Renovated Fourth-Floor Apartment with Rooftop Terrace in De Pijp

This apartment is located on Van Ostadestraat in the Willibrordusbuurt area of Amsterdam, situated within the highly sought-after De Pijp neighborhood. The property occupies the fourth floor of a building that was constructed around the year 1900, which is characteristic of the architectural style found throughout this part of the city. The apartment has a total living area of 45 square meters and contains one bedroom. The interior was completely renovated approximately two years ago, with the space being fully stripped back before being rebuilt with modern finishes and new installations throughout. This comprehensive renovation included the replacement of all electrical wiring, resulting in a meter box with 11 circuits. The plumbing was also completely renewed, and the bitumen roof covering was replaced at the same time. The living room serves as the central space of the apartment. It is described as a bright area with good natural light coming in through the windows. The room has an open layout that creates a relaxed atmosphere suitable for both daily living and entertaining guests. Adjacent to the living room is the kitchen, which features a cooking island as its central element. The kitchen is equipped with built-in appliances from AEG, including a combination steam and hot-air oven, a dishwasher, and a three-phase induction hob rated at 6 kilowatts. The extraction system is a downdraft type, which is integrated into the cooking island and helps maintain clean lines in the kitchen design. The bedroom is positioned to provide a quiet environment and has been laid out with storage solutions that help keep the space organized and free of clutter. From the bedroom, there is access to a balcony. The listing notes that the bedroom could easily be converted into two bedrooms, and refers to a floorplan for reference. The bathroom contains a bathtub with a skylight positioned directly above it. This skylight brings natural light into the bathroom and contributes to a sense of spaciousness. The bathroom also includes a separate toilet, which is noted in the property specifications. Additionally, there is a built-in laundry area with the necessary connections for both a washing machine and a dryer. One of the distinguishing features of this property is the outdoor space. In addition to the balcony adjacent to the bedroom, there is a rooftop terrace. The listing description indicates this terrace measures approximately 45 square meters, while the official property specifications list 38 square meters of building-bound outdoor space. The terrace is equipped with hot and cold water connections, which adds to its practicality for outdoor use. It is important to note that the listing specifies that the terrace was created with approval from the Homeowners Association (VvE) but is described as not having official permits. Prospective buyers should investigate this matter further to understand any potential implications. The flooring throughout the apartment consists of a sound-insulated base layer finished with high-quality PVC material. The lighting system uses Philips WarmGlow dimmable LED spotlights installed throughout the property. This type of lighting becomes warmer in tone as it is dimmed. The windows feature double glazing with privacy glass that prevents visibility from the outside. The roof windows are made with safety glass and have a ventilation mode that can be secured in position. The property holds an Energy Label F. This rating exists despite the recent renovations, which suggests that while individual components have been updated, the overall energy efficiency of the building remains constrained by factors such as the age and construction method of the original structure. The heating system is a central heating boiler (CV-ketel), and insulation measures include double glazing and floor insulation. The property is located on freehold land (volle eigendom), meaning there is no ground lease (erfpacht) arrangement in place. This is a significant consideration in Amsterdam, where many properties are subject to ground lease payments. Access to the apartment is via a private entrance starting from the third floor, which was established with approval from the VvE. Being on the fourth floor means the property is elevated above street level, which can contribute to reduced noise and increased privacy. The VvE contribution is 118 euros per month. The association is professionally managed and has a long-term maintenance plan (MJOP) in place. The VvE checklist confirms that the association is registered with the Chamber of Commerce (KvK), holds annual meetings, collects periodic contributions, maintains a reserve fund, has building insurance, and has a maintenance plan. The location in De Pijp is one of the main attractions of this property. The apartment is described as being on a quiet street while being close to Sarphatipark, a green space that is popular with local residents. The famous Albert Cuyp Market, along with numerous cafes and restaurants, can be reached within a few minutes on foot. Public transport connections are described as good, and the property is noted as being close to main roads for those who travel by car. Parking in the area is through paid public parking, and parking permits are available. The asking price is 495,000 euros (kosten koper), which translates to approximately 11,000 euros per square meter of living space. The acceptance terms are described as negotiable (in overleg).
