LAYOUT
The private front door on the piano nobile is reached via some stone steps from the street. Inside, the light entrance hall (with a cloak area) and a glass-paned door lead to the exceptionally spacious and open-plan living room and kitchen-diner. The large windows at the front and glass-paned sliding door to the broad terrace at the back ensure that this space is bathed in natural light. The large, 19-m2 roof terrace is a wonderful spot to combine indoor and outdoor living and a real extension of the living area. The uniquely designed kitchen offers all the mod-cons you need, such as a large island with an induction hob and a tap providing boiling water, a combi-oven, a dishwasher, and a large fridge. The wall has been cleverly used to create lots of storage space.
Downstairs, in the basement, are the 3 generously sized bedrooms. The master bedroom with a large walk-in wardrobe is at the front. The other two bedrooms are centrally positioned and they can either be used as children’s rooms or as a study. Both of these rooms have mechanical ventilation. The additional space at the back of the house can be used as a lounge area or workspace, but it can also be turned into another bedroom by closing it off with a door. Large doors in this space open to the broad patio garden. The apartment has two bathrooms – the first with a bath, a walk-in shower, and a double washbasin and the second with a walk-in shower, a lavatory, and a washbasin. Upstairs is a separate toilet with a washstand. The basement hallway includes a pantry with white goods connections, a Quooker tap that also provides carbonated water, and plenty of (storage) space for an extra fridge and freezer.
LOCATION
This stunning downstairs property is located in a highly sought-after street within the well-known Helmers/Da Costa neighbourhood, just a short walk from the canals and the Vondelpark.
