Jan van Zutphenstraat 631069 RR AmsterdamZuidwestkwadrant-Zuid

Anyone looking for real space in Amsterdam usually ends up with a canal house or a penthouse. This corner apartment on the Jan van Zutphenstraat shows there is another way: 157 m2 of living space on a single floor, of which the living room and open kitchen together take up approximately 90 m2. It is the largest apartment type in Aquamarijn (2009), one of four residential towers by Wiel Arets Architects on the water of the Slotervaart which together won the Amsterdam Architecture Prize in 2010; only four apartments in the complex are this size. The corner position brings in daylight from several directions. Floor-to-ceiling windows and a large sliding door with a French balcony fill the living space with light and look out over greenery. At the heart of the apartment is the Italian Arclinea designer kitchen with a cooking island and full built-in appliances, including an oven and a built-in coffee machine; the original purchase price was approximately 100,000 euro. Kitchen, dining area and living room form one whole: if you like to cook and to have people over, you are right in the middle of it. The apartment further offers two bedrooms, two separate toilets, a spacious utility room with washing machine and dryer connections and a practical wall of cupboards, additional storage in the hall, and a bathroom with underfloor heating, in which the walk-in shower, the double washbasin and the vanity unit were renewed in 2023. The entire apartment has underfloor heating and district heating. The apartment is delivered move-in ready. A large part of the interior can be taken over in consultation, from the built-in appliances and the fitted cupboards to the furniture; whatever you wish to take over is recorded in the list of movable property. The apartment is on the first floor of eleven residential floors and is reached through a spacious entrance with video intercom and two lifts. A private parking space in the underground car park and a private indoor storage room are both included in the sale. Groceries from the car, into the lift and home: everything under one roof. Everything on one level and no garden maintenance, which makes this apartment as suitable for two working professionals with a full diary as for anyone trading a large house for comfort without giving up space. The Jan van Zutphenstraat is in a quiet residential area in Amsterdam Nieuw-West, between De Aker and Osdorp. Daily shopping is around the corner on the Pieter Calandlaan, with an Albert Heijn supermarket and an Etos pharmacy store less than three minutes on foot, plus a butcher and several restaurants. The Osdorpplein and Ecuplein shopping centres and the Akerpoort shopping centre are a short cycle ride away. Greenery starts at the front door: the Jan van Zutphenplantsoen borders the complex, Stadspark Osdorp and Natuurpark De Vrije Geer are just over five minutes on foot, and the Sloterplas lake and the Amsterdamse Bos forest are easily reached by bicycle. Primary schools, day care and the Calandlyceum secondary school are all close by. Tram stop Hoekenes is two minutes away and takes you straight into the city centre, Lelylaan train station is a short cycle ride away, and the A4, A9 and A10 motorways put Schiphol Airport and the Zuidas business district within easy reach. LEASEHOLD The apartment is built on continuing leasehold land (voortdurende erfpacht) owned by the City of Amsterdam. The General Provisions for continuing leasehold 2000 apply. The current period runs until 15 March 2057, so there is no ground rent review before that date. The annual ground rent (canon) is 3,723.67 euro, index-linked each year on 16 March and tax-deductible for owner-occupiers. The leasehold of the private parking space has been bought off until 15 March 2057. An application to switch to perpetual leasehold (eeuwigdurende erfpacht) has been filed under the favourable conditions, with application date 26 February 2022. On that basis the perpetual ground rent after 15 March 2057 will be approximately 1,562 euro per year excluding indexation, with the option to buy it off. The City of Amsterdam has confirmed in writing that the application date, and the conditions attached to it, transfer to the buyer on sale. This requires the application to be active at the time of transfer, so completion must take place before 1 January 2027. For an international buyer this is the key point: the land is not freehold, but the cost is known, fixed in structure until 2057, and the favourable 2022 terms come with the apartment.
