About Tjotterspad 13B, Amsterdam
The price is on the high side compared to the average for detached homes in Amsterdam, but the combination of a large plot (605 m²), an A energy label, and a location in the Amsterdamse Bos is exceptional. Detached houses in this part of the city are rare, so the premium reflects the uniqueness of the property.
The Amsterdamse Bos is a very quiet, green area with only 65 residents. It is not urban at all, you are surrounded by forest and nature. Most homes are owner-occupied single-family houses, and the population consists mainly of couples and older people. It is ideal if you value peace and privacy.
The nearest train station is 3.4 km away. That is about a 10-minute drive or a 40-minute walk. Public transport connections are limited, so a car is handy for commuting.
Within a ten-minute walk you have Van Detschool (special education) and De Apollo (secondary school). The Geert Groote College and Geert Groote School are also within walking distance. There are plenty of options for primary and secondary education in the area.
Yes, the house has an A energy label, which is very efficient. That means low heating costs and a good level of insulation. Given the age of the building (1900), this is a strong point, the home has been well modernised.
The plot is 605 m², which is very generous for Amsterdam. While the listing does not explicitly mention a garden, the size of the plot suggests there is plenty of outdoor space. You can expect a private garden or at least a large yard.
