Javastraat 91-31094 HB AmsterdamTimorpleinbuurt-Noord

INTRODUCTION Located in the heart of the vibrant Indische Buurt, this well maintained and move in ready apartment of approximately 31 m² offers an exceptional opportunity to own a comfortable and characterful home in one of Amsterdam’s most sought after neighbourhoods. Situated on the third floor, this bright apartment features a spacious living area with an open-plan kitchen and a sunny south-facing balcony overlooking the vibrant Javastraat. It also offers a separate bedroom with a charming French balcony and a practical, centrally located bathroom. Thanks to the efficient layout, generous ceiling height and useful storage possibilities, the apartment feels surprisingly spacious. The apartment has been renovated by the current owner, who is an interior architect. Characterful stained-glass-style details have been retained as a decorative feature in front of the double glazing. They can also be removed to create a cleaner, more minimalist appearance. The whitewashed oak floor is in good condition and gives the home a warm, contemporary look. The kitchen, bathroom and flooring have been carefully maintained. Comfort and sustainability go hand in hand. The property is fitted with HR++ glazing throughout and currently holds Energy Label D. Based on the glazing, insulation measures and the relatively low energy consumption in practice, there is reason to believe that the actual energy performance may be more favourable than the current label suggests. A particularly valuable feature is the perpetual leasehold, which was fully bought off by the current owner in October 2020. As a result, there are no future ground lease payments, providing a level of certainty often compared to owning freehold land. Combined with a healthy and actively involved homeowners association, healthy reserve funds, a multi year maintenance plan and a central location surrounded by cafés, restaurants, shops and public transport, this apartment offers an attractive blend of comfort, convenience and long term security. LAYOUT Residents enter through a neat communal entrance and staircase, reflecting the care and attention given to the property by its owners. Upon entering the apartment, you step directly into the bright living room. Large windows and two balcony doors allow abundant natural light to enter the space throughout the day. The open kitchen is integrated into the living space and is equipped with cooking facilities and a refrigerator with freezer compartment. The layout makes efficient use of the available space while maintaining a comfortable and open feel. The bedroom is quietly situated at the rear of the apartment and comfortably accommodates a double bed and wardrobe. The French balcony in the bedroom provides pleasant additional daylight and natural ventilation. The centrally located bathroom is situated at the rear of the property and is equipped with a shower, toilet and washbasin. It features a window for natural ventilation, supplemented by mechanical ventilation. A dedicated washing machine connection is also available, adding to the practicality of the apartment. The efficient layout, combined with the ceiling height and various storage possibilities, makes the apartment feel larger than its floor area would suggest. SUSTAINABILITY AND COMFORT The apartment currently holds Energy Label D and benefits from HR++ glazing throughout. HR++ glazing contributes to improved insulation, reduced heat loss and increased living comfort throughout the year. The apartment has proven comfortable and economical to operate, with relatively low energy consumption and manageable utility costs. A comparable apartment on the second floor of the same building has been awarded Energy Label C. Given that this apartment is also fitted with HR++ glazing and benefits from similar construction characteristics and insulation measures, there is reason to believe that a future reassessment could potentially result in an improved energy rating. The actual energy usage is broadly in line with what many buyers would expect from a property with Energy Label C, while the combination of glazing, insulation and efficient use of space contributes to a pleasant indoor climate during both winter and summer. LEASEHOLD (FULLY BOUGHT OFF) A major advantage of this property is the perpetual leasehold, which has been fully bought off by the current owner. The buyout was completed in October 2020 at a cost of approximately €22,000. As a result, there are no future leasehold obligations or annual ground lease payments. This provides long term certainty and financial predictability, often regarded as comparable to owning freehold land. This feature represents a significant benefit in Amsterdam’s housing market and contributes positively to the long term value of the property. FOUNDATION Based on the foundation assessment carried out in 2026, the property’s foundation received an indicative Classification C, Fair. Several minor deviations and slight deformations were observed that may be associated with foundation related movement. However, there are no indications of acute or severe structural defects. The measured deviations largely fall within the range that can reasonably be expected for a building dating from 1903. The report does not recommend any immediate repair works or corrective measures. BATHROOM POTENTIAL The apartment offers an interesting opportunity to create a more spacious and luxurious bathroom through a smart redesign of the existing layout. By relocating the washing machine to the kitchen, the toilet can be moved to the current washing machine position. This creates room for a larger vanity with washbasin and mirror in place of the existing toilet. Combined with elegant glass shower doors, the result could be a significantly more spacious, modern and high end bathroom. In our view, this represents one of the apartment’s most attractive value enhancing opportunities. HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION The homeowners association consists of five members, comprising the commercial unit on the ground floor and the four apartments above. Management is carried out directly by the owners themselves, resulting in an engaged and committed association with a strong focus on the long term maintenance and preservation of the building. A multi year maintenance plan is in place and the association has built up healthy financial reserves. Following the 2026 foundation assessment, which identified no urgent structural concerns and no need for immediate remedial works, the association nevertheless decided to take a proactive approach towards future maintenance. As a precautionary measure, the owners voted to increase the monthly service charges by €100 per apartment, specifically to build an additional reserve for any potential future foundation related works, that may arise over the long term. As a result, the current service charges for this apartment amount to €160 per month. This decision reflects the association’s prudent financial management and commitment to preserving the quality and long term value of the building.
