- Access to the second bedroom on the fourth floor requires navigating a fixed staircase within the apartment, which may not be suitable for everyone.
- Parking is only available via a permit system or paid parking on the public road, which can be inconvenient and costly in this area of Amsterdam.

Upon arrival at the building, access is gained via a spacious communal staircase leading to the third floor. The entrance hall provides access to the various rooms of the apartment. To the right, there is a separate toilet room featuring a washbasin, adding to the convenience of the layout.
At the rear of the apartment lies the first spacious bedroom. This room is generously sized and offers ample space for a large wardrobe wall. It also provides direct access to the balcony, where one can enjoy the evening sun. The balcony overlooks the green inner gardens and lower buildings at the rear, providing a peaceful and private outdoor space.
The bathroom is centrally located in the home and is equipped with a washbasin and a shower. The placement ensures easy access from both the living areas and the bedrooms.
The living room is situated at the front of the apartment on the third floor. This area is bright and sunny due to the windows at the front and rear of the property, which ensure an abundance of natural light throughout the day. The living room features a practical niche that is ideally suited for use as a home office workspace. Adjacent to the living room is the semi open kitchen. The kitchen layout promotes social interaction while cooking or dining. Additionally, there is a separate storage cupboard in this area that houses the connections for a washing machine and dryer, keeping the main living areas tidy.

A fixed staircase leads from the living area to the fourth floor, which houses the second bedroom. This upper room is versatile and currently offers a view over the Stadionweg. It is excellently suited for use as a home office, guest room, or a second bedroom. The split level nature of the apartment provides a nice separation between the sleeping and living areas, enhancing the sense of space and privacy.
The apartment is located within a protected cityscape area, retaining the historical charm of the 1930s architecture. The building itself is a mix of existing construction with specific features such as a composite roof covered with bitumen roofing and tiles. Despite its age, the apartment is modern in terms of comfort and efficiency.
In terms of technical specifications, the apartment is in good condition. It was fully renovated in 2020 and is fitted with double glazing throughout.

The property has an Energy Label C, reflecting reasonable energy efficiency for a building of this age. Roof insulation is present to contribute to energy conservation.
A significant financial benefit is the ground lease situation. The property is situated on leasehold land where the perpetual leasehold has been bought off in full. This means there are no periodic leasehold payments to worry about, which is a major advantage in Amsterdam.
The active Owners Association, or VvE, is professionally managed. The monthly service charge is approximately 179 euros. The VvE is registered with the Chamber of Commerce, holds annual meetings, and has a maintenance plan and reserve fund in place. Building insurance is also arranged by the VvE. These factors indicate a well managed and financially healthy association.
Parking is available on the public road through a permit system or paid parking. The foundation risk code is 306-3, which indicates that the risk is not elevated, classified as category A, B, or C. This provides peace of mind regarding the structural integrity of the building.
The sale includes several legal clauses that are standard in the Dutch market. An age clause applies due to the construction year of 1930. A non owner occupancy clause is included, and the property is sold as is, where is. The seller reserves the right of award. The buyer has the choice of notary, provided it is in Amsterdam and the purchase agreement conforms to the Amsterdam Ring Model.
In summary, this apartment offers a bright and efficiently laid out living space with a spacious main bedroom, an additional room on the upper floor, and a generous balcony. The combination of the recent renovation, the bought off ground lease, and the prime location in the Stadionbuurt makes this a highly attractive property for those looking to live in Amsterdam South.
The surrounding area provides a perfect balance of urban liveliness and residential tranquility. Within a ten minute bike ride, one can reach the bustling Leidseplein or the vibrant De Pijp neighborhood. This central location ensures that all the cultural and entertainment highlights of Amsterdam are within easy reach.
The practical layout, with the separation of the second bedroom on the fourth floor, allows for flexible living arrangements. Whether one needs a dedicated workspace in the upper room or an extra bedroom for guests, the home adapts to various needs. The presence of a separate storage cupboard for laundry appliances is a practical feature that maximizes the utility of the living space.
Given the renovation in 2020, the apartment feels fresh and modern while retaining its character. The double glazing and roof insulation contribute to a comfortable indoor climate year round. The recent installation of the central heating boiler ensures reliable heating and hot water for the foreseeable future.
Living in the Stadionbuurt means being part of a dynamic community. The nearby Stadionplein offers a range of facilities, and the connection to the rest of the city is superb. Whether commuting by train from Zuid station or cycling to the city center, the travel times are short and convenient.
