About this property

Living by the Poel

On the second floor of the Poelzicht apartment building, in the heart of the green Keizer Karelpark neighbourhood, lies this two-room apartment of 40 m², with its own balcony and a private storage room on the ground floor. The building's name gives it away: the Amstelveense Poel lake and the edge of the Amsterdamse Bos are just around the corner.

Keizer Karelpark is a quiet, leafy neighbourhood, spaciously laid out with plenty of greenery between the buildings. For everyday shopping you can walk to the Albert Heijn supermarket at the Maalderij or the shops on the Lindenlaan and the Van der Hooplaan, and Amstelveen's Stadshart is just a few minutes away by bike. Schiphol, the Zuidas and the A9 are also within easy reach, and parking here is free.

The apartment is part of a well-kept building with a lift, central heating and an active owners' association with healthy reserves. It stands on freehold land, so there is no ground lease. A pleasant, affordable first home in Amstelveen, or a practical base close to Amsterdam and Schiphol.

Layout

The central entrance, the lift and the gallery bring you to the second floor. The hallway gives access to all rooms of the apartment.

Living room. The living room has an easy-care laminate floor, and its large windows let in plenty of daylight, bringing a sense of the outdoors inside.

Kitchen. The kitchen features a kitchen unit with wall cabinets. There is a dishwasher connection under the sink.

Bedroom. The bedroom has room for a double bed. The 2 m² balcony is accessible from the bedroom. It is finished with decking and has a handy storage rack. Just enough space for a chair, a few plants and a coffee in the open air.

Bathroom and toilet. The apartment has a bathroom and a separate toilet. Hot water comes from a private electric boiler, which is owned rather than rented.

Storage. A private 5 m² storage room on the ground floor belongs to the apartment, ideal for your bike, suitcases or seasonal items.
