Spacious 3-Bedroom Apartment with Two Balconies in Spaarndammerbuurt
Key Features
Description
This well-appointed apartment is situated at Suikerplein 65 in the sought-after Spaarndammerbuurt-Noordoost area of Amsterdam. Listed at €729,000 kosten koper, the property offers 95 square meters of comfortable living space with three bedrooms and two balconies.
The Spaarndammerbuurt is a family-friendly, vibrant, and charming neighborhood with a rich history, renowned for its beautiful Amsterdam School architecture and inviting streets. The area provides a perfect balance between tranquility and urban life. The green Westerpark is within walking distance, offering opportunities for relaxation, sports, and cultural events. The neighborhood features several primary schools, childcare centers, and playgrounds where children can play safely.
For daily shopping, residents can visit the nearby Spaarndammerstraat, which hosts a Jumbo and Albert Heijn supermarket alongside specialty shops. The area also offers a selection of pleasant bars and restaurants, including Café de Walvis, Moos, and Rayleigh & Ramsay. The beautiful Westerpark is just a five-minute walk away, where residents can enjoy green spaces, events, and trendy restaurants for a bite or drink.
The location offers excellent connectivity. A ferry provides quick access to the NDSM-wharf in Amsterdam-Noord, while the Jordaan and Haarlemmerdijk with their extensive shopping and entertainment options are easily reachable by bicycle. Amsterdam Central Station is a ten-minute bike ride away, and various public transport connections are located around the corner. The A10-west ring road is accessible via exits S101 or S102. Parking is available through a municipal parking permit or paid hourly parking on public roads. According to the Amsterdam municipality website, the current waiting time for a permit is eight months. Electric vehicle owners face no waiting period, and a public charging station is located directly in front of the building.
Upon entering through the well-maintained, secured entrance, residents access this bright and surprisingly spacious second-floor apartment. The generous hallway serves as the central heart of the home, providing access to virtually all rooms. Here you will find the neat bathroom with a spacious shower, sink, and a practical cabinet with a washing machine connection. There is also a separate toilet and two well-proportioned bedrooms with unobstructed views of the Suikerplein.
The atmospheric living room features large windows and provides access to a deep balcony, a wonderful spot to start the day. The living room offers ample space for a comfortable seating area and a substantial dining table. Thanks to the favorable natural light, the space feels particularly roomy and pleasant.
From the living room, you can access both the master bedroom and the spacious dining kitchen. The kitchen is practically arranged in a light color scheme and provides more than enough space for a second dining table, ideal for cozy evenings with friends and family. The kitchen is equipped with new built-in appliances and includes a practical indoor storage room with a washing machine connection.
From the kitchen, you reach the second balcony, situated on the west side, where you can enjoy the afternoon and evening sun with views of the well-maintained green inner courtyard.
The apartment features three full-sized bedrooms. Two rooms are located at the front with views of the Suikerplein, while the third bedroom borders the quiet inner courtyard. The latter room is generously proportioned. With a relatively simple modification, the kitchen could be relocated to this room, allowing the wall between the living room and bedroom to be removed to create an open kitchen and living area. The current kitchen space could serve excellently as a master bedroom.
The apartment is neatly finished with all walls and ceilings plastered. Throughout the home, a high-quality PVC floor with a natural wood look has been installed. Both the bathroom and toilet were refreshed in 2018. The central heating boiler was also replaced in 2018 and receives annual maintenance. The electrical system has been modernized and expanded to accommodate an additional washing machine connection.
In the substructure of the building, there is a spacious, practical storage unit ideal for bicycles and additional storage.
The apartment is part of a healthy, active, and professionally managed Owners Association (Vereniging van Eigenaren), consisting of 53 apartments and storage units. A current multi-year maintenance plan is in place, and substantial reserves are available. The monthly service charges amount to €224.
As an important benefit, the seller has recently bought off the ground lease perpetually, meaning the new owner will never pay ground lease fees again.
The property was built in 1988 with a concrete foundation. It holds an A energy label, indicating excellent energy efficiency with full insulation. The building features a flat roof covered with bituminous roofing material. The total volume of the apartment is 298 cubic meters. Building-related outdoor space totals 11 square meters, and external storage space measures 5 square meters.
The property includes mechanical ventilation, natural ventilation, and TV cable connections. The central heating system is a Remeha Tzerra gas-fired combination boiler from 2018, which is owned by the apartment owner.
The property is listed on the cadastral map under AMSTERDAM X 2183. The ownership situation is municipal property encumbered with ground lease, which has been bought off in perpetuity.
The VvE meets all checklist requirements: registered with the Chamber of Commerce, holds annual meetings, has a reserve fund, maintenance plan, and building insurance. There is no periodic special assessment currently in place.
Transfer of the property is negotiable, with a preference for early July.
