Description

The ground lease has been paid off perpetually—just the way we like it!

This is a bright and spacious apartment located in the green district of Amsterdam Zuid, specifically in the Buitenveldert area. The area offers fantastic amenities such as the beautiful Amstelpark with children's play facilities, the Gelderlandplein shopping center, the future international train station 'Station Amsterdam Zuid' (with upcoming connections to Paris, London, and Berlin), the Amsterdamse Bos, the Zuidas business district, and several top-notch educational institutions (Vrije Universiteit, AICS, ACTA, and the Gerrit Rietveld Academy) all within close proximity. The region is also well-served with General Practitioner (GP) posts, dentists, and the UMCA hospital just around the corner.

The three-room apartment, accessible via an elevator or staircase from the main entrance (with a hallway and mailboxes), is located on the top (third) floor and is the second-to-last unit on the gallery. Additionally, it can be directly accessed via the stairs at the end of the gallery. A notarial agreement grants permission to construct a roof terrace and possibly a rooftop extension. The residential complex is situated in a green courtyard with unobstructed views of a larger green area, embodying what living in the green Buitenveldert area should be. The view from the living room includes lawns and various trees such as elms, plane trees, alders, and oaks, highlighted by a strikingly beautiful large tree that enhances privacy with its autumnal splendor.

The apartment has a practical layout with two spacious bedrooms and a cozy living room with a large window framing the lush surroundings. The second bedroom can easily be integrated into the living room to create an open-plan living area if desired. This bedroom is currently used as a home office and features a convenient double wall bed for guests. The living room is located on the eastern side and provides access to a spacious, covered balcony. The main bedroom, also on the east side, connects to the balcony, while the second bedroom is on the west side. The separate kitchen is functional and accessible from the hallway.

Layout:
Ground floor: Entrance hall with stairwell, elevator, and mailboxes.
Third floor: Apartment entrance, separate kitchen with built-in combi microwave, dishwasher, and a practical pull-out pantry; bathroom with shower and sink; living room on the green rear facade; balcony on the green rear facade; main bedroom on the rear facade; hallway; separate toilet with hand basin; second bedroom on the front facade.
All rooms feature spacious built-in wardrobes that extend to the ceiling, making the apartment easy to maintain and free from dust traps. The property is also summer-ready, with excellent temperature regulation thanks to new shading (front: roller shutters; rear: awnings) and roll-up insect screens on all exterior doors.
The apartment includes a large, separate storage unit in the basement, double the usual size. This storage is not only spacious but also clean, dry, well-lit with natural daylight, and equipped with an electrical outlet, making it ideal for use as a hobby or craft room.

Surroundings:
The apartment is located in Buitenveldert, the green district of Amsterdam Zuid, just around the corner from the revamped Gelderlandplein shopping center, which offers a wide range of shops (including an Albert Heijn XL), restaurants, and fashion boutiques.

Accessibility:
The property is conveniently located near major highways, providing quick access to The Hague and Utrecht. Public transport is within walking distance, including tram 4, bus 62, metro lines 50 and 51, the new North-South line, and the NS Rai train station. Tram 5 and the NS Station Zuid are a bit further away but still within walking distance.

Within a 5-minute walk, you can enjoy the Amstelpark, perfect for walks and leisure, with children's play facilities and a petting zoo. A short bike ride brings you to the Amsterdamse Bos or the Gijsbrecht van Amstelpark, which features water play areas for children during the summer.
