being implemented, enhancing the appeal and value of the area.
The apartment is part of an active and professional Owners Association (VVE) that is currently making decisions regarding insulation and sustainability improvements, including the replacement of window frames. These initiatives will further improve the energy efficiency of the building, potentially increasing the property value and reducing energy costs for residents.
The service costs for the VVE amount to €186.85 per month, which covers the maintenance and management of the common areas. The central heating boiler, a Remeha from 2013, is owned and regularly maintained through a service contract with Breman, ensuring reliable and efficient heating.
Regarding the ground lease situation, the canon has been paid off until June 15, 2032. The transition to perpetual leasehold has already been completed under favorable conditions in 2021, with the fee fixed. From June 16, 2032, the annual ground rent will be €101.38, excluding inflation from 2016, with annual indexation applied.
The apartment is available for immediate occupancy, with the option for it to be delivered furnished, allowing for a hassle-free move. This presents an excellent opportunity for those seeking a turnkey solution in a well-connected and developing area of Amsterdam.
