Spacious Bright Apartment in the Popular Toren van Oost with South-Facing Balcony
Key Features
Description
This spacious apartment of 90 square meters is situated in the sought after Toren van Oost building on the fifth floor along Zeeburgerdijk in Amsterdam Oost. The property offers a remarkably large and bright living room with an open kitchen, two generous bedrooms, and a sunny south facing balcony with unobstructed views of greenery.
The apartment is accessed via one of two elevators that serve the building. Upon reaching the fifth floor, a central hallway provides access to all rooms, creating a practical and logical layout.
The living room is exceptionally spacious and filled with natural light. The open kitchen is practically designed with a sink island and breakfast bar, and comes fully equipped with all necessary appliances including a dishwasher, a four burner gas cooktop, a range hood, and an American style refrigerator. The living area provides ample space for both a large dining table and a comfortable seating area, making it a natural gathering place where cooking, dining, and relaxation come together.
A particularly pleasant feature of this home is that both the living room and the two bedrooms provide direct access to the south facing balcony. The balcony features sliding glass windows, allowing comfortable outdoor seating even on less warm days while enjoying the green outlook. This outdoor space truly serves as an extension of the living area.
The two bedrooms are both well proportioned. The main bedroom comfortably accommodates a double bed and a large wardrobe wall. The second room offers flexibility in its use and can be arranged as a home office, guest room, or children's room depending on your needs.
The bathroom is neatly finished with light tiles and includes a walk in shower, a double vanity unit with furniture, and a heated towel radiator. The toilet is conveniently located separately from the bathroom.
For storage, the apartment includes a practical internal storage room with connections for both a washing machine and a dryer. In addition to this, there is a spacious external storage unit of approximately 8 square meters located on the ground floor, which is ideal for storing bicycles and additional belongings.
The ground lease for this property has been paid off until November 30, 2050. The transition to perpetual ground lease has already been secured under favorable conditions. After 2050, the annual canon will amount to 1,085 euros per year, indexed, with the possibility to buy this out at a later stage.
The Owners Association, known as the Vereniging van Eigenaren or VvE, is professionally managed and takes care of the maintenance, cleaning of common areas, and building insurance. The association is financially healthy and has a multi year maintenance plan in place. The monthly contribution amounts to 203 euros.
The location offers quiet living with everything within easy reach. Just around the corner you will find the Flevopark and the Flevoparkbad swimming pool, perfect for a walk, exercise, or a refreshing summer swim. The Javastraat in the heart of Amsterdam Oost and the Javaplein offer a vibrant mix of hospitality venues and shops.
Accessibility is excellent. Tram lines 3 and 14 stop right at the door, Muiderpoort station is located at a short distance, and by car you can quickly reach the A10 ring road.
The building was constructed in 2002 and features a flat roof covered with bituminous roofing material. The property is accessible for people with disabilities and for elderly residents. An elevator is present in the building.
The energy label is A, indicating high energy efficiency. The apartment features HR glass and is fully insulated. Heating and hot water are provided by an Intergas HRE gas fired combination boiler from 2022, which is included with the property.
The total volume of the apartment is 302 cubic meters. The balcony measures 6 square meters, and the external storage space adds another 8 square meters.
According to Fundermaps, the foundation risk for this property is classified as 0, meaning there is no elevated risk of foundation problems.
Parking in the area is available through paid parking and parking permit systems.
The current owners have lived in the property for nine years with great pleasure. After that period, the apartment was rented out. Now that the last tenants have left and the owners have decided not to return to the city with their family, they feel this is the right moment to pass the property on to new residents. They hope the next occupants will find just as much joy, beautiful moments, and a pleasant home base in this apartment as they did.
The property can be delivered in consultation with the sellers, which means a quick handover is possible if desired. A virtual 3D tour is available to explore the entire property online, get a feel for the layout, and check measurements yourself. This is an ideal way to prepare for a physical viewing.
