Living in the Spaarndammerbuurt, with a spacious living room, a sunny south-facing balcony and surprisingly quiet at the back. Welcome to Nova Zemblastraat 405. A well laid-out apartment on the first floor, with a spacious bedroom, plenty of light and a wonderful open view over the large inner garden. You live quietly here, while the Spaarndammerstraat, Westerpark and the Jordaan are all just around the corner. I would be glad to invite you for a viewing.<\/p>
Through the central entrance with intercom, a well-kept stairwell takes you up to the apartment on the first floor.
As you come in, the first thing you notice is how much space and light the living room offers. The large window at the front lets in plenty of daylight and gives a nice view of the street. The wooden floor, white walls and wooden skirting boards form a calm base. The synthetic window frames have double glazing.
The kitchen is at the rear of the apartment. And this is exactly where you notice how pleasant this apartment's location is. You look out over a large, quiet inner garden, and the buildings on the other side are set well back. That gives a pleasant sense of space and privacy.<\/p>
The kitchen has plenty of worktop space and comes with a 4-burner gas hob, dishwasher, fridge, built-in microwave and a built-in Samsung oven from 2019. There is also mechanical ventilation here.<\/p>
The bedroom is spacious and also sits at the quiet rear. From the bedroom you step straight onto the balcony. It faces south and looks out over the large inner garden. A lovely spot to sit outside in peace and enjoy the sun.<\/p>
From the bedroom you also have direct access to the bathroom. It has a practical layout with a shower, washbasin and bathroom cabinet.
There is a surprising amount of storage space. The apartment has two internal storage rooms, one of which has a connection for the washing machine and the central heating unit.
On the ground floor there is also a private storage room with an automatic door mechanism, very handy for parking your bike day to day.<\/p>
The Nova Zemblastraat lies in the heart of the Spaarndammerbuurt, a characterful part of Amsterdam with a lot of Amsterdam School architecture. You live in a quiet street, but you can walk straight to the Spaarndammerstraat for your daily shopping, specialty shops, terraces and caf\u00e9s and restaurants. For a bite to eat or a drink, you have Caf\u00e9 de Walvis, Freud, Bar Moos and De Pizzabakkers nearby, among others.<\/p>
The Westerpark and the Westergasterrein are also within walking distance. Ideal for a walk, exercising in the greenery, a coffee, a film, a restaurant or one of the many events. For swimming you can go to the Brediusbad and the Marnixbad.<\/p>
And then there is the location relative to the rest of the city. The Jordaan, Haarlemmerdijk, Haarlemmerstraat, Noordermarkt and Westerstraat are all quick to reach. You can cycle towards the centre within a few minutes, and Amsterdam Centraal and Sloterdijk station are easy to reach too.<\/p>
Public transport is good here, with several bus and tram connections in the area. By car, the S101 and S102 get you to the A10 ring road quickly. Parking is available on the street, either paid or with a resident's permit, subject to the current conditions of the City of Amsterdam.<\/p>
This is an active owners' association (VvE) with 110 members, professionally managed by VvE Beheer Amsterdam. The service charges are \u20ac114.46 per month.
Another plus: the ground rent has been bought off until 2038, so you pay no annual ground rent until then.
After 2038, the ground rent is fixed at \u20ac698.50 per year.<\/p>
In short, a spacious and bright apartment in a lovely spot in the Spaarndammerbuurt, with plenty of peace, privacy and greenery at the back. And that south-facing balcony makes the picture complete.<\/p>
