405 Nova Zembla Street

Living in the Spaarndammerbuurt neighborhood, with a spacious living room, a sunny south-facing balcony, and a surprising amount of peace and quiet at the back. Welcome to Nova Zemblastraat 405. A well-laid-out apartment on the first floor, featuring a spacious bedroom, plenty of natural light, and a lovely unobstructed view of the large courtyard garden. You’ll enjoy a peaceful living environment here, while Spaarndammerstraat, Westerpark, and the Jordaan are all just around the corner. I’d love to invite you for a tour.

The apartment
Through the main entrance, which has an intercom, you can reach the first-floor apartment via the well-maintained stairwell.
As soon as you walk in, you’ll immediately notice how spacious and bright the living room is. The large front window lets in plenty of natural light and offers a nice view of the street. The hardwood floor, white walls, and wooden baseboards create a calm, neutral backdrop. The plastic window frames are double-glazed.
The kitchen is located at the back of the house. And it’s right here that you realize just how wonderful the location of this apartment is. You look out onto a large, peaceful courtyard garden, and the buildings across the way are a good distance away. This creates a pleasant sense of space and privacy.

The kitchen has plenty of counter space and is equipped with a 4-burner gas stove, a dishwasher, a refrigerator, a built-in microwave, and a Samsung built-in oven from 2019. It also has mechanical ventilation.

The bedroom is spacious and is also located on the quiet back side of the house. From the bedroom, you step right out onto the balcony. It faces south and overlooks the large courtyard garden. It’s a lovely spot to sit outside in peace and quiet and enjoy the sun.

The bedroom also provides direct access to the bathroom. It features a practical layout with a shower, sink, and vanity.
There is a surprising amount of storage space. The home has two indoor storage rooms, one of which has connections for the washing machine and the central heating system.
On the ground floor, there is also a private storage room with an automatic door mechanism—very practical for storing your bike every day.

The Neighborhood
Nova Zemblastraat is located in the heart of the Spaarndammerbuurt, a distinctive part of Amsterdam featuring many examples of Amsterdam School architecture. You’ll live on a quiet street, but it’s just a short walk to Spaarndammerstraat for your daily groceries, specialty shops, outdoor cafes, and restaurants. For a bite to eat or a drink, nearby options include Café de Walvis, Freud, Bar Moos, and De Pizzabakkers.

Westerpark and the Westergas grounds are also within walking distance. They’re perfect for a walk, exercising outdoors, grabbing a coffee, catching a movie, dining out, or attending one of the many events. If you want to go swimming, head to the Brediusbad or the Marnixbad.

And then there’s its location relative to the rest of the city. The Jordaan, Haarlemmerdijk, Haarlemmerstraat, Noordermarkt, and Westerstraat are all within easy reach. You can bike to the city center in just a few minutes, and Amsterdam Central Station and Sloterdijk Station are also easily accessible.

Accessibility
This area is well-served by public transportation, with several bus and tram routes in the vicinity. By car, you can quickly reach the A10 ring road via the S101 and S102. Street parking is available for a fee or with a resident permit, subject to the applicable regulations of the City of Amsterdam.

The Homeowners’ Association and ground lease
This is an active Homeowners’ Association consisting of 110 members and professionally managed by VvE Beheer Amsterdam. The service fees amount to €114.46 per month.
Another plus: the ground rent has been paid off through 2038, so you won’t have to pay an annual ground rent until then.
After 2038, the ground rent is fixed at €698.50 per year.

In short, a spacious and bright apartment in a great location in the Spaarndammerbuurt neighborhood, with plenty of peace and quiet, privacy, and greenery at the back. And that south-facing balcony really tops it all off.
