In the city centre, on the centrally located island of Wittenburg, we proudly present this tastefully renovated four-room corner apartment with a spacious garden!
Your own boat can be moored directly next to the property in the Kattenburgervaart canal. The apartment was completely and high-quality renovated in 2018. A small park is located directly behind the garden.
This well-laid-out apartment offers three full-sized bedrooms and a lovely garden of no less than 120 m². The property is situated on a quiet street with only local traffic and the Kattenburgervaart on one side — a rare combination of tranquillity, space, and urban living right in the heart of Amsterdam.
LAYOUT
Through the shared entrance, you reach the apartment on the ground floor.
Entrance hall with access to a separate toilet and the bathroom, which is fitted with a shower and washbasin. At the rear of the apartment, you’ll find the open kitchen with enough space for a dining table, directly connected to the cosy living room. Thanks to its corner position and large windows, the home enjoys an abundance of natural light.
At the front, there is a bedroom. The open kitchen provides access to the garden of approximately 120 m², which extends across the full width of the apartment and includes a wooden storage shed of about 6 m². There are two additional good-sized bedrooms at the quiet rear of the property, overlooking the garden. There is also a walk-in closet with a connection for the washing machine.
The apartment includes a private external storage room of approximately 4 m² on the ground floor, equipped with electricity — ideal for charging an electric bicycle or boat battery.
The entire apartment features a light-coloured cast floor with underfloor heating, providing comfortable warmth throughout. There are no radiators visible, and all walls and ceilings have a smooth finish. The interior doors are an impressive 2.35 metres high.
LOCATION
Jacob Burggraafstraat is located in the eastern part of the city centre on Wittenburg Island. Despite its central location, the Eastern Islands are known for their relaxed and peaceful atmosphere. All amenities can be found nearby: an Albert Heijn supermarket within a 5-minute walk (open 7 days a week), and the Brazilië shopping centre just a short bike ride away. The nearby Czaar Peterstraat offers a range of delicatessens and specialty shops.
In the area, you’ll find various popular restaurants and cafés, including Hannekes Boom, Scheepskameel, Entrepot, and Brouwerij 't IJ. There are also plenty of recreational options, such as Artis Zoo, the Hortus Botanicus, the National Maritime Museum, the Marineterrein, and the Funenpark.
Amsterdam Central Station and Muiderpoort Station are both a short cycle away, providing excellent public transport connections to all parts of Amsterdam and the surrounding region. Several bus and tram lines are also within a few minutes’ walk. By car, you can reach the A10 ring road within minutes via either the Piet Heintunnel or the IJtunnel. Schiphol Airport can be reached in about 30 minutes.
Parking is available in the street with a resident’s permit.
HOMEOWNERS’ ASSOCIATION (VvE)
The apartment holds a 7/1000 share in the homeowners’ association (VvE). The complex was divided into 160 apartment rights in 2004. The VvE is active, has a sustainable multi-year maintenance plan, and is professionally managed by Arlanda VvE Beheer.
The monthly service charges are currently €164.69, which includes building insurance and a maintenance reserve.
A decision has recently been made to start sustainability improvements for the building, including replacement of window frames (with HR++ glass), insulation of the crawl space, and roof insulation. This will significantly improve the building’s energy label. To finance these works, the VvE will take out a collective loan. The “green” option was chosen, meaning that the service costs will temporarily increase by €162.02 per month to cover interest and repayment until the loan is fully paid off.
