Popular restaurants and cafés are just around the corner, including Vessel, Bar Hout, Anne & Max, REM and The July at Hotel Boat & Co, which features a public sun terrace and swimming jetty that is particularly popular during the summer months with swimmers taking a dip in the IJ. The location is also excellent in terms of accessibility. The ferry to Amsterdam-Noord departs within walking distance from the iconic Pontsteiger building. Amsterdam Central Station is approximately 10 minutes away by bicycle and can also be reached by bus 48, with a bus stop within walking distance of the apartment.

Parking, Bicycle Storage, Storage Room and Communal Facilities The apartment includes a private parking space in the underground garage, which is accessible by lift.

Ground Lease Bought Out Until 2068 From the moment the property was completed in 2020 until 30 April 2068, the ground lease (erfpachtcanon) for both the apartment and the parking space has been fully bought out for a total amount of € 213.116,-. After that, the ground lease will convert into a perpetual fixed arrangement under very favourable terms. For the owner, this means no unexpected costs, maximum certainty, and a financially comfortable future. - The apartment Upon completion in 2020, the annual ground lease payment amounted to € 6.647,-. Thanks to the buyout, the owner will pay no annual ground lease charges until 2068. Without the buyout, the annual ground lease payment would already have been approximately € 8.400,- in 2026, and with an average annual indexation of 3%, this amount would have increased to approximately € 13.087,- after 15 years. With the buyout, the owner remains completely free from these annual costs. - The parking space The ground lease for the parking space has also been fully bought out. In 2020, the annual ground lease payment was € 134,-. Without the buyout, this would have been approximately € 171,- in 2026, and with 3% annual indexation over 15 years, approximately € 266,-. The buyout therefore also provides the owner with substantial long-term savings on annual costs.
