Spacious and bright apartment with lift and stunning IJmeer views

This apartment is located on Talbotstraat 221 in the Joris Ivenspleinbuurt neighborhood of Amsterdam, specifically on the Haveneiland area of IJburg. The property is situated on the third floor of a well maintained building complex that features an elevator, making it easily accessible for residents. The apartment offers approximately 90 square meters of living space spread across a single floor level.

The living room is notably bright thanks to the large window sections that allow natural light to enter the space abundantly. These windows are tilt and turn type, which means they can be opened wide during pleasant weather to allow fresh air circulation throughout the apartment. The living area connects to an open plan kitchen that is equipped with various modern built in appliances, creating a functional space for cooking and dining.

The apartment contains two spacious bedrooms located at the rear of the property. These rooms provide flexibility for different living arrangements, whether the future owner wishes to use one as a guest room, a home office, or a children's bedroom. The dimensions of the bedrooms are described as generous, making them suitable for various furniture arrangements.

The bathroom has been modernized and includes a bathtub, a walk in shower, and a washbasin. Additionally, there is a separate toilet room, which adds convenience for daily use. A practical internal storage room is available within the apartment, housing the connections for the washing machine and dryer as well as the mechanical ventilation system. This setup keeps laundry appliances out of sight while maintaining easy access.

Residents also have access to a separate storage unit in the basement of the building, which is useful for storing suitcases, seasonal items, and other belongings that do not need to be kept in the main living area.

One of the notable features of this apartment is the view it offers. The windows face towards the IJmeer, providing views of the water, Vuurtoreneiland, and in the distance, the distinctive white houses of Durgerdam. On the gallery side, the outlook is towards a communal garden, and from there, residents can also see the communal jetty along the Polygoongracht.

The building includes a communal jetty that is exclusively available to residents of block 14. During summer months, this area serves as a pleasant spot for swimming, sunbathing, or mooring a small boat. Access to the jetty is through the main communal hall on the ground floor.

The Haveneiland area where this apartment is located is characterized as a peaceful and family friendly neighborhood. The vicinity offers a range of amenities including multiple schools, childcare facilities, and healthcare centers. A shopping center is nearby with a large Albert Heijn supermarket, HEMA store, various artisanal food shops, and a Saturday market. The area also features restaurants, cafes, and a small theater, providing options for dining and entertainment.

For outdoor activities and recreation, the nearby Diemerpark is a nature area comparable in size to the Vondelpark in Amsterdam. The park includes a beach, a football and hockey club, and tennis courts on Rieteiland Oost. The IJburg area has a maritime character with navigable canals, a harbor, and an active water sports association.

Transportation options are well developed. Tram line 26 connects to Amsterdam Central Station with a travel time of approximately 18 minutes. Bus line 66 provides service to the Amsterdam Arena area. The A10 motorway is accessible via the S114 exit. On weekdays, a ferry operates every 20 minutes between Zeeburgereiland and the Oostelijk Havengebied.

The apartment benefits from district heating for both heating and hot water, meaning there is no gas connection. This contributes to the energy efficiency of the property, which has been awarded an energy label A. The building was constructed in 2006 and has a flat roof covered with bituminous roofing material.

The Homeowners Association (VvE) is described as healthy and active. There appears to be a discrepancy in the listing regarding the monthly service costs, with one section stating 198.92 euros per month and another stating 184 euros per month. The VvE is registered with the Chamber of Commerce, holds annual meetings, has a reserve fund in place, maintains an maintenance plan, and has building insurance.

The property is subject to a perpetual ground lease (erfpacht). The ground lease has been paid off until August 31, 2055. After this date, the new owner will need to address the continuation of the ground lease payments.

Parking in the area is available through paid public parking and regular public parking spaces. The building has a total volume of 286 cubic meters, and the external storage space measures 7 square meters.

The asking price for this apartment is 525,000 euros, with the costs payable by the purchaser (kosten koper). The delivery date is to be determined through consultation between buyer and seller. The property is currently available on the market.
