Description
This spacious three room apartment is situated in the municipality of Amstelveen and offers a comfortable living environment with a total living area of approximately 87 square meters. The property is located on the third floor of a gallery flat building that was originally constructed in 1960. Despite its age, the apartment has been well maintained and features modern finishes throughout, particularly in the kitchen and bathroom areas.
Upon entering the apartment through the shared staircase, residents are welcomed into a central hallway that provides access to all the main rooms of the property. The layout has been designed to maximize the sense of space and light, with the living area forming the heart of the home. The living room benefits from large window sections that allow abundant natural light to fill the space throughout the day. The open floor plan connects the living area seamlessly with the kitchen, creating an inviting atmosphere that is suitable for both relaxation and entertaining. There is sufficient space in the living room to accommodate a comfortable seating arrangement as well as a dining area for daily meals or hosting guests.
The kitchen is arranged in a practical L shaped configuration and has been equipped with various built in appliances to support convenient meal preparation. The appliance package includes a gas stove, an oven, a refrigerator, and a dishwasher. In addition to the cooking appliances, the kitchen offers ample workspace and storage cabinets. The laundry facilities are also integrated into the kitchen area, with a dedicated connection point for a washing machine.
The apartment contains two well proportioned bedrooms, both of which receive plenty of natural light through their windows. The bedrooms are accessible from the central hallway and have been finished in a neat and presentable manner. One of the bedrooms features direct access to the balcony, which is a practical feature for those who enjoy having outdoor space readily available from their private quarters. The bedrooms are suitable for use as sleeping quarters, home offices, or a combination of both, depending on the needs of the residents.
The bathroom has been modernized and features a walk in shower with a glass screen, a washbasin, and a towel radiator for added comfort. The toilet is located in a separate room, which is a convenient arrangement that allows multiple residents to use the facilities simultaneously without inconvenience. This separation of the toilet from the bathroom is a practical feature that enhances the daily usability of the apartment.
The outdoor space consists of a balcony that spans approximately 7 square meters and is accessible from both the living room and one of the bedrooms. This dual access makes the balcony a versatile space that can be enjoyed from different parts of the apartment. The balcony provides an outdoor area where residents can sit, relax, and enjoy the surrounding environment. The listing mentions that the property has an open location with a free view, which suggests that the balcony offers pleasant outlooks rather than being overlooked by neighboring buildings.
In terms of storage, the apartment benefits from a shared bicycle storage area and a separate communal storage room that is available to all members of the homeowners association. The external storage space measures approximately 6 square meters. While these storage facilities are shared rather than private, they do provide additional space for items that do not need to be kept inside the apartment itself.
The building is equipped with several practical features including outdoor sun blinds, a fiber optic cable connection, mechanical ventilation, and a TV cable connection. These installations contribute to the comfort and convenience of daily living in the apartment.
The heating and hot water systems are provided by a gas fired combi boiler manufactured by Intergas. This boiler was installed in 2017 and is included in the sale as owned property, meaning the new owner will not need to replace or purchase this essential system. The presence of a relatively modern heating system is a notable advantage for a property of this age.
The apartment holds an energy label D, which indicates moderate energy efficiency. The property has been fitted with double glazing, high efficiency glazing, and wall insulation, which represent improvements over the original 1960 construction standards. These insulation measures help to reduce heat loss and improve the overall comfort level within the living spaces.
The property is situated in a green and well regarded residential area of Amstelveen. The immediate neighborhood offers a wide range of amenities including supermarkets, various shops, restaurants and other dining establishments, schools, and sports facilities. This combination of amenities makes the location suitable for different types of residents, including families with children and working professionals.
Transport connections from the property are described as excellent. Public transport options are available within walking distance, and the nearby main roads provide quick access to Amsterdam, Schiphol Airport, and the surrounding cities. This connectivity is a significant advantage for commuters or those who frequently travel.
Parking at the location is regulated, with paid parking and parking permit systems in place. Prospective buyers should factor in the cost and availability of parking permits when considering this property.
The homeowners association for the building is properly established and maintained. The monthly contribution is set at 204.36 euros, which covers the shared costs of building maintenance and management. The association holds regular annual meetings, maintains a reserve fund, has a maintenance plan in place, and has arranged building insurance. These organizational elements indicate a well run association that takes its responsibilities seriously.
The asking price for the apartment is 475,000 euros, which translates to approximately 5,460 euros per square meter of living space. The property is offered with a delivery date to be negotiated, and the transfer will be subject to the inclusion of an age clause and an asbestos clause in the deed of sale. These clauses are standard for properties of this era and serve to inform buyers about the potential presence of materials that were commonly used in construction during the 1960s.
The property is registered in the land registry under the designation AMSTELVEEN H 11006 and is offered as full ownership. The flat roof is covered with bituminous roofing material, which is typical for apartment buildings of this construction period.
