Renovated three-room apartment on 13th floor with panoramic views

The property is located on Westelijk Halfrond in Amstelveen, specifically in the Zeestratenbuurt neighborhood within the Kostverloren district. This apartment is situated on the 13th floor of the Meridiaan building, offering residents expansive views over the surrounding area. The apartment has a total living area of 86 square meters and is classified as a three-room property, which includes two bedrooms alongside the living space.

The building dates back to 1971 but the apartment itself underwent a comprehensive renovation in 2023. As part of this renovation, new PVC flooring was installed throughout the entire apartment in a herringbone pattern, providing a modern and cohesive aesthetic. The property holds an energy label B rating, which indicates reasonable energy efficiency. The insulation includes double glazing, HR glazing, and floor insulation. Heating is provided through a combination of block heating and a central heating boiler. The central heating boiler is gas-fired and was installed in 2023, meaning it is relatively new and under the ownership of the current proprietor.

Upon entering the building, residents are welcomed by a spacious and well-secured lobby. The communal areas include a hallway with letterboxes and a staircase. A lift is available to transport residents to the upper floors, which is essential given that this apartment is located on the 13th level. The entrance to the apartment itself leads into a hallway that provides access to all rooms within the property. This hallway includes a cloakroom area containing the fuse box and additional storage space.

The living and dining area is described as light, bright, and spacious. It connects seamlessly with a modern open-plan kitchen that features a practical layout with ample storage options. The kitchen is equipped with all necessary built-in appliances, though the specific brands and types are not detailed in the listing. Both the kitchen and the living dining area are positioned on the side of the apartment that faces the balcony, allowing residents to enjoy the views from these primary living spaces.

The balcony measures 14 square meters and faces northeast. From this outdoor space, as well as from the adjacent master bedroom, occupants can take in panoramic views of the surroundings. The elevated position on the 13th floor ensures that these views are unobstructed and extend over a considerable distance.

Both bedrooms in the apartment are generously proportioned. The larger bedroom measures 4.9 meters by 2.65 meters, while the second bedroom measures 4.3 meters by 2.7 meters. These bedrooms are positioned separately from one another, providing privacy. The master bedroom shares the same aspect as the living area and balcony, meaning it also benefits from the elevated views.

The bathroom is spacious and has been finished to a modern standard following the 2023 renovation. It includes a large walk-in shower, a washbasin, and designated space for a washing machine and tumble dryer. A separate toilet is located elsewhere in the apartment, which is a practical arrangement for a property with two bedrooms. The bathroom and toilet facilities are therefore distinct from one another.

In addition to the internal storage provided by the cloakroom in the hallway, residents also have access to a private storage unit located in the basement of the complex. This external storage space measures 6 square meters and is useful for items that do not need to be kept within the apartment itself. The total volume of the apartment is stated as 277 cubic meters.

The apartment is offered with full ownership rights, known as volle eigendom in Dutch property terms. The asking price is set at 495,000 euros, which is calculated on a costs buyer basis, meaning the buyer is responsible for the additional transaction costs such as transfer tax and notary fees. This translates to approximately 5,756 euros per square meter of living space.

The property is part of a homeowners association, abbreviated as VvE in Dutch. The monthly contribution to this association amounts to 308.13 euros. The VvE is properly registered with the Chamber of Commerce, holds annual general meetings, maintains a reserve fund, and has an operational maintenance plan in place. Building insurance is also arranged through the association. These factors indicate a well-managed and financially sound residential complex.

The Kostverloren neighborhood where this apartment is located is characterized by its green surroundings and relatively peaceful atmosphere. Despite this tranquility, the location offers convenient access to various amenities. Shopping facilities are available at two nearby centers: Kostverlorenhof to the north and Bankrashof to the south. The Amstelveen town center, known as Stadshart, is approximately five minutes away by car and provides a comprehensive range of shops, dining establishments, and cultural venues including P60, the Amstelveen Theater, Cinema Amstelveen, and the Cobra Museum.

For families, the area offers access to both Dutch and international schools, childcare facilities, sports clubs, and medical services. The Amstelveense Middelpolder recreational area is within walking distance, providing opportunities for outdoor activities in a natural setting. A strip of land running through the neighborhood alongside the water features footpaths connecting to various parts of the local area.

The accessibility of this location is one of its notable features. Public transport options include trams 5 and 25, as well as bus route 300 which provides a direct connection to Schiphol Airport. For those traveling by car, the A9 and A10 motorways are readily accessible. The listing notes that Amsterdam can be reached within approximately five minutes, and the Zuidas business district is also conveniently close. This combination of proximity to major employment centers and a relatively peaceful residential environment makes the location attractive to various demographics including young families, expatriates, and working professionals.

Parking at the apartment complex is described as free in the description, though the official characteristics section mentions paid parking, public parking, and parking permits as options in the broader area. This may indicate that while parking directly in front of the complex is unrestricted, the surrounding streets operate under a permit system.

The property is currently furnished, as indicated by the gestoffeerd designation in the listing characteristics. The accessibility features note that the building is suitable for people with disabilities and elderly residents, which is likely facilitated by the presence of the lift and the secure entrance.

A NEN2580 measurement report is available for the property, which provides standardized measurements of the living space. This report offers buyers additional assurance regarding the accuracy of the stated dimensions. The measurement instructions in the listing clarify that while care has been taken in measuring the property, neither the estate agent nor the seller accepts liability for any discrepancies in the stated dimensions, and buyers are encouraged to verify these measurements independently.

The roof of the building is a flat roof covered with bituminous roofing material. The apartment benefits from fiber optic cable connectivity and mechanical ventilation, which contributes to air quality and comfort within the living spaces.
