Description
This delightful and move-in ready apartment is situated in the peaceful and green neighborhood of Amsterdam Noord, specifically in the Banne Buiksloot area. The property offers a comfortable and spacious living environment spanning 89 square meters, making it an excellent choice for families or professionals seeking a balance between urban convenience and suburban tranquility. Upon entering the general entrance of the complex, residents have access to a communal hall which leads to the storage units and the residential floors. This apartment is located on the first floor of a well-maintained building originally constructed in 1977.
The layout of the home is logical and efficient, connecting all rooms seamlessly. The living room serves as the heart of the residence and is characterized by an abundance of natural light. Large windows allow sunlight to flood the space, creating a bright and inspiring atmosphere perfect for both relaxation and entertainment. The neutral finish of the walls and floors provides a versatile foundation, allowing new owners to furnish and decorate the space to their own taste with ease. Adjacent to the living area is a modern kitchen that is both smart and practical. It comes equipped with various built-in appliances, ensuring that daily cooking tasks are convenient and enjoyable.
One of the most significant advantages of this apartment is the generous amount of sleeping space it offers. There are three spacious bedrooms, providing ample freedom for various living arrangements. Whether you require a large master bedroom, a quiet home office, or a cozy room for children, the space is available to accommodate your needs. The master bedroom is particularly notable as it provides direct access to the balcony, allowing you to step outside for fresh air at any time. In addition to the bedrooms, the apartment features a separate toilet room fitted with a modern hanging toilet.
The bathroom was renovated in 2021 and presents itself in excellent condition. It is equipped with a shower and a vanity unit with column cabinets. To maximize the space in the bathroom, the washing machine connection has been thoughtfully relocated to a separate utility storage room. This extra storage room is highly practical, housing not only the washing machine and dryer but also an additional storage cupboard suitable for wardrobe items or general storage. This setup ensures that the bathroom remains clutter-free and functional.
The outdoor space of this property is a true highlight. The apartment features a balcony with an area of approximately 6 square meters, accessible from both the living room and the master bedroom. The balcony faces west, which means it catches the sun from the afternoon until the late evening. This makes it an ideal spot to enjoy a cup of coffee in the afternoon or a glass of wine after work while taking in the view. The outlook from the balcony is never dull, offering views over the greenery where the water of De Nieuwe Gouw flows. This connection to water and nature enhances the sense of peace and privacy in the home.
From a technical perspective, the apartment is future-proof and energy-efficient. It holds an energy label A, which is a testament to its good insulation standards including wall insulation, floor insulation, and HR+ glazing. Living here ensures comfort combined with low energy costs. The complex itself has also undergone significant improvements recently. The facade has been renovated, the windows have been replaced with plastic frames in 2021 and 2022, and the roof has been renewed and insulated. For additional storage needs, there is a private storage box of 4 square meters located in the basement of the building, perfect for storing bicycles or seasonal items.
The location in Banne Buiksloot offers a high quality of life. The neighborhood is known for its green and pleasant character, where one can walk directly into nature from the doorstep. Despite the quiet surroundings, the city is easily accessible. Within a 10-minute bike ride, you can reach the North-South line of the metro, connecting you quickly to the city center. For those who prefer public transport closer to home, a bus stops just 50 meters away, providing rapid connections to metro stations Noord or Noorderpark.
Daily amenities are within easy reach. For grocery shopping, the Banne Centrum shopping center is just a short walk or bike ride away. For a wider range of shops and amenities, areas such as the Van der Pekstraat, NDSM, Mosplein, and the large shopping center Boven t IJ are easily accessible by bike. The center of Amsterdam is also within hand's reach, whether by bike, car, or public transport, ensuring you are never far from the vibrant city life.
The surroundings are family-friendly, hosting diverse schools, playgrounds, sports complexes, and gyms. The street itself is characterized by a pleasant and cozy atmosphere with plenty of greenery and ample parking space. It is important to note that the property is located on leasehold ground from the Municipality of Amsterdam. The current canon has been paid off until July 1, 2052, providing financial security for a considerable period. The Homeowners Association (VvE) is professionally managed by VVE Beheer Amsterdam, is active at the Chamber of Commerce, holds annual meetings, and has a multi-year maintenance plan and a reserve fund. A building insurance policy is in place.
In summary, this apartment combines the tranquility of a green living environment with the dynamic energy of Amsterdam North. The property is in excellent condition, featuring light-filled rooms, a renovated bathroom, and a sunny balcony. It is a complete and ready-to-live-in home in a desirable part of the city.

Interior Comfort
Air Conditioning
The listing details the heating system ('Cv-ketel') and insulation but makes no mention of air conditioning. In Amsterdam's climate, AC is not a standard feature for apartments, and its absence, coupled with no description, strongly suggests it is not present.
Central Heating
The 'Kenmerken' (Features) section explicitly lists 'Verwarming Cv-ketel' (Heating: Central heating boiler) and 'Warm water Cv-ketel' (Hot water: Central heating boiler).
Fireplace
The description and features list make no mention of a fireplace, which is an uncommon feature in 1970s Dutch apartments. The heating is provided by a central boiler (Cv-ketel).
Underfloor Heating
The listing provides details on the heating system (Cv-ketel) and insulation but does not mention floor heating. In a renovated apartment from 1977, floor heating would be a significant selling point and would almost certainly be mentioned if present. Its absence from the description suggests it is not a feature.
Walk In Closet
The description mentions a 'master-bedroom' and an 'extra opbergruimte' with 'een praktische bergkast' (a practical storage closet). It does not explicitly describe a walk-in closet. The 'extra storage space' might function as one, but it's not definitively described as such.
Home Office
The text says 'Of je nu ... een rustige plek voor je thuiswerkplek ... zoekt; de ruimte is er' (Whether you ... seek a quiet place for your home office ... the space is there). This suggests the apartment is *suitable* for a home office, but it does not state that there is a dedicated, existing home office room.
Skylight
The listing describes the apartment as having 'grote raampartijen' (large window sections) and being 'licht' (light), but makes no mention of skylights. Being on the first floor of a multi-story building, skylights in the ceiling are not typical.
Exposed Beams
The apartment is in a 'verzorgd appartementencomplex' (well-maintained apartment complex) from 1977. Exposed beams are a feature of specific architectural styles (e.g., industrial, rustic) and are not characteristic of a typical Dutch apartment block from this era. The description does not mention them.
Bay Window
The text mentions 'grote raampartijen' (large windows) but does not describe a bay window. This architectural feature is uncommon for the type of building described, and its absence from the listing suggests it is not present.
Private Indoor Pool
A private indoor pool is an extremely rare and luxury feature, especially in an 89 m² apartment. The listing makes no mention of such a feature, which would be a primary selling point. It is definitively not present.
Private Indoor Sauna
Similar to the pool, a private indoor sauna is a significant luxury feature. The property description and list of amenities do not include a sauna. It is definitively not present.
Ornamental Plasterwork
The apartment is in a building from 1977 and is described as having a 'neutrale afwerking' (neutral finish). Ornamental plasterwork is not a feature of this type of construction and would be explicitly mentioned if present. The lack of any such description confirms its absence.
