Description
It’s a pleasure to put this property on the market: a huge, upstairs, freehold apartment with 136 m² of living space. This fabulous four-room apartment is in a prime location in the Westerpark district, with a clear view of the water of De Wittenkade, close to the centre of Amsterdam (the Jordaan neighbourhood!) and stone’s throw from Westerpark.
LAYOUT
The central staircase takes you to the apartment on the third floor. You enter a bright and airy living room with windows at both ends and an open-plan kitchen at the rear. The kitchen has all the mod cons; a five-ring gas hob and large oven, extractor hood, dishwasher and loads of storage space. There’s a broad balcony at the rear, and a separate toilet with a handbasin.
Fourth floor: a spacious landing leads to two good-sized bedrooms. The bathroom features a bath, walk-in shower, toilet and double basins. There is also a storeroom in the hall with connections for a washing machine/dryer.
Fifth floor: light and spacious floor that would make a perfect office or extra bedroom.
Herringbone parquet flooring throughout the apartment.
LOCATION
This apartment is in a quiet street (on a canal), yet right in the middle of Amsterdam! The lively Staatslieden neighbourhood has a wide range of hospitality, culture and green spaces. Westerpark is just a stone’s throw away, offering not only friendly bars, restaurants and Het Ketelhuis film house, but also opportunities for sport and recreation. Close to Haarlemmerdijk and Amsterdam Centraal station, with numerous supermarkets and shops nearby for daily grocery shopping. The convenient location in terms of public transport and main roads means that you can be in and out of town in next to no time.
