Charming Canal-Side Living in the Heart of Historic Amsterdam
Situated on the picturesque Recht Boomssloot, one of the most beautiful and tranquil canals in Amsterdam's historic city centre, this bright and well-designed one-bedroom apartment of approximately 57 sq m offers the perfect combination of peaceful canal-side living and the vibrant atmosphere of the city centre. Enjoy beautiful views over the canal from the living room and your private balcony, while being just moments away from everything that makes central Amsterdam so desirable.
The apartment is located on the first floor of a well-maintained, small-scale apartment building dating from 1985. A particular highlight is the beautifully landscaped communal courtyard garden, providing a peaceful green oasis where residents can relax or socialise.
The property offers a practical and comfortable layout, comprising a spacious living room overlooking the canal, a separate (simple) kitchen, a generously sized bedroom, a bathroom with underfloor heating, a bathtub with shower, toilet and washbasin unit, as well as an internal storage cupboard. In addition, the apartment benefits from a private storage room in the basement, ideal for bicycles and additional storage.
From a technical perspective, the apartment provides a solid foundation. Heating and hot water are supplied by a gas-fired combination boiler, while the bathroom benefits from electric underfloor heating. The property is further equipped with double glazing and insulated walls, floors and ceilings, resulting in a favourable Energy Label C.
The apartment forms part of an active and professionally managed Owners' Association (VvE), which operates in accordance with a long-term maintenance plan (MJOP). The current service charge amounts to 121,69 euro per month. An important advantage is that the property is situated on perpetually prepaid leasehold land, meaning there are no future ground lease payments to be made.
