Layout

Ground Floor
The apartment is entered through a spacious entrance hall with a separate toilet and a built-in storage cupboard.

The generously proportioned living room is bathed in natural light thanks to the large windows at both the front and rear of the property. Throughout the ground floor, the beautiful original wooden flooring has been reclaimed from the historic Entrepotgebouw De Vijf Werelddelen, adding warmth and character to the home.

French doors open directly onto the private east-facing garden, where you can enjoy the morning and afternoon sun in complete privacy.

The kitchen is practically laid out and offers ample storage space. In addition, the ground floor features a separate multifunctional room that can easily be adapted to suit your needs—as a spacious kitchen-diner, home office, studio, or additional dining room.

A 3D floor plan is included to illustrate a possible layout with a newly designed open-plan kitchen.


First Floor
A spacious landing provides access to the various rooms on the first floor.

At the front of the apartment is a generous room that can serve as a living room, principal bedroom, or home office, with direct access to the west-facing balcony. A second front room offers further flexibility and could be used as a guest bedroom, children's room, or artist's studio.

At the rear is a spacious third bedroom with access to the second balcony overlooking the garden—a peaceful setting with attractive open views.

The sanitary facilities are conveniently arranged in separate rooms at the rear of the apartment, providing both functionality and privacy. There is a separate toilet, a small pantry with washbasin, and an additional room that could easily be converted into a luxurious bathroom with either a walk-in shower or a bathtub.

A 3D floor plan is included to demonstrate a possible layout for a newly designed bathroom.

Ground Lease
The property is situated on leasehold land owned by the Municipality of Amsterdam. The 1994 General Provisions for Continuous Ground Lease (Algemene Bepalingen voor voortdurende erfpacht 1994) apply. The current leasehold period runs until 15 February 2052. The current annual ground rent amounts to EUR 1,818.73 and is subject to five-yearly indexation, with the next indexation taking effect on 15 February 2027. The current leasehold designation is commercial use.

Under the applicable zoning plan, the property has a Mixed Use – 4 designation, allowing residential use, either on its own or in combination with a home office, professional practice or home-based business, on all floors. Changing the registration in the Municipal Basic Administration (BAG) from mixed residential/commercial use to 100% residential use can be carried out relatively easily and does not require a building permit.

Should the leaseholder decide to convert the leasehold designation to residential use, the Municipality of Amsterdam will issue a Building Use Change (BSW) proposal. The annual ground rent payable until 2052 will then be adjusted to reflect the increase in the underlying land value. Based on generally accepted assumptions, this increase is estimated at approximately EUR 8,000 per annum. Following this conversion, the leaseholder may also opt to transfer to perpetual residential leasehold (Eeuwigdurende Erfpacht). Based on an estimated unimproved land value at the 2026 price level, the perpetual annual ground rent is expected to be approximately EUR 8,700. Once fixed, this perpetual ground rent will continue to be indexed and will become payable from 2053 onwards.

The current asking price has been determined taking these anticipated adjustments to the ground rent into account. For indicative purposes only, and based on the 2026 price level, the estimated lump-sum buy-out amounts are approximately EUR 32,000 for the remaining leasehold period until 2052, approximately EUR 137,000 for the Building Use Change (BSW), and approximately EUR 195,000 for conversion to perpetual leasehold after the current favourable conversion arrangements have expired. Please note that buying out the ground lease is entirely optional and is not an obligation for the leaseholder.

Ground lease in Amsterdam is a private legal arrangement with the Municipality of Amsterdam and can be complex, particularly for private buyers. Prospective purchasers are therefore strongly advised to seek independent advice from their own MVA purchasing agent and/or a specialist in Amsterdam leasehold. A list of recognised leasehold specialists can be found on the website of the Amsterdam Real Estate Association (MVA).

The selling agent accepts no liability for the accuracy of the above estimates or indicative calculations.
