Situated on the second floor, the property features a wonderfully bright through-living room, a cosy kitchen-diner and a sunny west-facing balcony where you can enjoy the afternoon and evening sun. The apartment also feels considerably more spacious than its floor area might suggest, combining the character of a historic Amsterdam building with the comforts of modern living. With an energy label A, a building that was extensively renovated in 2011 and ground rent paid off until 31 December 2056, the apartment offers comfortable and energy-efficient living. Add a spacious bedroom, a private storage room of approximately 7 m² on the top floor and an excellent location close to Vondelpark, the Zuidas business district and a wide selection of popular cafés and restaurants, and you have a wonderful place to call home for years to come. LOCATION AND ACCESSIBILITY The location is simply excellent. Sportstraat is a quiet, charming street in the highly sought-after Stadionbuurt neighbourhood, with all the amenities of Amsterdam Oud-Zuid within walking distance. The immediate area is home to a variety of popular cafés and restaurants, including Café Kiebêrt, Bar Grill Marathonweg, Le Fournil, L'Amuse, Piattini, SHOT Lifestyle & Coffee, Bar Bonnie and Café Lomans. Whether you fancy a good coffee, a leisurely lunch or drinks with friends, everything is just around the corner. For everyday shopping, Stadionplein and Olympiaplein offer a range of supermarkets and specialist food shops. There is also no shortage of green spaces and sporting facilities. Vondelpark, Amsterdamse Bos and the many sports fields around Frans Otten Stadion and Sportpark De Schinkel are all nearby. For boating enthusiasts, the location is ideal too: from Olympiakade, you can easily navigate towards Amsterdam's canals and the historic city centre. Transport connections are excellent. Amsterdam Zuid Station and the Zuidas business district are just a few minutes away by bicycle, while the city centre is also easily accessible. By car, you can reach the A10 ring road within minutes, and Schiphol Airport is conveniently accessible as well. An additional benefit is the possibility of applying for two residential parking permits. As part of the parking permit scheme, residents can also park in the permit-holder section of Parkeergarage Stadionplein Zuid (source: Municipality of Amsterdam). LAYOUT The apartment's entrance on the second floor is accessed via a wide, well-maintained communal staircase. Upon entering, the abundance of natural light immediately stands out. Thanks to the through-living room, with large windows on both sides, the apartment enjoys a bright and spacious atmosphere throughout the day. The wide wooden flooring adds warmth and elegance, providing a beautiful foundation for the interior. The living room flows seamlessly into the inviting kitchen-diner, creating a wonderful living space where you can easily spend hours. Whether you enjoy cooking elaborate meals, dining together or entertaining friends, this is the heart of the home. The kitchen is practical and well-equipped, featuring a range of built-in appliances, including a dishwasher, fridge, freezer and oven. From the kitchen, you step directly onto the well-maintained balcony. Its favourable west-facing orientation means you can enjoy plenty of afternoon and evening sunshine. It is the perfect spot to unwind outdoors after a day at work, enjoy a leisurely meal or spend a warm summer evening dining with the doors open. The balcony effectively extends the kitchen-diner, creating an appealing connection between indoor and outdoor living. The bedroom is situated at the quiet rear of the apartment and offers ample space for a generous double bed and wardrobes. The bathroom is surprisingly spacious and thoughtfully laid out. It features a generous walk-in shower, a wall-hung toilet and a convenient washing machine connection. The large floor tiles create a calm, timeless look that complements the well-maintained finish throughout the apartment. On the top floor, you will also find a private storage room of approximately 7 m². This is ideal for storing suitcases, seasonal belongings and other items you do not need every day. CHARACTER AND SUSTAINABILITY The apartment forms part of a distinctive building in the Amsterdam School architectural style, designated as a municipal monument. The building underwent extensive renovation in 2011, including work on the window frames, insulation, pipework and electrical installation. The result is a home that combines the character of a historic Amsterdam property with the comfort of a modernised apartment. With an energy label A, the apartment is energy-efficient and well insulated. This contributes to a comfortable indoor climate and lower energy costs. Another potential advantage is that some mortgage lenders offer additional financing options or interest-rate discounts for properties with favourable energy labels. OWNERS' ASSOCIATION (VvE) The apartment forms part of an active Owners' Association (VvE), comprising 113 apartment rights. The association is professionally managed by Stedeplan and has a long-term maintenance plan (MJOP), providing a clear overview of the building's future maintenance requirements. The monthly service charges are €191. LEASEHOLD The property is situated on land owned by the Municipality of Amsterdam and held under a leasehold arrangement (erfpacht). The ground rent has been paid off in advance until 31 December 2056. No annual ground rent is therefore payable until that date.
