Luxuriously Renovated 1930s Apartment with Studio in Rivierenbuurt
Key Features
Upsides
- The property has been fully renovated in 2023 with high-quality materials, HR++ glazing, and comprehensive insulation (floor and ceiling with Easycell) for comfort and energy efficiency, resulting in an energy label B and a move-in-ready condition.
- A key feature is the included 16 m² studio on the fourth floor, equipped with a kitchenette, bathroom, air conditioning, and a sleeping loft, providing versatile space for guests, work, or rental income with VvE permission.
- The location is highly desirable, situated in the protected cityscape of the Rivierenbuurt in Amsterdam-Zuid, with excellent amenities, schools, parks, and top-tier public transport connections within easy reach.
- The leasehold has been favorably managed, with the seller having already fixed the future canon from 2056 at 1,511 euros per year, plus inflation, providing long-term financial certainty.
Downsides
- The property is located on the first and fourth floors, with no elevator mentioned, which could be inconvenient for some residents when accessing the studio or carrying groceries and luggage.
- The studio on the fourth floor is officially registered as storage space, which means its use as a studio is based on current VvE permission and could theoretically be subject to change by the VvE in the future.
- Parking is not included with the property, and the listing indicates that only paid and public parking are available in the area, which can be expensive and challenging to find in central Amsterdam.
- The property is subject to leasehold (erfpacht), meaning it is not a freehold property, and although the future canon is fixed, the annual payment represents an ongoing long-term cost.
Description
This is a remarkable and fully renovated 1930s apartment that offers a unique living experience in the desirable Rivierenbuurt neighborhood of Amsterdam-Zuid. The property has a total living area of 117 square meters spread across two different floors, combining the charm of a historic building with modern, high-quality renovations completed in 2023. The main residence is located on the first floor and covers approximately 101 square meters. Additionally, the property includes a separate studio of approximately 16 square meters on the fourth floor, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a flexible layout or extra space for guests or work.
The main apartment on the first floor is accessible via the characteristic stone external staircase that is typical for this era. Behind the private front door, a spacious hallway provides access to all rooms. The bright and airy living room, which runs from the front to the back of the house, serves as the heart of the home. It features a luxurious open kitchen and offers direct access to a balcony at the rear. This living space is designed to be both comfortable and stylish, with a focus on natural light. The apartment contains three generous bedrooms, two of which are situated at the quiet rear and also provide access to a second balcony. The stylish bathroom is conveniently located in the center of the home.
A significant aspect of the 2023 renovation was the attention paid to living comfort and sustainability. The property is equipped with HR++ glazing throughout to improve energy efficiency. Both the floor and the ceiling have been fully insulated with high-quality Easycell heat and sound insulation. This ensures a pleasant indoor climate and contributes to a quieter and more peaceful living environment. The entire property is in excellent condition and truly move-in ready.
A special feature of this property is the cleverly designed studio located on the fourth floor. This space measures 16 square meters and includes a kitchenette and a bathroom. The sleeping loft is accessible via a design staircase. Although this space is officially registered as storage, the Homeowners Association has granted permission for its use as a studio. The renovation has already prepared this space for diverse uses. Water supply and drainage have been installed to facilitate the placement of a kitchen, with a kitchenette already present. A separate electricity group has been prepared for an induction hob, and a connection for an extractor fan is available. For added comfort, the studio is equipped with an energy-efficient boiler for hot water and a split air conditioning unit that provides both heating and cooling capabilities.
Adjacent to the studio, there is additional storage space, which is perfect for storing suitcases, seasonal decorations, sports equipment, or a bicycle. This practical addition enhances the functionality of the studio area.
The property is situated in a protected cityscape in the heart of the Rivierenbuurt. This location offers an excellent balance between urban convenience and a pleasant living environment. All necessary city amenities are within easy reach. A short walk takes you to the Maasstraat, known for its diverse shops, an Albert Heijn supermarket, fine restaurants, and cozy coffee shops. The area also offers convenient access to nurseries and primary schools. The nearby Beatrixpark provides a welcome green space for relaxation and recreation.
The property is exceptionally well connected to public transportation. The North-South line metro 52, tram lines 4 and 12, various buses, and the RAI railway station are all in the vicinity. Cycling is a popular and efficient way to get around, with the vibrant De Pijp neighborhood just a five-minute bike ride away. For those traveling by car, the A-10 and A-2 ring roads are accessible within two minutes, making it easy to leave the city.
The property has an energy label B, reflecting its sustainable features. The active Homeowners Association, which covers Rooseveltlaan 109 to 123, ensures the building is well maintained. The monthly service costs are 225 euros. The property has been measured in accordance with the NEN2580 standard.
The leasehold situation is also favorable. The current annual canon is 1,507 euros, which is tax-deductible. The seller has already used the advantageous option to fix the future canon from 2056. This fixed amount will be 1,511 euros per year, which will be increased annually based on inflation. This provides certainty and financial stability for the future.
In summary, this property offers a rare combination of a spacious, move-in-ready apartment in a prime location, complemented by a versatile studio space. The high-quality renovation, attention to detail, and excellent amenities make it a standout opportunity for anyone looking to live in Amsterdam-Zuid.
