A wonderfully bright and cleverly laid-out three-room apartment offering approximately 49 m² of living space, two bedrooms, a fantastic west-facing roof terrace of approximately 11 m² and a private storage room of approximately 7 m². Situated on the first floor of a charming building dating from 1924, in a lovely location in Amsterdam-West. What truly sets this apartment apart is its wonderful west-facing roof terrace. No narrow staircase leading up to a higher rooftop, but direct access from the living room to your own outdoor space. The perfect place to unwind after work and enjoy the afternoon and evening sunshine. The terrace has its own independent supporting structure and is not built on the roof of the downstairs neighbours' extension. It offers plenty of room for outdoor dining, drinks with friends or simply relaxing in the sun. A rare combination of indoor and outdoor living, particularly for an apartment of this size and on this floor. Furthermore, the terrace was constructed with the necessary municipal permit and approval from the Owners' Association (VvE). The interior has also been thoughtfully designed. With an open-plan kitchen, a bright living room and two rooms at the front, every square metre has been put to good use. The current layout also offers flexibility: by repositioning a door, the original layout can easily be restored.

Upon entering, you arrive in the hallway, which provides access to the various rooms. At the rear of the apartment is the bright living room with an open-plan kitchen. The open layout creates a natural connection between the seating area, dining space and kitchen. A welcoming place to come home to, prepare a lovely meal or enjoy a relaxed evening with friends. The kitchen was installed in 2016, when a former load-bearing wall was removed to create an open connection with the living room. This has resulted in a spacious and practical living area. From the living room, you step directly onto the wonderful roof terrace of approximately 11 m². Thanks to its sunny west-facing position, you can enjoy plenty of afternoon and evening sunshine. There is ample space for a dining table and a comfortable seating area. The terrace has its own independent supporting structure, separate from the downstairs neighbours' extension. This means it sits at the same level as the living room and can be accessed without having to climb any additional stairs. A particularly enjoyable outdoor space that truly feels like an extension of the living room. At the front of the apartment are two rooms. The larger room is currently used as a home office but can easily serve as a bedroom. The second room is furnished as a bedroom. The layout is flexible: by adjusting the position of a door, the original configuration can be restored relatively easily. The bathroom was renovated in 2016 and enlarged at the time by incorporating part of the original hallway. The apartment also benefits from several practical built-in storage cupboards. Finally, the apartment comes with its own private storage room of approximately 7 m², ideal for bicycles, suitcases and other belongings you would rather keep out of the apartment. The roof terrace The roof terrace deserves a little extra attention. In 2017, the original balcony was extended to create the current terrace of approximately 11 m². The terrace was built on its own independent supporting structure, entirely separate from the downstairs neighbours' extension. The extension was completed with the required municipal permit and approval from the Owners' Association. Thanks to its west-facing position, this is a wonderful place to enjoy the afternoon and evening sunshine. With enough room for a dining table and a cosy seating area, it is the perfect spot for outdoor dinners, drinks with friends or simply soaking up the last rays of sunshine after a long day. As the terrace connects directly to the living room, it really does feel like an extension of the apartment. A terrace use agreement has been drawn up with the VvE, setting out arrangements including access to the underlying roof for necessary maintenance and repairs. The new owner will also be required to sign this agreement. A truly special outdoor space that, thanks to its direct connection to the living room and sunny west-facing position, feels like an integral part of the apartment. Owners' Association (VvE) The apartment forms part of the Owners' Association for Bestevaerstraat 141 to 149 (odd numbers) and De Rijpstraat 132 in Amsterdam. The VvE is professionally managed by Ymere. A long-term maintenance plan (MJOP) is in place, and funds are being reserved for future maintenance. As of 1 July 2026, the available reserve for planned maintenance amounted to approximately € 150.000. The total monthly VvE contribution is € 227,73, broken down as follows: - Apartment: € 169,44 per month - Storage room: € 58,29 per month The roof of the building was renewed and partially insulated in 2021. Ground lease (erfpacht) The property is situated on land owned by the Municipality of Amsterdam and is subject to a ground lease. The ground lease payments have been bought off until 31 January 2061, meaning no annual ground rent is payable until that date. For the period thereafter, the ground lease has been converted to the perpetual ground lease system under the General Provisions of 2016 (AB2016). From 1 February 2061 onwards, an annually indexed ground rent will become payable. Based on the 2026 price level, the annual ground rent for the future period is € 697,40.
