Sparrenweg 341091 HR AmsterdamOosterparkbuurt-Zuidwest

SPACIOUS TOP-FLOOR MAISONETTE OF 110 M² WITH THREE BALCONIES, PRIVATE STORAGE AND A PERPETUALLY BOUGHT-OFF GROUND LEASE A bright maisonette on the third and fourth floors of a quiet street in the Oosterparkbuurt, within walking distance of the Oosterpark and the Beukenplein. Three balconies facing north-east and south-west, a private storage unit on the ground floor, and a ground lease that has been bought off in perpetuity: no ground rent, now or ever. What sets this apartment apart is what has been done to it in recent years. The roof was completely renewed and insulated to near new-build standard in 2025, all exterior paintwork was renewed in 2024, and in that same year the flue and the central heating boiler were replaced. LAYOUT Third floor The communal stairwell leads into the entrance hall. The living room and dining area form one continuous space with an open kitchen, with a balcony at either end: morning sun at the front facing north-east, evening sun at the rear facing south-west. This floor also has a bedroom, a bathroom with bathtub and washbasin, a separate toilet and a boiler cupboard. The staircase in the hall leads to the upper floor. Fourth floor Landing giving access to two bedrooms, a separate utility room with washing machine connection and a second toilet. The front bedroom opens onto the third balcony, facing north-east. The pitched roof gives this floor a character of its own. Ground floor Private storage unit of 8 m², with electricity. FLOOR AREAS Living area 110 m², building-related outdoor space 15 m² (three balconies), external storage 8 m², volume 381 m³. Measured in accordance with the Dutch industry measurement standard (BBMI); the measurement report is available on request. GROUND LEASE (ERFPACHT) The ground lease was bought off in perpetuity in 2021 under the 2016 General Provisions. The ground rent is nil and no future revision will follow. This is a meaningful difference from many comparable properties in Amsterdam East, where a ground rent revision is scheduled for 2033. RECENT MAINTENANCE - 2025: full roof renovation. The pitched roof sections were fitted with insulated roof panels with an R-value of 6.0 m²K/W and new fibre-cement corrugated sheeting; the flat roof sections received new PIR insulation and bituminous roofing. - 2024: all exterior paintwork renewed. - 2024: flue replaced and a new high-efficiency combi boiler installed (Intergas Kompakt HRE, CW4, owned outright), with carbon monoxide detector. THE APARTMENT ITSELF The apartment was purchased as a shell in 2016 and fully fitted out thereafter. The kitchen, bathroom, toilets, floors and wall finishes date from 2016. The wooden window frames with double glazing are original, as is the fuse box. The hob is gas-fired. POTENTIAL In 2025 an architectural practice produced a preliminary design for two dormer windows and a rear roof extension, creating a fourth bedroom. The ridge height of the building would remain unchanged. For the dormers the design assumes permit-free construction under article 2.29 of the Dutch Building Decree (Besluit bouwwerken leefomgeving); the roof extension does require a permit and, in addition, an amendment to the deed of division. Both are subject to approval by the owners' association. The drawings are available on request. LOCATION The Oosterparkbuurt is one of the most pleasant neighbourhoods in Amsterdam East: characterful streets, plenty of greenery and everything close at hand. The Oosterpark is within walking distance, as are the shops and cafés of the Eerste Oosterparkstraat and the Beukenplein. The Tropenmuseum and the OLVG hospital are nearby, and Artis zoo, the Oostpoort shopping area and Park Frankendael are all a few minutes away by bike. The combination of lively streets, good cafés and restaurants, greenery and excellent amenities makes this a particularly attractive place to live. Accessibility is equally good. Wibautstraat metro station is around the corner and Amstel station is five minutes away by bike, with various tram and bus connections running through the neighbourhood. The city centre is only a few minutes by bike, and Amsterdam Central station is easily reached. By car, the A10 ring road is readily accessible via the Gooiseweg.
