Agreeable two-storey dwelling of around 101m², with two balconies, on popular Voltaplein. It has its own private entrance at street level and is situated on the first and second floors. The apartment is ideal for anyone seeking to modernise it in line with their own tastes and who wishes and to turn it into a delightful family home.
There is also the possibility of adding to the property, on the roof. Permission has been granted for extra space to be created on the roof of around 20 to 25m² and to build a roof terrace. This would be an excellent addition to the existing floor surface area. Numerous apartments in the vicinity have already been enhanced in this way. More information is available from the Amsterdam City Council.
At the front are pleasant views of the visually appealing square, with its pretty flower beds and footpaths. This is a lovely spot for families to sit and for children to play. Also, there are restrictions on the use of cars on the square, with mostly only local traffic.
The ground rent has been purchased in full until 2054, and thereafter fixed in perpetuity under favourable conditions.
LAYOUT
Private entrance at street level, with stairs to the first floor.
Entry into the hall on the first floor, with a separate toilet and access to the living room and kitchen. Very spacious living room with windows at both ends, therefore making it very bright, with views of the square at the front and of the greenery of the enclosed gardens at the rear. To the rear is the semi-open kitchen. The balcony can be accessed by the French windows and through the door in the kitchen.
On the second floor are four bedrooms, of varying sizes. Both bedrooms at the rear open out onto the balcony. The storage attic can be reached by means of a pull-down ladder in the large bedroom at the front. The bathroom is situated in the central part of the apartment and comes with a shower, a sink, and a towel radiator. There is a separate toilet and storage cupboard on the landing.
As already mentioned, there is the option of adding a fully viable third floor. In most cases, this has resulted in the addition of an extra bedroom and bathroom. The roof terrace would be an attractive addition to the property as a whole, providing a pleasing balance between the comforts of the property itself and the enjoyment of the outdoor air.
LOCATION
Pleasant location on Voltaplein in Watergraafsmeer, in Amsterdam Oost. It is just a short distance from the lively Middenweg, Christiaan Huygensplein, and Oostpoort for your shopping needs, and from the daily Dappermarkt (market). There are also plenty of friendly bars and great restaurants nearby, including Brouwerij Poesiat & Kater, 1900, La Vallade, De Kas, and more. The apartment is located more or less exactly halfway between Flevopark and Park Frankendael - both perfect for a relaxing stroll.
The local public transport connections are excellent, providing quick access to every part of the city and beyond. Tram route 19 and bus routes 40 and 65 pass just around the corner. For those wishing to travel by train, the Science Park station is easy to reach on foot, while Muiderpoort Station is within comfortable cycling distance.
For those with a car, you can be on the A10 Ring Road in a matter of minutes (via junction S113). Street parking is possible, with a parking permit. There is no waiting list for this, and in this area you actually qualify for two permits.
OWNERS’ ASSOCIATION
The owners’ association has three members and will be activated as a result of the sale of this apartment. The owners’ association will shortly become active because the first apartments that form part of the association are being sold. The monthly service charges will be around €151.50. There is a long-term maintenance plan in place and the owners’ association is registered with the Chamber of Commerce.
LEASEHOLD
The apartment is on municipal leasehold land, the ground rent for which has been paid until 31 March 2054 (AB1994). The vendor has fixed the ground rent under favourable conditions. After the end of the current period, a perpetual lease will apply (AB2016), for which the vendor has opted for annual payment of ground rent. The vendor has completed the process for a transfer to a perpetual lease, which process has been executed by a civil-law notary. More information is available from the estate agent.
