A MODERN apartment, but with many fine TRADITIONAL DECORATIVE DETAILS, in a LEADING location in the Oud Zuid district.
This lovely apartment has a floor surface area of around 83m² and a practical and convenient layout, as well as plenty of outdoor space in the form of two balconies at the front and rear. Along with the wonderfully preserved details, the apartment has notably high ceilings - three metres, no less. Additional space of around 25m² can be found on the top floor, which is ideal for working from home, or as a guest bedroom, or for storage.
LAYOUT
From the street-level entrance, in the form of a magnificent open arch, a set of stone steps leads to a door at first-floor level, from where internal stairs take you to the second floor, and the entrance to the apartment.
Spacious hall, with access to every room. Light enters the living room and kitchen from both ends, making them bright and cheerful at any time of day. A particularly striking feature is the height of the ceiling, around three metres, which helps enhance the sense of space. The living room at the front has lovely views of the tree-lined street, not least because of the apartment’s position on a bend. And of course the balcony is a great place to relax in the sun at the end of the day.
The two rooms are separated by a feature that would once have housed sliding doors, but which now has another practical purpose, as a small study and storage space in the living room, and an extension to the kitchen. The superbly stylish kitchen has recently been completely renovated and comes with every convenience, including a gas cooker, extractor hood, fridge-freezer, dishwasher, and plenty of cupboard space. Passing through two French windows, you find yourself on the large east-facing balcony that extends across the entire width of the apartment. With a surface area of around 9m², its position ensures excellent views. The two bedrooms are both of a good size. The main bedroom is at the front of the apartment, with the other (currently used as a nursery) at the rear, with access to the balcony. The attractive and modern bathroom includes a bath, walk-in shower, sink, and a toilet.
There are two more rooms on the top (fourth) floor, with a total area of some 25m². The larger of the two would make an excellent guest room or study. In addition, there is a useful storage space. One option would be to obtain a residential designation for these spaces; a permit from the Amsterdam City Council would be required, but it should be noted that several members of the owners’ association have already successfully done this.
LOCATION
Excellent location in one of the most appealing parts of the Oud Zuid district, with a great combination of a comfortable home and plenty of nearby amenities. You can find your everyday shopping needs on Van Baerlestraat, Beethovenstraat, and Cornelis Schuytstraat, with their range of delicatessens, butchers, bakers, greengrocers, etc. There are also numerous restaurants and bars, including Café Caron, Van Dam, De Joffers, GEORGE, Carter, Ferilli’s, etc. And every Saturday, the square on Jacob Obrechtstraat is home to the organic ZuiderMRKT. Vondelpark is just around the corner - perfect for a gentle stroll, an invigorating run, a game of tennis with friends, or simply relaxing and relishing the atmosphere and the scenery. There are a number of top-notch cultural amenities nearby too, such as the Concertgebouw, the Stedelijk Museum, Van Gogh Museum, and Rijksmuseum. Local public transport connections include tram routes 3, 5, and 12 (stopping at Roelof Hartplein) and a number of bus routes. By car, you can be on the A10 Ring Road in just ten minutes (junctions S107 and S108).
