A bright two-bedroom apartment on the first floor of a characteristic building dating from 1924, featuring a kitchen and bathroom renovated in 2021, a separate home office and two balconies. Situated on a quiet street in the heart of De Baarsjes, with Rembrandtpark just one street away. What makes this apartment particularly special is the opportunity to extend the rear balcony across the full width of the property, creating a west-facing terrace extending 2.5 metres from the rear façade. This would provide a wonderful extension of the living space, where you could enjoy outdoor dining and relaxing in the afternoon and evening sun. The Owners' Association (VvE) has granted conditional approval for the extension, and the environmental permit application is currently being processed. A visual rendering included in the property photos illustrates what this future terrace could look like.

Layout The apartment is located on the first floor and is accessed via the communal staircase. The entrance hall provides access to all rooms. At the front of the apartment is the living room with a dining area. Thanks to the large east-facing windows and a ceiling height of 2.72 metres, this is a bright and spacious room that benefits from the morning sun. Adjacent to the living room is a separate home office, featuring French doors opening onto a balcony at the front. An ideal space for working from home, which could also be used as a hobby room or guest bedroom. At the rear of the apartment are the kitchen and main bedroom, both with direct access to the balcony. The kitchen was renovated in 2021 and is equipped with a range of built-in appliances. The bedroom comfortably accommodates a double bed and a full-height wardrobe. The bathroom was also renovated in 2021 and features a shower, vanity unit and toilet. The rear balcony extends across the full width of the apartment and faces west, allowing you to enjoy the afternoon and evening sun. Owners' Association (VvE) The apartment forms part of the Owners' Association Van Spilbergenstraat 81 in Amsterdam. This is a small-scale association comprising four apartment rights and is managed by the owners themselves. Meetings are held periodically, and a long-term maintenance plan dating from 2025 is in place. The monthly service charges are € 150. As of September 2026, the association's reserve fund amounted to approximately € 7,400. Ground lease The property is situated on leasehold land owned by the Municipality of Amsterdam (Vicariegrond). The ground rent has been paid in advance until 2064, meaning no annual ground rent is payable during this period. An application has been submitted to convert the existing leasehold arrangement to a perpetual ground lease under favourable conditions. The municipality's formal offer has not yet been received. Neighbourhood Van Spilbergenstraat is a quiet residential street in the heart of De Baarsjes, one of the most popular neighbourhoods in Amsterdam West.

Important information The Owners' Association has granted conditional approval for the rear balcony to be extended to a maximum depth of 2.5 metres from the rear façade. The environmental permit application is currently being processed. The permit has not yet been granted, and the extension has not yet been constructed. One of the conditions attached to the approval is a written agreement with the upstairs neighbours governing the use of the extended balcony. This agreement stipulates that, between 11:00 PM and 7:00 AM, the balcony may not be used for activities that cause audible disturbance. Barbecuing, the use of fire pits and other activities causing smoke or odour nuisance are also prohibited. These obligations will be binding on future owners through a contractual chain clause (kettingbeding) and will be included in the notarial deed of transfer. The full agreement is available upon request from the selling agent. In summary A bright and well-maintained apartment with a separate home office, two balconies and the exciting possibility of creating a generous west-facing terrace, all situated on a quiet street just one street away from Rembrandtpark.
