Spacious 3-Bedroom Apartment in Green Buitenveldert Near Zuidas
Key Features
Upsides
- Three bedrooms in a 67 m² apartment represents an efficient use of space, providing flexibility for various household compositions including families, couples needing a home office, or professionals wanting a guest room.
- The location in Buitenveldert offers an excellent balance between peaceful residential living and proximity to the dynamic Zuidas business district, Amsterdam Zuid station, and the Amsterdamse Bos for recreation.
- Two parking permits are available for this address with no waiting list, which is a significant advantage in Amsterdam where parking permit waiting times can be lengthy in many areas.
- The west facing balcony receives afternoon and evening sun, making it an enjoyable outdoor space during the warmer months.
- The ground lease situation after 2036 has already been fixed to perpetual terms, removing uncertainty about future lease conditions even though the cost will increase.
Downsides
- The energy label D indicates relatively poor energy efficiency, which may result in higher energy costs and could require future investments to improve insulation or heating systems.
- The ground lease cost will increase significantly after 2036 from approximately 118 euros per year to over 1,800 euros per year, representing a substantial ongoing cost increase that buyers should factor into their calculations.
- The combination boiler dates from 2007, making it approximately 18 years old, which means it may need replacement in the near future.
- The apartment is located on the third floor with no mention of an elevator, which could be a concern for elderly residents or those with mobility issues who need to climb stairs regularly.
- The building dates from 1963, and while maintenance has been performed, older buildings often come with potential issues related to plumbing, electrical systems, or structural elements that newer properties do not have.
Description
This bright and efficiently laid out apartment is located in the green and peaceful neighborhood of Buitenveldert in Amsterdam. With a living area of 67 square meters measured according to the NEN 2580 standard, the property offers a practical and well thought out floor plan that makes optimal use of the available space. The apartment is situated on the third and top floor of a gallery flat building that was constructed in 1963.
Upon entering the apartment through the central entrance on the ground floor, residents climb the staircase to reach the top floor. The internal hallway provides access to all rooms in the property, including a separate toilet located conveniently near the entrance area. This central positioning of the hallway ensures that the layout flows logically and that all spaces are easily accessible without having to walk through other rooms.
The living room is a notably bright space thanks to the large windows that allow plenty of natural light to enter throughout the day. The room offers a comfortable living area with a direct connection to the kitchen, creating an open and connected feeling between these two essential living spaces. The kitchen is functionally designed and comes equipped with various built in appliances. These include a gas cooktop, a dishwasher, and a combination oven that also functions as a microwave. From the kitchen, residents have direct access to the west facing balcony.
One of the standout features of this apartment is the presence of three bedrooms, which is relatively uncommon for a property of this size. The two largest bedrooms are located at the front of the property, while the third bedroom is situated at the rear. This third bedroom has the added benefit of direct access to the balcony, allowing residents to step outside directly from their sleeping quarters. The balcony faces west, which means it receives sunlight during the afternoon and evening hours, making it an enjoyable spot to relax after work or during weekends. The view from the balcony is green and pleasant, overlooking the surrounding area.
The bathroom is accessible from the central hallway and is positioned in a convenient location relative to all three bedrooms. The bathroom is equipped with a shower and a washbasin. The separate toilet in the hallway ensures that the bathroom remains available for use even when someone is using the toilet facilities.
In the basement of the building, there is a private storage room measuring approximately 6 square meters. This additional space is valuable for storing bicycles, luggage, seasonal items, or other belongings that residents prefer not to keep inside the apartment itself.
The property features double glazing throughout, which helps with insulation and noise reduction. The energy label is rated D, which is typical for buildings from this era, though the double glazing represents an improvement over the original single glazed windows that would have been installed when the building was constructed. Heating and hot water are provided by a gas fired combination boiler that was installed in 2007 and is owned by the current owner, meaning it will transfer to the buyer as part of the sale.
The location of this apartment is one of its strongest attributes. Buitenveldert is known as a green and relatively quiet residential area that offers a relaxed living environment while still being close to the amenities and dynamism of the city. The Zuidas business district is within walking distance, making this an attractive option for professionals working in this major financial and business hub. The Amstelpark and the Amsterdamse Bos are also within walking distance, providing excellent opportunities for outdoor recreation, walking, cycling, and other leisure activities.
Daily shopping needs can be met at the nearby Gelderlandplein shopping center, which is just a few minutes walk from the apartment. This modern shopping center offers a wide range of shops, from daily groceries to more exclusive retail options. For a more extensive shopping experience, the Stadshart Amstelveen can be reached by car in approximately ten minutes.
The accessibility of this location is excellent. Amsterdam Zuid railway station is nearby, offering fast connections by train, metro, and tram to various parts of Amsterdam and beyond. The A2 and A10 highways are also easily accessible, making it convenient for those who travel by car to other parts of the region or the country.
According to the Municipality of Amsterdam, two parking permits are available for this address, and there is currently no waiting list for these permits. This is a notable advantage in Amsterdam where parking permits often come with long waiting periods in many neighborhoods.
The apartment is part of a large and professionally managed Homeowners Association. The monthly service charges amount to 144 euros. The VvE is properly organized with registration at the Chamber of Commerce, annual general meetings, periodic contributions, a reserve fund, a maintenance plan, and building insurance. In 2025, the exterior painting of the complex was completed and a new long term maintenance plan was established, indicating that the building is well maintained.
The property is located on municipal leasehold land, which is common in Amsterdam. The current annual ground rent is 117.52 euros and this rate applies until 2036. After 2036, the perpetual ground lease has already been fixed at 1,865.46 euros per year, subject to inflation adjustment. Having the perpetual ground lease already fixed provides certainty about future costs, although the significant increase from the current rate should be noted by potential buyers.
The apartment is available for transfer in consultation with the seller and can be delivered on short notice. This makes it suitable for buyers who are looking to move relatively quickly.
