Description
Located in the highly sought after Eastern Docklands of Amsterdam, this light filled three room apartment offers a unique blend of historic character and modern living. Situated on the Zeeburgerkade, the residence is nestled within one of the iconic former warehouses that define the architectural landscape of this vibrant neighborhood. With a generous living area of approximately 80 square meters, the home provides ample space for comfortable living. The property is positioned on the second floor, offering a perfect balance of privacy and elevation. A significant advantage of this apartment is the inclusion of a private parking space located in the basement of the building, a rare and valuable commodity in the Dutch capital. Additionally, the property comes with a private storage unit on the ground floor, ensuring that all your seasonal items and bicycles can be stored securely and conveniently. The entire apartment has recently been painted, presenting a fresh and move-in ready appearance for the new owners.
Upon entering the building, residents are welcomed by a secure entrance leading to a lift that ascends to the second floor where the apartment is situated. The layout of the home is both practical and inviting. The entrance hall provides access to the separate toilet room, which is equipped with a small sink, and leads to the various living spaces. One of the bedrooms is located at the front of the property, facing the quiet atrium side of the building. This room features windows that ensure plenty of natural light and includes a built-in wardrobe offering substantial storage space for clothing and personal items.
The heart of the home is undoubtedly the spacious and light living room. Thanks to the corner location of the apartment and an additional side window in the kitchen, the living area is bathed in natural light throughout the day. The living room is oriented towards the south, maximizing sun exposure and creating a warm and cheerful atmosphere. A French balcony with double opening doors provides a lovely spot to enjoy the morning air and offers a view over the playing fields of the J.M. van der Meylaan. The high ceilings of approximately three meters throughout the apartment contribute to a sense of grandeur and openness, a characteristic feature of the warehouse buildings in this area.
The open kitchen is neat and simple, situated adjacent to the living room. While described as straightforward, it provides the necessary functionality for daily meal preparation and benefits from the same abundance of light as the living area due to the clever positioning of the windows. From the living room, one can access the second sunny bedroom or alternatively access the second sunny bedroom from the hallway. This bedroom also benefits from a southern orientation and features direct access to the bathroom. The bathroom is well-appointed with a walk-in shower, a sink with a corresponding vanity unit, and the connection for a washing machine, making laundry chores easy to manage within the home.
Both the living room and the second bedroom provide access to the south-facing balcony. This outdoor space is a true asset, offering a sunny retreat where residents can relax, dine, or entertain guests while enjoying the view and the favorable climate. The visible steel load-bearing structure has been intentionally left exposed, giving the apartment a modern and industrial look that pays homage to the building's history as a warehouse.
The location on the Zeeburgerkade is characterized by its peaceful atmosphere. The road is a dead end, meaning there is no through traffic, only destination traffic, which significantly reduces noise and increases safety. Despite this tranquility, the apartment is centrally situated in the Eastern Docklands. The bustling center of Amsterdam is just a ten minute bike ride away, offering easy access to the wide range of cultural and culinary attractions the city has to offer. Public transport connections are excellent, with tram and bus services providing quick links to Central Station and other parts of the city.
For those who travel by car, the property is highly accessible via the nearby A10 ring road and other major arterial roads. The immediate vicinity offers a wealth of amenities, including the Brazil shopping center, various restaurants, and sports facilities. The nearby KNSM island, the Indische Buurt, the Flevopark, and the famous Dappermarket are all within easy reach, providing diverse options for leisure and shopping. Water sports enthusiasts will appreciate the possibility of mooring a rowing or sailing boat right in front of the door on the quay. The area also offers numerous walking and cycling paths, allowing residents to fully enjoy the outdoor lifestyle.
Regarding the technical and financial aspects, the apartment is equipped with a mechanical ventilation system and TV cable. The energy label is B, indicating good energy efficiency for a building of this age. Heating and hot water are provided by a gas-fired combi boiler from 2016, which is owned by the property. The building features an active and professional Homeowners Association managed by NeWoMij VvE Beheer. The monthly service costs are approximately 346.89 euros. This contribution covers the management of the building, maintenance of common areas, and the presence of a concierge, which adds an extra layer of security and service for the residents. The VvE is financially healthy with a reserve fund, a maintenance plan, and multi-year risk insurance.
The property is situated on municipal ground subject to leasehold. The ground rent has been prepaid until March 2039. After this period, the leasehold will be perpetually fixed. The current general provision, known as the canon, amounts to approximately 476.80 euros per year and is already being indexed annually. This financial structure provides clarity and security for the future regarding the leasehold costs.
In summary, this apartment on the Zeeburgerkade represents a fantastic opportunity for those seeking a ready-to-move-in home with character in a prime Amsterdam location. The combination of the south-facing living spaces, the high ceilings, the private parking, and the quiet yet central location makes this a unique listing. Whether you are a professional working in the city or a couple looking for a comfortable base with outdoor space, this property ticks many boxes. The delivery of the apartment is in consultation, but the owners are open to a quick transfer, allowing for a smooth transition for the new inhabitants.
