Description
This stylish apartment is located on the first floor of a modern residential complex on Wiborgeiland, part of the popular Houthavens district in Amsterdam. The property was built in 2020 and features high-quality finishes throughout, offering a comfortable living environment with modern amenities. The apartment has a total living area of approximately 96 square meters, making it a spacious home for couples, small families, or professionals working from home.
Upon entering the apartment via the communal entrance with elevator, you are welcomed into a well-organized hallway that provides access to the various rooms. The hallway includes a storage closet, a separate laundry room, and a guest toilet with a small sink. The layout is practical and ensures that daily routines flow smoothly.
The living room is particularly noteworthy for its depth, measuring approximately 12.8 meters from front to back. Large windows along the facade allow abundant natural light to enter the space throughout the day. A folding glass door connects the interior directly to the outdoor area, creating a seamless transition between inside and outside living. The open-plan design integrates the kitchen with the living area, making this space ideal for both relaxation and entertaining.
The kitchen is a custom design by Nieuw Amsterdams Ontwerp and serves as the focal point of the home. It features a cooking island made of bamboo wood, which adds a warm and natural element to the interior. The kitchen is fully equipped with built-in appliances, including an induction cooktop with integrated extraction, a wine climate cabinet, an oven, a dishwasher, a Quooker instant boiling water tap, and a dedicated coffee bar area. These features make the kitchen both functional and enjoyable to use for everyday cooking as well as special occasions.
The entire apartment has a modern poured resin floor that contributes to the clean and contemporary aesthetic. Underfloor heating and floor cooling are installed throughout the property, connected to the city heating system. This provides consistent temperature control in both winter and summer months, enhancing the overall comfort of the living space. The combination of these systems with the excellent insulation results in low energy costs, which is reflected in the Energy Label A rating.
The sleeping quarters are located at the quieter rear side of the apartment, overlooking the canal. Both bedrooms have luxury shutters installed, allowing residents to control light and privacy as desired. The master bedroom measures approximately 15 square meters and includes a built-in wardrobe, providing practical storage space without compromising the room's appearance. The second bedroom is approximately 9 square meters and can serve as a children's room, home office, or guest room, depending on the needs of the occupants.
The bathroom details are not extensively described in the listing, though it is mentioned that there is one bathroom and one separate toilet in the apartment.
The outdoor space consists of a balcony measuring approximately 6 square meters, facing west. This orientation means that residents can enjoy afternoon and evening sun, making it an pleasant spot for outdoor dining or relaxation. The balcony offers an unobstructed view over the water, adding to the appeal of this outdoor area.
In addition to the apartment itself, the property includes a separate storage unit of approximately 5 square meters located in the basement. This provides convenient space for storing bicycles, luggage, seasonal items, or other belongings that are not needed on a daily basis.
One of the significant advantages of this property is the included private parking space in the underground garage. The parking space is equipped with an electric vehicle charging station, making it suitable for owners of electric or plug-in hybrid vehicles. In a city like Amsterdam where parking is often difficult and expensive to find, having a dedicated parking space adds considerable value and convenience.
The residential complex is equipped with an elevator, ensuring easy access to the apartment on the first floor. The building has a modern appearance and fits well with the architectural style characteristic of the Houthavens development.
Wiborgeiland is known for its modern architecture, peaceful residential atmosphere, and unique waterfront location. Despite the tranquil setting, the vibrant life of Amsterdam is always within reach. The immediate vicinity offers various cafes, restaurants, specialty shops, and supermarkets for daily necessities. Westerpark, the Jordaan district, and Amsterdam's city center are all within easy cycling distance. For recreation, residents can enjoy the waterfront or visit one of the nearby parks.
The accessibility of the location is excellent. Both public transportation and road connections provide quick access to the city center, Amsterdam Central Station, and the Ring A10 highway.
The property is maintained in excellent condition, as expected from a building constructed in 2020. The high-quality finishes, modern installations, and good insulation make this apartment essentially move-in ready. The Owners Association is professionally managed and active, with service costs of 121.73 euros per month for the apartment and 87.84 euros per month for the parking space. The VvE has a reserve fund, maintenance plan, and building insurance in place.
The property is situated on municipal leasehold land. The annual ground lease is 5,352.30 euros for the apartment and 158.30 euros for the parking space, which is tax-deductible for income tax purposes. The current lease period runs until October 15, 2067, and the transition to perpetual leasehold has already been arranged.
With an asking price of 875,000 euros, this apartment represents a premium offering in one of Amsterdam's newer residential areas. The combination of modern construction, quality finishes, water views, private parking, and a desirable location makes this property suitable for buyers seeking a contemporary lifestyle in a well-connected part of the city.
